So I just realized that I started last year's contest in mid-May last year, but as I've been away, I forgot. That means that it's time for the friendly rivalry game we all look forward to! Register your interest below! Anyone can play! Also, if anyone really wants to host, put your hand up - I don't think I was that good last year, since I stuffed up that time Registration deadline will be July 8th, 2018 at 23:59 - Edit: Registrations are now closed.2018 ParticipantsMatt FreakyFlyBry @xfer JessieLou Pipa mikeespinho Sam I Am

It seems every year there's a minor (or major) change or changes to the mechanics of the game. Will there be some adjustments this edition? For instance, anything that would allow me to stay beyond the first round? lol Anyway, I will play!!

There were only changes last year cos * cough* some people * cough* complained, and I tried to make it as FAIR as possible by incorporating everyone's ideas because the result of the poll was a tie. There also weren't many contestants last year, so by doing it that way, we had 12 rounds instead of 6, plus it gave everyone a second chance! If you bring your 'A'-game each round, then you've got nothing to worry about If you want to host, you can determine the rules. No handicaps for submitting Current 93 or Perfume Genius tracks

I wasn't complaining, though. I am excited to see if something new will happen. I liked the format last year, so if it stays the same, I won't mind. AND, I always bring my A game, but seems people assume I'm just submitting awful songs to be interesting. I admit, I try to choose music I think you don't know, with styles that are not so commonplace, but it never works Anyway, sorry for so much bitching. I hosted the first edition of this, and I have no interest of doing it again lol Plus, you all are so much more witty than me, cause I would say "And these are the results. Sumbit your next song please" And that isn't fun lol

Sumbit your next song please" And that isn't fun lol I'm sure you already know all of this, but because this is a game, you kind of need to be clever also... because the long-term members here know each other's musical styles pretty well by now, so you can't be too predictable in your song choices. I mean, well, you can, but people will figure out it's you who submitted it I know doesn't really matter in the end because it's about the song you like best, but it makes it more interesting than when someone submits a Kylie track and people are immediately like, "Well, obviously Matt submitted that one!" or if I submitted a Morning Musume or Kate Voegele track, I could potentially make other players think that my submission was yours, or Bryan's, you know? People tend to try out that tactic later in the game. Or you could submit a 'troll-track' and everyone ends up liking it! Unless you're Jess in last year's comp where it back-fired Some of your favourite styles of music are genres that others playing might find obscure, and I LOVE that about you, and then you surprise me by also enjoying country music. Remember that Michael is our defending champion, and look at the wide variety of music he's into, just like you A more obscure-sounding track might be more likely to score higher with maybe him, or maybe me, you just never know! I like that we have such a variety of musical styles we're all into on here, but anyway, all I'm saying is still choose music you really like that you think your competitors might like also. After all, they are the ones giving you points! Ever noticed that rock-ier sounding tracks generally tend to score quite well in the rounds? Well, that's because you gotta look at who's competing But hey, I once won an early round with a Delta track, so you never know! Anyway, best of luck Ari! Glad to have you on board again. Sorry for rambling on. Haha! I thought I was boring as hell hosting last year too. Some weeks I was like, "Such-and-such won, blah-blah is safe, the other's are bottom 3, kthanksbye!" I'm happy to host again, I just think there are funnier people here

Well said Matt! Another thing I wanna mention @xfer is that you always say "please don't submit Mariah or Christina or Britney because those will get first place", but most of the time when those artists are submitted they actually don't do well. I recall Dan getting eliminated for a Lady Gaga song and Mariah almost put me in the bottom three a few years ago. Hell, the very first Song Contest we did, I got eliminated for an Avril Lavigne song - and that was back when she didn't suck!
