    A lot of the music tournaments have wound up very alternative-centric. So it's time for a change.... POP EXPLOSION!!!

    Boybands

    168 songs have been submitted by y'all, so in order to whittle that down a bit we're gonna have some qualifier matches, 6 in fact.

    Reasons are not mandatory for the contest though they may be taken into account in the event of any ties.


    Qualifier matches will work as follows:

    8 songs per match.

    You can vote for 2 songs out of the 8 in each match.

    First song to reach ten votes will progress to the first round proper
    .


    Qualifier Matches coming up very shortly, at about 6.30pm!!

    Just a slight note on the qualifiers.

    I did not reject any song submitted to the tournament.

    HOWEVER... any entry that didn't quite meet my own view of 'pop music' was automatically placed into the qualifiers.

    Along with a small randomisation of the other entries, and some carefully handpicked entries of my own this will make up the 48 songs in the qualifying matches.

    We didn't quite get it in the 90s band tournament so this will have to do ;) Though I'm not sure the members of Oasis or Blur would enjoy being entered in a pop contest :pac:

    Agree. But Country House is my prefered song out of those listed, so going with that for my vote.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,397 ✭✭✭✭rainbowtrout


    Steps and the Jackson 5.


    Now there's a sentence I never thought I'd write. A good few of the others I wouldn't classify as girl/boyband so I wouldn't vote for them although I prefer the songs

    Anything but Let it Be, tbh. I don't hate The Beatles, but I hate that song.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,397 ✭✭✭✭rainbowtrout


    Savage Garden

    The Supremes


    I'd be of the opinion that boybands/girl bands were more the type of groups that don't play musical instruments for the most part. Usually just sing. Lots of the nominations don't fit what a typical boyband would be so they're not getting my vote
