R 2 Match 17

The Primitives – Crash (a decent song, the other one just annoys the fcuk out of me)

Also Starring LeVar Burton wrote: »

Crash - I adore this song, it makes it on to nearly all of my playlists, and its a shame its up against Blue, because this could potentially be the end of the line for a great tune.

Deleted User wrote: »

#17 - Crash - I'd vote for almost anything ahead of Blue, which I despise and which will probably prevail anyway. Nonetheless Crash is quite a nice track and one I was unfamiliar with before the contest, so thanks to whoever nominated it Zaph for introducing me.

Crash

Both good songs up against terrible ones

Match 17

Crash. Great song, one of my nominations and that Blue song is one of the biggest streaming piles of sh*the ever unleashed on an unsuspecting public.

Crash. Two good songs, the others are just pure cheese lets be honest

17. Crash, even though parts of Blue are catchy.

Didn't actually expect this to get through... Whoop!

Tell me how

You know yourself why you didn't expect it to get through. It's Garbage (and not of the early 90's soft rock band variety).

Vote - Kung fu fighting its one of the best novelty songs of all time

Le sigh. First of my noms to be eliminated. Thought it would get further if I'm honest.

I wouldn't call the band Garbage "soft rock". Alternative rock or electro-rock maybe, wouldn't say there's anything soft about them though; I'd say Shirley Manson would give you a smack if you told her she was a soft rock singer!

Crash is a phenomenal tune and rightly deserved to get through.

I only thought it wouldn't get through because there's been far too many poor decisions being made by people and quality songs have been falling by the wayside in favour of far inferior tripe. Some people are finally starting to see sense obviously.

Yeah when it was up against Flock Of Seagulls... I Ran should've gotten through and we all know it... To say I was angry over that result would be an understatement.

Could be a future competition, the worst songs, and you vote to save a song you like from advancing. Songs with lowest numbers of votes proceed to next round.

R 2 Match 17 - Eiffel 65 - Blue. Get in to the next round!! You don't need to explain yourself.

R 2 Match 18 - The J. Geils Band - Centerfold. Close call as not a massive fan of either song but this one gets it as it less whiny than the other.

If you are of a scerten age that blue song is huge, it just has 1999 written all over it,

The other has Tuesday afternoon clare fm writin all over it though...

Cos it's like that and that's the way it is.

Won't be upset if Breakfast at at Tiffany's gets through though.

Check this out!

Also Starring LeVar Burton

I Touch Myself - it's just a far better song at the end of the day. Sorry Monty Python.

Breakfast At Tiffany's - some people seem to really hate it, but it was at one stage during the nineties my favourite song for several years, and will always be a classic in my eyes.

Electric Nitwit

Divinyls - I love Bright Side but I think this is far enough

Deep Blue Something - dictionary definition of a one hit wonder!

#19 - A tough choice as both are worthy. I'll vote for I Touch Myself but I'm happy with whichever goes through.

#20 - Another tough choice here, for the exact opposite reason. I'll vote for It's Like That as being marginally less awful.

Ficheall

#19 Monty Python, but happy either way


#20 Breakfast at Tiffany's because the other is just noise.

quickbeam

Monty Python because it makes me happy but the other one is good too.

Deep Blue Sometimes for the memories.

Spook_ie

I touch myself just a nice tune

Breakfast at Tiffaney's just prefer it

Omackeral

Always Look on the Bright Side of Life is the most played song at UK funerals. That's interesting. It gets my vote.

It's Like That is upbeat, has a slamming video and has RUN DMC. Get's my vote.

Always look on the bright side greatest song ever created

Sheridan81

Divinyls-I Touch Myself

Cause the other song is awful.

Deep Blue Something-Breakfast At Tiffany's

Classic song, ultimate OHW.

I can see it being played at funerals where people want to raise people's spirits but not so sure it gets played more than the likes of My Way or Wind Beneath My Wings, in fact the Independent does a top 10 and Bright side of life only comes in at #10

Divinyls and Deep Blue Something are through I think.

Good wins.

It's just better imo. Carry your heart into my arms and all that malarkey

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Wicked Game - a really tough one because its upbeat fun song vs dramatic emotional song. Break My Stride is great, but I think Wicked Game is the better choice here.

Waiting For A Star To Fall - this one wasn't as tough, but not easy either. Both good and enjoyable songs songs, Waiting For A Star just happens to be a much better one.

quickbeam

Wicked Game is an amazing song, and sexy as hell.

Waiting for a Girl Like you is the better of those two.

Electric Nitwit

Wicked Game
Waiting For a Star To Fall

Both iconic tracks and better than their opponents

#21 - Wicked Game because it's simply a class song.

#22 - Breakout. Just prefer it. Besides, Waiting For A Star to Fall is almost certainly gonna win this one anyway but at least now it won't be a total wipeout!

Omackeral

Break My Stride

Waiting on a Star to Fall


Not bothering my hole giving reasons this time because loads of other fckers haven't bothered

Squall Leonhart

Chris Isaak and Big Meets Girl.

Just better songs!

Wicked Game - this should win the entire comp

Breakout - i was always playing this song. Love it.

Ficheall

Break my Stride and Breakout.



Neither great, but the best options from a pile of crap.

Kolido

Chris Isaak and boy meets girl advance to round 3.

Matthew Wilder - Break My Stride 2 Vs 6 Chris Isaak - Wicked Game.
Boy Meets Girl - Waiting For A Star To Fall 6 Vs 1 Swing Out Sister - Breakout

R 2 Match 23


Peter Sarsted - Where do you go to, my lovely

Vs

Republica – Ready To Go

R 2 Match 24


OMC - How Bizarre

Vs

Gnarls Barkley - Crazy

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Ready To Go - because I'm standing on the rooftop shouting out, baby I'm ready to go!!! And I'm ready for this song to get through to the next round, because it definitely should. Far superior song.

How Bizarre - it's a thousand times better a song. Crazy is crap and shouldn't have made it through round 1, and a Gnarls Barkley aka. Cee-Lo Green (or whatever the hell he wants to call himself) lookalike threatened to kill me once outside a bar in LA and I had to make a quick getaway in a Limo, so f**k that guy.

Where Do You Go To - still not sure I like it, but it's better than the other.

Crazy - it's decent and I *hate* the other.

Squall Leonhart

Peter Sarstedt, I just like the poshness of the lyrics

How Bizarre, fun song, lovely guitar riff

Kolido

Im going to vote here for republica and omc. Ready to go is just a great upbeat song and the singer was in one of chesney hawkes one and only videos, a song that should be still here. Omc because I really like it and I realy hate crazy.

How Bizarre and Ready To Go are my choices here.

Crazy is a good song but suffered a bit from constant overplaying.
And Where Do You Go To is just cheese, and not good cheese. Average cheese at best.

Ficheall

Peter Sarstedt because it's a great song, and

Crazy because the guy in the other song isn't actually singing, just shouting..
