As stated prior to this thread, VOTING is worth points.  If you vote and did not enter this contest, you will get 3 points towards the overall 5year standings in the Artistry contest.  When you vote as an entrant in this round, you recieve 5 points for voting. . .that means no one who votes ends with no points. . . .

Anyway, the rules are pretty similar to other contests.  This is round 8 so please know that ALL rounds will count EQUALLY toward the final standings, and NO rounds will be omitted from the final total.

Please know I do track Honorable Mentions as well.  Thank You.  They are the final tie breaker if all other tie breakers fail.

1. All participants must comment on all entrants and vote by the deadline, which for this rounds is September 13th,  2007.  Failure to vote will forfeit all points from this round, and if that is less than 20 points, the difference will be forfeited in the following round (No Disqualifications)

2. Voting will take place by replying to this thread

3. If a person withdraws from an Artistry Round prior to the end of a round, all entrants who voted for that person's entry will be permitted to pick one new song to earn a bonus point, all other songs will be realigned accordingly.  There will be no penalty on those who don't change their vote.

4. Once a vote is posted, it cannot be changed UNLESS rule 3 applies OR there was a double-vote by accident.

5. Late entries will be accepted until the 1st vote has been posted.

6. The deadline is a strict deadline, the moment the date has reached the day after the deadline, no votes will count, this is to reduce last minute voting, or sympathy/favoritism towards different entrants.

7. We ask that any entrant who posts a link to his/her original song (source of parody) not be DKTOS for the contest.

8. All other basic competition rules as applied in other competitions are generally followed.  The rules may not be changed or altered unless two/thirds of those voting in a round where a rule change is requested agrees.  Rules may be added by host (Below Average Dave) if it was a rule in the ABC or SOTM contest that was thought to be common knowledge, but not known by a particular entrant.

5pts=Rex
4pts=B.A.D.
3pts=Matthias
2pts=Mikey
1pt=Conqueror
HM=Syncronos

I have to be honest, I didn't expect this round to be so challenging to pick, but there were no easy choices. . .it was a really good round.. .

That said, in the end I did pick my top 5, so here goes.

First, HM to Mikey Squirrel, I loved the Stouffer idea, I do think you may have missed some potential punch lines in there, and you would have likely been in my top 5 had you varied the choruses because ultimately there just wasn't enough to oust any of the other 5. .

5th, The Conqueror of Parodies, 1 Point, Conq, Awesome job, I really wanted to give this more than one point, but there were 4 really good parodies in here, so I do apologize

4th, Agrimorfee, 2 Points, I was certain you'd be in my top 3, but then I got to Syncronos parody, but Terrific idea and spot on pacing.

3rd, Syncronos, 3 Points, the message in your song was as important as comedy, I agreed with every line

2nd, Rex, 4 Points, Fantastic. . .that's the only way to describe this, The imagery was in my head the whole read

1st, Matthias, 5 Points, frankly, I was very impressed that you took on Mean Machine in the first place. . .BUT you nailed the pacing on it too, I could see the fight between a bratty kid and his parents, and you stuck to the style of the original, awesome man!

OK here we go..

5pts: Rex
4pts: Syncronos
3pts: BAD
2pts: Agri
1 pt: Conqueror
HM:  Matthias

Good job to everyone!

I know that feeling. . .that's ok, I know crap happens, it's one of the reasons when I built this comp I decided against punishing for two rounds, but to make sure a minimal amount of damage is done. . .

Companies can be so unreasonable. I asked mine for the rest of my life off with pay and they turned me down. On the bright side, a job like that can provide a lot of parody fodder.

"uhYEAHHHHHH!"

Sorry Sync. :-\\

No worries. I'm happy that there are people who actually come looking for me if I don't check in, rather than wonder 'if he's not here, who's gonna do all the work?!'
