#BoTB Results: The First Cut Is The Deepest

Wow... Another close one. Judith van Hel (aka nose-ring tattoo princess) started out with a clear, if surprising, advantage, but after a flurry of last-minute votes, The McClymonts caught up. For a while there, it looked like my vote would be the one to either break or make a tie, which I was not looking forward to, haha. This is the tally, sans my vote:
The McClymonts (11)
Lee
Mike
Cathy
Janie
Dolorah
Gwen
Robin
Stephanie
Stephen
FAE
Jeffrey


Judith van Hel (9)
Yolanda
John
Cherdo
Michele
Dixie
Elliptical Man
Debbie
Hilary
Birgit


My vote goes to Judith; her deeper voice totally did it for me. That would bring her count up to 10, versus The McClymonts' 11. The McC girls won, fair and square, and well deserved; like several people pointed out, the sound they achieved with only three voices and an acoustic guitar is well deserving of this victory. Too sweet, maybe (depending on your taste), but certainly a musical achievement. Congratulations, girls!

See you next week (15th) for another awesome Battle! In the meantime, I leave you with some more saccharine sweetness from the champions... Treat or torture depends on how you voted, I guess :D

    Congratulations, Guilie! Great Battle. Though I didn't vote for the winner, today's song feature was really nice. Reminded me of Katy Perry's "1000 Years"... in the chorus.

    Are you doing something scary for Oct 15th?

      Glad you liked the winners' encore, Dixie :) Not sure what I'll do for the 15th... Maybe I'll save my "scary" repertoire for Nov. 1st, since that's Day of the Dead in Mexico, hehe. And you? Any haunting songs planned for the 15th?

    'FOREVER BEGINS TONIGHT' is pretty horrible (and I damn-sure hope that title ain't true!!!)

    But The McClymonts vs. Bullette-Nosering seemed pretty easy for me to vote on. (However, I always hate to vote for Sac·cha·rine-Country, aka McArtificialSweetenersGirls.)

    I look forward to the next Battle, which I hope will wash this saccharine-coated nose-ring contest outta me mind. (Yes... "outta me mind".)

    How 'bout Ol' Waylon Vs. Merle Haggard?
    We "Real Men" deserve a break!

    Treat as far as I'm concerned. Loved the song posted today, thanks for sharing.
    I know others don't care for the sound (and I'm not much of country song lover) but I liked it.
    Glad for once I helped determine a winner this week.
