It has been a lot of fun watching the votes rack up over the past few days but this race at the end is just incredible. <br /><br />What I'm watching right now is Classical vs. Samba. I am pulling for Samba. Samba needs 8 votes to pull into the lead but with only about 4 hours left to go, things are looking bleak. Another one that is still close is Techno and Grunge. It seems like Techno fans have just run out of juice. Techno needs 4 to tie and 5 to win. Afro-Beat put on a good show but it looks unlikely and so does Calypso.<br /><br />And it is looking like there may be a high of 40 votes by the end of voting, which is amazing to me. My goal was 30 though I would have been satisfied with 20 in the first round of the first category. Thank you so much to all of you who have been voting. Hopefully the Round 2 will be up and ready to vote at midnight. <br /><br />See you then.<br />RogerAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11693213695071707520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6836323892338214505.post-83378597348745924192009-06-20T21:05:27.520-04:002009-06-20T21:05:27.520-04:00I just noticed there is the potential for an Indie...I just noticed there is the potential for an Indie Rock vs Rock and Roll match up in the Elite 8.

I'm watc...Sorry about the previous deletion...<br /><br />I'm watching some music genres take an early lead and as I was voting, some of my choices depended on the type in that genre. Like, I love indie pop, but not popular pop music. I also wondered what era of Jazz. I mean, 20s to 50s jazz I love, but the newer stuff isn't my cup of tea. In the brackets, Techno and grunge are running close, only two votes separating them. I went with Afro-Beat over drum and bass, but d&b is taking the early lead. I can't believe that disco is beating Jam Band - I don't care how much you guys like 70s night when Roger spins, jam bands are better! I'm kinda sad that punk is beating out calypso, even though I like punk better. I heard a calypso band playing at City Market on the Green one Saturday and they sounded awesome. I think the only reason funk is beating southern rock is because people HATE Q-106. I expected Motown to win over Bluegrass, though I almost voted for Bluegrass when I remember the recent performance of Packway Handle Band. The rest of the categories are going the way you would expect, jazz over house, reggae over opera (I picked opera because I own 4 opera albums and only one reggae cd), ska over pop (although indie pop rocks), r&b over polka, rock and roll over new age and hip hop over easy listening. Because I tend to throw rap into the hip hop category and because I loved it when there was a Z-108, I picked easy listening (Gloria Estefan, anybody?), I'm surprised that Lounge is beating out Country and can't help but wonder if the push comes from Roger's endorsement. I picked country.<br /><br />I can't wait to see how this turns out, but if you have a favourite category you want to win, get everybody you know to this site and get them voting!<br /><br />I wonder how we can bet on this...This Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610432209259046642noreply@blogger.com
