Sexiest Musician Tournament 2020

I ended up running the Sexiest Actress Tournament last year, and I'll do it again later this year. I'm thinking of running the same tournament for musicians in March (although probably with 64 entrants in a straight knockout bracket).

I've looked back and I can't see any competitions for musicians before, and they only occasionally make appearances in the Top 100 sexiest Women. Obviously it tends to be all about the models in this forum, so I wondered if anyone was interested? 

Sure, sounds like fun! 

No kidding, I was just thinking we should have a Musicians tournament yesterday. 

Sounds good to me.   

i'm in!

OK, so we'll start with nominations, exactly the same as the Actresses tournament. You have until the end of April to post  up to 20 musicians.

Ideally they should have a thread in the Female Musicians forum, although I'll be a bit lenient as there aren't quite so many musicians to pick from. So for example Selena Gomez is in the Actresses Forum, but she wasn't nominated for the Actresses tournament and is clearly well know as a singer. I'm not going to allow people who are primarily actresses or models who have released albums or songs; Scarlett Johansson for example. If they're primarily a musician but they don't have a thread it's Ok to nominate them and I'll see if I can get some pictures.

The more nominations a musician receives the higher their ranking in the tournament bracket, so don't worry about other people's nominations, just pick your favourite musicians.

Musicians will be judged on how they look in 2020. There is no upper age limit, but I will be using recent pictures.

I'm aiming for a 64 player knockout tournament, but I'll see how many nominations we get. To give you a hand I've made a list of popular musicians and those whose thread has been updated recently here, but this isn't a comprehensive list so take your time. Feel free to update and change your nominations.

Thanks for taking part!

Yes, of course! I'm using two pictures per person and they have to be fairly recent.

OK, time to get this show on the road!
