Survival Of The Fittest

Thank you, thank you, I may literally be the fourth choice, but I still find it an honor to be here!

The theme this time around is a familiar one, but a good one nonetheless:


This will be similar to the first time this was a theme, back when the songtests were in single digits. So long as it's a song you're embarrassed for liking, go ahead and throw it in! Are you a die hard metal head that secretly loves a pop song or two? Is there a song you enjoy despite being lyrics completely silly? Or maybe you just think this one song isn't very good but you love it anyway. Whatever the case, here's your chance to let that song shine!

And here are the normal rules, passed down from generation to generation

[+] Rulez with a z because that makes it Radical

- Submit your song via PM or discord, whichever's easier for 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.

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.

Signups will go until Monday, March 29th, 11:59 pm, possibly longer if extenuating circumstances call for it, but let's just say Monday night for now. If the name is in bold, they've yet to submit a song. Good luck to you all!

Okay, because I apparently fit the theme of embarrassment so well, I am going to be extending the deadline for votes due to personal reasons. Round 2 votes will now be due by Wednesday, March 7th, 11:59 pm EST. At that point I will tally all the votes and see who goes on to the next round.

I apologize for the delay, I promise that this will be the last one, and the rest of the Songtest will not have anymore issues.

Votes have been tallied! Here are the ones that failed to put the pleasure in guilty pleasure to this round's voters!
