15 more winging their way to you. A few will be duplicates I'm sure, but they had to be included. I threw in a few more leftfield ones too

Cheers EN. Surprisingly, there has not been that many duplicates for this tournament at all (apart from one song almost everyone has nominated)

230 songs now and I haven't even added my own songs.

Kolido

We have around 280 songs now. I plan to start this on Oct 19th. Format still to be decided. Still accepting noms.

Each day until kick off, I will post one random song thats been nominated.

I will let everyone here decide if it should go directly to Round 1. First to 4 yes or no will be the result.

Hehe, that sounds like that music talent show (is it X-Factor or one of the American?) that take candidates through?

The song was co-written by Adam Schlesinger of the band Fountains of Wayne, who sadly died earlier this year from Covid at the shockingly young age of 52.

It's a great tune. I feel this would be better if it was restricted to songs that actually came from movies, rather than any old song that just happens to be in a movie. That Thing You Do is certainly a contender. Live and Let Die by Paul McCartney is another that springs to mind.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

I like Sigur Ros, so gonna say Yes

I had thought of this but it seemed to much to screen. Folk can vote against a song if they don't think it should be there. I think the real movie songs will get to the latter stages of the contest.

I'm also going to vote No to Sigur Ros.

Irish Aris

I'll vote yes for Sigur Ros - big fan in general and one of my favourite live bands ever!!

(I think I will be like Paula Abdul again, I will just like everything!!!

Spook_ie

No from me but if it was this one though

Yes or No to Round 1

Absolutely not.

Necro

That's a no from me Sharon.

Purgative

No from me too. Not a great song for a tacky formulaic film.


Kol am I right in thinking this one got a lot of noms?

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Its more likely it only got 1 nomination. Songs with multiple nominations tend to automatically secure a spot in Round 1.

I'm going to say yes - I nominated it!
