Rules: listen to as many finished songs as you can manage to in a month then using your own opinion choose one.
The one with the most votes is the winner.
Done.
My song of the month by a million zillion   miles is, Flossie 'Climb a rainbow'.
Flossie ~1
others 0.

In the nicest way, I swear the reason why we had a discussion about 'song on the month' is to discuss people's opinions and ideas. I think the official competition is up and running now and as amazing as Flossie is, it's up to seriousfun.

Are you being the devil's advocate terry?  ;D  gotta love it ;D ... I guess one way to get Flossie's song up for consideration, is for her to repost it  ;D

I don't think so Crystal, I didn't enter negotiations because I didn't think their would be any!
One  calendar  month, your favourite, one vote, winner takes all. done. The forums song of the month.
I could not vote for someone else's  song of the month? No matter how  well respected the person is.

I totally respect your views on this Terry and agree to some degree...everybody on this forum has different tastes in music, so it makes this kind of competition difficult :) personally I think it's too much to ask one person to choose 5 songs and 5 lyrics out of the month, but I think Allan has done a stellar job and it took him hours to do so...this comp is in it's infancy and as Allan has said, 'the rules aren't written in stone'  :)...just my humble opinion on the subject...CS :)

Hi Terry,

i don't understand why you didn't join in the conversation about how we could organize a song of the month competition in the weeks we were talking about it...in the past we always discussed plans for competitions and then reached a sort of conclusion and started the competition

but now you start an alternative one??In my opinion that is not really helpful.

I also want to respond to this because it was me who asked Seriousfun if he could do the work for this one the first time, and he kindly did that work

i don't feel its fair to him at all, and very uneccessary

Come on Terry - you didn't enter negotiations because you didn't think there would be any? That's a pretty lame reason for your stance on this.

As Dutchbeat says, you missed your chance to chip in when this one was being organised. How should you proceed? If it means that much to you, make sure you get involved from the start next month.

Threads like this don't do the forum any favours. And since Seriousfun has taken on the task of organising the comp for this month, it does seem a little contra to his efforts, and the spirit of the forum in general.
