Female Song Tournament.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Nice job throwing in a big word for the Hell of it.

Of course the radio plays a big role in the spread of popular music. In case you didn't know, most of the big names in this tournament had at least some radio exposure. Radio used to be pretty good.

That's fine if you prefer music that never makes it onto mainstream radio stations, that's your "prerogative", but the fact is, A lot of the great classics were on radio first.

Yeah, this isn't a radio bashing discussion, you said Pink is a rare case of a good singer these days, so because that implies an insanely limited perspective of just how many musicians are out there that you evidently don't know about, who are equally or more competent than a pop singer, that's patently false. What I listen to isn't really relevant.

1. Divinyls

Thank you for voting for Tina, Gunslinger. You know how to spot a real woman.

[The Gunslinger45]

Thank you for voting for Tina, Gunslinger. You know how to spot a real woman.

You know I can't vote against a black woman in this tourni. lol

[Sexy Celebrity]

I think this is why Cyndi Lauper beating Tina Turner REALLY, REALLY irritates me ---

Black women are just more musical than white women. They are more talented.

I nominated a lot of black women (Pointer Sisters, Janet Jackson, Tina, The Supremes, Sheila E.) but I didn't nominate enough. TLC was considered. So was Beyonce.

I am rooting for a black woman (or women) to win this tournament.

[jiraffejustin]

I haven't voted yet, but the only vote that would make a difference is breaking the tie in the 2nd match. I am voting for Heart.

[Sexy Celebrity]

How awful that Bette Midler and Janet Jackson will have to do battle in the next round.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Let's have a song tournament where the theme is that all 128 songs were nominated by ME.

[Miss Vicky]

How awful that Bette Midler and Janet Jackson will have to do battle in the next round.

Not necessarily.

I'll be sending all of the round one winners into random drawing to determine round two matches.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Really? But Jiraffe was doing that tournament website thingie... you can't disrupt how that plays out.

[Sexy Celebrity]

We need to do MoFo Idol. Where we all record ourselves singing songs and vote each other out.

[Miss Vicky]

We need to do MoFo Idol. Where we all record ourselves singing songs and vote each other out.

No.

[Sexy Celebrity]

No.

Oh, come on. We'll even let you enter your rats into the competition. All you have to do is sing for them yourself and then chipmunk your voice using an audio program and say it's your rats singing.

[jiraffejustin]

I can disrupt how that plays out.

[Mmmm Donuts]

Oh, come on. We'll even let you enter your rats into the competition. All you have to do is sing for them yourself and then chipmunk your voice using an audio program and say it's your rats singing.

I don't think they would make it that far in the competition if that happened. Chipmunk voices make me strangle the closest person.

[Miss Vicky]

1. Bonnie Bramlett - You Really Got A Hold On Me
2. Melissa Etheridge - Your Little Secret
3. Janis Joplin - Cry Baby
4. Alicia Keys - Fallin'
5. Cocteau Twins - Beatrix (didn't like this one, but it's not Bjork so it gets my vote)
6. Donna Summer - She Works Hard For The Money
7. Joan Jett - I Love Rock N Roll
8. Avril Lavigne - My Happy Ending (I really don't like Avril and it hurts me to vote for her, but the other song was worse)

[Miss Vicky]

I don't think they would make it that far in the competition if that happened. Chipmunk voices make me strangle the closest person.

Makes mental note to nominate lots of chipmunks if Mr. Donuts participates in the Christmas tourney.

[honeykid]

"Time After Time", besides "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun"

She's just a dolt who dresses in stupid clothes and stupid hair and talks in a stupid voice and made a few stupid songs which she milks to death. Every time the bitch goes on a talk show, she has to sing "Time After Time" because without it, she's a nobody. She's like a zombie who crawled out of the '80s graveyard and needs putting down. Now she takes up gay causes and tours with Margaret Cho to make herself appear relevant, but the woman hasn't been successful in music since her one day in the '80s. Ever since then she's been on a manic frenzy to act like it's still going on.

I agree. But that Tina song was crap. :D The only other Cyndi Lauper song I can think of that I like is I Drove All Night, and that's not one of her songs anyway.

Let's have a song tournament where the theme is that all 128 songs were nominated by ME.

The horror...

[Sexy Celebrity]

Oh, no. Forget the Christmas Song Tournament idea.

[jiraffejustin]

I love that we are just calling him Mr. Donuts now. I started that.

[Mmmm Donuts]

Makes mental note to nominate lots of chipmunks if Mr. Donuts participates in the Christmas tourney.

The closest person to me would probably be Sexy, so you might be on to something there. :shrug:

[Miss Vicky]

Oh, no. Forget the Christmas Song Tournament idea.

Nope. I said I would do it and I'm gonna do it.

I'm kidding about the chipmunks anyway. That sh*t's annoying. Unless of course somebody nominates you know what. Then it's on.

[Mmmm Donuts]

I love that we are just calling him Mr. Donuts now. I started that.

I don't know how I feel about this.

[Sexy Celebrity]

That Tina song - "BETTER BE GOOD TO ME" -- was ON FIRE FIERCE.

"Time After Time" -- I admit I like the song -- but it is a whiny crybaby little number. Sang by a dodo bird. Loved by them, too.

[Miss Vicky]

I don't know how I feel about this.

You should feel flattered that people feel the need to give you a nickname. It means you're one of us now.

[jiraffejustin]

I don't know how I feel about this.

Don't even hint that you don't like it, Sexy will torture you with it until he dies.

[Mmmm Donuts]

You should feel flattered that people feel the need to give you a nickname. It means you're one of us now.

I don't know how I feel about this.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Actually, I don't really mind Chipmunks Christmas music at all. I used to listen to Chipmunks cassette tapes as a kid, all the time -- I even had the Christmas album on tape.

[jiraffejustin]

You should feel flattered that people feel the need to give you a nickname. It means you're one of us now.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9C4uTEEOJlM

[Sexy Celebrity]

I gave him the name "Mmmm Donuts." It was my idea. I told it to him in a PM.

[Sexy Celebrity]

At first I recommended "Homer" but then I thought of "Mmmm Donuts" and said I liked it better. He must have, too.

[Miss Vicky]

Actually, I don't really mind Chipmunks Christmas music at all. I used to listen to Chipmunks cassette tapes as a kid, all the time -- I even had the Christmas album on tape.

So did I.

But they're still annoying as hell. I'd rather hear them on a continuous loop all day than here that other song once though.

[Sexy Celebrity]

So did I.

But they're still annoying as hell. I'd rather hear them on a continuous loop all day than here that other song once though.

You mean this song?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9BZDpni56Y

[Miss Vicky]

I hate you.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I actually consider it my favorite Christmas song. I hope it wins.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I'm gonna nominate the Max Headroom Christmas song:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vW6p2AvBnMo

I almost nominated this for Song Tournament 3. I have really been aching for a Christmas Song Tournament.

[Miss Vicky]

that Mccartney song makes me want to hurt people.

[Sexy Celebrity]

that Mccartney song makes me want to hurt people.

GOOD. You have a lot of repressed rage you need to release.

[Mmmm Donuts]

Oh, THAT song haha.

Yes, that song makes me want to puch somebody in the face.

You should take karate lessons.

[Sexy Celebrity]

God, I shouldn't have drank all that energy drink....

[Mmmm Donuts]

God, I shouldn't have drank all that energy drink....

http://www.bubblews.com/assets/images/news/1048638027_1380798328.png

[Miss Vicky]

Vote, MoFos.

[Miss Vicky]

1. Bonnie Bramlett - You Really Got A Hold On Me vs Roxette - It Must Have Been Love

I quite like Wonderful Christmas Time.

I don't love you anymore.

2. Laura Branigan (I love this song)
3. Janis Joplin
4. Alicia Keys
5. Bjork
6. Donna Summer
7. Janet Jackson
8. Avril Lavigne

[Miss Vicky]

Looks like Etheridge is gonna lose, judging by the votes so far.
On the other hand, Bonnie Bramlett might actually have a chance. :)

[Sexy Celebrity]

I've never been into Melissa Etheridge...

I like that Roxette song, but thought Bonnie Bramlett sounded better and more powerful. Plus I'm helping Miss Vicky. Plus Bonnie's a family friend. Sort of.

[Miss Vicky]

Well the Roxette song is my nomination too, but I'd rather see Bonnie move on. Especially since Bekka's already out.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I really don't know why I nominated that Janet Jackson song. For starters, the video takes forever to start playing the song. Second, it won't win. Third, it won't win.

[Miss Vicky]

I like that Janet Jackson song, but I like the Joan Jett song better.

If I had nominated Janet, it would've been one of these:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4i9Mba9keHA

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96hmKX3Hd7c

[honeykid]

I don't love you anymore.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSH8s6EnNCY

Well the Roxette song is my nomination too, but I'd rather see Bonnie move on. Especially since Bekka's already out.
So I voted for your song anyway? The other one I'm not voting for because, well, one, I find Melissa very hit and miss and, two, I nominated the Laura Brannigan song and it's brilliant!

[Sexy Celebrity]

I didn't think of those J.J. songs. I don't think I've ever heard "Again" before (sounds boring).

I almost nominated some of her Control songs. That's my favorite album of hers. Wait a minute -- I DID nominate one of them -- "The Pleasure Principle." But I almost nominated "What Have You Done For Me Lately?" and "When I Think Of You."

[Sexy Celebrity]

When I first saw (and still look at) Miss Vicky's nominations, I thought, "Oh, God, she hit up a lesbian jukebox."

[Mmmm Donuts]

When I first saw (and still look at) Miss Vicky's nominations, I thought, "Oh, God, she hit up a lesbian jukebox."

Lol!

[Sexy Celebrity]

I almost nominated this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMXuuYnoRdI

It's a nice song and the guy in the video is hot.

[jiraffejustin]

I think the only Janet song I actually like is Nasty.

[Mmmm Donuts]

He's dressed like he should be carrying around a pocket knife, and be part of the Greasers gang.

[Miss Vicky]

So I voted for your song anyway?

Yes, but you voted for the wrong one.

When I first saw (and still look at) Miss Vicky's nominations, I thought, "Oh, God, she hit up a lesbian jukebox."

Um, okay.

Lang and Etheridge are lesbians. As far as I know the rest are straight. It's not like I nominated the Indigo Girls or some sh*t.

[Miss Vicky]

I almost nominated this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMXuuYnoRdI

It's a nice song and the guy in the video is hot.

That's a good song. I considered nominating Amy Grant, but my favorite song she's done is a duet and wouldn't qualify.

Michael Keaton has nice armpits.

4. Alicia Keys - Fallin' vs Robyn - Don't F*cking Tell Me What To Do I can't stand Alicia Keys, but I really don't like that other song.

5. Bjork - Unison vs Cocteau Twins - Beatrix Love both songs

6. Donna Summer - She Works Hard For the Money vs Martika - Toy Soldiers

7. [B]Joan Jett - I Love Rock N Roll vs Janet Jackson - Miss You Much

[Sexy Celebrity]

Who the HELL is Martika and why is her "Toy Soldiers" song even a match for my Donna Summer?

Oh my god. You people and your weak musical tastes. I hope Bonnie Bramlett sits on this competition and squashes it.

[Sexy Celebrity]

This is why a woman could never win in a general song tournament.

[Miss Vicky]

You don't remember "Toy Soldiers"? It was a number one hit back in 1989. It's a decent song, but I prefer the Donna Summer song.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I vaguely remember it. It didn't leave a lasting impression. I remember the movie, Toy Soldiers, though, with Sean Astin.

A one hit wonder! All of you people just wag your tongues at the sight of a long lost, forgotten, dark haired, pasty faced, anorexic emotional train wreck that nobody else loves. You can't get enough. The more into the sewers they are, the more you carry them out and proclaim you've found the daughters of Jesus.

[Miss Vicky]

It's a song tournament not an artist tournament. This isn't a question of who do people prefer - Donna Summer or Martika - it's a question of what song do they prefer. One hit wonders have just as much place in the tournament as any other.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I doubt that in every case, people are voting strictly because of the song itself.

[Miss Vicky]

No, of course not. But the tournament is supposed to be about the songs so people have every right to nominate and vote for somebody like Martika if they damn well want to.

[wintertriangles]

I doubt that in every case, people are voting strictly because of the song itself.Just because all your noms are losing doesn't mean there is a conspiracy. On the contrary maybe you should listen to more stuff than what plays in Salvation Army's "women power" radio mix.

[Miss Vicky]

Damn it, I should have nominated this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIbXvaE39wM

I totally forgot about them.

[The Gunslinger45]

1. Bonnie Bramlet
2. Laura Branigan ( I love this song)
3. Jennifer Love Hewitt
4. Alicia Keys (At least this was music)
5. Cocteau Twins
6. Donna Summers
7. Joan Jett (Greatly prefer rock to pop)
8. Kate Bush (Waiting for Canada to apologize for this woman's singing)

[Mmmm Donuts]

Just because all your noms are losing doesn't mean there is a conspiracy. On the contrary maybe you should listen to more stuff than what plays in Salvation Army's "women power" radio mix.

I'm surprised you don't believe in this conspiracy. You seem like the kind of guy who would believe anything.

[wintertriangles]

I'm surprised you don't believe in this conspiracy. You seem like the kind of guy who would believe anything.Heh are you talking to a mirror?

[Sexy Celebrity]

Just because all your noms are losing doesn't mean there is a conspiracy. On the contrary maybe you should listen to more stuff than what plays in Salvation Army's "women power" radio mix.

Donna Summer may be on their radio mix, but Martika's CD (or cassette tape) is in Salvation Army's $1.00 grab bag.

[Mmmm Donuts]

Heh are you talking to a mirror?

Nope, I'd never mistake you for myself.

[weeman]

1. Roxette - It Must Have Been Love

2. Laura Brannigan - Self Control

I must have missed almost the entirety of Song Tournament 3 :sick:

[Sexy Celebrity]

I must have missed almost the entirety of Song Tournament 3 :sick:

"Take On Me" won. You nominated it in the '80s Song Tournament.

[weeman]

"Take On Me" won. You nominated it in the '80s Song Tournament.

Weeman: Winner.

[Mmmm Donuts]

Weeman: Winner.

Hey, hold on a minute. I might have something to say about that...I'd be happy to share the win, though.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Yes, Mr. Donuts nominated it in "Song Tournament 3."

[The Gunslinger45]

First it was Moviemakerking, then MMK Donuts, then Mmmm donuts, now Mr Donuts. Dude you are the P. Diddy of this forum.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Mmmk Donuts was a retarded name Yoda tried to give him "so it resembles MovieMakerKing." It doesn't count.

[Sexy Celebrity]

His first name is Mmmm. His last name is Donuts. Thus, Mr. Donuts.

[The Gunslinger45]

Mmmk Donuts was a retarded name Yoda tried to give him "so it resembles MovieMakerKing." It doesn't count.

Just cuz it was silly does not mean it does not count.

[wintertriangles]

Nope, I'd never mistake you for myself.Well, duh, we have different avatars

[honeykid]

Who the HELL is Martika and why is her "Toy Soldiers" song even a match for my Donna Summer?
Because some people prefer it, (like me :p) and I like Donna Summer and nominated a song of hers as well.

I vaguely remember it. It didn't leave a lasting impression. I remember the movie, Toy Soldiers, though, with Sean Astin.
I liked that film.

A one hit wonder! All of you people just wag your tongues at the sight of a long lost, forgotten, dark haired, pasty faced, anorexic emotional train wreck that nobody else loves.

And then walked away from the business because she didn't like being in a world where she was the centre and couldn't do anything normal. I also wish there were more "dark haired, pasty faced, anorexic emotional mess" if they looked like Martika. ;)

But, as it's you SC and I like you, I'll post this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8LMUq045e8

Go to 2:15 to start nodding in agreement.
Damn it, I should have nominated this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIbXvaE39wM

I totally forgot about them.
I was listening to that last night because I didn't nominate it. :)

BTW, don't you have to vote for all the ties now? I only ask because WT missed two.

[Miss Vicky]

BTW, don't you have to vote for all the ties now? I only ask because WT missed two.

That was the rule in the tournaments that I ran, but I don't think J.J. ever specified any voting rules for this one.

[jiraffejustin]

1. Roxette - It Must Have Been Love

2. Laura Brannigan - Self Control

3. Janis Joplin - Cry Baby

4. Robyn - Don't F*cking Tell Me What To Do

5. Bjork - Unison

6. Martika - Toy Soldiers

7. Joan Jett - I Love Rock N Roll

8. Kate Bush - Cloudbusting

[Sexy Celebrity]

Honeykid, I don't think those other Martika songs were really hits over here in the States... I know that was a long time ago and I was a child, but I was a child that watched MTV and VH1 all the time. That "Toy Soldiers" song -- yeah, I kinda remembered it. I remember it more than any other Martika song.

By my definition, she's a one hit wonder.

[Sexy Celebrity]

And because Jiraffe just voted for the bitch, I hope her and her toy soldiers all burn in Hell with Whoopi.

[jiraffejustin]

Votings closed with the exception of:

1. Bonnie Bramlett - You Really Got A Hold On Me vs Roxette - It Must Have Been Love

which is tied and needs to be broken

[jiraffejustin]

Martika > Sexy Celebrity

[Sexy Celebrity]

Yeah, yeah. Martika's days are numbered. I, however, am forever.

[LP Quagmire]

Because some people prefer it, (like me :p) and I like Donna Summer and nominated a song of hers as well.


I liked that film.

And then walked away from the business because she didn't like being in a world where she was the centre and couldn't do anything normal. I also wish there were more "dark haired, pasty faced, anorexic emotional mess" if they looked like Martika. ;)

But, as it's you SC and I like you, I'll post this.

Go to 2:15 to start nodding in agreement.

I was listening to that last night because I didn't nominate it. :)

BTW, don't you have to vote for all the ties now? I only ask because WT missed two.

I love "Martika's Kitchen" and "Coloured Kisses."

Votings closed with the exception of:

1. Bonnie Bramlett - You Really Got A Hold On Me vs Roxette - It Must Have Been Love

which is tied and needs to be broken

Roxette - It Must Have Been Love

[Miss Vicky]

Roxette - It Must Have Been Love

Damn it.

[honeykid]

Roxette - It Must Have Been Love
Is the correct answer. :)

Finally. Now we can have the next set.

God -- don't go to page 18. Tons of Matika Youtube videos to slow down your computer.

We should get DOUBLE the amount of songs tonight since there wasn't ANYTHING to vote on today!

8. Diana Ross - Chain Reaction (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwCfotiJSZA)

[Sexy Celebrity]

Can't believe Diana Ross is winning. Normally I'd probably go, "VOTE DIANA ROSS!" and I've never really cared for Mariah Carey, but that particular song by her is so much better than that Diana Ross thing.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I think I heard that Mariah Carey song on Sex and the City, which helped it for me.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Oh, wait, no -- Sex and the City used this song, apparently:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pahij2ZMkMw

Mariah Carey stole from this song.

[jiraffejustin]

1. K.D. Lang - Constant Craving vs Arkona - Yarilo - folk metal sounds like pirate metal.

2. Cher - Save Up All Your Tears vs Patsy Cline - Crazy

3. Sheryl Crow - The Difficult Kind vs Joni Mitchell - A Case of You

4. Amesoeurs - Amesoeurs vs Sinead O'Connor - Troy - I do like Sinead's voice though.

5. Shakespears Sister - Stay vs Alicia Keys - No One

6. Siouxsie and the Banshees - The Sweetest Chill vs Neko Case - Prison Girls

7. Liz Phair - Why Can't I vs Lights - Drive My Soul - ehh

8. Diana Ross - Chain Reaction vs Mariah Carey - Emotions

Not a very good set, sadly.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I know -- none of those songs were mine.

[Miss Vicky]

Well four of the songs in this set were my nominations, so bite me hk. :p

[Sexy Celebrity]

Well, it's been 24 hours. You can post the next set now.

3. Tori Amos - Cornflake Girl
4. Madonna - La Isla Bonita (Love this song!)
5. Madonna - Live To Tell (I don't like either of the songs in this match)
6. Lady Gaga - Bad Romance
7. Alannah Myles - Black Velvet (Love it!)
8. Lisa Marie Presley - Lights Out (don't care for either)

[Sexy Celebrity]

I picked "Live to Tell" for Miss Vicky because the music video has Sean Penn in it.

[Miss Vicky]

I picked "Live to Tell" for Miss Vicky because the music video has Sean Penn in it.

I usually like Madonna and I appreciated seeing Penn, but just don't care for that song.

These are my favorite Madonna tunes:

Like A Prayer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79fzeNUqQbQ

I Remember (forgive the sh*tty fan video)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZf3rintTqM

This Used to Be My Playground
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMHRq7yGdkA

Take A Bow
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDeiovnCv1o

[Sexy Celebrity]

Those are all very good... though, not into "I'll Remember."

"Take a Bow" is one I could have nominated. I almost made all of my nominations Madonna songs.

[Mmmm Donuts]

Holy sh*t, I really must have really been off that night to nominate Selena Gomez. Enjoy, you miserable fools!

http://images.wikia.com/villains/images/b/bb/Joker_Evil_Laugh.png

[Miss Vicky]

I love "I'll Remember." It's from the movie With Honors (which is in my top 100) and I absolutely adore the whole soundtrack. Though, of course, my favorite song on the soundtrack is "On the Wrong Side (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcRO2ZncyCw)."

[Miss Vicky]

Holy sh*t, I really must have really been off that night to nominate Selena Gomez. Enjoy, you miserable fools!


I listened to about ten seconds of that P.O.S. and decided to vote for the other song.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I didn't think the Selena Gomez song was that bad. I came close to voting for it.

[Mmmm Donuts]

I listened to about ten seconds of that P.O.S. and decided to vote for the other song.

Hey, you're supposed to listen to at least half of it before making a call. Let me help you with this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzE1mX4Px0I

[Miss Vicky]

I don't need to listen to "at least half" to know which song I like better.

[Godoggo]

1. Jennifer Hudson - One Night Only vs Lady Gaga Poker Face

2. Dolly Parton - 9 to 5 vs The Crystals - Then He Kissed Me

3. Tori Amos - Cornflake Girl vs Peccatum - The Banks of this River is Night

4. Madonna - La Isla Bonita vs The Bangles - In Your Room

5. Madonna - Live to Tell vs Sam Brown - Stop

6. Selena Gomez - Who Says vs Lady Gaga - Bad Romance

7. Alannah Myles - Black Velvet vs Poison Girls - Persons Unknown

8. Dead Can Dance - Return of the She-King vs Lisa Marie Presley - Lights Out

I really hope the Poison Girls make it to the second round. That's one of my favorite songs.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Oh my god! My La Isla Bonita!

[Nausicaä]

1. Lady Gaga - Poker Face (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bESGLojNYSo)

2. The Crystals - Then He Kissed Me (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r17KaC7C5D4) - Very hard choice!

[honeykid]

Well four of the songs in this set were my nominations, so bite me hk. :p
Ah. Sorry, MV. However, our musical tastes don't seem to overlap too often, do they? That said, I was thinking of nominating both Like A Prayer and This Used To Be My Playground. LaP I didn't go with because it'd been nominated before (and spaces were at a premium with this set) and I forgot about 'Playground' when I came to putting my nominations forward. :facepalm:

Alicia Keys
You voted the wrong way, but + rep for breaking the tie. :)

Round 1, Day 6

1. Jennifer Hudson - One Night Only vs Lady Gaga - Poker Face - That's the first time I've listened to Poker Face from start to finish. I don't care for either but, while I think I might prefer JH's song, I can't help but admire a well crafted pop song.

2. Dolly Parton - 9 to 5 vs The Crystals - Then He Kissed Me - This is a really tough one. Normally it wouldn't have even been a contest but, for some reason, the song 9 To 5 puts a smile on my face.

3. Tori Amos - Cornflake Girl vs Peccatum - The Banks of this River is Night - Tori just ripped up the 90's.

4. Madonna - La Isla Bonita vs The Bangles - In Your Room - In your Room was another song I thought about nominating, so this one's pretty easy for me. Plus, I'm not much of a fan of Spanish/Latino influenced music.

5. Madonna - Live to Tell vs Sam Brown - Stop - This was much tougher. One of my favourite Madonna songs, but Sam Brown's Stop is a song I keep coming back to month after month, year after year.

6. Selena Gomez - Who Says vs Lady Gaga - Bad Romance - I've already said I don't care much for Lady Gaga and I'd just rather listen to the other one.

7. Alannah Myles - Black Velvet vs Poison Girls - Persons Unknown - Again, one of my favourites and one of the first songs I thought of when this tournament was spoken of.

8. Dead Can Dance - Return of the She-King vs Lisa Marie Presley - Lights Out - Both are terrible, so it's the lesser of two evils.

[Miss Vicky]

You voted the wrong way

No, she didn't.

[The Gunslinger45]

1. Jennifer Hudson
2. The Crystal (though it was a tough choice)
3. Tori Amos (didn't like either, but this one was shorter)
4. The Bangles
5. Madonna
6. Lady Gaga
7. Alannah Myles
8. Lisa Marie Presley

[honeykid]

No, she didn't.
I thought Stay had a good chance of going a few rounds. It's a great song.

[Miss Vicky]

I thought Stay had a good chance of going a few rounds. It's a great song.

"No One" was my nomination. Teeter g voted correctly.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Plus, I'm not much of a fan of Spanish/Latino influenced music.

It is unfortunate that I can't force you to hear Spanish/Latino music like I can make you see Whoopi Goldberg pictures.

Oh, well. I'll stick to the old ways.

Matches 1, 2, and 6 were "lesser of two evils votes." The first set in particular I found the Bats for Lashes song rather boring then I started the Unexpect song and found the music much more interesting. I was all set to vote for it, but then those horrid vocals started and I just couldn't. :sick:

[Miss Vicky]

Damn it, I'm pretty sure the last of my top three favorite female vocalists is gonna get defeated too. First the Bramletts, now Hynde. Stupid Cher.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Cher?

I haven't even voted for Cher in this tournament. Not the best Cher songs nominated, in my opinion. I would have nominated "Dark Lady" or "I've Found Someone" (an idea given to me by Dorothy Michaels) or "Believe" or what's that other one... "If I Could Turn Back Time." Or something else. Maybe "Half Breed."

[Miss Vicky]

Cher's currently up against The Pretenders. I don't mind Cher, but I don't care for that song and Chrissie Hynde's voice is so much better.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Was that your nom? The Pretenders?

[Miss Vicky]

Yes.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Oh, well, I voted for it.

Didn't care for that Fleetwood Mac thing, though. Probably why I didn't get a rep point.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0itzW8Siqg

[Sexy Celebrity]

Can we start this thing over? I want to nominate "Half Breed" now.

[Miss Vicky]

So far you and LP Quagmire are the only people who voted against "Silver Springs" so it'll probably be moving on. I like "Silver Springs" well enough, but I'm not crazy about it or Stevie Nicks in general. I only nominated it because it was really my introduction to Fleetwood Mac; I'd only listened to Stevie Nicks solo before the reunion. Also Lindsey Buckingham isn't on the other Fleetwood Mac song I nominated so I had to get him in there somehow. ;)

All a shame because "Silver Springs" sucks and "Love Song" was actually pretty good.

[Miss Vicky]

All a shame because "Silver Springs" sucks and "Love Song" was actually pretty good.

"Love Song" is an obnoxious piece of crap.

[Sexy Celebrity]

"Love Song" is an obnoxious piece of crap.

Wrong. It's a very nice song. I'm not crazy about it, but I know when I hear a good song.

You should have re-nominated "Little Lies." I love that song and would have voted for it.

Now vote correctly, Miss Vicky, and you'll have my love.

[Miss Vicky]

Wrong. It's a very nice song. I'm not crazy about it, but I know when I hear a good song.

You should have re-nominated "Little Lies." I love that song and would have voted for it.

So much for saying people shouldn't nominate the same song in multiple tournaments, huh?

I also love "Little Lies" but I decided to represent each of the three women of Fleetwood Mac and Christine McVie was already represented by "As Long As You Follow" (which I love more than "Little Lies" anyway).

Besides, I don't actually need your vote for my nomination to win its match. I just need a majority, which "Silver Springs" got and "Love Song" didn't. :p

[Miss Vicky]

Now vote correctly, Miss Vicky, and you'll have my love.

Any way I vote is the correct way. You should follow suit.

Yes

[Sexy Celebrity]

You have my love, Miss Vicky. You jumped for it.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Plus you were one of the few that voted for my failed "La Isla Bonita"!

[Miss Vicky]

You have my love, Miss Vicky. You jumped for it.

Yeah well I really hate "Cherry Bomb" so it would have had to be up against a complete turd for me to vote for it.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Let's hope the rest hates it. You never know with these people.

[Miss Vicky]

Damn it. I just counted up and only 9 of my original 14 noms are moving on to Round 2.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Damn it. I just counted up and only 9 of my original 14 noms are moving on to Round 2.

9?! You've been complaining like ALL of them were unfairly eliminated.


Well, Missy, I have just two words for you now:

SHUT UP!

[LP Quagmire]

I really hate "Cherry Bomb" so it would have had to be up against a complete turd for me to vote for it.

But it is!

[Sexy Celebrity]

1. The Pointer Sisters - Jump (For My Love) vs The Runaways - Cherry Bomb

Trash!

[Miss Vicky]

9?!

Yes, nine, which includes only one of my three favorites - you know, the ones I actually gave a sh*t about.

And you're one to talk about complaining.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Yes, nine, which includes only one of my three favorites - you know, the ones I actually gave a sh*t about.

And you're one to talk about complaining.

SHUT UP!

I have been sitting around feeling sorry for you because I thought all of your songs were eliminated and you have NINE left. That's not bad at all.

[Miss Vicky]

You thought all of my songs were elminated? Well that's on you. J.J.'s been posting the full list of winners each time. Did you really think somebody else nominated Fleetwood Mac songs?

And again, you're one to talk. You bitched like crazy over the few songs of yours that didn't make it past Round 1 of Song Tournament 3, even though you had more songs in Round 2 than anybody else.

[Sexy Celebrity]

But did I win? NO!

You're picking up bad habits from me, Miss Vicky. Bad habits!

[Sexy Celebrity]

Next thing you know, she'll be making rape jokes.

[Mmmm Donuts]

I don't think anyone wants that...

[LP Quagmire]

Trash!


I'll paraphrase Jerry Seinfeld by saying "Jump (For My Love)" is "a song about nothing."

[Miss Vicky]

Next thing you know, she'll be making rape jokes.

Yeah, because that's gonna happen. :rolleyes:

[Miss Vicky]

I'll paraphrase Jerry Seinfeld by saying "Jump (For My Love)" is "a song about nothing."

And "Cherry Bomb" has a deep, poignant message to it. Or something.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I'll paraphrase Jerry Seinfeld by saying "Jump (For My Love)" is "a song about nothing."

It is not! It is about black women trying to get an athlete they screw real good to love them forever. JUMP! (For My Love) = Put a ring on it.

[LP Quagmire]

And "Cherry Bomb" has a deep, poignant message to it. Or something.

Maybe not, but it's not a product of the corporate assembly line like that Pointer Sisters track.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Maybe not, but it's also not assembly line corporate product like that Pointer Sisters track.

Oh my god. This is so stupid. Hating music for ridiculous reasons like this. It is so soulless.

[Miss Vicky]

Regardless of how they came into being, "Jump (For My Love)" is a fun, catchy song. "Cherry Bomb" is just irritating as hell.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Assembly lines aren't bad things.

Being born into this world is an assembly line. We all came off an assembly line, bitches.

[Sexy Celebrity]

We have no free will. Everything that gets put in our head and piped into us and makes us run = assembly line. Life is nothing but an assembly line. The Pointer Sisters are just bringing it all IN YOUR FACE!

Don't worry, Sexy. Every nomination that is causing you such heartache is mine and if prior rounds are any indication, my songs won't win.
