Songtest #96: Ham and Cheese

#1

Post by Laurels »

Hello everyone, Mara and Zee have passed hosting duties onto me, so I'll be taking over.

With that said, the theme of the next contest is...

SONGTEST 96:
THE HAM AND CHEESE TEST


Image
For this contest, we want the hammiest and the cheesiest songs you can think of. Is there a song that's a guilty pleasure to you because of a very particular reason? Is the singer trying harder than they need to? Are there dramatic stings? Weird instrumentation? Are the lyrics about a weird subject matter? If it slightly embarrasses you to have this on your playlist, this is the contest for it.

This is a very subjective theme, so there are no restrictions for what you submit beyond the typical rules. Basically, if it's #TooMuch, it's probably good enough for this contest.
[+] The Typical Rules
- Send in your songs via board PM or Discord

- Songs will be divided into 1-3 semifinals, probably 2, if you can't be here for the first semifinal please contact me and I will put your song in the next round!

- Listen to every song in your round and give them votes, 12 for your favourite, 10 for your next favourite, then 8 for the third, 7 for the fourth, and so until you give 1 point to your tenth favourite. Not voting will result in your song getting DQ'd! Rounds last for 3 or more days.

- You can still vote if you're not in a round, as a public vote, which counts for half the points.

- The top songs move onto the finals, with the number depending on the number of songs in a round.

- Repeat the voting process with the finals, and that's how we'll determine the ultimate winner of the tournament arc.

- Submit your songs before the first round starts, not gonna let people jump in after the first round starts, etc.

- Whoever gets the most points will get to host the next contest. If they pass, it goes to second place, then third, and so on.

- General songtest rules:
- Nothing that has been submitted before. If your song is over ten minutes people only have to listen to the first ten minutes.
- Please be nice in chat.

I'll be doing my own votes before the round starts. I'll be giving reminders about every day whenever I remember. Extensions are probably not a thing unless you suffer severe RL stuff, like health issues, or being swamped with work and only getting a chance to listen an hour or so before deadline. Or being taken away into the forest by the fair folk. Any of the above.

I reserve the right to add anything blazingly obvious that I forgot.
I will give three days for sign-ups, giving you all until 9 pm EST on 1/14 to submit. You can submit via the board or through Discord PM.

Let's make some sandwiches!
