Hello dear Apha… mmh wait…
the site has changed name!
How can I call you now?
Wingsoftomorrowers? No, too long.
Wingers? Nah, that sounds like
another band! mmh...Maybe
WOTers. Yeah, that sounds cool! Let’s go for it!
So, hello WOTers!
Waiting for the final match of this battle and while the voting session for the third place goes on, I have been thinking about the result so far that, for me, is pretty unexpected. I looked back at the matches of Phase five (when we went down from eight songs to four) and I discovered that only in one case the song I had voted had won the match (that was
Start from the dark vs.
Heart of stone). I was pretty sad for my other favourites
but then I considered that, for one person that was disappointed by that result there should have been at least two persons happy with that. So I checked all the matches since Phase four (when direct elimination matches started and we went down from 16 to 8 songs) and that’s how I came out with the following (last) bullets of this battle:
A bullet on the battlefield #36: In Phase four we had sixteen songs and eight matches. There is only one voter that was lucky enough to see all his eight favourite songs winning. And he was very happy about that. How I know it? Because it was me! Yes, in the following phase I would have been very disappointed but until then everything went perfect. Besides me I believe that also
steph must have been very satisfied. She got 7 out of eight of her favourites qualified (she only missed
Open your heart beated by
Ready or not).
A bullet on the battlefield #37: Ok. And now the members that weren’t that lucky: considering only the users that in phase four have voted for all the eight matches the most disappointed must have been our dear guest
Stein and
EuropeMagnum . They only got 3 out of 8 of their favourites qualified. I’m not sure about Stein’s opinion about that but I know that Europemagnum was happy at least of the final sixteen songs.
well, I looked at the final 16... not one bad song there
So in principle, he’s likely happy also with the final eight songs even if they’re not always those he had chosen.
A bullet on the battlefield #38: Let’s take a look at what happened in Phase 5. Then we had eight songs and four matches. Was there someone lucky enough to see all his/her favourites winning? Yes, they were actually two: our dear friend
Eva Tomorrow and
Stein , that, this way, was a bit compensated for his previous bad luck. And, talking about bad luck, besides me, also
martinabedofroses and (once again!
)
EuropeMagnum have assisted to the elimination of most of their favourites. We all got only one song out of four. That was
The final countdown (what else?
) beating
No stone unturned for europemagnum and
Start from the dark over
Heart of stone for me and martinabedofroses.
A bullet on the battlefield #39: What happened in the semifinals? Well, here the happy users that had both their songs qualified to the grand finale were:
Tone Irene ,
guesswho? ,
Michaela Italy ,
marina ,
ricardo and (at last!
)
EuropeMagnum ! On the dark side of the moon,
Sahiyela Osiceca ,
steph ,
Eva Tomorrow ,
watercolourgirl ,
Stefania and me would have probably preferred that the third place final was the big one instead.
A bullet on the battlefield #40: Considering the warriors that have skipped maximum four votes, there are some users that, in the fourteen final matches (phase four, five and semifinals), must have been quite disappointed because only six times their favourites won:
poundingheart ,
martinabedofroses ,
andy74 and (of course
)
EuropeMagnum . Sorry about that guys, I hope that, in spite of these unfortunate circumstances, the battle gave you some fun.
A bullet on the battlefield #41: But in the end, considering all these final fourteen matches (phase four, five and semifinals), and the warriors that have skipped maximum four matches, is there a member that can be considered happier than the others? Well, I think so. And that member is
marina ! She got 10 out of 14 matches won by her favourites. Not only. Of these 14 matches she has skipped 3 and this means that only once
her favourite didn’t win the match (that was
Days of rock ‘n’ roll losing to
Girl from Lebanon). Well, congratulations marina, you’re a real talisman!
