ASFXMAS 2025 - VOTING COMPLETE - RESULTS TONIGHT 8PM

[Agneeta]

After three HOLY NIGHTS we've heard the songs that never made the charts, but will become CHRISTMAS NO.1 IN OUR HEARTS FOR DECADES TO COME!

See here, the playlists. Please note that songs 18 and 19 are on YouTube only, so not on Spotify.

SPOTIFY



And now the voting. The votes will be sent to myself (via the Jolly Postman if you please). The voting system is the classic Eurovision 1-12 (almost). With 12 as your favourite and descending. As it's Christmas you can GIVE TWO 12's! Participants MUST vote or face a 70 point penalty!

You may not vote for your own song and you can vote if you haven't entered. Date to be confirmed with @dmlaw who is hosting the results, likely to be shortly before the BIG DAY, when I will present him with the votes, tied with a festive bow (the votes, not me).

[straightorbroken]

I love how the parentheses for avatar names turns the songs into a believable Shania Twain tracklisting.

 

[dmlaw]

Results likely to be on 22nd or 23rd, so votes in by Sunday 21st at the VERY LATEST.

 

[Suomi]

Can I vote if I didn’t enter? Need to be sure before I subject myself

I worked very hard (with ChatGPT) to get the votes looking tidy!

 

[Agneeta]

Please do!

 

[Suomi]

Okay thanks, since I’m neutral can my votes represent 50% of the total?

I'll see what I can do

 

[Agneeta]

Anyone whose not in the other topic, we have a suspected A.I. track in our midst!

 

[Berly]

Will attempt to listen over the next week, but as an Apple girlie I’ll take a bit longer

I do have an unused Apple account. I'll see what I can do.

 

[Agneeta]

That's a lie, I have an Amazon one. Soz. If anyone can, that would be amazing!

 

[Agneeta]

I shouldn't do this while overdoing over the counter pain killers.

 

[Joseph]

Will attempt to listen over the next week, but as an Apple girlie I’ll take a bit longer

Same

 

[ButterTart]

I’ve been on my Christmas do tonight but NO FUCKING WAY has somebody submitted Carol Von Holz

That’s been my banker for years since I thought nobody else would ever find it

 

[Indie]

I wondered if "Holly Sterole" was a cheeky anagram to give the game away.

But the best the Internet could give me was "trolley holes".

 

[Indie]

Or indeed, "lolly heteroes" but that definitely doesn't seem right.

 

[Agneeta]

Weekend BUMP

 

[Agneeta]

Could a @Moderator PIN THIS

 

[Agneeta]

No votes yet, but would love news of LISTENS

Ran through the whole playlist today.

Why is moopy so hateful this year?

My trusty AI companion has also made some choices

 

[straightorbroken]

So the "controversial" AI song is staying in? I can't remember if I prolapsed to it, but have no problem considering it if it's staying put.

If the software to make these things are free (or reasonable), I'd absolutely love to have an An AI Song for Moopy - I prefer to be subtle and tasteful of course, but can imagine some people really going to town with it (assuming you can tweak lyrics etc).

 

[BoysForSeles]

I plan my first listen during working hours tomorrow.

 

[Joseph]

I felt festive tonight so I gave them all another listen and sent in my votes. GOOD LUCK LADIES

 

[Berly]

I've pressed play

 

[Agneeta]

I've pressed play

Excited to hear all about it!

 

[Pingu]

I’m not taking part in this edition, so would it be too much to ask for whoever the hell is behind Holly Sterole to slip the source audio file into my stocking so I can add it to my Christmas playlist?

I’m sure it can be done via the hosts if they want their anonymity to be preserved a little longer.

This did cross my mind as well, but from my limited knowledge I think you can only really get decent results, unlimited tweaks etc with a paid version.

Has anyone actually said this one is controversial? Aside from the usual "all AI is evil" factions maybe.

 

[straightorbroken]

Wasn't being serious at all about saying it was controversial. Hence the quotation marks.

 

[Pingu]

Oh I know YOU weren't saying it, I just thought you meant someone had tried to kick up a fuss about it.

 

[straightorbroken]

Well Kala has been sending me furious PMs about it.

An entry is an entry is an entry. I doubt I'd reject any song!

 

[Agneeta]

Kala in A.I. fury over song contest he's not involved in.

 

[straightorbroken]

I'm the same. I welcome anyone switching the game up anyway.

 

[Agneeta]

Although that was entitled dmlaw's part of the process. I'm just the numbers girl.

 

[Agneeta]

Anyway to confirm ONE ENTRY IN.

 

[Sardonicus]

Anyway to confirm ONE ENTRY IN.

Make that two!

 

[BoysForSeles]

Listening now. QQ - is allocating all the points mandatory?

Yes, but you don't HAVE to give two 12s, however imagine the reaction.
