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 15th, 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 b
e 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.

I've always been taught to hold out the vowels when singing them.  Maybe he's singing the title.

What song does that go to?

1 Point to Medemia (Welcome to the competition, tough first round to be in I know ;) )

2 Points to Matthias (Overall this was good, love the title switch--internal rhyming was a bit iffy, but good)

3 Points to TCOP (Pretty much the same as Matty, internal rhyming was missed, but the sheer difficulty and comedy on this one was great)

4 Points to Rex (Overall this was awesome, and to a song that, by Beastie Boys standards, gave you very little to work with)

5 Points to Agrimorfee (The title switch here combined with the amazing job on the internal rhyme scheme put this over the top for me)

Hey, the way I see it, I'm firmly entrenched in 6th place!  Yay me!  What?  There's only 6 places?

I plan on hanging out for a while.  This is fun.
