6001/6096: Semi-finals, Week 3

Post by Bang Jan »

This is the last week before the Grand Final BTW.

The way this game works is that you will be given two sets of five songs, your job is to rank each of the sets from best to worst. First place gets 5 points, second gets 4 etc.

The song with the most points in each set will advance to the grand final. If there is a tie for points, then the song with more first place votes will advance. If they are tied on first place votes as well, there will be a sudden death tiebreak. Only outright group winners advance from here, there is no repechage!

Feel free to ask any questions, deadline is next Wednesday at 15:00 UTC.

I agree with DaveC, the quality difference between the two groups is absurd to me. The first batch is easily the weakest of this whole round.

4 | Spandau Ballet | Chant No. 1 (I Don't Need This Pressure On)
7 | M.A.N.D.Y. vs. Booka Shade | Body Language
8 | Simple Minds | Someone Somewhere In Summertime
9 | Little Anthony and The Imperials | Hurt So Bad
10 | Al Green | Look What You Done for Me
Chant No. 1 sounds so much like a Talking Heads song that I'd almost expect an announcement halfway: "Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. David Byrne!'. Much cheering. It's noticeable, because otherwise Spandau Ballad doesn't remind me much of Talking Heads.
