Well, technically, if you check the scoreboard, Paco ties handily. For whatever that's worth...

I agree that you tied with Paco in overall votes. However, with the caveat "if you take out the singletons", Paco beat you. Some of your fans are single-minded about it.

Ah, yes, that "acquired taste" thing. Gotcha. I shoulda known better than to question the wisdom of the FMs

Okay, all this talk about Sammy's reviews somehow persuaded me to give it another shot, trying to watch a video of his. I managed 22 seconds, counting the "intro". That's less than five percent of the video. I listen through 100% of more than 90% of Song Fight! submissions I ever listen to (I don't listen to every fight, but when I do listen to one, I try all the songs in it). In conclusion, extrapolating a bit, virtually all of Song Fight! is easier to listen to than Sammy. For me, anyway.
In other news, congrats to Paco.

Torrentz - I did not expect to enjoy a rap entry this round. I was shocked by how good this was. The sampling, the lyrics, the flow...everything just fit together so well. Damn son.
King Arthur - You took a POV for this song that does not appeal to me...at all. However, it's done so well that you sold me...on the song. Clear story, that went at the title from an angle I didn't expect, and the ending was entertaining. Great work.
Billy And The Psychotics - Loved the music & vocal performance. Overall I could listen to this if I just to rock out to something while doing something else. But...I didn't care for the lyrics, so it's not something that would make my MP3 player. PS: I did like 2 lines "The only French I know / Is how to kiss goodbye". You also get bonus points for using the lyric forum...since only 25% of the people did this time.
Elephant Kitties - Really enjoyed your singing, it's a really sweet voice. Clean recording, even if there's not much too it. Simple isn't bad. Lyrically...bored me.
Johnny Cashpoint - Funny idea, poor execution.
Juliet's Happy Dagger - Props for including a lot of French, but honestly that hurts your replay value...at least for me. I like to understand the lyrics, and I don't speak French. I can read them in the forum (thanks for that), but if I'm listening on my MP3 player I couldn't sing along...and that ain't fun. This was just a bad fight overall for my personal tastes.

Thanks for what I take as a great compliment. When somebody disagrees with the message of a song but the song itself is strong enough that they're willing to listen to what one has to say... the music is doing its job! I really appreciate the comment!
