I was driving and had music on shuffle. I got annoyed when I heard a male voice singing, then remembered I wasn't listening to these playlists anymore

That serves me for thinking that maybe, just maybe Legacy got through.

Well I'm delighted by the bottom two anyway. A mostly male song and a fecking abomination

I've hardly any noms left after that massacre 1 or 2 I think.

11 of mine didn't qualify at all, nor did so many of the ones I rated highly, because most of the people voting are clearly just wrong.

2 of my songs have appeared in Round 1, but 1 was knocked out.

So I have 3 still alive in the tournament, and based on how things have gone, not much hope for any of them.

Other people are the worst. Voting for absolute crap. :rolleyes:

198 Bachelorette Bjork

This would appear to be the lowest scoring of my nominations, honestly not the one I thought would come last from my list. I guess Björk is an acquired taste/love her or hate her artist.

However what disturbs me much more is that my most hated song of all the nominees, the absolute worst of all 300+ songs submitted here, has somehow made it through. :mad: Honestly think the universe is playing a cruel joke on me here.

Yep I'm up to 11 now as well. I was pleasantly surprised to see the likes of Halestorm and Evanescence/Amy Lee nominated, so was hoping that perhaps a few of my nominations would get through.

If it makes you feel any better, I gave it 20. In fact, it barely missed out on being in my list of nominations.

same here. I actually think that I gave 20s to every Bjork song. I have nominated Human Behaviour which was also knocked out.

Gutted to see them knocked out to.

Amy Lee's Love Exists was one of my nominations. Didn't expect to see it knocked out before the first round.

A lot of my favourites that other people had nominated didn't make it either, and far too many songs I gave zero or very few points to seem to have scraped their way through.

Will be interesting to see how all this plays out. Only one song can win after all, so maybe there's still hope that a good one will prevail, despite all these early casualties.

When I saw Mazzy Star first I thought it would be some pop-rap-crap like Rihanna, but they are really good.
Great band but they should really sort that name out.
