ASFM: Heat One - Live from the BHS Cafe. VOTING CLOSES THURS 28.10 @ 5pm

[Suomi]

I very much hope MOST PEOPLE are voting in ALL HEATS

In a lot of ways this edition is an experiment in seeing how the competition can develop and progress. I can't wait for the full post-show STATS and analysis.

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

The penalty is being judged harshly by your peers. That, and throwing canisters of tear gas through their letterboxes.

That’s not enough.

 

[ButterTart]

That’s not enough.

Fine, I'll play Ed Sheeran mega loud outside their houses until their neighbours form a lynch mob.

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

Better.

 

[Kate]

My fecking internet has gone down and my phone signal isn’t good enough for streaming

 

[Indie]

If i HAPPEN to go out in an early round, my desire for voting will be very much waned.

I suppose i could just random number generator the whole thing.

 

[COB]

VOTED.

 

[Lucille]

Omg I’ll do this tonight

 

[Kate]

Shitbags. Tomorrow morning when Mary Anne Hobbs is on. PROMISE

 

[GinAg (39)]

When is my the next round please?

That’s exactly why you won’t find out any results until all 4 heats are over x

When is my the next round please?

We’re live every Thursday until the grand final which will be on a Sunday

Shitbags. Tomorrow morning when Mary Anne Hobbs is on. PROMISE

It’s weird you say that as I was going to post in the 6 Music thread. I’ve started having BBC Music 6 on in background at work and never heard such a dreary, sleep inducing voice. She should be on at 3am.

 

[Kate]

It’s annoying as she plays great stuff. I just wish she’d stop WIBBLING ON

 

[D5K]

DONE.

 

[Soldi]

I voted LAST THURSDAY

 

[D5K]

I voted LAST THURSDAY

Oh dear, clearly you're not taking the contest seriously enough to let the songs properly sink in.

 

[D5K]

The latecomers are the real heroes here.

 

[Soldi]

Oh dear, clearly you're not taking the contest seriously enough to let the songs properly sink in.

Yes but in the ACTUAL Melfest you vote on the night you first hear the songs

 

[Suomi]

Agree with you both girls - the important thing is you’re having a great time and are ready for more max tracks tomorrow

 

[Suomi]

I’m not saying you’ll get them, but it’s good to be ready

 

[ButterTart]

Yes but in the ACTUAL Melfest you vote on the night you first hear the songs

And that's how you end up with Bishara in the final.

 

[ButterTart]

@Suomi could you send me the updated scoreboard again pls?

 

[Suomi]

@Suomi could you send me the updated scoreboard again pls?

Sure but can you also check your WhatsApp

 

[Raining on Me]

Voted and I really loved my top 4 or 5. Nothing was terrible.

Loving this format now - bite sized ASFM chunks to keep us PERKY until the big reveal (which thankfully keeps those of us BINNED OFF in the first instance in the dark for a while..)

 

[ButterTart]

Sure but can you also check your WhatsApp

can you please stop persecuting me

 

[Suomi]

MORE VOTES GIRLS!

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

Voted!

This was harder than I thought it would be. One song especially sounded much better for each time I’ve listened (3-4 times in total) than on first night.

 

[Soldi]

Come to think of it you could go full blown MF and release a minute clip of each song earlier in the week to appetite the LOONS

 

[Suomi]

Vote closes at 5pm! And then? Well…

This WAS considered but too many big changes at one time could have rocked the boat a bit too much

 

[Lucille]

Glad I’ve given these a week to GESTATE, one in particular has very much REVEALED ITSELF to me just now.

 

[ButterTart]

I've just seen the updated scoreboard...there's a pitched battle afoot and I only wish you could enjoy the drama as much as us.

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

I’m almost sure it’s the same one for me.

 

[ButterTart]

Lads, voting closes at 5pm. NO FANNYING AROUND.

The thread for heat #2 will be opened after that, and the show will start at 7.

 

[COB]

I will be indisposed again tonight, but I'm looking forward to catching up

 

[Suomi]

If votes stay exactly as they are now:

Spoiler

Getting one of tickets directly to the final will need to be resolved by counting the number of 12s
The margin between qualifying for the LAST CHANCE round and not qualifying is 1 point

 

[Iguana]

What % of participating posters have voted so far, to the nearest two decimal places?

 

[ButterTart]

To piggyback on this revelation, EVERY song has received at least one 12.

 

[RJN]

VOTED

This was harder than usual. I think the smaller number of songs gave each song more of an opportunity to grow on me. I ended up liking all of them except for 1

I'm glad to read that because that's we meant before when we said this edition would be all about the music! I think too many great songs have got lost in the shuffle before alas
