i didnt have the time to make fancy graphics like i did last time so im gonna do this a different way. basically im just gonna reveal everyone's placing from last to first, with number of points and some stats as well as how they voted
6/16 competitor votes and 1/2 jury votes. you still have time to sign up for jury! just pm me or post here and submit your votes to me via pm before the deadline.
reminder that the deadline is friday, september 16, at midnight CST/GMT-6 (thats 11:59pm)
so please try to be prompt in submitting your votes instead of waiting til the last second for my sake, thanks!
additionally i have been thinking about how to allocate points for the theme and this is the method i have decided on -- there are three levels for how relevant the theme is to your song.
level 0 -- not at all relevant to the theme. no points added
level 1 -- the only "dreamy" thing about your song is that the word dream is in the title or one time in the lyrics. five percent of your point earnings is added to your overall score
level 2 -- legitimately relates to the theme, lyrics and all. ten percent of your point earnings is added to your overall score
level 3 -- you added deeper meaning to your entry, and i appreciate that. fifteen percent of your point earnings is added to your overall score
instead of waiting to see what level your song has, im going to post it here and now, and if anyone wants to dispute their given level please do so; DONT dispute it here to avoid revealing which song is yours, PMS ONLY
When You Sleep by My Bloody Valentine -- L3
If I Can Dream by Elvis Presley -- L2

ok, apparently freakshow by lady gaga is no longer available anywhere on youtube which really puts a dent in this contest so im going to have to remove Kenny from the contest since it already started and it would be unfair to add a new song this late since ive already received some votes. sorry kenny, maybe next time : (
well i dont think we'll be getting anyone else sooooo we're DONE and we can MOVE ON
basically how voting works:
Entrants must vote on all other songs using the points 12, 10, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1. One song will get 12 points, one will get 10 etc. All other songs will get 0 points.
so, in your pm to me detailing your votes, all you need to do is put it in this format:
Jury member: Yes / No (you are a jury member if you are not participating in the current ongoing contest) 12 points -- 10 points -- 8 points -- 7 points -- 6 points -- 5 points -- 4 points -- 3 points -- 2 points -- 1 point -- Own song -- (only answer if you are participating in the current ongoing contest)
there is no need to list songs that received 0 points, please just list the ones you DID give points to. you also cannot vote for your own song, and please do not release your votes to anyone else but me for sake of anonymity and fairness. please know that at the end of this contest, your votes will be public.
good luck to everyone and please remember to vote by FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 16 AT MIDNIGHT (11.59 PM) CST/GMT-6
scores will be released on saturday night after i spend the day with my boy toy ; )
