I am a sucker for that Billie Eilish track for some reason, but I just couldn't put her above greats like Bowie and Baby Huey...

I struggled for one second over the same thing then realized I still preferred it to those two particular songs.



It's also her best song, as far as I'm concerned (maybe Ocean Eyes is slightly better), and someone like Bowie has so many good songs Starman wouldn't even rank near the top of them so....Eilish wins.

I am partial to the acoustic version of Copycat, which is just fantastic. I almost picked it for my next round nom, but...maybe round 6?

In the meantime, what about turning the nominations to be private?
We can PM them to you with the links...

This will add a lot to this game + more thrill waiting the Round announcement to see what are the songs...
After the voting process is done, the names of the nominators per song will be revealed.

It's something that I have considered in the past but it's not a route I want to go down - (a) it's a little more work for me and (b) I prefer to have everything completely open and above board in the running of these.

That said, I've always stated that I'm more than happy for others to also run some of these if they wish to do so and obviously then they would be free to adapt the format however they wish.
