Tightrope! It defeated Turn To Stone in the final battle to become the Ultimate ELO Universe Song. Thanks to everyone who participated, and a huge thanks to Horacewimp for letting us do this. It was a fun nine months.

NINE months! Enjoy the rest of your summer, Chippa ! I could use some of that (sugar free) cake and light beer. After today, I won't be here much, if at all, during the next couple of months. Work, traveling, traveling for work, family stuff....etc. I hope everyone has a beautiful summer (or winter, if you're in the Southern Hemisphere) See ya'll down the road.

That was fun! What do we do now? We’ve filled in a 2 year pandemic gap. Time for Jeff to crank up the spaceship. Since all’s quiet on the JLELO front, I’m looking at getting Orchestra tix for October.

I love Tightrope, but it is a bit of a surprise to finish 1st. Perhaps it’s our favorite ELO song of all the ones that haven’t been played to death?

I only wanted one thing out of this contest, and it was that the dreaded "Turn to Stone" didn't win. All through the contest I was thinking "well, it's enough that I wish for it not to win to have it winning it all". I was even unpleasantly surprised by the way it turned around the semifinal when I thought I had finally given it the death blow (things were tied with "Hold on tight" with a lot of people having already voted, and I voted for HoT), like a tough cockroach that refuses to die and comes back to life. But the pleasant surprise came in the final, with "Tightrope" -a song I like, I'd rate it 8/10- finally defeating it. All in all it was good fun and interesting, thanks Chippa .

While it's not in my top 10, Tightrope is still a fantastic song so I'm pleased to see it win this.
Thanks Chippa for running this tournament.

The people have spoken!
That was fun.
There's probably some deep psychological meaning in why 'Tightrope' won this time. My guess is because it worked so well live recently. It's definitely got new meaning for me because of that.
The big question that non forum members will be pondering is why 'MBS' didn't get to the end.

Thanks Chippa for all your hard work, it’s been fun. Two great songs in the final. I tipped Telephone Line as the winner but both these songs have been hugely popular at the ELO concerts I have been to.Enjoy your well earned summer break

Any of the final 16 could have won and I would have been cool with it. 🙂
