Round 1 has come to a close and the votes are in! I have your results right here. For one of you, the wait has definitely been worth it. But before I reveal the results, let's take a look at who submitted each of the songs last round:
Song 1 was John's choice, "With All Your Heart" by Plus One
Song 2 was Dan's choice, "Game Face" by Head First
Song 3 was brosa's choice, "Girls Like That (Don't Go For Guys Like Us)" by Custard
Song 4 was Miguel's choice, "Watch The Sky" by Something Corporate
Song 5 was David J.'s choice, "Time Is On Our Side" by Adam Rickitt
Song 6 was Mike's choice, "Hear Me Calling" by Delta Goodrem
Song 7 was Joel's choice, "Watch Your Mouth (Baby Blue)" by Lina
Song 8 was Ari's choice, "Puerto Vallarta" by Ely Guerra
Song 9 was Drew's choice, "Dream On" by Jasmine
Song 10 was Bry's choice, "Hotel Lobby' by Utada
Song 11 was Jessica's choice, "Playing Your Song" by Hole
Song 12 was Kworb's choice, "What Else Is There?" by Röyksopp
This was somewhat a round of opposites. One song got first place by a large margin, while two songs tied for last place. And now, here are your results:
Coming in first place this round with a score of 41 points is:
David J.
Congratulations go to David as he comes out on top in Round 1. David received two first place rankings as well as four other rankings inside the Top 3. Here are the rest of your results:
2. Mike - 50 points
3. Bry - 59 points
4. Miguel - 63 points
5. Dan - 66 points (tie)
5. Kworb - 66 points (tie)
7. Drew - 67 points
8. John - 73 points (tie)
8. brosa - 73 points (tie)
10. Joel - 74 points
As most of you know, the final two songs - submitted by Ari & Jessica - tied for last place. Rather than eliminate both songs, I asked the other 10 participants to re-vote and tell me which of the two songs they preferred. At that point, the song that got the least number of votes would be eliminated. Well, the final results are in.
Both Ari & Jessica received 80 points in Round 1, but by a vote of 6 to 4, Ari......
You are safe this round.
Jessica, I'm sorry. That means you've been been eliminated from the Song Contest. But you are invited to continue voting in future rounds of Song Contest #4. I hope you'll do so.
Also of note in Round 1: Mike, Bry, & Miguel each received 2 first place rankings. Dan, brosa, Joel, & Jessica received 1 first place ranking.
Congratulations to all of you who advanced! You may now begin sending me your songs for Round 2. Please get them to me as soon as possible. You have until Friday, September 2 at 11:59 PM Eastern Time to PM them to me or you will be penalized 10 points.
