    SongQuest Stages II
    Genres

    Seems that the latest version of SongQuest was quite the winner, with some cool innovations brought by @Keano88 and not a bad place to carry this on with.

    And to make things a bit different and ensure that genres which may have been overlooked or under represented previously get to have their day in the sun, so to speak, in this edition of SongQuest, it will be based around different genres of music.

    So each round there will be a genre of music named, and all song submissions will need to correspond with that. Obviously some artists will cross genres, and that is fine as well, but as in the previous edition of SQ, once an artist has been featured they cannot then be nominated again in subsequent rounds.

    And just so people can get their thinking caps on in advance, here are the 6 genres that will be featured:

    I suppose you can still submit a song in advance for each of the genres before going away, and see how it goes while on holidays regarding voting etc.

    There is a theme for each round Marie. So round one, soul/rhythm n blues.

    You pick a song and send Taz a PM with it, preferably the link to it on YouTube.

    Once everyone has submitted a song, they are posted in another thread. Everyone then ranks the songs in order of preference and PM’s Taz with their votes. He’ll tally them up then reveal the winner, and the lowest scorers are eliminated.

    Then round 2, those remaining in the comp pick another song, based on the next theme, PM’s them to Taz etc etc.

    Great craic, get involved :50:

    Nah, one round at a time.

    The idea was suggested to Drakhan as he is going to be away so might miss following rounds. That’s an exception to the rule mate.
