The "Getting To Know You" Song Tournament
DO NOT POST YOUR NOMINATIONS IN THIS THREAD YET! If most people agree, it might be fun to keep the nominations private, and we could try to guess who nominated what songs, but we'll discuss this idea in this thread and see what everyone thinks about this idea.
Due to the nature of this tournament, it will probably take longer than normal to decide on your nominations, so this thread is being opened early, but the actual tournament won't start for probably about a week from today. (If someone can contact Swan and let him know about it, I think he was interested, and I'd like him to have a chance to join it if he wants to.)
We will probably need at least eight (8) nominations from everyone, but we won't know the exact number until we see how many people join, so have some extra nominations ready just in case we need them.
As I posted in the previous thread, the idea behind this "Getting To Know You" Song Tournament is that each of the nominated songs has to somehow be about the person who nominated it.
For example, if you're a girl with brown eyes, you could nominate the song "Brown Eyed Girl" by Van Morrison. Or if you're basically a happy person, you could nominate something like "Happy" by Pharrell Williams. Maybe you have a special song that was played at your wedding or other special occasion. If you've gone through a breakup, you could nominate a breakup song that expresses how you felt. Or you could nominate the theme song to your favorite TV show or movie. Maybe there's even a song about someone with your name. Anything that somehow relates to the person who nominated it.
The rules will be very lenient for nominations to allow for people to express themselves. I'm not going to decide what nominations will be eligible. It will all be up to you, as the person who nominates the songs. There won't be any specific "rules" about your nominations, except that you have to think that they somehow relate to you. Just decide for yourself how it relates to you, but if someone asks you about it later, it would probably be helpful if you could tell them why or how it relates to you. The idea is to generate discussion, and hopefully we'll learn more about each other than we probably wanted to know.
It could be something personal that sounds like it could have been written about you, or something as simple as the theme song to the first movie you ever saw, or a line in the song sounds like it describes you. It's all about you, so it's all up to you. You know yourselves better than anyone. Think about yourself. Not just what you look like, but also personality traits, hobbies, favorite movies, TV shows, sports, colors, cars, pets, etc., anything you can think of. You're only limited by whatever you can think of that relates to you.
It doesn't even have to be about now. It could be about something in your past. A lost love, a broken heart, your best day, your worst experience, etc. Anything is eligible as long as it somehow relates to you.
Rules:
All genres are eligible, with no limitations on genre, themes, etc. For this tournament, we'll even allow previous tournament winners and songs that are over 10 minutes long.
Any song is allowed as long as you can provide a link to it. Everyone uses YouTube, but you can also link from DailyMotion and other sites if you prefer, as long as they don't require anyone to sign up for the site to listen to the song.
To be fair to everyone, you must listen to both songs to vote. You must vote from the beginning of the tournament to continue voting throughout the tournament. Unless a tie-breaking vote is requested, anyone who hasn't voted consistently will not be allowed to vote in the final rounds.
If you have any questions, please ask.
