Re: London | WV69 Mitch Benn NF

Deadline! 'Tis over and the winner has been sent! Thanks to all ten voters for taking their just under 13 minutes to listen to the songs and vote!

Re: London | WV69 Mitch Benn NF

I'd spent a while on this, so thought it would be fun to share with you all! I've been in WV since WV53 and I've collated all the points I've received (REJU and Regular) to find out the usual "Favourite Country" stats, but this time looking the other way round. Obviously huge thanks to everyone who's enjoyed my entries up to now, but I just want to recognise and thank the people who have been really big supporters over the last 16 editions!

Most Points Given In Semis

[MENTION=12510]esc87fan[/MENTION] 127 My dear Duchess; you are officially my biggest fan
[MENTION=14007]lavieenrose[/MENTION] 104 Not a huge surprise to find you up here dear one; as you have inspired a number of my entries
[MENTION=9441]RainyWoods[/MENTION] 101 Ever-faithful Kai; always supporting my entries and sending me beautiful words of praise
[MENTION=10639]as78[/MENTION] 91 This actually surprised me; I didn't realise how much you enjoyed my entries and I will be appreciating it a lot more in the future!
[MENTION=12553]Krishoes[/MENTION] 71 My dear chum Kris; it seems my entries are a little love-or-hate for you as you seem to either give me lots of points or none

Most Points Given In Finals

[MENTION=12510]esc87fan[/MENTION] 67 Again my Duchess reigns supreme!
[MENTION=13948]fer20[/MENTION] 61 Possibly the biggest surprise of them all. Our icon; our inspiration; our SoBr hero
[MENTION=13024]revallsay[/MENTION] 45 Always cheering me on; the love is evident
[MENTION=8534]theCONWEL[/MENTION] 41 A fellow Freedomer full of support for my entries
[MENTION=12800]Adrian[/MENTION] 41 Well this WAS a shock!! Again, thank you so much for the support; rest assured it is appreciated and henceforth recognised

Average Points Given In Semis (min. 3 votes and I count any time someone voted in my semi either Regular or REJU. If you didn't vote in the semi, it doesn't count towards the average)

[MENTION=11243]ZoboCamel[/MENTION] 8.75 Is it a coincidence that I've qualified a lot since you came along?
[MENTION=12510]esc87fan[/MENTION] 8.47 Is this really a surprise any more Duchess?
[MENTION=13948]fer20[/MENTION] 8 Strong support from someone who appreciates my music a lot more than I gave her credit for
[MENTION=14007]lavieenrose[/MENTION] 8 Thanks honey
[MENTION=9441]RainyWoods[/MENTION] 6.73 Kai seems always to be there cheering me on

Average Points Given In Finals (min. 3 editions)

[MENTION=12510]esc87fan[/MENTION] 6.7 Top in three out of four categories; goodness me you are truly the biggest fan I have here
[MENTION=13948]fer20[/MENTION] 6.1 I am honoured and blessed to have such an iconic juror appreciating my entries as much as you do
[MENTION=14007]lavieenrose[/MENTION] 5 My darling other half who helped me into this madness in the first place and supporting me all the way through
[MENTION=11243]ZoboCamel[/MENTION] 4.5 Given you've only been around for four editions I reckon this would be a lot higher had I sent Destiny this edition I'M SORRY!!
[MENTION=13024]revallsay[/MENTION] 4.5 My cheerleader and a perpetual fountain of good wishes and joy

And of course thanks to everyone else for all the support. I hope you're all ready to support Mitch Benn in WV69!

Re: London | WV69 Mitch Benn "Vaccinate Your Kids"

Mitch Benn "Vaccinate Your Kids"

The winner by some margin! Short and sweet and with a powerful message indeed... Thanks to everyone who voted; t'was fun to see your comments and thoughts!

The results were quite close in truth:

Vaccinate Your Kids 89
Bouncy Bouncy Druids 82
IKEA song 60
Virgin Bills Dead People 57
Yellow Light of Death 51
Break Up Song 38
Obamabama 37

The top two were also my two favourites, so was very glad they stood out for people! Hope you enjoy this little comedic song; it feels SO right to be sending some comedy to WV again: It's been far too long!

 

[Salmon]

Re: London | WV69 Mitch Benn "Vaccinate Your Kids"

All the best songs seem to win in NFs this edition – good luck with this fun tune!

 

[ZoboCamel]

Re: London | WV69 Mitch Benn "Vaccinate Your Kids"

Pretty happy with this choice! My second favourite from a strong NF.

Still... who out there was against the idea of bouncy pagan fun? FIGHT ME

Goodbye, sweet druids.

 

[ShoeFlo]

Re: London | WV69 Mitch Benn "Vaccinate Your Kids"

Yellow Light of Death

Well, I still love you... wait... actually I hate you and I hope you will never appear on my Play Station.. but that song was quite hilaroius!

 

[lavieenrose]

Re: London | WV69 Mitch Benn "Vaccinate Your Kids"

So the best song wins

Am sad at the underwhelming result for the ska-tinged Virgin Bills Dead People - those verses were delicious!

Amazing green room video

I need to see this type of presentation applied to full-on WV hosting. No need to wait, people: help make Mitch Benn win WV69 and we can get more of this for next edition!

Well there's a part 2 in the making; just need some assistance from certain people who have received PMs... (i.e. responses )

Oh my god I love it

 

[Lupus]

Re: London | WV69 Mitch Benn "Vaccinate Your Kids" AND ASK LUPUS EPISODE FIVE NOW UP

Work on Part 2 continues; thanks to everyone so far involved. We're hoping to have a grand reveal on Friday in the comfort of the Freedom Room. Will update once we have more certainty

 

[Lupus]

Re: London | WV69 Mitch Benn "Vaccinate Your Kids" AND ASK LUPUS EPISODE FIVE NOW UP

Thanks to everyone who voted for Mitch Benn. In all honesty, I didn't expect to qualify so this comes as no real shock whatsoever, but what did surprise me was the amazing 81 points across Regular and REJU, so thank you for that many! I did not expect to do that well, so that's a win from my perspective

Some of you have an idea of what I'm planning... All being well I'll have an introduction and an NF reveal on Friday at 19CET so watch this space...

Re: London | WV69 Mitch Benn "Vaccinate Your Kids" AND ASK LUPUS EPISODE FIVE NOW UP

Krisocks (aka the guy who likes coc*s) will be here

Re: London | WV69 Mitch Benn "Vaccinate Your Kids" AND ASK LUPUS EPISODE FIVE NOW UP

Can't say I'll be here for the reveal due to timezone-y stuff, but I'm definitely feeling the hype. Looking forward to it~

I might have to change the time as I kinda forgot that there may be a Final LL around then... We'll see!

 

[Lupus]

Re: London | WV69 Mitch Benn "Vaccinate Your Kids" AND ASK LUPUS EPISODE FIVE NOW UP

On the assumption that there will be a final LL tomorrow evening, I'll be revealing Part 2 of "Ask Lupus" tomorrow evening at 19CET (assuming this doesn't clash) and just putting the NF up here. If there's demand, I'll happily do a LL at some point too

Re: London | WV69 Mitch Benn "Vaccinate Your Kids" AND ASK LUPUS EPISODE FIVE NOW UP

1930 CET https://plug.dj/freedom-room/ LL

Sorry for all the faffing around; just didn't want to clash with the final LL, but seeing as that's not happening today, no need to worry!
