13 Roo (16 points) Jimmy Eat World - Big Casino
Thorney gave Roo a point early on and Milliways gave Big Casino his 15 with one of the last sets of votes but that was the lot in a very strong list of songs

12 Manickangaroo (42 points) Screaming Eagles - All The Way
Find of the round for me but it was up against 7 songs in my top 50 of this decade! so it only got the one point from me, a few 10 points and a 15 from Raliverpool gave Screaming Eagles a decent score for such a strong round

Yeh just a token point for Jimmy Eat World, so many better songs like 'Sweetness', 'Bleed American'. 'Work' or 'Pain' but I love them so gave them a point

11 Whitneyfan (45 points) Hard-Fi - Hard To Beat
No real big points for Hard Fi but i got te feeling almost everyone liked it, they just couldnt find a place in their top 5 for Hard To Beat, Whitneyfan is pretty safe in 9th overall so thisshouldnt mke too much of a diffeence overall

10 Thorney (47 points) Brand New - The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows
Interesting that Brand New scored 2 maximum points but finished so low, they got 30 points from 2 voters and only 17 from the remaining 13, Greendemon and Roo gave it their top points so atleast it had some big love this round

9 Smokeyb (51 points) Foo Fighters - The PretenderLittle bit of a shock they scored so low and it doesnt bode well for Foo Fighters in HF3 but they wontbe up against competition as strong as this

kinda expected that when I saw the competition, I should have probably gone with something a bit more accessible like The Darkness or Incubus. My runnerup option would probably have done slightly better

8 Razzle Dazzle (64 points) The Dandy Warhols - Get Off
My second choice song after Our Velocity by Maximo Park was chosen by someone else, which means 3 people chose Maximo Park in this round, i got a few 12s and a 10 if i remember correctly

7 Big Dan (68 points) Maximo Park - Our Velocity
Our Velocity only outscored Get Off by 4 points so in the end it didnt matter which one i chose, Big Dan will be happy to round this contest off with a decent 7th place though,it got 12 points from me

6 Milliways (80 points) Maximo Park - Apply Some Pressure
Apply Some Pressure wins the battle of the Maximo Park songs with a solid 80 points but wil it be enough to move Milliways up the overall leaderboard?

5 Earl Purple (89 points) Fratellis - Chelsea Dagger
Some peoples tip to finish top 2 and i had it to be top 3 but Earl Purple will have to settle for finishing HRI with a 5th place finish, Chelsea Dagger didnt score a single top points which is quite rare for a song to accumulate almost 90 points

4 Raliverpool (94 points) The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army
Me, Andy and Manic gave The White Stripes top points, i rate Seven Nation Army as the best song of the 00's BUT this is significant because Andy is only 3 points behind Raliverpool overall so this is an absolute disaster with Andy still to come with his entry Arctic Monkeys it looks like we have a champion

Till just before a minute before sending White Stripes was my top song then I switched at last moment, it looks like it was probably crucial.

3 Andy (95 points) Arctic Monkeys – I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor
With Andy giving the White Stripes top points and his entry Arctic Monkeys only finishing 1 point ahead of Raliverpool it was enough to crown Raliverpool champion of Haven Rock Idol and very well deserved, he only won 2 rounds but only finished outside the top 5 once and that was in round 4
but we carry on, who will win round 15 and be entererd into champions of champions and we still have 3rd place and the bronze medal all to play for
