Subject: SOTY 2011 Voting Thread (Songs of the Year Revealed)

Written By: Below Average Dave on 03/05/11 at 9:05 pm

Due to the late start, there will be a late deadline. . .

Vote by April 7th

Like last year, please vote for your ten favorite parodies in order 1st to last or last to first, but clearly label you top and bottom choices

All voters will earn ten points towards each song they have entered in the competition

While voting is optional and carries no penalty in the SOTM contest, a person who does not vote cannot earn a podium spot, and if they do point wise will automatically be shifted to the highest non-podium spot.

Due to lack of participation in WildCard, the round was canceled, however the songs entered in that round have been included as an effort of fairness.

Sooo...?

Sorry I long forgot about this, I'll try to post it later tonight after finishing my essay, if not tomorrow after work--I have had no free time lately with my birthday coming up and the new album (on the same day) I'm being asked to do a lot of different things. . .not to mention insane amounts of college homework . . .I am slowly being forced to withdraw more and more from all things social.

Nice! Second place! I'll accept that seeing that it's impossible to beat Jeff Reuben.

Wow.  Thanks to everyone who voted and congrats to Matty, Dave, and Abbott for their high finishes.  Despite being "impossible to beat" this is the first time I've finished higher than 3rd in SOTY and I'm thrilled that it happened with Fondled By The TSA, one of my favorites to perform (especially at MarsCon back in March!).  I've always looked at the songs that make it to SOTY as the best of the best on the site, so it's a great achievement for all of the authors who make it.

Thanks Dave for all of your work running the contest (and other contests, and your work on the boards).  I hope to keep up the good work.  And I'll still be writing and entering.  Really  ;)

Congrats to Jeff, Matt and Dave for the medals!
Thanks to everyone who voted for my four ditties.
Too bad you have such varied taste, all four of my songs got points, I would have given Jeff a run for his glory if you all had preferred the same one. ;-)
