5 rounds. 130 songs. One winner. A lot of strong opinions I am absolutely going to share.

Okay so I didn't fully expect Gina to run away with this one, but here we are. 108 points, 1 round win, and a lead that was frankly uncomfortable to watch if you were revleitner. Good? Great. Moving on. A 13-point margin sealed the result.
The song that lives in my head from this whole league is "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)" by The Four Lads. revleitner submitted that. 17 points. It hit. I don't know what else to say. Sometimes a song choice is just correct and that was one of them.
"Betty screams like Bjork in this version and I love it"
jsexe on It's Oh So Quiet by Betty Hutton · Original version of a song that most people don't know is a cover
The rounds themselves were a whole journey. "Original version of a song that most people don't know is a cover" was the opener and revleitner took it with "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)" — "One Hit Wonders" went to Gina with "Come On Eileen" by Dexys Midnight Runners (16 pts). And for "Family group or sibling duo" went to Ben with "Party Rock Anthem" by LMFAO, Lauren Bennett, GoonRock (14 pts). There were some genuinely bold picks this league and I respect that even when I disagreed.
Macie entered for the first time, immediately making their presence felt. bryan.joel-ca sat this one out, their absence noted. In the standings, Gina climbed 4 spots, revleitner climbed 2 spots.
motown and soul defined the mood of this league. The 1990s cast a long shadow over the playlist.
Anyway. Gina is your League 2 champion. Gina (108), revleitner (95), Carrie (88). League 3 is going to be different. It always is and it never is. See you there.
