Hello bruthas and sistah!!
After a two year hiatus, I'd like to personally welcome everybody back to the M4BCC Song Contest! It's a game of awesome music, tactics, trolling and damn outright fun, so I am your host for the evening, Matt, and I am happy to be hosting for the very first time this year, so please be nice. Ari, I can see those rotten tomatoes in your bag and they'd better stay there
I'm up here up on the amazing M4BCC Stage, brought to you this year by our Sponsors, "Confefe" - Remember, "If it's not Confefe, it's not approved by the orange man."
Now before we get started on the first round results, It brings me much excitement to announce our LIVE act for the evening! Please welcome to the stage, Puddle Of Mudd!
Wow! Wasn't that just amazing??? That one is available on their 2001 Album, "Come Clean" (Not to be confused with Hilary Duff's "Coming Clean")
Okay, on with the show How did we all do? Let's find out!
First up, I'd like to invite up the contestants whom submitted the first three songs that were listed in round one.
First up, Matt! If you could just get yourself out of the bedrooms in the 'House Of Randomness' for a few minutes whilst I reveal your results, that would be fabulous. K thanks!
Matt, (you brilliant host) you submitted Song 1, "I Don't Wanna Dance" by Nashville Indie-pop group, COIN. I can reveal that your song was voted the second-favourite once and the third favourite, also once. It scored a total of 25 Points from the other contestants. This currently places you in first place
Next up and joining Matt on stage is our Song 2 entrant, the amazing Jessielou! Come on up here Jess! Jess, you submitted "October" by Cranberries front-woman, Delores O'Roirdan. I mean, who has a more-Irish surname than that? Anyway, I can now reveal that Jess' song was voted the FAVOURITE song of the round by two other contestants! But was it a favourite of everyone else? Well, I can reveal that Jess's song scored a total of 35 Points, currently taking the lead by 10 points and knocking Matt back down to second place! Well done Jess!
I'd now like to call Mike S up to the stage! Come on up and join myself and Jess. Let's see how you went.
Mike S, you submitted the track, "Cannonball" by Baltimore alt-rock group, Diamond Youth. I can reveal that your song scored two second-place votes and one third place vote from the people seated in the crowd and those on stage with you. How many points did you score all up? "Cannonball" scored 30 Points! This currently places you in second place, behind Jess, and pushes Matt back to third. Well done Mike S!
*Round Of Applause*
OK! Who's in the lucky middle? Next, I'd like to invite up Bryan to the stage. Bryan, you submitted Song 4, "We Are Broken" by Franklin rock band, Paramore. I can reveal that your song was voted the favourite by 1 contestant, the second-favourite by another and the third-favourite by two of your competitors! That means half of your competitors placed your song in their Top 3 for the week. Is it enough to get into the top 3 this week? Well, your song scored a total of 32 Points! This gives you a current placing of second, behind Jess and in front of Mike S and Matt. Well done FlyBry!
This means that Matt, you are not in this week's Top 3 and can go join Puddle Of Mudd in the Green Room.
But. You're hosting, you say? Okay, well, I'll forgive you this time, but as soon as the hosting is over, you have to go to the green room and sing karaoke of "She F*cking Hates Me" because that song is what the other contestants thought of your song this week, as only the Top 3 for the week can remain on stage so that they can gloat. And that isn't you. Okay, you/I get the picture. Quit hassling me! I thought you were suppose to be NICE to me. Geesh!
I'm getting confused.
Anyway, where was I? Okay. Four more contestants to go! Who can squirm their way into the Top 3, or rather, who can stay out of the bottom 3?
I'm being handed the cue-card from the official tally room.
Next up, I'd like to call up to the stage, Michael!
Michael, you submitted Song 5, "Shaky Ground" from Los Angele's Indie-pop band, Freedom Fry. Your song was voted as the favourite by one person, and the third-favourite by two others! That's pretty good scoring, so good work Michael!. So how many points did you score? Well, I can tell you that you have scored 24 points for the week, which places behind Matt by 1 point, so you are currently in 5th place and have to join Matt in the green-room.
Up next, I'd like to call Pipa up to the stage. Pipa, you submitted Song 6, "The Falls" by Whitney. Your song was voted the second-favourite by one member, but how many other points did it score? I can reveal that your song scored a total of 25 Points, tying with Matt, so you are both currently in 4th place. Puddle Of Mudd are waiting for you with a nice refreshing drink.
Two to go! Can either of you take down Jess, Bryan or Mike S from the Top 3? Or will you replace Michael, Matt and Pipa, who are currently rocking it out to the 'Stuck' EP in the green-room?
Let's find out!
I'd like to invite Ari up to the stage! Ari, you submitted Song 7, "Falling Back In Fields Of Rape" by British experimental group, Current 93. Now, what a lovely song name. Just so eloquent, beautiful, not-disturbing-whatsoever So how did you go? Well, I can reveal that Ari, you're a clever one, because your song was voted the favourite by two other members, AND the second-favourite by another two members. This means that half of us thought your song was in our Top-2. But, there are four other votes, so where did you end up for the week? Ari, I can reveal that your song scored you a total of 29 Points! This makes you 1-point behind Mike S, but 4-points above Pipa and myself, which currently places you fourth, with one contestant's results to be revealed.
And that is, Sam! Come on up here. Lucky last! Sam, you submitted Song 8, "She Said" by Lavish, who are a group/band I can't even find much info on so I have no idea where they are from, which is great for a Song Contest entry! I can reveal that your song also received two first-place votes in this round, so well done!
I can reveal that your total score for Week 1 is 26 Points! This places you ahead of Pipa, myself and Michael, and into 5th place overall.
So here is how we ended up! As you can see, it was very close toward the bottom of the board, so it's anyone's game.
1st Place - JessieLou - (35 Points) - 8 Tally Points
2nd Place - FreakyFlyBry - (32 Points) - 7 Tally Points
3rd Place - Unkie - (30 Points) - 6 Tally Points
4th Place - @xfer - (29 Points) - 5 Tally Points
5th Place - Sam I Am - (26 Points) - 4 Tally Points
6th Place - Pipa - (25 Points) - 3 Tally Points
6th Place - Matt - (25 Points) - 3 Tally Points
8th Place - mikeespinho (24 Points) - 1 Tally Point
Thanks to everyone for a great first week. We're in for a good year of music it seems
Just a reminder that Week 2 of the contest is now OPEN, so send through your submissions (by 11:59pm, June 19th, 2017). A reminder that only a competition song is required this week.
Pipa, Matt and Michael, make them really good and potentially save yourselves from the bottom 3 next week But everyone else, don't slack off and hold onto your leads! The game is on
Now, to close out Week 1's show, please welcome back to the stage, Puddle Of Mudd!
