    Try not to take it personally if a song you submitted comes last, despite how much it really really hurts.

    Like most, I generally only submit songs I like. So it’d be a bit disappointing but not a big deal. Just different tastes :)

    There was really only one answer for this first one anyways tbh

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,621 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    Ah, The River by Bruce has just come on, why didn't I enter that?!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,708 ✭✭✭✭Green&Red


    Ecto, I thought the way Rikkand did his last reveal was excellent, keeping the top three and the bottom three until last

    Twas absolute torture :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,941 ✭✭✭osh


    That was just one round he did that wasn’t it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,609 ✭✭✭Ectoplasm


    Ready to get started. If I make a mess of it, I'm blaming someone else.

    Category One was Tell Me a Story and it proved really difficult to judge. I had a process where I wrote down my first impressions then after I listened to each song for a bit and then finally my decision. That led to a bunch of tied songs so I added in a novelty bonus to help sort them out. If your song was brand new to me the chances are it did better than those I was super familiar with but that mostly helped with sorting those lumped together.

    My top 5 were probably the easiest to select but (unfortunately) there weren't too many that I really didn't like.

    Right so. Drumroll please...

    That's all well and good for Rikand with his fancy ways. :pac:

    Tonight will be a straight run... if I can manage that without breaking boards, we'll see about shiny reveals :P
