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 5 year standings in the Artistry contest.  When you vote as an entrant in this round, you receive 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 51 so please know that ALL rounds will count EQUALLY toward the final standings, and NO rounds will be omitted from the final total.

1. All participants must comment on all entrants and vote by the deadline, which for this rounds is July 1st, 2009.  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.

Thanks Buggy!!!

1 Point to The Conqueror of Parody (The last verse kinda did this one in, but great idea, and well paced--keep on it your getting good)

2 Points to Agrimorfee (This was a good parody, I didn't get the big laughs out of it, but I could relate)

3 Points to Matthias (Despite the snooze of an OS, your parody was very well executed, even if I have seen it three times in half a year)

4 Points to Rex (Awesome all around, and about a subject that's easy to be boring with)

5 Points to Red Ant (Toilet Humor be damned, you put new meaning behind it, still want to see this title to Eminem's "Cleanin' Out My Closet")

1 point to conqueror
2 points to Aggy
3 points to Matthias

my top two picks are tied (flawlessly done, very funny), bu since I can't award 4.5 points to each of them, I went by which one I thought would make a better recording. Both songs are so fast that the recording aspect didn't come into play (both would be nuts to do), so I went by "wow" factor. Rex gets the edge there, because his is the first political parody I've read in a while that made me really LOL.

4 points to BAD
5 points to Rex

Great job everyone on this round.

Big Congrats to Ant and Ants. . .I mean Red Ant and Matthias. . .and also to Rex for a strong 4th

Tied for 2nd with Below Average Dave! Nice! (And you said that "Civil War" was much too depressing of an original song to score any points Dave...  8-P)

Congrats to Red Ant's Disgusting... Yet Actually Really Funny.... Poop Parody
And to Below Average Dave's Mockery Parody (This round seemed to have Red Ant spelled all over it seeing that the podium winners of this round can all somewhat relate to him)

You are quoting me out of context, those were not my words at all Matty, I said I don't like the original song at all--I did not say it wouldn't score points. . .I also said I personally have seen it twice before (opening day and in Ages) and you know my opinion of it. . .that's pretty much all I said on it.
