(This is now a discussion thread, as all voting will now take place in poll threads.)
Since tis the season, and this music is now being heard everywhere (at least in most countries around the world), I thought I'd run a special song tournament to determine FAN's most favorite Christmas and/or Holiday song of them all!
Rules:
- Any song that's 'festive' for this time of year is eligible: Any Christmas song, any Hanukkah song, any Kwanzaa song, any non-specific Holidays song, even songs that you might hear in the same holiday playlist that may mention snow (I can think of one I might nominate) is eligible. - For the nomination period, each person here can nominate up to 8 songs per day. They'll all get in with 1 nomination vote, and there's no limit to how many songs can get in. Just want to make sure all the songs that FAN wants in get in, and then they'll fight it out in the tournament. - I'll allow multiple versions of a holiday song to get in, as long as a second version of holiday song is different enough to merit its own spot in the tournament. - I want the total number of songs to be a nice even one for the sake of an even tournament structure (16, 32, 48, 64, 96, something like that.) - In this thread will be all the voting. I'll randomize the list of songs, I post 2 at a time (with YT or online link for each song), you vote for one winner, winning song moves on, etc., until there's one song that wins the entire tournament.
And with that, HAPPY NOMINATION DAYS! Begin nominating!
Edit: Now we have 144 total songs to battle it out. One will soon shine on top of the song tree!
The rule for each match: Vote for ONE song that you think is the best. First to 4 votes moves on.
