Male Artists - First Group Stage (1-16)

[Earl Purple]

These are the groups (of 3). Please put them in preference 1, 2 and 3, where 1 is your first preference and 2 is your second preference.

For example, if the group acts were Clint Boon, David Sneddon and 50 Cent, you might put: 1 Clint Boon v 2 David Sneddon v 3 50 Cent

I'd prefer no ties, but if you just vote for a 1st I will assign the points 4-1-1.

You have one full week to vote, that is, until 11:59pm on Sunday 28 November.

There is no seeding, so voting may be tough. 2 of the 3 progress from each group.
