Haven Rock Idol Results Round 8 (complete)

[Razzle Dazzle]

got all the votes in so look out for the results from 6pm

[smokeyb]

Think it will be a bottom 3 position for me this time.

[Whitneyfan]

Definitely 13th or 12th for mine!

[Milliways]

Pretty sure I'll be below half way. For me there was a clear top 7, it was just the order that was quite difficult.

I reckon the less mainstream tracks will struggle here, the well-known ones are all a bit too strong.

13. Whitneyfan (3 points) Lykke Li - I Follow Rivers

Three single point votes from Darkstar, Manic and Raliverpool, such a strong round but even people who liked it couldn’t give it more than a point, will this unwated record of lowest points scored in a round be topped?

[Razzle Dazzle]

12. Milliways (38 points) The Vaccines - Teenage Icon

I had a few messages saying if it was a different Vaccines song it would’ve got more points from them, only 2 songs didn’t get anyone’s 15 points and these were the bottom two

[Razzle Dazzle]

11. Roo (39 points) Delays - Nearer Than Heaven

Another very good song, some of you might know their singer Greg is fighting cancer at the moment, such a good band with plenty of excellent songs. Roo will be pleased Hupin has made a comeback because this was his 15 pointer

[Whitneyfan]

I knew I'd be last, but I still think it's a great track.

[Razzle Dazzle]

10. Smokeyb (51 points) Chvrches – Gun

I love Chvrches, probably the best female fronted alternative pop band around at the moment, maybe a bit too modern to pick up the nostalgia votes the older songs often get but 51 points isn’t too shabby and Big Dan gave it his 15, a few people tipped it to be bottom so it did very well to get 51 points

[Roo.]

I thought Chvrches would do better than that, maybe it was too pop?

Lykke Li would have got points from me had it not been for that remix.

[Razzle Dazzle]

9. Manickangaroo (61 points) Furniture - Brilliant Mind


One I worried about at the start but it exceeded my expectations with a nice mid table finish, Raliverpool gave it his 15 points but it got a few decent points, overall it keeps Manic in 6th and puts him 10 points closer to Smokeyb in 5th

[Razzle Dazzle]

8. Big Dan (71 points) Lightning Seeds – Change

Big Dan with a very nice total of 71 points, who doesn’t love the melodic pop sensibilities of the Lightning Seeds, this will push him up a place overall so a good round for him

[Razzle Dazzle]

7. Andy (78 points) Of Monster and Men - Little talks

Thinking outside the box with a modern classic really from the Icelandic folk rock band, it didn’t quite get top points from me but Shireblogger gave it his top points

[Milliways]

Bit disappointed not to score a few more points for 'Teenage Icon', my favourite Vaccines song and one of the catchiest tracks I've ever heard.

[Razzle Dazzle]

6. Greendemon (88 points) The La’s – There She Goes

Greendemon feared the worst but actually it almost reached 100 points, not quite enough for a top 5 finish but very solid score, Thorney and Smokeyb gave it their top scores

[Razzle Dazzle]

5. Razzle Dazzle (93 points) The Cardigans – My Favourite Game

Coming in 5th with my favorite Cardigans song, Roo and Manic liked it too giving it their top points, iconic video, Scandinavian pop genius with some hard hitting rocky undertones, love it and so did most of you

[Milliways]

There's one song that I'm surprised made the top 5, and I thought the La's would be in there.

[Razzle Dazzle]

4. Raliverpool (105 points) Blondie – Atomic

Many peoples tip to win but a few late scores pushed it down the order from 2nd to 4th, Raliverpool had just clawed Earl Purple's overall lead back by 30 points last round but looks like he will extend it again here, but by how much?

yeah I had the La's top 5

3. Thorney (111 points) Blur - Theres No Other Way

One of the late movers, it was always upper mid table but got consistent votes from most people, we all love a bit of Blur and this was them at their poppy best
