The Bluemoon Song Cup 2023

[BlueHammer85]

53 votes for Bowie… 53! Huge. Highest scoring ever by a margin.

I was going to go for the high pitched wailing drama queen, but then I realised that didn't rule either of them out.

You do realise that you can’t vote for yourself? ;-)

It was a vote against Morrissey rather than for Bowie.
If Agadoo or There's no one quite like Grandma had gone up against Morrissey they would have got 53 votes.....

It's Kate, not Siouxsie ;)

banshee (/ˈbænʃiː/ BAN-shee; Modern Irish bean sí, from Old Irish: ben síde [bʲen ˈʃiːðʲe], "woman of the fairy mound" or "fairy woman") is a female spirit in Irish folklore who heralds the death of a family member, usually by screaming, wailing, shrieking, or keening.

Sums up Ms Bush’s “singing” perfectly.

I think you were you’re own worst enemy with that ‘money for votes’ thread, it led to even more people voting for Bowie who wouldn’t have ventured into the thread!

Anyhoo… do you still have a home?

I was fully aware it would attract more anti votes - to be honest it was part of the the wind up and was expected! It highlighted the polarisation the great man has over the general public.
It did however, double the number he had originally gained so not being the lowest ever score which is what i wanted to prevent. And my offer to pay out only upon victory was a safe bet as anyone can ever offer ha ha

And yes thanks - the home is still standing proudly!

I’m not the biggest GNR fan — that fucking song “One In A Million” is offensive beyond belief — but this one of those that were this the US, they’d win in a walk. But this is the UK and Ms. Bush is the queen. I always liked Sweet Child because the riff is good albeit way overplayed here and I never cottoned to WH too much. It’s a reluctant vote for Axl and his band of drunken drug-addled poseurs. Thankfully they’ll go down to defeat.

 

[blue for life]

KB as always!

This is pretty much my thoughts.

As an aside, my mates claim to fame is he shagged KB at a party, before she became famous.
