Results! We have them!

Our quarter finalists have been decided! At Home, At Work, At Play, The Number One Song In Heaven, My Baby's Taking Me Home and Dick Around are our final four. Below the cut you can see the route our quarter finalists have traversed to make it this far.

Congratulations for making it this far to the songs that sadly couldn't make it any further: Amateur Hour, Eaten By The Monster Of Love, When Do I Get To Sing "My Way" and Take Me For A Ride. No small feat!

The semi-finals start tomorrow. Only 2 polls left for this next round, so keep an eye out!

A little Valentine’s gift for you and your beloved ones

[crystalblast]

✨🔥Listen up Sparks Nation!🔥✨

This is Russell Mael speaking, coming to you with the most important announcement of your life!

Being so handsome and desirable, people come up to me all the time, saying "Oh Russell, we wish there was a way to show our adoration for you all year round instead of just one day!"

Today i am here to tell you: I hear you, and after issuing an official appeal with the International Calendar Association, I am more than excited to announce your prayers have been answered.

It is official!! From now on, everyone on the planet earth will be celebrating Valentine's day on the 14th of every month, twelve times a year, every year, FOREVER!

That being said, get ahead of your Valentine's day shopping by stocking up on the new Russell X MAD! card NOW and secure 15% off using the code "DESIRABLE100" at checkout!

After the messy recall of thousands of Sparks themed Valentine's Cards last year, Ron, wanting to distance himself from whatever Russell has planned for this year, bought a one-way ticket to Balboa Island and has not been seen at Sparks HQ since.

A postcard containing his touching Valentine's message to fans just arrived here at Sparks HQ this morning, and while we do hope he enjoys his day off at the beach, we also want to use this opportunity to remind him of the important prior commitment he has coming up tomorrow. Be there or be square!

some theories as to why ron keeps posing like this:

to hide the david lynch knuckle tattoo he got after seeing john waters' cecil b. demented

he was left hanging after no one wanted to take him up on his offer of a "high five you'll never forget"

he can't tell the difference between a camera and a firearm

his hands aren't properly attached to his arms and they would fall off were he to strike any other pose

he's showing his empty hands after making a small object disappear

ever since the woofer in tweeters clothing photoshoot, he struggles with trust issues so whenever his picture is taken he poses in a way that increases his chances of falling safely

he was just asked how old he is but has a hard time with numbers

he's trapped behind an invisible wall

he's letting his hands air dry after visiting a bathroom that ran out of paper towels

he's operating the camera via telekinesis

Dear Russell,

my vacation at the raisin farm is simply wonderful. I have enclosed some raisins for you in the ziploc bag on the right - enjoy!

Best, Ron

We haven't forgotten the tournament even if it may seem like we have. (No, really. We didn't forget!) Anyway, here's that classic photo of Russell seal-diving, updated for 2025.

All that to say... the results of round 4 are in!

Apparently round 4 was the quarter finals. I don't know these things.. [Edit: wait. I guess these are the quarter finals. Point proven, I don't know these things.] ...so anyway. Up next: the quarter-finals! Only 4 polls left in this round! Things truly are getting tough out there.

We are saying goodbye to Moon Over Kentucky, Goofing Off, Angst In My Pants, Sherlock Holmes, (When I Kiss You) I Hear Charlie Parker Playing, The Rhythm Thief, Edith Piaf (Said It Better Than Me) and I Wish You Were Fun.

Please give a warm applause to your semi- quarter-finalists!

The Number One Song In Heaven, Take Me For A Ride, Dick Around, Amateur Hour, My Baby's Taking Me Home, Eaten By The Monster Of Love, When Do I Get To Sing "My Way" and At Home, At Work, At Play.

The first poll will drop tomorrow.

Fortunately i managed to read their lips immediately. Here's what they're arguing about:
