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 68 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 March 12th, 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.

Karamel with some nuts by my pet squirrel (if you aren't allergic) !

This round kinda felt like. . .judging apples, oranges, and pizza. . .the songs over No Doubt/Gwen Stefani's career have changed so much it was almost like listening to different artists.  Also the parodies were SOOOO different from each other. . .with one being serious, one being a pseudo tribute to a super hero, one being about an animal, one being about tools, and a sport parody by a guy who rarely covers sports, oh yeah and gargantuan man boobs.  .  .oh wait that's me. . .

1 Point to Abbott Skelding (Seriously, love serious parodies, this one however didn't seem to be as tightly crafted as the others I've read by you buddy, I hope you stick around in Artistry though, I've seen what you can do, and with 70+ rounds left, there's plenty of time to make up for lost time)

2 Points to The Conqueror of Parodies (It didn't go as far as I would have liked it, but that's at least partially the original song, loved the title switch, and I always like when you take on a topic I don't see from you often)

3 Points to Agrimorfee (This one's only drawback was pacing, other than that, Agri, this one was fun as heck)

4 Points to Matthias (I guess I'm the only big spidey fan here, loved the references, loved the idea of bringing a bandage as if that will help the type of wounds this battle would leave, and your grammar was showing the veteran writer you've become)

5 Points to Rex (Something about inanimate objects is never an easy topic, but somehow you blew this one, to a very restricted OS, out the water--awesome parody)
