6001/6096: Heats, Week 10

[Bang Jan]

The way this game works is that you will be given two sets of four songs, your job is to rank each of the sets from best to worst. First place gets 4 points, second gets 3 etc.

The song with the most points in each set will advance to the semi-finals. 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. Also the six highest scoring non-winners in the heat stage (based off point per voter and then percentage of first place votes) will also advance to the semi-finals.

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

Nothing I'm too crazy about except my top two in group one. What can I say? I love Janet Jackson and in the right mindset I love Journey.

I'll probably never get what makes Janet Jackson even remotely special, but otherwise this is one of the better line-ups of this game so far.
