The song is Pop, not Reggae, according to Google.
I suggest you stay on the same band but with a changed song, that is, the one I already played. If you don't agree, we'll change until it comes out. That's so you don't get upset that I blew your song.
Genres instead of themes are so limiting and uninspiring. And there'll be allways "is this jazz or pop?" is something rock or metal? To put music in boxes in such a way ... this isn't versatile at all ... people will just wait for their favorite genre/style. And I really dislike reagge.
WARNING: MUST BE LISTENED TO ON HEADPHONES! Most computer speakers won't do justice to the bass. ...I bought this album on vinyl back in 1985 (it was originally released in 1978 - I was always a little behind the times!). So no Abba, George Michael or Bon Jovi for this week's choices, then? ;))

I honestly would have preferred you to come up with a proposal. Do you see things differently? How? I said from the beginning, it's not my game, it's ours. I'm sorry for your decision and I hope you change your mind. We look forward to seeing you at any time.

More than a little ironic...to not want to put music in 'boxes' and yet, at the same time, say 'And I really dislike reggae'. It would be nice to think that this game can open up people's minds, don't you think @Liviu Sandu (A72)?
I remain of the opinion that the participants do it for fun. They do it because they like music. Regardless of the musical genre, we will find and hear beautiful songs. The idea of the competition is just the reason for the start. And even if someone leaves the first round, I know they will stay with us, they will vote and enjoy the music. No offense. Musical tastes are not discussed and should not be a reason to be upset.

Have been waiting for my favourite style for a lot of time and I know it will never, ever, ever come. Probably would lead to everyone unjoining
That doesnt stop me from putting my own spin within the rules though, perhaps some reggae song has the spin you like :)

I am ok with themes like reggae even that is not my prefered style either. Some ideas that allow for different music styles: songs from a specific time (e.g. the nineties), music related to a specific word (e.g. rain, sand), music where a specific instrument plays a big role (e.g. saxophone, piano), covers, one hit wonders.
An idea for season 3 if it would come: the top players of the previous season pick their favorite theme and these are used in that season (among other themes chosen by Liviu).
So far we have 7 proposals. There are 14 registered players, if you consider me one of them. We have a retired player, which means that no one will be relegated at this stage. The join and posting deadline is January 11th.
Following your requests, but also some ideas that came to me along the way, I will add new rules to the contest. - Each player is entitled to one wildcard during a season, which allows him to be absent in one stage. This advantage cannot be used in the last two stages. - If a player does not post in a stage and does not request that wildcard, it is considered eliminated. - an eliminated player can still post outside the competition, and the song chosen by him will not be able to be chosen by another competitor at that stage. - Eliminated players still have the right to vote. - We can have only one elimination per stage, and if there are two eliminated in the same stage, it means that in the next stage we will not have eliminations. - it is possible along the way, in each stage to appear additional conditions for posting the song, in addition to the one related to the musical genre.
I only did this cause I thought my original pick was invalid
It is better to have 2 chances. We also listen to more music ... Let's see now how I do with the score. The most voted songs will probably remain for each one. I still have time to think ... Maybe you will find a solution that suits everyone.
