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 66 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 February 8th, 2010.  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.

For an artist I was really unsure about before, this pulled out one heck of a round. . .all five of you had some very redeeming qualities, and gave me a great end to a hectic and painful week. . .

1 Point to Matthias (Great Title sub, awesome first verse, too bad the song limited you so much)

2 Points to Rex (Fantastic job at capturing a serious moment to a song that really fits it, short to be sure, but still enough to make your point)

3 Points to Agrimorfee (It actually pains me to give this 3 as opposed to 4 or 5 points, the top three here were fantastic in my opinion, great job on a classic Enya song)

4 Points to The Conqueror of Parodies (You really did conquer this difficult OS dude, keep writing works like this, and you may have to promote your name from conqueror of parodies to slayer of songs that deserve it)

5 Points to Red Ant (Yeah, see my description on the comment section for this song.  I've never laughed so hard at utter nonsense before in my life.  The thing that put this over the top for me was that it actually seemed to be the original lyrics, unlike most misheard lyrics, I could actually see these lyrics being mistaken as the original, and they made sense, but most importantly, they were friggin hilarious.  Among the best of the Red Ant collection, and considering who this is we are speaking of, that is no small statement)

I hated Enya and it shows seeing that this is the fewest points that I ever got in an Artistry round before.... Oh well, Perhaps Rob Zombie will be better to me.

CONGRATS to TCOP and Red Ant, and thank you for my podium, in a surprisingly good round for an artist that was quite the challenge, Rob Zombie of course has been delayed until Wednesday for start, I will post the next artist later today, as I am way to tired to stay up and give the next artist their fair attention tonight. . .

Good job all except for me, I bombed this round...

Where's the new Artistry thread?

Hooray for me! Two wins out of sixty-six...not bad. And congrats to Red Ant and BAD, of course :D
