Congrats to both BSS And Grumpy Mike! You truly brought your A-game and this was as close as it could get. I will admit that technically you both nailed it. It was the overall visceral effect that decided it for me, a subjective response to two awesome songs produced virtually flawlessly. “Exceeds expectations” is what Nur Ein finals consistently produce and this was a classic showdown. Thank you!

Congrats Mike! Welcome to the two-timers club. Excellent song, BSS! Thanks to everybody for all the music, thanks to the other judges for all the great title and challenge ideas and for how smoothly our part of things went, and most of all thanks to Niveous for creating this amazing event and keeping it going. Fantastic job running it this year!

So can somebody tell us exactly who was in Le Tits Now now? :lol: And who were The Friends?!

I also wanted to thank everyone who participated for a great experience, all the participants for being patient and gracious (as well as creative), the judges and Niveous for making it a mostly smooth experience and especially BSS and Mike for a great challenge. The final songs were both worthy of a final round. This Nur Ein was exactly what I needed.

And, finally, congratz to Mike for the win. Don't spend the winnings all in one place.

The Friends are Ezra Gale and Kevin Woodruff.

I met Ezra through FAWM and that's how he got involved in Nur Ein.

Fun fact- much like you & I, Ezra is a New Yorker, while Kevin lives in Oregon.
