Sort of indicative of the decade if you really think about it

Tauriel

Vote submitted even though to me the title belongs to Hozier!

Not the most offensive final I've seen in these tournament things.

Two solid finalists.

Hozier edges it though.

Purgative

Vote submitted even though the title belongs to Rag'n'Bone, or Pharrell, or BadFlower, or PlanB.

SineadSpears

Voted - Still feel guilty for not voting for Rag n Bone man in the last round, but I had my reasons and I stand by them ..

Rag n Bone Man is a poor man's Dermot Kennedy.

JP Liz V1

A ladies final

Final is not any surprise to me, terrible decade of music to be fair

Girly Gal

Vote submitted, poor final tbh, so many great songs knocked out early or not even nominated. I like both songs, but, no way should either be in the final. Glad Hozier didn't make final

Kolido

Music is very subjective, I wouldnt call any decade terrible, its just different. Music changes quicker than our taste in music I guess.
I din't think I would find anything to interest me in this contest but there were quite a few I really liked.

ShaneU

Moan moan moan my song didn't make the final moan moan moan even though I had the chance to vote these songs out numerous times moan moan moan even though I repeatedly made poor decisions like voting Pink over Adele moan moan moan what I'm trying to say is Gangnam Style should have won but the Rihanna song is great too.

I'm imagining Shane doing the Gangnam dance

How long is voting open for?

Gangnam Style will be played at every single one of your 60th's whether you like it or not !

Thanks everyone for staying with us and getting through over 300 entries to whittle it down to the eventual winner.

While it may not be the ideal choice for some, it's nice to see something upbeat and dare I say it - happy - winning out in this gloomy sh1t of a year.

My own vote would have probably gone to Miley Cyrus but I didn't really mind either of the finalists.

That's it from me, hope you enjoyed it as much as I did

Purgative

Thanks for all the work Necro. Really enjoyable, and learnt a bit along the way.


When's the nest comp?

ShaneU

Oh hell yeah!



My nomination won and that's all that matters

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Cheers for running Necro, was a fun tournament and I discovered some great new songs along the way (even though most of 'em were voted out early doors).

I'm also glad to see an upbeat and uplifting winner, and Rihanna and Calvin are two of the biggest names of the decade to be fair to them.

SineadSpears

Great game Necro, thanks for the effort put it in

Irish Aris

Thank you for organising Necro, another splendid competition!!

Nah, that's not true at all. There was lots of brilliant music released in the 2010's, voters here just collectively made consistently terrible decisions!

Anyway there was loads of shíte music released in the Sixties, Seventies and Eighties as well but most of the dross has been forgotten whereas the good stuff has remained with us. Guaranteed in forty or fifty years time there'll be people going "today's music is so terrible, whatever happened to real music like there was in the 2010's". :pac:

Anyway thank you to Necro for all of the time and effort it took to run the thread.

Worthy winner.

Another ship well ran, Necro.

Sawduck

Decent winner alright, thanks for your great work Necro, a really good fun tournament

Rihanna reigns supreme

Well Done Necro

Girly Gal

Good competition and good winner, wouldn't have thought either song would get close, but, that's the way these competitions work out sometimes.
Well done Necro

I'll vote for the floss Liz. Tiz a classic that one

SineadSpears

Rihanna & Calvin is the better song & its a deserving winner for the tune alone.

But Miley has to be given credit for the uproar she created when she brought out that song. Swinging around in her jeyes fluid on a wrecking ball & licking a sledge Hammer. Girls got balls!
Was choice to win for the rattled she created :pac:

bogman_bass

Fair play necro

Kolido

Happy enough with that result, its a good song.

Thanks for the game Neccers, superbly ran and discovered some new music along the way.
