    Just missing two now lads.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,582 ✭✭✭BK5


    Just sent my votes in there now.



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 26,259 Mod ✭✭✭✭Loughc


    All are in now…. let's go!!



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 26,259 Mod ✭✭✭✭Loughc

    All up for grabs at the early stages



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 26,259 Mod ✭✭✭✭Loughc


    Next up it's juror @DvB and It's the Hollywood comeback story, from loser to winner of the loser final to his first 12 points of the GRAND Final. Andy Williams score 12 points and is sitting in 3rd place.

    1st and 2nd place shows us consistency is the key. The Pogues scoring 10 points in both round 1 and round 2 votes and Band Aid scoring 8 points in both rounds leave them sitting 1st and 2nd for now.

    @forumdedum enters the fray now and The Pogues picks up it's first 12 points of the game and now gives it a commanding lead at the early stage.

    Will this be the runaway Pogues show or will we see a comeback….

    ….tune in later today as we continue the vote results…

    UPDATE!!!!

    One error on my behalf I missed The Waitress off DVB R2 votes, meaning he only had 9 votes.

    Updated results below, no changes at the top.

    Early stages but no votes for Driving home for Christmas yet, surprising



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 635 ✭✭✭dubstepper


    None for Chris de Burgh either. Less surprising 😁

    And we are back time for Round 4 courtesy of @Necro

    Mud - Lonely This Christmas picks up not only it's first points of the game but it's first 12 points, making this the 4th different awardee of the golden 12 points.

    Gap at the top closing as Pogues scored low this round.



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 26,259 Mod ✭✭✭✭Loughc


    @Quantum Erasure is up next.

    And Another different 12 point winner, this time Boney M, who nos shoots up to 4th place.

    image.png

    The Pogues are beginning to pull away now. The battle for 2nd and 3rd place is wide open.



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 26,259 Mod ✭✭✭✭Loughc


    We are at the half way mark. @dubstepper will take us there.

    And UNBELIEVABLY we have a 6th different 12 points awardee… this time the forgotten Wham Last Christmas take the 12 points

    image.png

    The gap at the top has closed to 9 points due to the pogues not scoring at all this round, Shakey putting up a great fight, do we have a comeback on the cards? 3rd place is wide open for anyone, can The Pogues re-group or will they lose their head 🤫 find out later on when we count rounds 7-9….



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 26,259 Mod ✭✭✭✭Loughc


    Only 2 songs as well with no scores. Not bad out of 26 songs.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,435 ✭✭✭✭Kolido


    Shakin Stevens in 2nd, you'll need a good shakin :)

    Also was Feliz Navidad not even nominated? Yes I know, I should have played the game

    surprised there's no love for 'The Power of Love', great tune if not exactly Christmassy

    @Quantum Erasure

    There is love coming down the line ..♥️💓💕💌

    No 1 for weeks one Christmas long long ago which has it imprinted on the collective memory as a Christmas song , but it's not really, its just about love .

    But hey, it doesn't get much more Christmassy than this I think with the angels etc

    Apologies folks work got in the way. Results will resume tomorrow.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,582 ✭✭✭BK5


    It ads to the tension, way more exciting than the last general election anyway.



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 26,259 Mod ✭✭✭✭Loughc


    And we are LIVE!

    Vote number 7 is in @PTH2009

    And FONY takes firm hold of the top position thanks to 12 points from PTH.

    3rd place still wide open and Shakey is beginning to Shake at the idea of holding onto 2nd place.

    Round 8 here we go! Do you smell what @Smell the glove is voting?

    The Dark Horse Greg Lake nabs 12 points and shoots into 2nd place, the Pogues lose some ground but still remain strong

  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 26,259 Mod ✭✭✭✭Loughc


    Here we go, Round 9… @BK5 take us to our next break in play….

    Wham Last Christmas scores it's second 12 pointer and now claims 3rd place. Shakey drops to 4th after not scoring in 2 rounds.

    Pouges maintains a 22 point lead at top, meaning they are inching close to a win. Greg Lake holds onto second, who saw that coming?
