The Digital Spy Song Contest
Hello everybody and welcome to the Digital Spy Song Contest!
Following in the success of some of the games across Digital Spy (in the Eurovision & X Factor forums), I thought it'd be really cool to get a song contest running. Think Eurovision, but without the countries. So the premise of the game is quite simple: - You will enter one song through private message to me (Carlisle156) - After a few days of submission time, all songs will be posted in a song list on this thread. - All participants must then send a vote by the time the round ends (for the first one, we'll use a week of voting and see how it goes from there) - Voting will be Eurovision Style - ranking your top 10 songs, awarding 12, 10, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1 points respectively. - After voting, results will be revealed and we'll have our winner! - The winner of the round will then be given the opportunity to host the next round. Now, there are rules and requirements that you must abide by with your song choices: - An entry MUST be no more than a year old, whether this be single released or an album track on an album released no more than a year ago. - The song must not have already been used. - The song must not exceed 5 minutes in length. - Songs without lyrics are banned from the contest. - Covers are also banned, only original songs. Other Rules: - You must not tell anybody which song is yours as the contest is to be held anonymously, anybody found to be telling people their song choice will be punished. ![]() - Songlist reviews are encouraged, but don't let them get out of hand and be too offensive? It's okay not to like a song, but you don't need to absolutely slate it either. - Failure to vote will result in a 12 point penalty to your song. So the songs you send can be from any country in the world, in any language, and have either appeared in the charts or be an indie, inspired gem. Any questions - feel free to ask, either on thread or through private message. You have until 7pm Monday 28th April to send in your song choices to ME by private message. |

Digital Spy Song Contest #1
Hello and welcome to the first ever Digital Spy Song Contest. Totally ecstatic by the response that it's had as launching a game, especially when it has to be on an invisible forum populated by an excess of song name games. A grand total of 19 songs, and here they are:
The Songlist The Correspondents - Fear & Delight http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABS-mlep5rY Bebe Black - Never Forget http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTmM1yMf2Po Little Mix - Stand Down http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHtaeQoWZWY Tove Lo - Habits (Stay High) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oh2LWWORoiM James Vincent McMorrow - Cavalier http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0DvjgagJko Bleachers - I Wanna Get Better http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A81Z6hGjGJQ LIZ - Stop Me Cold http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yp2C-FUQInU Kat DeLuna - Stars http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97y0OSBwmy8 Pia Mia - Red Love http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bluTzfjS_3w Rixton - Me and My Broken Heart http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JJfJgyHYwU Jessica Mauboy - To The End of the Earth http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lqbbEm460Q Frankmusik - Dear Nicole http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-HNlcnVg7Y Whinnie Williams - Break Hearts In Your Sleep http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WjUoQ05nyY (song starts at 1:10) BANKS - Brain http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NL9T42SVnN0 Robyn & Royskopp - Do It Again http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIG7PVa8SS8 Paloma Faith - Only Love Can Hurt Like This http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdkBgaIntfs The Pretty Reckless - Heaven Knows http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHBxJCq99jA Canterbury - Think It Over http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ydxoo1dWm8E Storyman - Coming Home http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPikKePxsww PLAYLIST So there we have it, the 19 selected songs that are competing to become the first ever victor of the Digital Spy Song Contest! To vote, please listen to the songs & then rank your favourite 10 Eurovision style, awarding points in order, with the greater points going to those you liked most (12, 10, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1). Send me these votes in a private message to me (Carlisle156). The deadline for voting is 7pm Friday 2nd May with results from 9pm. Reviews in the meantime are encouraged to keep the thread alive to some extent, although it is super hard to stay in the first 5 pages if you haven't got a post within the past hour. Good luck everybody! |

What I thought, usual caveat no offence meant to anyone whose song I don't like:
Champions League Frankmusik Whinnie Williams Paloma Faith Storyman Premier League The Correspondents Bleachers Banks Robyn & Royskop Canterbury League 1 Bebe Black Tove Lo James Vincent McMorrow Pia Mia Jessica Mauboy The Pretty Reckless GM Vauxhall Conference Little Mix Liz Kat de Luna Rixton A good mix of styles, admittedly some of which appeal more to me than others. But, as anyone who does DSFE knows the only things less successful than my songs are my predictions

I always find it interesting how I normally have a completely different music taste to the people who post there likes and dislikes etc (same with the DSFE). Obviously there is some overlap but on the whole pretty much the other way around.

![]() And tbh, if whoever used Jessica had sent in Pop A Bottle, she'd have gotten points from me. That's my jam. |
