    China In Your Hand - pretty meh on both of these, especially with so many heavy hitters already knocked out.

    Alone - can't beat an epic power ballad.

    Edge of Seventeen - My only remaining nominee. Hope it gets through.

    The Boys of Summer - the song I prefer.

    Stevie Nicks the only obvious one.



    Don Henley because the other is crap.

    China in Your Hand for the same reason, but meh.


    I really like both in Match 2. Ugh.
    I'll come back to it.

    Edit:
    Sorry saying Stevie Nicks was obvious is not to diss Cyndi Lauper - that's a great song too. Edge of Seventeen is just amazing.

    Match 2... urghhhh... okay, Blondie.

    I know it makes no difference but the Pink Floyd final score is missing - in case an independent observer is around!

    You Give Love a Bad Name

    Tainted Love

    Total Eclipse of the Heart

    (I Just) Died In Your Arms Tonight

    Reasons: Not that it matters because the wrong songs keep advancing through, but I vote for these ones as they're the better songs, some tough choices though to be fair.
