Looks like we have a bunch of techno/rave enthusiasts running around.
I wonder if we will see any expansion on Sweetie Belle's singing in season two?
Next poll: No clue!

Not surprised at all by poll results.
ReplyDeleteBut... But... Lyra...
ReplyDeleteNo Pinkie Pie listing?
ReplyDeleteClearly the solution is to have a poll on what the next poll should be.
ReplyDeletewho would'nt want to go to a DJ Pon-3 rave?
ReplyDeletePoor Lyra...
ReplyDeleteoh well, next time Octavia, next time
ReplyDeleteIMHO Lyra only finished so low because she's the only one who we've never actually seen playing her instrument (or singing in Sweetie Belle's case)
ReplyDeleteMy thought process when voting:
ReplyDelete"Well Octavia, obviously, she's the premier pony musician!"
"Oh but wait, Lyra doesn't get nearly enough recognition. Let's go with her."
"Oh snap! Vinyl Scratch I almost forgot! Clearly gotta go with the second greatest party pony!"
"OMG SWEETIE BELLE VOTE NOW!!!"
For me it was a 3-way tie between Lyra, Octavia and Scratch. I ended up picking Scratch, in the end, because I can be a *LOT* more casual at that type of show.
ReplyDeleteThe only one I wouldn't particularly be interested in is Sweetie Belle - mostly because I imagine her audience to be . . . well, closer to the MLP target demographic, lol.
Come on! Sweetie Belle has the greatest potential! Why didn't she win?
ReplyDeleteI only voted Sweetie Belle because she's so adorable. But I think Lyra might be a bit more interesting, just because of what she plays (or is supposed to play.)
ReplyDelete@GreatSnapper
ReplyDeleteJust what do you mean by "second greatest pony"?!? Surely that "second" was an accident!
I have recently been saying quite frequently that I hope Sweetie Belle gets more songs in season 2. I really liked Hush Now, Quiet Now.
WHY NO PINKIE PIE, SETH?
ReplyDeleteShe's the most talented music pony we know of. The other ponies have had 5 or less seconds of music time. (With the exception of Sweetie Belle)
Until Spinal Clop becomes a canon thing, I have to go with Scratch for favorite musician.
ReplyDeleteNext Poll: Best Non-Pony Character?
ReplyDeleteOr has that already been done?
@NDupree93
ReplyDeleteDon't think it's been done, but we don't want all the competitors to feel bad about themselves when Gummy wins by about million votes, do we?
This poll reminds me of that beautiful story that was posted recently centred around Lyra and her playing and singing. It was called "One Day They'll Throw Roses" or something similar.
ReplyDeleteExcuse me while I go cry my eyes out.
Almost voted for Sweetie because I like Applebloom.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit, I was really torn between DJ PON-3 and Octavia. So I went with Vinyl. Orchestrated music just doesn't normally have that bass, and Apocolyptipony hasn't been made canon.
ReplyDelete@Display Name
ReplyDeleteOh, I dunno. I'd be voting for Madame LeFlower personally.
I want to see Fluttershy in concert personally. She'd be an awesome folk singer!
ReplyDelete"Next poll: No clue!"
ReplyDeletePerhaps you could put up a poll about what the next poll should be about. :)
I think next poll should be about how much of Season 2: Ep 1 we've spoiled for ourselves. Choices being:
ReplyDelete1.) Other than September 17th, nothing
2.) One short one-sentence synopsis
3.) I've read the leaked text document
Of course, change the answers to your heart's content.
My ranking:
ReplyDelete1. Octavia / Vinyl Scratch (tie)
Don't make me choose, bro. I can't do it.
2. Sweetie Belle
Before she appears in a concert, she needs to become more confident in her singing abilities.
3. Lyra
Has she even touched a lyre? srsly, u guize.
Cutiemark Crusaders obviously
ReplyDeleteI voted other- Nyx on the Kazoo!!!!
ReplyDeleteRe: new poll:
ReplyDeleteChimera? When was there a Chimera in the show? And where's the giffon option?
Nuuuuuuuu I didn't win! But I did come in second. I forgive you all and I still feel loved. <3
ReplyDeleteI voted Lyra!!! but it was close between her and octavia, jut the solo lyre sounds more interesting than solo chello, i would think...
ReplyDeleteI voted for sweetie belle :(
ReplyDeletePEOPLE Y U NO VOTED LYRA?
ReplyDelete:(
I chose other because there was no "I'd watch them all" option. Because a Opera Rave amongst the four of them sounds mildly interesting if not a bit strange. Or you know, four different concerts for each of them works too. More shows to watch that way.
ReplyDeleteFor all we know Lyra only repares or makes them, maybe she doesn't know how to play
ReplyDeletePoll, I am disappoint.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI must confess myself a bit disappointed with the results, I'd far rather listen to Octavia than Vinyl Scratch any day. I was tempted to vote "other" for Rarity, just because her voice sounded so beautiful in Suited for Success.
ReplyDeleteJust wait until Lyra gets a scene where she plays.
ReplyDeleteOther.
ReplyDeleteLyra + Octavia
Animusic - Aquaharp

(Octavia doesn't come in until the end)
inb4 "but Octavia is an earth pony"
Well, cello is my favourite instrument, so I'm a little biased. Lyra may be my favourite background pony, but we have not once seen her actually play. Hopefully someday. . .
ReplyDeleteWell, Scratch clearly exploited her fanbase on facebook.
ReplyDeleteOctavia's humbleness will overshadow Vinyl's victory.
I voted for Octavia.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, but techno/rave music doesn't hold a candle to classical/orchestrated to me.
I would have preferred to listen to Octavia play, I prefer classical to hip-hop/rave/whatever kind of music you call what Vinyl plays.
ReplyDeleteBut then it hit me, what happens at each of their concerts? Being at a performance of Octavia's would mean sitting quietly in a seat without the chance to get those around me, unless it's a formal event like the Grand Galloping Gala. And my tastes towards those kind of events take a similar path as Princess Celestia's do (Boooooring!)
Now, while I may not be a dancer by any definition, being at a performance of Vinyl's would mean being able to move around, meet the other ponies (OTHER PONIES! WOOHOO!), and make a fool of myself if I so desire. That's the experience I would prefer, and that's why I voted as I did, for Vinyl Scratch.
I would love to see Octavia in concert. However, when you put Scratch in the mix, I have to go with what I'll have more fun doing.
ReplyDeleteI would so go to a CMC concert, wouldn't be boring :)
ReplyDeleteBTW, it you're going to give us an "Other" option, could you please provide a comment thread to say what our "Other" might be?
Sweetie Belle should've won man, that soulful voice trumps them all. ;)
ReplyDeleteWhen was this poll made?! O-O I didn't get to vote! D:
ReplyDeleteOh well good I suppose, I'd hate having to choose between Lyra and Octavia, and I would love to see Sweetie Belle sing more too. Those 3 would go well together I imagine.
>New Poll: The Best Non Pony Mythical Creature
ReplyDeleteNo griffin? Really? This is ridiculous, for all her personality quirks Gilda had astounding character design. Shame on you guys.
@MaKS
ReplyDeleteI'm just trying to figure out where chimera came from. I certainly don't remember one being in the show! Maybe they should switch that out with griffin.
@Laurence Brown
ReplyDeleteCome to think of it, I'm starting to suspect that's Seth's way of spelling "Hydra".
Either that, or it's a hypothetical/fanfiction thing rather that canon.
@marioandsonic
ReplyDeleteAmen.
Dvorak's "New World Symphony" was part of the first classical concert I attended about 8 years ago. I still rate it as one of the greatest moments of my life.
I said 'Other' for 'All the above', a duet with Lyra and Pony X, a duet with Scratch and Pony X, a concert of everypony individually, and a concert with myself.
ReplyDeletedarn it, why not Octavia!? I knew I should have went around all the librarys' computers voting for her
ReplyDeleteAs a fan of electronic dance music, I had to vote for Scratch :)
ReplyDeleteWtf?
ReplyDeleteWhere is the Lyra love?
You make Lyra cry u guiz.
And me.
)':
oh dear. uhm, i like cello music but it's usually meant to be sad. and, uhm, electronica? sorry ...
ReplyDeletea nice peaceful evening of lyre music. mmm, actually, i'm going to go find my old Total War soundtrack files. the medieval and roman era music is really relaxing.
here was my reasoning.
ReplyDelete1. Octavia: I've always really loved Double Bass Concertos and other Double Bass solo pieces. I make classical music and with that also comes my obligatory classical music bias.
2. Pinkie pie (Other): Because she sings so much Daniel Ingram music and skillfully plays multiple instruments simultaneously.
3. Scratch: Oonts oonts is so easy to appreciate. Thus I appreciate it.
4. Sweetie Belle: While I'd love to support a fellow vocalist, she isn't that great. Makes sense seeing as how she is still just a filly though.
5. Lyra: Sits funny in the show... which is entertaining I guess... but I've never really cared too much for lyres/harps/blah as the sole feature of a piece.
I love Sweetie Belle's dumbshit character but i hate her singing, so she's out. I hate techno and rave, scratch is out.
ReplyDeleteI do like harps but cellos take the cake with me, Octavia it is. Plus, the structure and sound of classical music resembles that of many metal bands i like, so it was kind of an easy pick. :)
I dislike techno but I voted Pon-3 because frankly, based on her looks, she'd try to put on a show, instead of just doing a performance
ReplyDeleteYou realize that there's enough people who didn't vote for Octavia or Scratch that if they only had those two choices, Octavia could easily beat out Scratch.
ReplyDeleteAnd, of course, it could just as easily go the other way to give Scratch a landslide victory.
As per Sweetie singing in season 2, I wouldn't doubt it, but she'd still refuse to sing to an audience, citing nervousness.
I voted Lyra.
ReplyDeleteIf Octavia and Scratch teamed up to perform something like this...
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdXkSjpvF74
I wanted to see Sweetie Belle win. An 8 years old who can sing like a middle aged Motown signer is always worth the ticket price.
ReplyDeleteOctavia was second for me, I'm a fan of classical music. I never heard what a Lyra sounds like. I should check that out.
I am shocked and disappointed by the lack of Gryphon in the newest poll
ReplyDeleteI picked Vinyl Scratch because I saw this poll right after a deadmau5 concert, so I had electronica on the brain.
ReplyDeleteI picked Scratch because, not for the fact that she's my favorite pony, but because I love electronic music above all else, and I love all those blinking lights and all the energy one of those concerts radiate.
ReplyDeleteSilly ponies, Pinkie Pie is obviously the most musically talented.
ReplyDeleteSweetie Belle, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and Roseluck all together as one band. So other.
ReplyDeleteI voted for Lyra because we haven't seen her perform yet.
ReplyDeleteFlutterguy.
ReplyDeleteSinging anything.
Opera, country, 'Hop, Skip and Jump', anything.
I voted Octavia over Vinyl for the sake of my hearing. I have nothing against electronic music, but raves are too loud. Raves will make you deaf, symphony orchestras will not
ReplyDeleteWhere the hell is the "Gryphon" or Hydra option in the newest poll. I'm not voting until I see the former of the two in it.
ReplyDeleteWho else wanted to vote Fluttershy?
ReplyDeleteShame on all of you! How could you not include Fluttershy!? I voted other, since you all fail to realise her potential.
ReplyDeleteI would give up my Xbox to go to ONE Fluttershy concert. Her voice is angelic.
I wanted to vote Fluttershy too, but I went with the 2nd best option I could vote for, the hottest DJ in Equestria. *Is a big fan of every type of electronic/techno music.*
ReplyDeleteto be fair, we've never actually seen Lyra play an instrument...
ReplyDeleteProud to say that'd I'd prefer a Pinkie concert. *Rewatches Over a Barrel
ReplyDeleteScratch or Octavia... hard choice. I'd love to go to both, personally.
ReplyDelete@Guywithpasta Wait, leaked text document? Since when?
