Hello everyone, and welcome. Since 2011, DS's Next Top Artist has seen fantastic songs from all kinds of different acts, from indie, to pop, to mainstream, to R&B, to dance, to soul. This edition of the game will reunite all 190 acts from all six series, to compete against each other head to the head for the illustrious title of DS's Next Top Artist All Star!
Here's how the game works:
1. We'll be welcoming back a number of previous mentors, who will be mentoring their previous acts once again. The whole game will take place in this thread.
2. The first round will consist of heats of three or four. We will lose a total of 62 acts, leaving us with 128 for round 2, 64 for round 3, 32 for round 4, 16 for round 5, 8 for the quarter finals, 4 for the semis, and then 2 for the exciting final.
3. All acts will need a maximum of eight songs (if they're lucky enough to get to the final 2), and there are no themes so you can start using your best songs straight away!
4. Some mentors are no longer on DS, or have decided not to take part, or have decided to only mentor some but not all of their acts. Rather than kick the unwanted acts to the curb, everyone who IS playing has a chance to proxy mentor them! More on that in the next post.
5. For round 1, heats will take place over two days, three at a time. This may alter in later rounds.
6. Finally, I thought it would be a nice change if as many people as possible host rounds. If you would like to host some heats, just let me know and I'll put your name down. This would just consist of initiating three heats, receiving the votes, and then announcing the results, but you can apply to host multiple times if you like.

To make things fairer, everyone taking part can only have a maximum of 10 acts. Therefore, if you played every series so far, you will have 8 acts already, and will be eligible only for a maximum of two more. If you've only played one series, you COULD get eight or nine of the acts below!
You may request up to 10 of the acts below by PMing me and ranking them 1 - 10, 1 being the act you want the most. This is just so any conflicts of interest will be sorted out, and I will endeavour to make sure that as many people as possible have proxy acts, and will try and give everyone either their first or second choice for definite. Even if you've never taken part in NTA before, you can request proxy acts!

If you haven't already sent your proxy requests, please do so by no later that Wednesday 24th July at 6pm. We will then begin the first heats of round 1!
Errr...what?
I did send you a message saying that I'm participating didn't I? Please tell me I did.
"Baby I" is my favorite song at the moment. You HAVE to use it!
I didn't get one from you But that's okay! Nothing official has happened yet, so you can definitely play
Oops, a bit of a flop from me there then...
Anyway, you know my three definitive acts and should also have my preferences regarding proxy acts.
Pity you won't be mentoring Queen
Let us shed a tear for the following 10 acts who have not been claimed so far If you'd like any of them, just PM me.
Example
Frankie Rose
Bluejuice
Cat Power
Ruby Goe
Dinner & A Suit
The Raveonettes
Karima Francis
The Strange Familiar
They got third! :eek:
Bad day for Bazz's acts!
omg. :mad:
I actually totes forgot about them , I think theyve been taken now!
Aaliyah?
.......maybe.
Well, it doesn't really come as a shock haha.
So, here they (almost) all are, with proxies in bold. If you have no acts in bold, that means you didn't request any proxies. What are you like?

The keen eyed among you will notice that there are still some acts missing. Unfortunately, seven acts are still unclaimed
If you have less than 10 acts and would like to proxy any of the acts below, just PM me. If no one claims them, then it will be up to whoever is hosting their heat to pick a random song:
AC/DC
Example
Frankie Rose
Ruby Goe
Dinner & A Suit
Karima Francis
The Strange Familiar
Speaking of hosting, you can also PM me if you want to host any heats!
What Happens Next?
Everyone should now concentrate on picking songs for their acts for Round 1 only! Once you've chosen your songs, please PM them to me in one PM. I'll then pass them on to the various hosts. As I'm hosting first, once I get enough songs for heats' worth, I shall open the game!
So please get your Round 1 songs to me asap Don't forget that you only need eight songs maximum for the entire game, so you can start off using your acts' best songs!
