    If Cher had been up against ANY of the others in the QF with those songs i would have given her 4 points maybe 5 points but unfortunately she came up against AC/DC and had no chance as they are one of my favourite bands of the rock scene of all time.

    Understandable mate, I'd have scored AC/DC high too. Belter of a track

    If it had been one of her songs from the 60s i would definitely have made it closer between them.
    To me she, in the 1960s, looked like one * of a sexy woman.

    Unfortunate, @packybhoy some top tunes on the album that song is lifted from - must've listened to Tango in the Night hundreds of times. :50:

    To the shock of absolutely noone, @Scotia as Rhod & @Marie as U2. Took Prince & Springsteen signature songs, among the biggest in either's back catalogue to knock RS & U2 out, which says it all really. :50:

    And sorry was so harsh in my Walking in Memphis write up, @Marty McFly :56:

    Looking forward to these 2 SF matchups. Think we are all in for some great music. Good luck everyone!

    You are forgiven :56: thought I was playing to the crowd and made a total * of it.

    Difficult. If I were repping Dylan, my approach would probably have been to go all out, not hold anything back for later in the comp, because he is unique - ie, for the most part it's not about how he sings & performs, and in BotB format, this is both a blessing and a curse.

    Good evening to you all. Good morning to those who see this when they wake. Our semi finalists have made their submissions, their fate is in the hands of the jury.

    Songs have been posted and it's two songs from each artist. You don't need to score the songs individually for your votes, I just want an overall score for the artist based on their Longevity songs chosen. Again, 5 points to distribute between the two, do so as you please...

    5-0
    4-1
    3-2

    https://www.talkceltic.net/forums/threads/botb-longevity-edition-song-thread.153194/

    It's five posts above your post my good man :50:

    Same as last round, 5 points to dish out. Just overall for the artist. You don't need to score the songs individually, unless you want to then take an average...

    Just four sets of votes remain in these closely contested semi final match ups.

    Who will be celebrating a place in the final?

    [​IMG]

    And who will lament their valiant defeat?
