GROUP 1
2- Stromae - Formidable
3- Pascal Obispo - Superflu
2- Serge Gainsbourg - Vu de l'extérieur

Not too late, but did you mean to give 2 to Stromae and 1 to Gainsbourg or the other way round?

@þerxh Sant-Enogat

Two groups with a TCAT song

Amsterdam - 3
Tour de France - 2
Fils de joie - 1

Balance ton quoi - 3
Les Champs-Elysées - 2
Le temps de l'amour - 1

Give your top three songs 3, 2, and 1 points, respectively. You must give points to exactly three songs.

Voting will last 96 hours (4 days) or until there are at least three voters. The top two songs from each group advance to the Final.

GROUP 4
Christine and the Queens - Saint Claude
Kraftwerk - Tour de France
Plastic Bertrand - Ça plane pour moi
Jacques Brel - Amsterdam
Stromae - Fils de joie


GROUP 5
Edith Piaf - Les Trois Cloches
Françoise Hardy - Le temps de l'amour
Angèle - Balance ton quoi
Joe Dassin - Les Champs-Elysées
Gérard Presgurvic - Et Voilà Qu'elle Aime



Tiebreakers:
- Number of voters giving 3 points
- Number of voters giving 2 points
- 24-hour tiebreaker round
- Random chance

Tactical voting refers to either giving more points than you normally would to a song because it would make the difference between it going through or getting eliminated, or giving fewer points than you normally would to a song because it might kick a song you like even more out of the competition. This is hard to prevent, but my very strong request would be to not do it. Give points to the songs you believe deserve to go through, regardless of how others are voting. Doing otherwise reduces the value of votes that came before you, which is unfair to them. Remember that it's not a competition between voters, but a collective effort to make a nice list of songs we like. Thanks.

I did my best with all the links but there is always a chance some are broken or have a wrong version or bad audio quality. If a link is broken or you have a suggestion for a better link, please contact me or post the link in the thread. Officially, we are not voting on the YouTube link, but on the listed Artist + Title.

COMMENTARY ON THE PROGRESS OF THE GAME, THE RULES, WHAT SONGS YOU LIKE, ETC., IS VERY WELCOME.

We only have 2 votes (including my own) on the groups so far and I don't think a TMT election night broadcast is gonna happen. Meanwhile there is some movement in the group voting.

Therefore I think the best course of action now is to postpone the deadlines for the finals until weve finished with all the group stages. Once these are done hopefully we can try again with the finals and hopefully get some more participants and a proper results reveal.

Any votes before then will of course be counted.

Since the deadline has long passed and we now have three voters, these groups are now closed and I will post the next ones.

Yeah, I'll leave them open just in case there's a sudden burst of interest, but there's a good chance we won't be able to finish.

The categories were no weirder or more special than previous years, and selected by the voters themselves (more than participated in later stages), so I don't think that is the main problem here.

We still need more votes on the groups currently being voted on before we can add the last two finals. That said, the deadline for these four finals remains unchanged. I don't think theres enough enthusiasm to do an election night tmt broadcast in the discord but I will still post the results here around the same time.

Vote before december 1st

Assuming these are all indeed recent releases we are full!

Thanks to everyone who nominated.

Unfortunately we are still missing a third vote on the first three french groups

Anyone?

Viagra Boys - Man Made of Meat

30 minutes left to vote. However, it seems likely we won't have three voters by then so we will once again continue until we do.

Formidable - 3
Tout L'Univers - 2
Alors on Danse - 1

Papaoutai - 3
Tout Oublier - 2
Ella elle l'a - 1

Voyage Voyage - 3
Complainte pour Ste Catherine - 2
L'homme pressé - 1

Joost Klein - Luchtballon

For the final categories we are still in the nomination phase (recent songs) and in the voting phase (french). We need more nominations and more votes to get these done on time. Finals will be posted here once the voting phase is finished. (The final deadline will be the same)
