Subject: Ages of Amiright (Round 10 Voting) VOTES DUE TONIGHT

Written By: Matthias on 05/06/09 at 1:35 pm

Rules

1. Vote for your top 5 favorite songs in the order in which you like them the most.
2. Don't use "DKTOS" as an excuse, there's a Youtube link for a reason.
3. Make sure you get your votes in by the midnight of May 20th
4. If you don't vote you won't be able to get the 5 extra points for voting, thus if you're in first place you might move down to third or fourth in tight contests.
5. You can't vote for your own song.
6. You must also comment on every parody.

It's been a good run guys, but just because the fun of Ages of Amiright is over and done with the fun of the parody contests don't need to end there are a ton of contests that you guys can join in with. As for me it's feel's good to get the pressure of "Ages" off of my chest for awhile, because I'm currently the only person hosting contests on this site with ABC, SOTM, Artistry, and Karaoke Revolutionized... I hope to see you in all of them or if not all of them at least Artistry, because lord knows we need the people! Especially those of you who haven't entered a round yet (Arwen, and Melanie Lee) and those of you who are the regulars (Conqueror of Parodies, and Below Average Dave), and Invisible Boy who used to be a regular for awhile, I want to see you back in there Invisible Boy! And the rest of you join in as well it's all good fun!!!

Anyways on to my votes...

5 Points: Below Average Dave
4 Points: Invisible Boy
3 Points: 2nz
2 Points: Arwen
1 Point: Jeff Reuben

1 point to Melanie Lee vs. Dobby
2 points to Arwen vs. Floppy Handshakes
3 points to Matthias vs. Telemarketers
4 points to BAD vs. Vista
5 points to IB vs. Anything-That-Takes-His-Fancy, Really

HM to Jeff vs. Made-up Wife and 2nz vs. Advertisements.

Well this competition was a blast, lots of awesome parodies, songs and people! Whatever could be next (given the pattern, it'd be Decathlon 3.0...anyone mad enough to host that?)?

8)  It's not too annoying to me that this contest is coming to an end, because my life is about to get very busy!  I've been selected to enter a teacher training program called New Visions.  I'll be training to be a NYC public high school English teacher. 

Anyway, this rounds been great, with a collection of entertaining songs!  Kudos to all of you!  :-*

Our winner has written a list parody that very excellently captures his hates and his love of, among other things, parodies. Our second place finisher has proudly let Microsoft have it for the very fact that Vista exists, among other things. And in third place is me bitching about commercialism.

Excellent work throughout everyone. THanks to those who participated throughout the tournament, those who missed a few, and those who were only able to join for one or two rounds. Everyone involved is responsible for making this an excellently fun and addicting tournament. Personally, this tournament has motivated me to write enough new works to get within 2 parodies of the coveted 100-parody marker, which makes me feel very thankful to all of you, and very privileged to be counted among you all.

Take care everyone. See you next time. ANd a special thanks to Matt, for continuously keeping these things going and organized.
