Round 3 is always brutal. 14 artists have proven themselves twice over, and only 4 can go on to the final round. The judges had the impossible task of ranking these songs against each other, for which there are no objective criteria.
As evidence of how close these songs were in quality, there were three different songs that were ranked first by one judge, and last by another - and in no cases were those pairs of judges the same. In other words, it's a tight race.
But a few artists did rise to the top. With strong rankings from all five judges, including two first place rankings, the Round 3 winner is Also in Blue.
Close behind was Sober, a mere two points away from achieving the hat-trick. Rounding out the final four are Cavedwellers and See-Man-Ski.
Despite offering up great songs, the following artists have been eliminated. On the chance that one of the final four does not meet the submission deadline, all are eligible for shadow reinstatement:
- Good Guy Sôjàbé
- Vom Vorton
- Ominous Ride
- EmKayDeeBee
- Jealous Brother
- Jon Porobil
- rackwagon
- David G Harrington
- The Dutch Widows
- Hot Pink Halo
Below are the full rankings:
Very fair judging, some of the other songs were awesome and very clever and I am very proud to have been in their company.
ReplyDeleteMassive effort by all judges so thank you for that and good luck finalists.
