This is my list of non-responders, and also, if they responded since I posted this.  Samuel said we won't hear from Nevermind (maybe inside info?) and I did send Drew a message, which he's not opened.  I think he may have had computer trouble, which is why I reached out extra to him.  I am guessing we won't hear back from these others who've not responded, which would be Icarium and Triptych specifically.  I've not had this happen before, so I suggested at least listening through to the contenders until we see if they do. If we don't hear back by end of day, I would think it would be safe to vote, on the contenders that are up.  I edited my post from yesterday to say that polling would open tomorrow (Sunday), with whomever had responded by then.

Icarium
Nevermind
Bruford Freak 
Samuel:  Entered Into Poll
dr wu23  Entered Into Poll
wiz_d_kidd: Your one entry your selection, or have you another to consider that you haven't posted?  Edited to add that since you only entered one, I'm putting it into the poll.
Triptych

I did see someone had voted, real votes this time.  I actually know pretty much how I'm voting and how I would vote for the remaining potential suggestions, so it is possible to have your decisions, even when someone hasn't posted their final choice.  I hope this is the case for the one who did vote already.

  I think so, too.  Maybe when we notice a newcomer, we should advise them to make sure they look at the first post for the rules?

It also happened in my poll. I wrote to them all and got them all to put something up (except those that had only nominated one song - I'd just use that).
Listening now, great stuff indeed!

Nevermind btw seems to be a new account by somebody who had been thrown out earlier, and is therefore probably blocked. (I can see collaborators discussion, I hope it's not top secret but I haven't been warned.)

I could be missing something, but I searched through 3 times to make sure that he didn't indicate it as a final (or any), same for Icarium.

Because we are hitting "morning," in other parts of the world, I'm opening up the polls for voting now.

Quite an excellent selection of song and an amazing playlist.  Here's my top 3:

1. Barbara Morgenstern - “Angel’s Whisper”
2. An Pierlé - “Helium Sunset”
3. Heather Nova - "Island"

Everything else is literally honorable mentions!

There has been a terrible fight at the foot of the podium, but the three that managed to climb on the three steps are:
- Faun Fables - Goodbye (listened to and ordered their album)
- Barbara Morgenstern - Angel's Whisper
- Angelica Garcia - Valentina in the Moonlight

If Julia Holter would have been in the fight, she would have kicked one off (don't know who though); I ordered her album too.

Here we go, for my votes:

As always, huge thanks to everyone participating!  All were excellent contributions.  And always also to Lorenzo for the creation of the polls and George for the playlists!

1.  Angelica Garcia “Valentina in the Moonlight”  You may say you don’t have a lot to draw from, but you got some cream of the crop here, with her.  I just love this.  Dark, haunting, spare, a sad story and a lovely voice.  That just soars in the chorus.  Wow.  This one knocks me out. And still did, every listen.  

2.  Francesca Lago “Bring the Noise”  Dark electric guitar opens, joined by Francesca’s dark, confessional voice, then cello (?). I wouldn’t mess with her.  I like this one a lot, she creates a perfect atmosphere.  Interesting end choice, with the children singing the chorus.  I like songs that give me chills, this one did also, esp with the ending.  Teach your children well.

3.  Barbara Morgenstern “Angel’s Whisper” Definitely striking atmospheric performance video all in “concert black,” with the choir clapping and singing in a ghostly/angelic way.  Her accompaniment on the piano is minimal, yet perfect for the piece, the sax (and a little bit of electronic keyboard) perfectly underscores the music in just the right places to the crescendo ending.  This was such a striking performance piece.

Honorable Mentions:

An Pierlé “Helium Sunset”  Love the title.  This has a feeling of the stage to me. Very expressive voice.  Another ominous piece with her voice punctuating and stressing, stretching and relaxing, very dynamic.  I like the way she uses her voice as an instrument here.  On perusing the lyrics, maybe a suicidal trip for two?  Another haunting one.

Mary Black “Trying to Get the Balance”  I do know this one and this treasure of Ireland.  This song is about relationships, figuratively getting balance right as tight-rope walkers, getting balance right also makes me think of balancing sound, and she does mention trying to be in harmony, in the lyrics.  Piano and guitar back her clear vocals.  If I hadn't known of it, would have been in my top 3, still feel it is so strong, I must make mention of it.

Special Mention:  If Drew had been able to come back in time, this would also have fought for a top 3 spot.  He did contact me and is sorry he didn't have the time to participate fully.  Julia Holter “Words I Heard” Live in studio setting here, piano and strings.  I love this kind of a piece, melancholy, soft horns play along from time to time, this has a very “city” feeling to me, thoughtful and sophisticated.  Climax of the piece, with shimmery harmonies, making me think of church bells, somehow, then back down to the general feel to conclude.

And, trumpets announce for an extra-special award, goes to Lily Allen's "f**k You," doubtless inspired by the phantom early voter and made me laugh.  *curtseys* to George!

Glad to hear someone likes her music as much as I do.  I don't think she gets enough recognition.
