Songtest #80: Duels and Duets
Welcome to the 80th SotF songtest! This theme, 'Duels and Duets', refers to the concept that it takes two to tango. Or samba. Or... whatever, honestly. We're looking for songs that are a struggle of some sort within the music, some back-and-forth. There don't have to be dueling instrumentals or a rap battle or anything like that (though those things are awesome and do help); so long as the song has some conflict (resolved or otherwise) between two artists, or one artist representing multiple characters/instrumentation, I'll count it.
Let's take it away!
- [+] rule
- - Submit your song via board PM or discord pm, whichever's easier for you (Do NOT post them publicly in chat without also sending them to me in a PM; I may not see it and will not count your points or even DQ you).
- Songs will be randomly divided into 2 or 3 semifinals depending on turnout. if you're going to be away at some point in the next couple of weeks, let me know and I can try to put your song in a round when you'll be here.
- Listen to every song and give points to your top 10 favorites: 12 to your favorite, 10 to your second, 8 to your third, 7 to your fourth, and so on down to 1 point for your tenth favorite.
- If your song is in a given round, you must vote that round or you'll be eliminated. if your song isn't in that round (or you aren't in the contest at all), your vote will be counted as a public vote, which counts for half points.
- The top [x] songs will move on to the final. that number depends on the number of contestants.
- Repeat the process for the finals and we get a winner.
- Winner gets to hold the next contest, or they can pass the job along to 2nd place if they don't want to. 2nd place can pass down to third, etc, until someone wants to host.
- By participating in this songtest you hereby pledge total fealty to the Granite Empire, unless you post in this topic stating 'Moxie is the best soda'.
General song rules:
- No eurovision songs
- No reality show/competition covers
- No songs already submitted in a songtest
- There is no penalty for length in this contest. however, if a song goes over 7 minutes, listeners aren't obligated to listen to more than the first 7 minutes of the song. so choose a long song at your own risk!
Each semifinal and the final will last for three days. some rules about activity/extensions:
- If you know at the start of your semifinal that you wont be available to vote for those three days, let me know asap and I can move you to another semi, if we aren't on the final one already.
- I'll be posting every 24 hours in this topic as a reminder, as well as pinging everyone who hasn't voted on discord 24 hours before the round ends.
- Extensions will only be granted in extenuating circumstances. forgetting to vote until an hour before deadline is not an extenuating circumstance.
