TITANIUM #BOTB RESULTS

WELCOME BACK TO BOTB! 
It’s time to announce the results of the May 1st showdown.


This battle featured duelling contestants on talent shows.

 I thought this contest would be fairly close, and boy, was I ever wrong! ๐Ÿ˜ฒ Turns out, with the exception of one "lesser of two evils" vote, all of your preferred Madilyn Bailey's version. As for me, I loved Asher's highly emotional performance, but concur that Madilyn did a great job as well.

Here’s how it went down:

OOWATANITE #BOTB RESULTS

WELCOME BACK TO BOTB! 
It’s time to announce the results of the April 1st showdown.


This battle featured duelling rock bands and a battle of the sexes:
Canadian males vs South African females!


 I thought this contest would be fairly close and it was! The turnout was a little sparse and two BOTB participants didn't vote at all (wassup with that? ๐Ÿค”), which might have made a difference. Anyway, thanks to all who did take the time to play. ๐ŸŒน

It was a dead heat, and I chose the heavier sound of The Dirty Nil to break the tie.

VEHICLE #BOTB RESULTS

WELCOME BACK TO BOTB! 
It’s time to announce the results of the March 1st showdown.


This battle featured an American Idol alum vs an American-Italian soul singer.

At first it appeared to be a close battle, but then Bo, with help from Richie Sambora, took a strong lead. For me, it was a tough decision. I've been a fan of Wess' since the 1960s, when I lived in Europe. And Bo was my choice to win American Idol. In the end, the slighter slower tempo and Richie's guitar riffs gave Bo the edge.
