Same here.

The results of the Round One judging is in. The winner of the round is... The Dutch Widows ! There was a tie with Glennny but TDW won the tiebreak (3-2). Good work Glennny but The Widows get the immunity. And the cruelest cut... goes to Lichen Throat . Tschüss. Here are the complete rankings: NE18R1...

Niv's extra good time challenge-

Reference this in your song, because the numbers don't lie:

Good question. While the one measure method is preferred (as it would make it easier for the judges), it is not required to be structured that way.

I guess there's a question about using the 7ths or not using the 7ths and both ways will count. Japan likes it with sevenths, America likes it without. Who am I to judge? Wait... since I am judging, again both versions will count. F Peaches, Peaches, Peaches, Peaches, Peaches G Peaches, Peaches, Pea...

So, let me tell you about the Last Minotaur...

Vom Vorton put in a shadow. I said to him that him doing it made me want to do one. He said I should. I went about my day. Then at about 10:15, I said to Brookes that I should do a shadow and she dared me to make one by midnight. I did (basically).

How will you handle Round Two?

I completely forgot about Nur Ein this year. I remembered as I was walking home from work today. Oh well.

Hopefully, we can have some shadows from you.

Niv, you have enough?

Yes. Got the panel in place.

Hey folks,
Still looking to add another name to the judging panel, if anyone is interested. Send me a direct message if you are.

This could be my first year of non-participation. I am in Europe for first 2 rounds. Preparing song may be difficult.

A year without (Insert this year's name here) would be unfortunate. Hopefully you can work out something.

Welcome to Nur Ein #18! The Nur Ein is an eight-round song competition. In each round, the participants are given a song title and a mandatory challenge and are given a week in which to finish that song. Then this year's judging panel will listen to the songs and rate them from best to worst. Each r...

Here's to your recovery!

Good gracious. 2 Decades of Songfighting. That blows my mind.
