Welcome to another edition of the 2018 M4BCC Song Contest!
This week, it took right up until the deadline for all your votes to come through, but they finally have, and we have a result
Have you given yourself a good lead? Or will you need to make up for it with your Week 4 song? Let's get to it!
Up first, I'll call up Pipa to the stage!
Pipa, this week, you submitted Song 1, which was "Grrrls" by Sydney artist, AViVA!
Now, there are two Aussies in the contest, and I personally hadn't heard of AViVA, so was this a good song choice for you to submit this week? I can now reveal your result, but before I do, you might like to know how many podium positions you scored. AViVA scored you TWO 1st-place, one 2nd-place, and one 3rd-place votes! That sounds like a good start, right?
Pipa, you have scored a total of 26 Points! This ties you for the highest score in this competition yet (with Bryan, who had a 26-score in week one) so well done Pipa!
Now can anyone beat the benchmark set by Pipa this week? Let's move on and find out
Next up, it's Michael! Come on up!
Michael, this week you submitted Song 2, which was "Punks Don't Dance" by Toronto band, Crystalyne!
So far in this year's competition, you have been matching Pipa's scores week after week. Wouldn't it be crazy if you matched scores yet again? Well the chances of that happening are slimming, but let's have a look and see how you did!
I can now reveal that Crystalyne have scored you FOUR 2nd-place, and one 3rd-place votes! Well that's promising that 5 out of 6 possible votes gave you podium positions this week, but how many points did you end up with?
Michael, you have scored a total of.... 26 Points! Yep. Yet again, you have tied with Pipa, and I'm thinking I may have to intervene and separate you two
Okay, we are up to Song #3 and so far, we have had two huge scores in the competition, so how does it look for the rest of us who are yet to hear out scores? Don't be nervous guys, we're about to find out!
Up next, it's Sam! Sam, get on up here.
You submitted Song Number 3 this week, which was "Roxx For Brains" by Brisbane band (yay!), Regurgitator! How did 'the gurge' perform for you this week? Bonus points to anyone who predicted who submitted this song this week also. Could Sam have been trying to trick us, or is it because they have a new album out? Either way, the scores are in and I can now reveal the scores. Regurgitator didn't manage any podiums this week, but they have scored Sam a total of 13 Points!
Song 4 is up next, which was submitted by Bryan! Come on up!
Bryan, so far this year, you have been slaying the competition and showing everybody how this competition is done Have you managed to pull it off for a third week and outscore our revealed scores so far? Let me have a look at the card in my hand and let you know!
I suppose I should say first which song you submitted, but we know it was Song 4, and that was "Already Naked" by Blondie! Now, Blondie must be getting on a bit now, so I'm not sure if I'd want to still see them naked, but as we know, sex sells, but has it sold well? I can now reveal that Blondie have scored you one 2nd-place vote and two 3rd-place votes! They have scored you a total of 21 Points!
We're over half-way now (meet me half-way anyone?)
Just remember, after 4 reveals, only Pipa has scored 1st-place votes from his competitors, and there were two of them! This means there are still FIVE floating out there somewhere. Who do they go to?
Will they go to Song #5? This week the contestant who submitted that song was Jess! Did anyone guess? Come on up here Jess!
Jess, you submitted "Supernatural" by Madonna! How has Madge fared for you this week? Well I can reveal that, yes indeed, some first-place votes have gone Jess' way this week, and Madonna has scored you TWO 1st-place, one 2nd-place and one 3rd-place votes! But can Jess' final score beat our current leaders? Let me have another squizz at my card. Jess, you've scored a total of 25 Points!
Okay, with two reveals to go, a lot of points have already fallen for some very good songs!
We're up to Song Number 6, which was "Smokin' In Bed" by former New Radicals frontman, Gregg Alexander! We only have two contestants left to reveal, so I can now reveal that this track was submitted by none other than Matt! Matt, come on up here/stay there!
Matt, you/I have landed THREE 1st-place votes with this song! Does this mean Matt takes the lead this week? Well I can now reveal to myself that Gregg Alexander has scored me a total of 22 Points! Even though I know all the scores, even if I didn't, this would tell me that the other three voters gave me a total of 4 points, so this was a real mixed bag watching the votes come in
Such is the M4BCC Song Contest!
Up next, it's lucky-last Ari! Ari, come on up here!
Ari, you had the lowest scores in the first two rounds, but managed to survive through to week 3 in the elimination round in a very tight contest with Jess and Sam. Can you do well this week to avoid a repeat of ending up there after Week 4? Well, lets have a look at your scores!
Ari, you submitted Song Number 7, which was "Fingers Crossed" by American singer-songwriter and former Caedmon's Call band-member, Derek Webb!
I can now reveal the final scores told me that you scored TWO third-place votes, and Derek Webb has scored you a total of 14 Points!
And that brings us to the end of Week 3. As this is the first in a tally-round, this is how we ended up this week.
1ST - PIPA - 26 POINTS - 7 TALLY POINTS
1ST - MICHAEL - 26 POINTS - 7 TALLY POINTS
3RD - JESS - 25 POINTS - 5 TALLY POINTS
4TH - MATT - 22 POINTS - 4 TALLY POINTS
5TH - BRYAN - 21 POINTS - 3 TALLY POINTS
6TH - ARI - 14 POINTS - 2 TALLY POINTS
7TH - SAM - 13 POINTS - 1 TALLY POINT
Well done to Pipa and Michael for both placing 1st this week, and making it harder for the rest of us to avoid the Elimination Round BUT, anything can happen as we saw last week, so don't slack off!
As you all were kind and sent me your Week 4 songs on time, I can get straight into Week 4! Remember, whomever ends up with the least points on the tally WILL be going into an Elimination Round... so try and avoid that, k?
