Hello everybody, it's the dastardly Cactus, back again to host for your songtest needs!
Well, you've done it again. Thanks to the fact that Xenon 2: MEGABLAST's theme has been in my head for thirty years, I have managed to wrestle hosting duties away, and for the third and final time, I'm winding the clock back. Back before the 90s where most of you were born, before the 80s where I was born... this time around, we're heading back to the time when most of our parents were experimenting with casual drug use and very likely doing things none of us ever want to imagine them doing!
That's right, friends! The theme for this upcoming songtest is:
The 1970s.
- [+] Specific 70s Theme Rules
-
So, a few small rules for the theme itself.
1) The theme can be from any genre, however you'd like to do it is fine - country, pop, rap, electronic, movie themes, video game themes - whatever you want is gravy. Provided...
2) The song must have been released between January 1st, 1970 and December 31st, 1979. Anything before or after - too bad! You're out of luck for this time around.
3) No Eurovision Covers - regular covers are fine though.
4) No reality show/competition covers.
5) Please don't use anything we've used in a prior songtest (Master Songtest Sheet here).
6) If a song doesn't happen to your cup of tea, try not to slag it relentlessly in chat if you can avoid it - these things are all for fun and we all have wildly different tastes, which is why these are so fun!
I'm going to very shamelessly steal Shiola's rules:
- [+] Songtest Rules
-
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. If you're doing a public vote in chat, tag me in Discord with @Dodd so that I can find them.
Public votes will all count as half-votes like we've been doing lately. I like this way so much better than the old system.
The top songs will move on to the final; the number of top songs depends on the number of contestants. Repeat the process for the finals and we get a winner.
The 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.
Each semifinal and the final will last for three days.
If you know at the start of your semifinal that you wont be available to vote for those four days, let me know and I can move you to another semifinal, if we aren't on the final one already.
Signups will run until I see fit or we get around 20-30 people. That's usually a good number. These ones often have a lot of people, so give it a few days and we'll get 'er started.
