Subject: October/November Rollover POTM Voting Thread

Written By: philbo on 12/10/07 at 8:59 am

Welcome to the Performance of the Month AmIRight contest! Good luck to all contestants. . .this contest is open voting for all SOTM, POTM, and ABC current and past participants wether or not they have entered this contest.  The rules are fairly simple and mostly similar to other contests.  The difference, this contest is played with your ears instead of your eyes!

1. All voting will end promtly at the very end of the month.
2. All contestants currently in the POTM need to comment and vote on all contestants by that time
3. Failure to vote by the deadline will result in forfeit of your points
4. Failure to vote will result in a penalty of 20 points to be applied to the following month's contest (no DQs)
5. Once You've Voted, You can not change your vote UNLESS your vote was invalid
6.  In the event of a tie, procedures mentioned in the entry thread will be followed up to 10th place
7.  You can't vote for your own song
8. You can't vote for another song more than once in the same contest
9. You have 5 votes - 5 points for your first choice down to 1 for your fifth.
10. HAVE FUN
11. See rule 10.

Even though this is being posted a couple of days late, I don't think there's any great need for a voting deadline extension: there's only a few to listen through...

The October/November entries are:

1 Point to Matthias (Not that I don't like it you know I do, but on a comedy scale I have to admit that Vampire's Theme is not my most comedic song)

2 Points to Josh 2 (A great performance by you Josh 2, though lyrically not terribly funny, it was very well polished compared to your older work

3 Points to Red Ant (Even though I love Foul Mouthed Me, to deny that I laughed would be lying, good parody)

4 Points to Phil Alexander (I am in awe at your overall talent)

5 Points to Jeff Reuben (Um, I don't think I need to say much. . .It's not often I'm so inspired that I chime in the way I did on this one--it got my 5 in SOTM last month, POTM won't be any different from me.)

1st - Phil - Awesome, just awesome
2nd - Red Ant - Rude + Funny = Awesome
3rd - Jeff - Strannge voices are always good
4th - BAD - funny, but slightly weak voice
5th - Mathias - As above, I guess this is last cos it wasn't your own recording and I think that wasn't so good in my book, but good all the same

(I thought I posted "That's My Cooking" in place of "Vampire's Theme"... I don't know how I winded up with this one, and that's the reason I'm losing now, because the video for "That's My Cooking" is 100x better than the one for "Vampire's Theme", but oh well....)

5 Points: Jeff Reuben
4 Points: Below Average Dave
3 Points: Phil Alexander
2 Points: Red Ant
1 Point: Josh 2

And the results are...

1st Place with 23 points - Jeff Reuben's No Longer Homely
2nd Place with 21 points - Phil Alexander's Dumbledore
3rd Place with 16 points - Red Ant's Hey There Maria

Only just pipping Below Average Dave's Dance Revolution in 4th with 15
5th - 10 points Josh2v2 with Hey There MacGyver
6th - 5 points Matthias's Vampires

Matthias - I did check that you'd not changed your entry to "That's My Cooking" (and you're right, it's a lot better, IMO).  I keep doing that in SOTM, too: realizing with hindsight that I probably haven't picked the best song to enter.

Anyway, congratulations to Jeff, Red Ant and, er.. me :D
