I normally don't care who or what wins these tourneys, but for some reason I was rooting for Harry the whole time, not for me but for him.

Congrats Christine on the runner up and thank you D for hosting.

Its not like you give notice when you change to another round and I have voted in every round but the very last one and thats because you wanted me to vote when i got your PM and i didnt get too vote because of personal problems thats more important then internet stuff.

Thanks for hosting Fate! I was without internet, i just moved out

migod that is a HUGE amount of song tourneys!! GOOD GOD! Thanks Sexy for keepin 'em all organized!!!

thanks for allowing me to pitch hit at the end - quite honored!

and cheers to the Hostess, THANKS Destiny!

and, of course, CONGRATS to the WINNER!!!

~Mr Minio

Ned, I've PMed you pretty much ever round, but I didn't know that's what you thought I was suppose to be doing. It's not. These rounds are a daily thing, and when we join these, we're suppose to check the thread. I just went ahead and PMed everyone that missed it, because I was trying to keep it going. Also, once I did PM you guys, as soon as you all saw the PM, you posted. I really had no idea that's what you've been doing. Waiting on a daily PM notice. I've been nice about it, too, and I've always waited. I've let each round take a lot longer than most. Pretty much everyone else posts their next round every day or faster.

Also, trust me, I know all about running late. I'm the Queen Bee!!! However, I've never expected a PM reminder when I join these. I've actually told some of the people running these threads to not bother sending PMs to me, because I know I can't help running late. It was MoJo, I do believe. Anyways, if I run too late, they skipped me because of it taking too long . . . and I expect that. However, last night was different, because you sounded annoyed. You said that you all have been posting these the whole time, but you'd do what I say. It sounded like you didn't want to do the PM. You then left. I'm not going to know anything else from that. There was just no way for me to know.

Now, trust me, I know about life getting in the way. It's screwing me over again, right now. If I get ripped off one more time, I'm going to lose it. Anyways, all you had to do, was tell me that life was getting you. I would have just moved on. Oddly enough, it was getting me at the same exact time. We may have even vented with each other, as a release. One never knows. It's got to be better than having these misunderstandings.

I will say this . . . That if this is your first tournament, then I didn't know, and I'll make sure to place the "Check daily posts" in the rules from now on.

I think we need to discuss that list. Have you noticed how many times Cricket's name is on it?!? I think he has these tournaments rigged.

Yes, I'm teasing.

Thank You Ðèstîñy for running a great tournament.

Congratulations to Cricket for nominating a great winning song. It's one of my favorite songs, (I even nominated it in Song Tournament #9, but I think some people just automatically vote against my noms ), so I was glad to see it win the tournament.

Congratulations to Christine for being the runner-up, and also nominating a great song.

OPEN FLOOR.

I'm still surprised I forgot about that song. I should have covered my MP3 player better.

I've voted against myself enough times to know that I don't truly care who wins, but I do think I get a kick out of people enjoying what I nominate. I do like that a whole bunch.

Do you mean that you moved out on your own? If so, then congratulations.

You're welcome, and thanks for helping out. It truly did, and probably more than you know.

Thanks, GBG. I suppose you are just teasing, and I hope so. I know you've teased/commented before about your songs getting voted out fast. I couldn't imagine anyone voting you out on purpose, though. I believe I vote on a decent amount of your songs. I hope so. I'm assuming that, because I love a decent amount of Country, and it would seem that the Country songs are your nominations, more times than not. Am I guessing that inaccurately? Anyways, when I first joined in, I made it a habit of nominating loves songs only, or at least a whole hell of a lot. However, like I've said once before, ever since I started mixing them up a lot (The genres!), I've lasted a lot longer. I suddenly sound like a Viagra commercial. So anyways, if you want to last a lot longer, mix it up a little.

Now I'm just having fun.

I don't honestly mind who wins, but I mind which song wins. I was rooting for Harry as well as Iyeoka, and once she'd gone it was all about Harry. I voted him over my own Jackie Wilson song in the final, so yeah it's def all about the music for me!
Anyway, congrats Crick, great choice!
thanks to Destiny for running the tourney and SC as ever for keeping tabs on the stats.

I didn't even remember it being nominated before. I often know songs for many years, and then something just clicks and it becomes a favorite. I recently heard it in a movie and that's when it happened. There's been many songs that became personal favorites after I heard them in movies. Does that happen with other folks?

Yes. I first heard Godspeed You! Black Emperor's cut down East Hastings in 28 Days Later. I thought it was amazing and mentioned it to my son who said he'd seen them live and got one of his mates to lend me an LP. I've been hooked ever since.

I moved from an apartment where I was living alone to a residence where a lor of other studens live, been a day here, hot as duck here but cool place

I've done that with quite a few songs. Saw them while watching a movie and all of a sudden they're favorites I can't seem to hear enough of. No idea why.

Yes, I'm just joking. I know people aren't intentionally voting against my noms. Even when I nominate a song most of you like, it still seems to go up against a powerhouse song and get voted out early. I'm just one of those people that if it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have any luck at all.

I've tried nominating some pop and older rock songs, and some songs from soundtracks, but nothing seemed to work, so I just figured that if I'm going to lose anyway, I may as well nominate country songs. I still try to add some other songs into the mix, but nothing seems to help. In fact, only half of my noms in this tournament are country, and they're still getting voted out early.

I keep a list of all the songs that I've nominated in past tournaments, and I try not to nominate the same song twice. Sometimes I have to in the theme tournaments, but I try to avoid it whenever possible. I just play these tournaments for the fun of it. I don't expect to ever win one of these tournaments. I look at these tournaments as a way to introduce everyone to some songs that they might not know, and hopefully once in a while, someone finds a new song or artist that they like.
