2006 Heat 2: Playoff poll

[piratemoggy.livejournal.com]

Marit Larson and Shakira are through on nine and eleven ticks respectively but there's a five-way tie on seven ticks for the other four places in the year's final. Readers, you decide:

[Poll #1731368]

Edit: Frank has reminded me to point out when the closing time for this poll is. Which is lunchtime tomorrow, 19th April GMT. (when there will be a brand new heat for your ticking pleasure)

Definition of the Imperial Phase

It's nice to be able to think "I really don't remember that Beyonce song but I'm sure it's AMAZING".

It's that one where she goes all 'Rite of Spring' on our asses.

2. The top five in each heat will go through to the next stage. Make sure you rep for your faves in the comments!

Hey, Moggy, which is it? Do the top five go through, as your instructions said for heats 1 and 2 and as was the rule for 2000-2005, or do the top six go through? If it's only the top five, which is what I assume, then the songs in this poll aren't competing for "the other four places in the year's final," they're merely competing for the other three places in this year's final. And Pussycat Dolls/Snoop Dogg with "Buttonz" didn't go through last time (they were sixth place, not fifth) even though you said they did.

Oh, balls. Hmm. We're lower in terms of number of noms for 2006, I think, meaning we've got a short heat which will have fewer ticks so I'll probably let the six through in order to make a decent size vote-off at the end.

The only reason I went for top 5 from 8 heats was to get a top 40 at the end :)

Ah ok, our mechanic is the same then even if my copypasta skills clearly leave something to be desired. I don't have my spreadsheet right now but I know there were barely six heats from this lot so it'll even out. NICE SAVE, NUMERACY. *pitches kids' TV show*

Also, what's the deadline for the playoff?

Oh sorry, tomorrow lunchtime- livejournalling during a teleconference does not always lead to accuracy.

Poptimists in "not indie" shocka currently innit.

Fergalicious was one of my non-chart noms, since it criminally was not released as a single in the UK. Will be glad to see it go through.
