Welcome to the grand finale of the 2018 Song Contest!
Hasn't it been fun?
Over the past 5 months, we started out with 7 contestants, and have now dwindled it down to just 2! And those two are Sam and Matt, neither of whom have made it this far in the competition before, so that's exciting! But, there can be only one winner, so let's get to it and find out who it is!
But first, we have our special performance act for the evening, and it can only be fitting that this band performs for us tonight Live and also live via hologram (for a few of the members), please welcome to the stage, The Bee Gees!
Wasn't that just amazing??
Well, someone has to win this! Let's get to it.
First up, I'll ask Matt to the stage. Now Matt, you've never made it this far in the contest before, and some could say that you have rigged it entirely because you're also hosting the contest! Blasphemy! Yep, it's easy to just eliminate contestants willy-nilly when you're hosting, but where would be the fun in that? Matt has played impartially by always voting honestly and first, before any other votes came through so as not to sway votes and which way, so imagine Matt's surprise when he made it through the first round and kept going right up until now! Matt has appeared in two of the elimination rounds to make it through to the final! So congrats Matt! *pats self on back*
OK! Now that I've finished talking myself up, it's time to reveal that Matt submitted Song 1, which was "Kyle's Mum Is A Bitch" by Cartman from South Park! Did anyone guess this one?
I can now reveal that Song 1 has scored one first-place vote, and has scored a total of 16 Points! A nice start to the final, Matt
Up next, just to mix it up, it's Sam! Come on up here
Sam, you've also made it through to the grand finale, and have knocked out 5 other contestants to get here. You've appeared in three elimination rounds to make it through to the final! So congrats to you too Sam! *pats Sam on back* - with consent of course, we don't need another "Me-Too" movement happening in the grand final on M4BCC of all places
Anyway, Sam has submitted Song 2, which was "Dammit, I Changed Again" by The Offspring! Who guessed that?
I can now reveal that Song 2 has scored Sam a total of 15 Points! A nice start for you also, and it's close so far
Who will it be? After two song reveals, it's Matt with 16 points and Sam with 15 points. With four reveals to go!
Up next, it's someone who's already been on the stage today, it's Matt! What a surprise. What are you doing here?
Okay, from now on, it's probs better to just stay up on the stage rather than running back and forth, you know, between hosting and running and running back, this shit is exhausting! Just stay here, Matt. Okay, good.
Matt, you submitted Song 3 in the final, which was "Love Actually" by Cady Groves! Now Matt submitted this as his charting song, but imagine Matt's surprise when he found out it never actually charted anywhere! Well, besides his own personal chart that is. Either way, it didn't matter and only the votes of the other contestants did matter, so let's see what they thought.
I can now reveal that Song 3 has scored one first-place vote and has scored Matt a total of 17 Points! That's the highest yet, so well done Matt! Matt pulls ahead of Sam some more, but will Sam do a Mariah or an Avril and make a comeback?
Up next, it's Sam! Funny that because it wouldn't make much sense to reveal all of Matt's scores at once, but I guess I could. I can sense the excitement in the air over whom is going to take out the contest this year, as both of these contestants really want it for the first time!
Anyway, Sam, you also submitted Song 4, which was "Skinny Dipping" by Stand Atlantic!
Song 4 has scored Sam a total of 12 Points!
Ooooo, this makes things very interesting! After two reveals each, the scores are as such - Matt has 16 and 17 points, and Sam has 15 and 12 points. You do that math
But, now we are up to Song 5, and I know you are all on the edge of your seat to find out who submitted this classic track. I mean, look, the band themselves even appeared here in the song contest to perform it live for us! And trust me, it's not easy to peel a few of the members from their graves to come back and perform for us all, so you should be thanking me
Song 5, as you all know, was "You Win Again" by The Bee Gees. But who submitted it? Was it the guy who always goes on about it and posts a link to it in every thread OR, was it the guy who LIVES RIGHT NEAR WHERE THEY GREW UP? Actually, I don't know where Sam lives, so that could technically be either of us for all I know
But, if you guessed Sam as the submitter of Song 5, then you would be correct! I can also reveal that it has had THREE first-place votes! That is huge and could make things very interesting. Song 5 has scored Sam a total of 27 Points! This is Sam's highest score.
Sam needed a come-back and I think he has found it.
With one vote to go, it's time to reveal Matt's final score, so can Matt do it? Matt has submitted Song 6, which was "Lonely (Are You Coming Home)" by Suzie McNeil.
Without further-a-do, Song 6 ha scored Matt a total of 18 points! Which is also the highest scoring song from Matt's submissions.
So, now we do some maths and add up the scores!
Sam has scored 15 + 12 + 27 = 54 Points
Matt has scored 16 + 17 + 18 = 51 Points
The WINNER of the 2018 Song Contest is Sam! Congratulations!!!
Thank-you to everybody for sending their votes through and for participating in the contest this year. Without you guys, there would be no contest.
Big Congrats to Sam and to everybody for playing! Until next year, cya!
