    Nothing Compares 2U Sinead O'Connor ; probably my favourite songs when I was a child.

    Don't Speak No Doubt ; I have a love/hate relationship with this song. Its not the best No Doubt song and is often overplayed which can annoy me, but ultimately it's still great.

    Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) Eurythmics: just an awesome song
    Don't Speak No Doubt: this is the lesser of the 3 remaining evils IMO. it does get overplayed so maybe i'm suffering from dont speak fatigue!

    Nothing Compares 2U Sinead O'Connor
    Don't Speak No Doubt

    Necro might be SH1TE, but I don't think he's that petty to be fair to him... :pac:


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,336 ✭✭✭✭Zaph


    Well I lost Black Velvet, but at least we're seeing the back of Atomic, which was the one song of the Final 8 I really didn't care for.

    No I prefer to resolve my issues with Sinead O Connor democratically ;)

    No bans but all Sinead voters go on the NPS.
    Necro's Permanent sh1tlist. :eek:

    Most of us are there already from previous competitions.

    I like Atomic but if I was to pick a Blondie song for this competition it would have to be Call Me - very surprised nobody nominated it.


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,336 ✭✭✭✭Zaph


    Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) Eurythmics
    Nothing Compares 2U Sinead O'Connor


    But tbh none of the final four really do much for me.

    Nah I've a head like a sieve for who displeases me in contests so the slate is wiped clean with the beginning of each new one :D

    I can't even hold a grudge for an entire contest. I usually forget halfway through a round. :D

    If I were up to 8 votes, Sinead would now be through. But it ain’t so she ain’t.

    I chose Heart of Glass, I was sure Call Me would have got picked by someone else.

    It is the old 'Gas Leak Effect'.

    And Fichael becomes Necros favourite person as he has put Sinead O’Connor’s Nothing compares 2U into the final!

    Worth waking up for, for sure.

    Though obviously Sinead's pure brilliance didn't need me anyway.

    I’ll give it till 1pm and whoever is in the lead will go through. If it’s a tie then the one that received the highest score. If that’s tied, the one that received the most 20s.

    Are two songs obligatory, ie. is Teardrop definitely out? (Massively overrated anyway, so no loss, I'm just curious)

    I've only just realised that ETA on boards is an acronym for Edited To Add...

    For so long, I've been wondering why people were using Estimated Time of Arrival wrong...
