In unrelated news unfortunately there appears to be some sort of discrepancy with your nomination Riviat and in order to preserve the integrity of this fine competition I've had to disqualify you.

 

[Riviat]

These hosts are getting more and more power tripping by the week

It's amazing how NSW always find a way to bottle SOO.

 

[Bob Neil]

Very solid round - thanks for a lot of great noms .

Bringing up the rear in 27th was the fly with Tarcutta Shade by Skyscraper Stan with 2 votes and 0 Billies.
In 26th was Riviat with "and you evade him/born in the blood..." by Joshua Burnside with 3 votes and 0 Billies.

In the 25-21 bracket were the following:
25th: endure with Sewu by Rinawat on 4 votes and with 5 Billies the equal billy leader and presumably, by countback with the lower vote total (a ruling please judges??) the Billy Winner!!

Equal 22nd: Purple7x08_24 with Ready For It? by Taylor Swift (2 billies), Pickitt with Lovers Rock by TV Girl and The Filth Wizard with Twin Falls by Built To Spill each with 5 votes (neither of which got a Billy).
21st was RedmanWasHere with Along The Road To Gundagai by Slim Dusty with 9 votes and 5 Billies to be the other equal highest Billy recipient.

 

[spudmaster]

Billying a national treasure in Slim Dusty??? Shame on people.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Surprised at only two billies for Swift. I didn't billy it myself, but thought that would win it for sure given what's happened in the past. Obviously the contest is changing.

 

[Bob Neil]

In the 20-16 bracket were:

20th: Back One Out with Angel From Montgomery by Bonnie Raitt & John Prine with 10 votes (0 billies)
19th: GreyCrow with Baltimore by Nina Simone with 12 votes (0 billies)
T17th: SM with Heaven, Iowa by Fallout Boy on 12 votes (2 billies)
T17th: FootyGuy13 with Suddenly by Billy Ocean also with 12 votes (and 2 billies)

Bonus points for anyone who knew that both "Taylor" and "Swift" were each the names of towns in Tennessee.

I billied that Sewu song so don't blame me.

To be fair, having a third of the song as complete silence didn’t help it.

I billied it because it was trash.

Only got 5 measley votes. FWIW it was a catchy song and worth more. There will always be artists that get no love. But at least I had the balls to nominate something I like.

Swift writes her own songs and can actually sing without voice correction/autotune

Her musical abilities have merit and deserves more credit.

She's a lot better than the autotune pop garbage that gets nominated in this comp.
