revleitner Claims the Crown and We Have Notes
5 rounds. 15 players. More intrigue than anyone is admitting to.
Vivienne Blake, your favorite Music League correspondent | League 5
Darlings, League 5 has concluded and the results are — how do we put this — *exactly as expected*, and yet somehow *entirely surprising*. revleitner walked away with 98 points like they had planned this all along. sgigs finished second and I can only imagine the feelings.
The submission that had everyone talking: "Falling Slowly" by Glen Hansard, Markéta Irglová, courtesy of 8ob. 16 points. Was it a calculated choice? A gut feeling? A message? We may never know. But 8ob will not be forgetting that score anytime soon — and neither will anyone else.
"This musical sounds insane"
jsexe on The Ballad of Jane Doe by Emily Rohm, The Ride the Cyclone World Premiere Cast Recording Ensemble · Musicals
The "Musicals" round — won by 8ob with "Falling Slowly" — set the tone early. From there, it was a game of nerves. "Music League Theme Song" went to jsexe with "The Waiting" by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers (16 pts). Every pick is a tell, if you know how to read it.
We must address the lineup. adiana sat this one out, their absence noted. In the standings, Eric climbed 7 spots, jsexe climbed 5 spots. The energy in this group shifted in ways that I think we'll all be talking about.
musicals and classic rock defined the mood of this league. The 1990s cast a long shadow over the playlist. Meanwhile, Joe at the bottom of the standings with 44 points — we don't say *loser* in this house, but we do say *character building*.
revleitner, the crown is yours — for now. The music league giveth, the music league taketh away. League 6 promises to be *very interesting*. Don't miss it.
