Was I supposed to be on for some reason? :eek: If I was, apologies .... (a) I'm getting old and my memory isn't as good I think it used to be and (b) I'm getting old and my memory isn't as good I think it once might have been.

Merry Christmas fellow tournamentees, hope you all have days full of cheer and good company!!

The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale Of New York vs. Aretha Franklin ~ Joy to the World
Is "Fairytale of New York" supposed to sound like it's sung by someone who is completely wasted?

Shane wasted? Surely not!

Great set of gnashers now tho'!
Anywho he's just singing perfectly in character for the song - method singing as it were :)

Round 2, Set 1!!!

Slade - Merry Xmas Everybody vs. Nicole Kidman & Robbie Williams-Something Stupid
This one was an easy choice for me, even though I voted for the other song in the last set.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Carol of the Bells vs. Bing Crosby ~ It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas
This one was not easy. Love Bing Crosby's version of that song, but the Trans-Siberian Orchestra's "Carol of the Bells" is my favourite Christmas tune.

Tänd ett ljus - Triad vs. Chuck Berry ~ Run Rudolph Run
As much as I enjoy "Run Rudolph Run", that "Tänd ett ljus" is just so catchy.

Journey of the angels - Enya vs. Abba-happy new year
I'm not really feeling any of these Enya songs.

Darlene Love - Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) vs. Burl Ives - Rudolph the red nosed Reindeer
"Rudolph" has a lot of nostalgia, but it's not something I'd actually sit down and listen to, whereas I definitely do with the other one.

George Strait - Frosty the Snowman vs. Keith Richards - Run Rudolph Run
See the above comment but switch "Rudolph" for "Frosty".

What's this? - The Nightmare before Christmas vs. Idina Menzel & Michael Bublé - Baby It's Cold Outside
Another match that required a lot of thought. Still think the children with adult voices is really odd to see.

The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale Of New York vs. The Chieftains with Nanci Griffith - The Wexford Carol
Unfortunately I'm not really into either of these songs.

CosmicRunaway

12-24-16, 06:57 PM

Shane wasted? Surely not!
The lyrics involve a man in the "drunk tank", so I assumed the character mentioned in the song was supposed to be intoxicated. Since the singer sounded to me like he was trying to emulate inebriated singing, I figured I'd ask if that was the intention. Maybe that's just how he sounds normally, I wouldn't know.

I was just curious. Does he not sound that way to anyone else?

hehe Nope! You and GBG are usually on when I get here to post my stuff, but since I came here in the morning, I pretty much missed the two of you. I've been up for two days, so I've got to go take a nap. I've only got time for four hours, so I best split. I'll play the songs to vote on, while I wrap presents. I'm assuming the most of you won't be on for this set until after the holiday. No worries, either way. Have a great time. :)

Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Carol of the Bells vs. Bing Crosby ~ It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas (This was a tough choice. They're both great songs.)

Journey of the angels - Enya vs. Abba-happy new year

Darlene Love - Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) vs. Burl Ives - Rudolph the red nosed Reindeer

George Strait - Frosty the Snowman vs. Keith Richards - Run Rudolph Run

What's this? - The Nightmare Before Christmas vs. Idina Menzel & Michael Bublé - Baby It's Cold Outside (I hated voting against "What's this? - The Nightmare Before Christmas", (especially when it's my phone ringer right now), but I love both songs, so I have to go with my nom this time.)

The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale Of New York vs. The Chieftains with Nanci Griffith - The Wexford Carol

I've never heard of it before. Hate is kind of a strong word, but I definitely really dislike musicals. I've only seen a couple I liked, and even those have parts I'm tempted to fast forward through.

I'm sorry I didn't get back last night. I caught that stupid flu bug on Christmas morning. By last night, I was seriously ill, and in too much pain to care. I'm doing OK now. Good enough to catch up, anyways. I'll start listening right now.

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas. :)
Really sorry to hear, not nice at all to be ill at Xmas .... the wife was fortunate as she was feeling terrible right before Xmas but after dosing herself up and sleeping pretty much all day was thankfully much better on Xmas Day. Glad to hear you are feeling somewhat better now.

Thanks, Chyp. I'm happy to hear that your wife made it through. I actually got off here and took a nap from 11 Christmas Eve evening, until 3 in the morning. I woke up feeling great. Around 8 a.m. I felt sick, and it was all downhill after that. At least it's not that stomach virus I had way back. I threw up for a week. My family wanted me in the hospital, because of how bad I was doing. This was a walk in the park, compared to.

Yeah, I had it all edited out in my 1st post, making damn sure I didn't make that mistake. Somehow, I have no idea how, it got ****ed up when I copy/pasted. If I didn't still feel like ****, I'd probably give a damn, but then again, probably not. ;)

OK, Christine hasn't been on yet, but as long as you guys don't care, I'll just keep going with the sets, and post all the winners at the end of the second round. If she still hasn't been on by then, I'll call in Mr.Tie~Breaker. Well, if he's up to it. If he isn't, I'll ask someone else. You all OK with this?

I feel pretty sure GBG will vote tonight.
Christine may well be celebrating her beloved Everton winning a game (or I guess it could be family and Xmas holding her attention), I'm sure she'll pop back on at some point and catch us all up. I'm ok with whatever hun :)

Here is one correction, guys.

May Ev'ry Day be Christmas - Irma Thomas with Preservation Hall Jazz Band (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PsqqI7-1Xmw)

I just assume you guys can do like I do, and quickly copy/paste the title of the video that doesn't work, into the search function of the Youtube page that's open. Mainly because while certain links aren't working for some of us, they are more than likely working for the rest of us. I suppose the fact that I'm not doing this, might be bugging some people. I dunno! :shrug:

I forgot to mention this, but as long as we keep doing a set a day, everyday, we will finish this up on the 5th (The 11th day of Christmas!), or maybe the 6th (The 12th day of Christmas!). I think that's kind of cool. Especially since we didn't want to rush, so that we could enjoy the game, and our busy holidays. So yep, I think this is rather cool timing. :)

Guys I'm so sorry it's just been hectically hectic here with family staying and two little nieces on the go from early morning till nighttime. I'm bloody shattered! I'm just catching up now.
Sorry to hear you've not been well D, hope you're feeling better today. Love to Mrs Chyp too hope she feels better now too

Oh goody, she's back. Thanks for voting, and I hope you had a great holiday. No worries on taking this long. I know how busy this time of year is, and when family visits, it's so much more to do. Take your time. It's no big deal at all, waiting until the end of a round, to see the winners for all the sets. As slow as I started, and for all the holiday delay, I think it will end at a perfect time. At least I know what I am doing now, and will be able to keep things going for my Valentine theme. I'm also going to keep the nominations down to eight per person. That will help a lot.

Great! Here too, now. I got home in the middle of the night. I didn't mean to stay out sooo late. My house was freakin' cold when I got in, too. My heat and air unit broke this past April. I thought it was too damn hot this past summer, but I'd kill for it now, when it's 20 degrees at night, with the wind blowing hard. I said, "Screw having to bake somethin'. Turn that damn oven on, and drop the door all the way open. I bundled up in blankets, and past out. It probably didn't help any that I hadn't slept in 36 hours. :D

Thank God I get to have that stupid thing fixed or replaced in January. It's not been fun.

Nat King Cole ~ Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dhzxQCTCI3E)

One of the best Christmas songs ever.

Dean Martin - Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LTXi04pdUIM)

Originally on my list.

Brook Benton - This Time Of The Year (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EJQiCLDakZ8)

A great song that I forgot about.

Wham! ~ Last Christmas (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=E8gmARGvPlI)

Originally on my list.

Except for Frank Sinatra, I don't even like those other songs. Slade, Hanne Krog, and The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl have done nothing for me, and I'm honestly amazed that they are still in. I don't normally say when I don't like the songs in a tournament, but now that Nat King Cole has lost to one . . . If Dean Martin loses to one of those three, I'll be floored. The only reason I took Dean Martin off my list, was because that's how positive I was that someone else would nominate him. I would have added him back, if no one else did. My list was a mile long, so . . . Anyways, I just hope my favorite songs win, like we all do. I don't care who actually nominates them. That's why I was happy when Wham was taken. I wanted to add some of my daughter's favorite groups in, since she is sort of doing these with me. She's added two to three songs into the "Cover Me" tournament. Anyways, I'm just going to die if Dean baby loses. How could he, with that gorgeous voice!?! Please don't kill me, people. ;)

OK, let me get your attention first. Please read this. GBG and I have been discussing this for a while now, and it's about something that I wanted to do on my other music tournament. This time around, it's 100% my thread, so I do aim to do it. Especially since, like I said before, I'm going to post all votes right here in the thread. It's completely impossible to cheat. Like you all can't compare votes afterwards, anyways. :rolleyes:

OK, GBG and I both believe that it sucks just a bit, during the last two rounds, to come in a bit late, and be able to tell who won. There's that, and/or your vote not even being needed anymore. These threads are a lot of time spent, and it is a drag to miss out on the very last bit of it. Besides, I think it would be a nice surprise to see one big post with all the votes, and the winner, instead of how we have been doing it all this time. So, pleeeeease PM me your votes for rounds 6 and 7. Thanks!!! :)

It's odd that people cared, way back when, anyways. We PM our votes on pretty much every other tournament, movie list, etc . . . around here. So, is everyone OK with this?

Totally fine with me - I've even been considering running one soon where all nominations are made in secret (via PM - we have done that before). Would need to gauge interest - some don't like it I know but that's fine - nobody is forced to take part.

That's cool. It's a lot of work, running these things. Run it the way you want. I'm way too easy going to get worked up over having to PM my answers to you.

I vote we start all over again - this situation simply is not acceptable :bashful:

Ahha! I'd sooner shoot myself in the butt. It's pretty cool that the remaining choices are all your's. I'll get over losing my dear Nat King Cole. Come to think of it, if I were the type to cheat, I'm feelin' pretty damn sure I'd of done something about this. :p

OK, I will go ahead and post the next set. I'll post to PM the choices to me. If anyone hates this, get my attention on it, please. :)

No problem here with sending votes via PM. I think you mentioned it earlier in the thread as well. Sounds like a good idea, as it creates suspense.

Round 5!!!
The Winners . . . or should I say Winner!?!

2~Slade - Merry Xmas Everybody

2~Brook Benton - This Time Of The Year
2~The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale Of New York

Has this ever happened before. Chyp, you big booby!!! You know, if we didn't love ya so much, we'd probably hate you. :p

Congratulations Chyp. I don't remember ever seeing all of the last four finalists nominated by the same person. :up:

Totally fine with me - I've even been considering running one soon where all nominations are made in secret (via PM - we have done that before). Would need to gauge interest - some don't like it I know but that's fine - nobody is forced to take part.

I'm okay with private votes and private nominations. :)

Yeah, that's a bit complicated. I PMed Topsy last night, and then I posted. Topsy, you were on a lot, but never replied to either note from me, so I asked Tongo to vote. Now I have votes from the both of you. I don't suppose he'll mind, but I don't like doing that. How come you didn't reply to my PMs and posts? I waited until 7:00 a.m. this morning, and had no choice but to leave. I tried like hell to not let the schedule get boogered. Oh well. I just had to be bitchy. I haven't slept in three days and nights.

I didnt see your post here,but i checked once i got the PM and voted-but like i said ive been sick so ive slept away most of the day so i didnt see it till late.I dont usually log out though so even if it says im on i might not actually be here.
Im fine with Tongos votes being used though,that doesnt bother me.

No, if I had a way to get on earlier, then yes, I'd of used his to get this going on, but now that you've both voted, it doesn't seem right to not use your votes. I truly don't see it bugging him any. He's not been in it at all, so . . . It does suck that he did the same two votes that I did, but that's just me being bitchy. ;)

PM'd my vote.

For the semi-finals I voted for:
Brook Benton - This Time Of The Year
and
The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale Of New York.

Glad Topsy's votes were used even if it did mean my personal favourite Christmas song of all time (Fairytale) was knocked out - wouldn't have been right at all for someone not involved to have decided what went through when there are an odd number of participants and all have taken part throughout.

A bit late I know but "Merry Christmas Everybody".

Perhaps it's because on this side of the Atlantic people in general have far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far superior musical taste :)

Just a few random factoids from the Eurovision Song Contest
(from the official website: http://www.eurovision.tv/page/history/facts-figures)

Every year an estimated amount of some 180 million viewers watch the Eurovision Song Contest

In 2008 and 2011, a record number of 43 countries participated

Ireland has won 7 times, Sweden 6 and Luxembourg, France, and the United Kingdom 5 times.

Poland made the most impressive debute in 1994, when Edyta Gorniak came 2nd with To Nie Ja, closely followed by Serbia's victory in 2007. Although Serbia & Montenegro was represented twice before, it was the first time that Serbia took part as an independent country

Norway could be found at the bottom of the list as many as eleven times! The unfortunates came last in 1963, 1969, 1974, 1976, 1978, 1981, 1990, 1997, 2001, 2004 and in the Grand Final of 2012. Nevertheless, they also won thrice (in 1985, 1995 and 2009)

In 2001, the largest audience ever attended the Eurovision Song Contest. Almost 38,000 people gathered at Copenhagen's Parken Stadium to witness the first ever Estonian victory.

Most winning songs were performed in English - songs (mostly) in English won 26 times. French is also popular, with 14 victories. Dutch and Hebrew songs won 3 times each

Six different systems were used over the past decades to pick the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest

When Sweden hosted the contest in 2000 and 2013 - it was Denmark that took home the victory

'Nuff said - case closed :D

The Song ~ The Twelve Days of Christmas! (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7eW8pgwFRwM)

The True Meaning of the Twelve Days of Christmas:

What is the Epiphany?

Epiphany, or the 12th day of Christmas, falls on January 6 and marks the official end to the festive season for many Christians.

Today, Pope Francis held the Vatican's annual Holy Mass for the Epiphany in St Peter's Basilica in Rome.
The ancient Christian feast day is significant as a celebration of the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist, as well as a more general celebration of his birth. The six Sundays which follow Epiphany are known as the time of manifestation.

Adoration of the Magi by El Greco, 1568,

The Twelfth Night (Epiphany) also marks a visit to the baby Jesus by The Magi, (the three Kings, or Wise Men). The word 'Epiphany' comes from Greek and means 'manifestation'. It celebrates 'the revelation of God in his Son as human in Jesus Christ'.

In the West, Christians began celebrating the Epiphany in the 4th century, associating it with the visit of the Wise Men to Jesus.

According to the Gospel of Matthew, the three kings found baby Jesus by following a star across the desert to Bethlehem.

The three kings - named Melchior, Caspar and Balthazar - followed the star of Bethlehem to meet the baby Jesus. According to Matthew 2:11, they offered symbolic gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.

The gifts were symbolic of the importance of Jesus' birth, the gold representing his royal standing; frankincense his divine birth; and myrrh his mortality.

During the medieval period, Christmas was celebrated for the 12 days from Christmas Eve on December 24, until the Epiphany. Even up until the 19th century, January 6 was as big a celebration as Christmas Day.

You really did great. Having the last four songs in. Way to go! I really loved both Brook Benton ~ This Time Of The Year, and Dean Martin ~ Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

I thought it gave this theme a nice relaxing feel, running it through the Epiphany. Only one day off, and I'm sorry if that bumped into your thread. If you were wanting to start your theme either last night, or early this morning. When do you think you'll start your thread? I need to check one quick thing on my songs. Have you already ran them through the randomizer?

Once again . . . Way to go, sweetie! :)

I'm so happy that the Dean Martin song won. I've been rooting for it since the beginning of the tournament. :) (I was hoping that the final two would have been that song and the Nat King Cole song.)

Congratulations Chypmunk, for not only winning, but also for having all four of the final four songs in the tournament. That's an amazing accomplishment that might never be matched. :up:

Thank You to Ðèstîñy for running a great tournament. I especially liked that you stuck to your guns, and made the last few rounds private voting. :up:

Congratulations Chyp! a man with excellent musical taste. Fairytale should've won and Slade come second but the other songs were good too.
Thanks for running the tourney Destiny, not easy to do in a busy time of year, you took on a lot but came up with the goods!
I've decided I don't like the secret pm ending, but am of the opinion that if a person is putting in the effort to run a tournament then they should run it the way they want to.

Awww thank you Tops!

Thank you, it's certainly a feat that will never be matched by me as I'll be back to putting up tunes that mainly have a minority following on here (i.e. just me :lol:).

Congratulations Chyp! a man with excellent musical taste. Fairytale should've won and Slade come second but the other songs were good too.
Thank you - of all the people on here I think you tell the sweetest untruths in the nicest way ;) In this instance you're quite right that Fairytale should have won though.

Busy life equals taking forever to reply. :D

Ditto!!! That's what I was hoping for.

May I ask what you don't like about it?

Thank you - of all the people on here I think you tell the sweetest untruths in the nicest way ;)

Is that your way of saying I'm bitchy!?! :D

I'm the meanest one I know.

Thanks a lot, everyone. This was a great tournament. I hope you all can join in on the Valentine's Day tournament. Christine had a great idea about the songs we choose. It was about us not keeping them all sappy love songs. We'll have to think a lot harder, and these lists will be very interesting. I'll be making the thread very soon.

May I ask what you don't like about it?

I'm just not a fan of the PM ending cos you can't see who voted and what they voted for (obviously) but that's one of the bits I like about a tourney - seeing invididuals musical tastes .i like the build up of votes stacking up specially if it's evenly balanced .

Bear in mind that I did also say i think it's up to the person running the tournament as to whatever rules they want to apply. If you object to the rules you don't have to join!

Oh, I wish you would have asked. I would have posted everyone's votes. No one said anything, so I didn't think twice about it. I thought I'd do it if someone needed the votes confirmed.

Yeah, that's true, but I like to do whatever's needed to keep my friends happy. :)
