Song Tournament (October 2023)
Every couple of days there will be a new 'round' where any and all newly nominated songs are up against each other. As soon as voting starts for one 'round,' nominations will be accepted for the next 'round'. Players vote by ranking all the songs in that 'round' from 1 (your favorite) to n (your least favorite). Songs will be awarded points based on their positional ranking in each vote (number of points will depend on the number of songs contesting the 'round' - if 10 songs #1 song would get 10 points, #10 song would get 1 point). The winning song from each 'round' (or songs in the case of a tie) goes through to the 'Final' at the end of the month. Songs that have won previous tournaments are ineligible -

Nominations need to be freely available to all participants, YouTube is most commonly used but any freely available and legal source is acceptable. Sometimes YouTube videos can be geo-blocked so where necessary an alternative link for those who might need it may be required. You can check if/where any YouTube vid has been geo-blocked via this website. (Credit to Chypmunk for establishing the rules and voting method.) |

I'd hoped that someone else would step up as the new host of our song tournaments now that @Chypmunk has seemingly retired to a cozy den somewhere with his life's collection of nuts and seeds, but after several months with no volunteers, I guess it's time for your resident murder clown to assume the responsibility. These song tournaments have been one of my favorite aspects of Movie Forums over the last several years, introducing me to numerous great songs and artists previously unknown to me. The song tournaments also encourage me to remain adventurous in my own listening habits in the search for future nominations, so I'd hate to see the tournaments be permanently discontinued. Hopefully enough interest remains that we can continue the tradition 3-4 times a year, as we have in the past. Tagging some of the regular participants, although anyone can join: @Torgo; @Death Proof; @Sedai; @gbgoodies; @jiraffejustin; @honeykid; @Tugg; @crumbsroom; @ynwtf; @CaptainT; @mistique; @mrblond; @John-Connor; @pahaK; @Swan; @ueno_station54; @resopamenic; @Derek Vinyard; @Thief . . . and obviously @Chypmunk himself As always, everyone will get at least 48 hours to vote in each round. I'll probably post each new set of songs around midnight EST. |

Never participated in one of these before, but I do love music. So, I can pull any song out of my butt that I think the majority would like, am I correct?
If so, I nominate: The Record Company - "Off the Ground" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8aNK3XMP5w |

Re: Song Tournament (October 2023)
I should be in, just need to relearn how to do the links proper.
My brain doesn't retain this kind of information. |
Re: Song Tournament (October 2023)
Just hyperlink with the link being m. instead of www.

Re: Song Tournament (October 2023)
Ok, I'll see if I can jump in with some scary tunes.

Thanks for starting these up again and for taking on Chypmunk's fluffy mantle.
Round 1: Caroline Polachek - Welcome to My Island |
Hopefully I'll have some time to do this, mood allowing. So I'll start with something I've rediscovered very recently. I think I might've nominated this before? Just posting it now feels familiar.
