She-Bop She only Song Tournament

[Godoggo]

I had a request for this particular tournament, so I'll go ahead and make the thread now. Sign-ups will last until tomorrow around 9 or 10 pm eastern time and the tournament will officially start Saturday as soon as I receive everyone's nominations. If you sign up please be available Sat. to post the remainder of your nominations or pm me a list in advance

How many songs there will be will be determined by the amount of participants. You'll have eight nominations now and possibly more later.

Rules

1. This will be a female singer only tournament. The lead vocals must be only female. I will allow bands that have both male and female singers, but the song you nominate must be sung by the female singer. No duets!

2. Everyone will have at least eight nominations so you can go ahead and post those now. Please make sure you're not duplicating a nomination.

3. Keep all nominations in one posts and make sure that they are links, not the embedded video. You'll crash me. Once you receive any extra nominations once we figure out how many everyone has go back and edit the new nominations into the same post as your prior eight please.

4. If this is your first tournament, please read the section called Tournaments in this thread: Tournaments (http://www.movieforums.com/community/showthread.php?t=37943)

5. Have Fun!

Question-

Should we judge the exact version of the song that is nominated?

I always do, and I often don't nominate a song because I can't find a good version, including multiple times this tournament.

I don't know if there's an actual rule about this, but I'm not usually a fan of live versions of songs that I've never heard before, so for those songs, I usually look for a studio version to give the song a fair chance.

[Swan]

My nomination for "Sari" by Nellie McKay is specifically for the live version I posted.

[Swan]

Well, fine, if you're going to be like that I'll change the damn nomination.

[Swan]

And I'm replacing her with Joanna Newsom. You have to deal with it.

I've never heard of any of those songs or artists, so they will both be given a fair chance if they're nominated.

[jiraffejustin]

Don't listen to her, change it to Joanna Newsom because I love her.

[Godoggo]

Question-

I always do, and I often don't nominate a song because I can't find a good version, including multiple times this tournament.

Yeah. We should be judging the version of the song submitted.

Have you tried Grooveshark? I can usually find any version of a song I look for there.

[Swan]

Well, if I'm going to nominate "Sari," you have to promise to listen to the live version.

[Swan]

Don't listen to her, change it to Joanna Newsom because I love her.

I don't know what to do. "Sari (live)" and "Sprout and the Bean" are two of my fave songs. :(

Thanks babe.

Who me? I always listen to the version that's posted first, but if it's a live version that I don't like, I look for a studio version and listen to that too to give it a fair chance.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I always think live versions sound worse. They're not worth putting up for these things unless the video is, for some reason, really good to watch.

[gbgoodies]

Yeah. We should be judging the version of the song submitted.

Have you tried Grooveshark? I can usually find any version of a song I look for there.


There's at least one song that I haven't been able to find anywhere tonight, including YouTube and Grooveshark.

Victoria Shaw's "Don't Move".

EDIT: I finally found it on YouTube. :)

[gbgoodies]

I always think live versions sound worse. They're not worth putting up for these things unless the video is, for some reason, really good to watch.


Some performers are better live, but if you don't know the song, it's hard to judge the song without hearing the studio version too.

[Swan]

I'm not worried. I'm still compiling my list, but I'm sure that most of my noms won't make it past the first round.

[Godoggo]

I added six more. Very, very different stuff than what I usually nominate.

[Godoggo]

My usual fare gets knocked out quick like, so I'm trying something new. Those are all good songs anyway. Anna Kendrick is the bomb. Girl can do anything and she's really cool and down to earth. I luff her.

I might nominate some Kelly Clarkson. Hmm...

[Godoggo]

Got my eight. Went New Wave for the last two. I guess we will see tomorrow how many end up joining in. Hopefully at least 5 more.

[Swan]

JJ, you should nominate some Sylvan Esso.

[christine]

I'm in Go, but I'm just going to work now so will make my list this afternoon

[Swan]

JJ, nominate this song.

I like that song, but I don't know yet. I can't decide my strategy here. I always put a lot of thought into my nominations and then they get bounced really early. :( woe is me.

Welcome to my world. I haven't even heard of most of the songs and artists that are already listed on the first page, so it's hard for me to find songs that you guys have even heard of, and even harder to find songs that you guys might like and actually vote for.

[Swan]

If you guys want to get far, just nominate hits.

[Swan]

I don't care about getting far, I just like forcing people to listen to my music.

I always nominate music I really like, but it is fun to have a dog in the race too. Last tournament I did horrible. It was still fun, but it's also nice to think you might have a shot at winning. I'm a little all over the place with my noms this time. I have no idea how I will do.

[gbgoodies]

Can we nominate things that have been nominated before? Not that I have a particular song in mind but just don't have the time to be going back and trawling through previous tournaments to see what was in the running back then.

I think rule for the past tournaments has been that you can't nominate a song that won already in a different tournament, but I think it's okay to nominate a song that didn't already win.

But you should verify this to make sure.

[christine]

When I do my noms then I'll rely on Sexy to tell me if one has won already. He's got a good memory :)

[Sexy Celebrity]

Except maybe in certain, special situations... whatever they might be... I feel like songs that already won shouldn't be played again.

Runner-ups are fine, but not winners.

Jiraffe nominating Patsy Cline's "She's Got You" again is ridiculous. It already won and it was nominated by him.

It might be funny to see a song win twice, but I prefer seeing new stuff win.

I agree. I'd prefer to see new stuff win rather than the same song win twice. I think it gives the winning song an unfair advantage. In fact, I might actually vote against a song I like just because it already won one of these tournaments.

It might be interesting to have a tournament of songs that didn't make the top 100 charts. Maybe something like "B" sides, or album cuts that weren't released as singles. There might be some good hidden gems in a tournament like that, and it would be unlikely that a song would win just because it's popular.

Can I join in again?

Sure, just read the rules on the first page. You can start posting your first 8 songs now.

I feel like a little bit of a heel because I think I nominated mostly hits. My problem is that's pretty much all I know. I don't buy CD's anymore, and when I did it was minimal. I listen to classic rock, oldies, or sometimes modern rock, but that's about it. Some of you guys nominated whole sets of songs and artists I've never even heard of. I know and love some obscure songs, but probably over 95% of them are from male artists.

[Godoggo]

Don't feel like a heal, Cricket. I nominated All About That Bass for crying out loud. :D Cups and The Hangin' Tree too. I'm sure it will backfire on me, but we will see.

Thanks to all of you joining in! The more the merrier. Remember to try to check back tonight to see how many noms everyone will have. It will be a 128 song tournament since more than eight joined and unless 16 people join (doubtful) everyone will have a few more than eight. :)

Edited to add 9th song

[Godoggo]

Those are all good, Christine.

[christine]

Thanks :)

[honeykid]

I don't know how much I'm going to be around at the weekend. Shall I turn in a list or sit this one out?

[cricket]

Turn one in

[christine]

do a list HK, just don't win again! give us a chance!

[honeykid]

I didn't win it last time. :D

I know and love some obscure songs, but probably over 95% of them are from male artists.


There's no reason to feel like a heel. Everyone has the same opportunity as you to pick whatever songs they want to nominate, whether the songs are hits, or personal favorites that are lesser known songs. Personally, I chose all songs that I love, a few are hits, and a few are songs that nobody but me has probably heard yet, but they're at the top of my favorites list for female singers. I listen to mostly male artists too, so the few songs sung by females are all songs that I love.

The idea is to have fun. If you're happy with your choices, that's all that matters. Just listen to some music, hopefully find some new favorites, and have fun. :)

[Godoggo]

I don't know how much I'm going to be around at the weekend. Shall I turn in a list or sit this one out?

Be in! Just go ahead and do a list of eleven. If it ends up being too many, I'll delete the last ones off your list until it's the right amount of nominations. My rounds always last 24 hours so you would only miss one or two rounds at the most.

[christine]

I'm going out in a little while but I'll check back before I turn in to see if we're allocated any more noms

[christine]

I didn't win it last time. :D

oh yeah, close tho

OK, here's my 11. The first eight are set, the other three delete if needed from Alone up. Alone being my 'last' pick.

Quote a post where they do work. Copy one of the links, then paste it the number of times you need to. Copy/paste the youtube address from /watch to the end and replace the artist/title with your choice. Then preview and see if it works. :)

[gbgoodies]

Thanks!


EDIT: I tried that, it didn't work either unless I am doing something wrong...


Okay, Let's try this step by step.

1. Type (or cut and paste) the artist's name and song title to your post.
2. Highlight the artist's name and song title.
3, Click on the Link icon, (the one that looks like a globe).
4. Cut and paste the YouTube link into the pop-up box, and hit Enter.
5. Replace the letters "www" from the YouTube link with the letter "m".

Let me know if that works.

This should work too. :up:

[teeter_g]

I did it gbg's way and it worked. If you don't do that a lot you forget how it is done. Thanks for the assistance you guys!

[Godoggo]

Thanks gbgoodies for helping Teeter out. Since my phone links automatically I never learned how to do that.

[Monkeypunch]

Am I too late? can I jump in?

[Godoggo]

Am I too late? can I jump in?

Sure you can. Go ahead and post eight nominations.

[Godoggo]

Actually MonkeyPunch go ahead and post nine. I am going to call time on sign-ups a little early so that I can get started putting the list together.

Everyone gets nine nominations except Swan and gbgoodies. They both get 10. Swan because he requested this tournament and gbgoodies because she took one less last tournament and did a fantastic job running her first one.

Please add your extra nomination to your post with your original eight. Except for Christine and Chypmunk. I already have theirs.

Thanks for joining everyone. I wasn't expecting such a big group. That's awesome.

This will start sometime tomorrow as soon as I have everyone's nominations. Also at this point if you change anything be sure to let me know.

One more thing. I'm going to allow previous winning songs to be nominated but just be aware that it's doubtful people will vote a previous winner to win again.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Someone can have the rest of my nomination spots because I can't add anymore tonight. I nominated 8 songs. I'm gonna have to stick with 8.

[teeter_g]

My ninth pick has been added to my original post.

[jiraffejustin]

I decided not to nominate Britney Spears' "Toxic" as my replacement pick for my Country Song Tournament Winning selection of Patsy Cline's "She's Got You." (That's right, bitches, I actually won a song tournament.) (Then I forgot about it.) Anyway, for my last two spots I chose Portishead's "Seven Months" and Best Coast's "Bratty B." I edited the new songs into my initial post, and you can eliminate them in the first round, but you probably should let them stay much longer than that.

[cricket]

I took one out and added two, so mine are all set.

[Sexy Celebrity]

If someone wants to add Tiffany's "I Think We're Alone Now" to my list as my 9th song, that would be great. I can't do it. Thank you.

Make sure it's the official music video for the song.

[Godoggo]

I'll do it, Sexy.

[gbgoodies]

Okay, I'm done. My ten nominations are listed in my post on the first page. They probably won't make it past the first round, but at least they're all songs that I love. :D

Here's a link to my nominations:

Awesome. I'll have the first round within the hour!

[Godoggo]

Yeah, he did. Swan and I even had a conversation about whether he should pick that song or Coin Operated Boy. I told him the latter but he picked the first, so I had it in my head that he picked Coin Operated Boy. I even thought to myself "oh, look Monkey picked the other one. "

Anyways, Monkey, when you get a chance I need a replacement song for that one.

[cricket]

The Winehouse song is one of the ones I wanted to nominate but couldn't find a video.

I probably won't be able to listen and vote til the morning.

4. Tina Turner - What's Love Got To Do With It vs Bette Midler-The Rose

5. Donna Summer-Hot Stuff vs Grimes- Genesis

6. Swing out Sister - Breakout vs kate bush ~ them heavy people
There's something about Kate Bush that has always got on my wick.

7. Evanescence - Going Under vs Hazel Dean - Who's Leaving Who

8. Mazzy Star - Fade Into You vs Fever Ray- If I Had A Heart
Not heard either of these before. Liked them both but there's something otherworldly about Fever Ray I like

[Godoggo]

I wasn't happy about Adele being paired with the Cocteau Twins at all. I think Adele has a great voice so I didn't like voting against her in the first round. Also I thought she'd wipe the floor with the Cocteau Twins. I'm really surprised bu the votes.

[Swan]

I don't get how Sunrise never gets past the first or second round whenever I nominate it. That's such a fantastic song!

[Godoggo]

I don't know about the other tournaments but that was an unlucky draw to go up against Carly.

It is a good song.

1. Cocteau Twins - Pandora vs Adele - Make You Feel My Love
(great song by Adele but would have nominated some Ms. Fraser myself had Go not already got there first)

2. Abba - Dancing Queen vs Julie London - Cry Me A River
(remember Abbamania very fondly but no contest for me)

3. Carly Simon - You're So Vain vs Norah Jones - Sunrise
(tough one, slight preference is for the latter)

4. Tina Turner - What's Love Got To Do With It vs Bette Midler - The Rose
(two fine songs imo, close call)

5. Donna Summer - Hot Stuff vs Grimes - Genesis
(never been keen on the former)

6. Swing out Sister - Breakout vs Kate Bush - Them Heavy People
(easy choice for me, one of my four favourite tracks by the latter)

7. Evanescence - Going Under vs Hazel Dean - Who's Leaving Who
(another easy one for me, never have liked the latter)

8. Mazzy Star - Fade Into You vs Fever Ray - If I Had A Heart
(latter just edges it for me)

[cricket]

Round 1/ Day 1

1. Cocteau Twins ~ Pandora vs Adele - Make You Feel My Love

First time hearing both-I like Adele's voice and thought that was a pretty good song. Pandora is not normally my kind of song, but it has a haunting way that I liked a lot.

2. Abba ~ Dancing Queen vs*
Julie London - Cry Me A River

I like Dancing Queen, but I like a couple other Abba songs more. Cry Me A River is real classy.

3. Carly Simon-You're So Vain vs*
Norah Jones – Sunrise

I really tried to get into Sunrise, but I just couldn't. Simon looks like Steven Tyler to me, but Vain is a great song.

4. Tina Turner - What's Love Got To Do With It vs Bette Midler-The Rose

I love Tina Turner and I like that song. I love Bette Midler and I love The Rose.

5. Donna Summer-Hot Stuff vs*
Grimes- Genesis

I tried to imagine myself in a scenario in which I'd like Genesis but it just didn't work. The music in Hot Stuff plus Summer's voice is a killer combo.

6. Swing out Sister - Breakout vs kate bush ~ them heavy people

I thought I was liking the Bush song more than others I've heard from her, but I got sick of that voice. She just doesn't appeal to me unfortunately. *Have always liked Breakout.

7. Evanescence - Going Under vs Hazel Dean - Who's Leaving Who

Not my favorite from Evanescence, but it's my preferred style of music more than the other.

8. Mazzy Star - Fade Into You vs Fever Ray- If I Had A Heart

This was close; liked both songs from 2 artists I had never heard of.

[Godoggo]

Round 1/ Day 1 is still open for voting. I'm leaving for awhile so I wanted to put this up.
Also, four of the matches are really close so I am hoping that HK and maybe one more person votes. Each song in those four matches still has a fighting chance.

I'll close the round after I get home or 3:30 pm, whichever one comes later.

[Chypmunk]

Round 1\Day 2

1. Veruca Salt - Seether vs Gladys Knight and the Pips - Midnight Train to Georgia
(former is decent, could do with a little more passion in the delivery for me though and is up against a great song here)

2. Heartless Bastards - The Mountain vs Maureen McGovern - Can You Read My Mind
(love the guitar and feel of the former, latter is just a little generic to me)

3. Ce'cile - M-I-S-S-I-N-G vs Cat Power - The Greatest
(have to go against my selection here as the latter is a better song, never expected Ce'Cile to feel much love on here anyway tbh)

4. Amanda Palmer - Oasis vs Julianna Barwick - One Half
(easy choice for me in this one)

5. Hole - Reasons to Be Beautiful vs Au Pairs - It's Obvious
(like both but having already voted against one of mine and I'll not do so again here)

6. Fiona Apple - Paper Bag vs Foolish Games - Jewel
(fond of the latter but former is just a more interesting song imo)

7. Joanna Newsom - Sprout and the Bean vs Tiffany - I Think We're Alone Now
(like the former musically but not the vocals so it has to be the latter for me here I'm afraid)

8. Bessie Smith - Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out vs Samantha Fox - I Wanna Have Some Fun
(absolutely no contest for me)

[VFN]

Joanna Newsom - Sprout and the Bean vs Tiffany - I Think We're Alone Now(like the former musically but not the vocals so it has to be the latter for me here I'm afraid)

Wow, doesn't speak much for Joanna. I'd vote for Sexy gargling his mouthwash over that Tiffany debacle. :eek:

[Slappydavis]

Round 1\Day 2

1. Veruca Salt - Seether vs
Gladys Knight and the Pips-Midnight Train to Georgia
Enjoyed both of these

2. Heartless Bastards- The Mountain vs Maureen McGovern - Can You Read My Mind
For my money, Erika Wennerstrom has the best female rock voice since Grace Slick.

3. Ce'cile - M-I-S-S-I-N-G vs
Cat Power – The Greatest
One of the artists I was glad to see so that I didn't have to do it myself :)

4. Amanda Palmer - Oasis vs
Julianna Barwick- One Half
I am absolutely head over heels for Julianna Barwicks's music. I knew I was going to nom a track of hers but it was difficult to choose one out of so many, so I went with one of the few that have discernible lyrics.

5. Hole - Reasons to Be Beautiful vs Au Pairs - It's Obvious
Never heard this one, I like it.

6. Fiona Apple – Paper Bag vs Foolish Games ~ Jewel
Another artist I was probably going to have to nom if someone didn't, gracias.

7. Joanna Newsom - Sprout and the Bean vs Tiffani ~ I Think We're Alone Now
I almost still nominated another Joanna Newsom track even seeing that one was up, obviously a insanely talented artist. She's pretty well known by now, but if this is the first time you hear Newsom's vocals, you might hate it, but trust me, stick with it, they'll grow on you. Hard.

8. Bessie Smith - Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out vs Samantha Fox - I Wanna Have Some Fun
Not really feeling either track.

Round 1\Day 2

1. Veruca Salt - Seether vs*
Gladys Knight and the Pips-Midnight Train to Georgia

I liked the spunk of Veruca Salt but they got a tough draw.

2. Heartless Bastards- The Mountain vs Maureen McGovern - Can You Read My Mind

I quite like the Heartless Bastards song, although if I had just heard it on the radio, I would've thought the vocalist was male. The McGovern song is just not my kind of music.

3. Ce'cile - M-I-S-S-I-N-G vs*
Cat Power – The Greatest

First time hearing both; no contest for my taste.

4. Amanda Palmer - Oasis vs*
Julianna Barwick- One Half

The Barwick track has a pleasant sound, but I preferred the quirky catchiness of the other.

5. Hole - Reasons to Be Beautiful vs Au Pairs - It's Obvious

An upset for me because I think Hole is a pretty good rock band.

6. Fiona Apple – Paper Bag vs Foolish Games ~ Jewel

I actually liked both of these.

7. Joanna Newsom - Sprout and the Bean vs Tiffani ~ I Think We're Alone Now

Maybe unfair, but nostalgia goes a long way for me, and I was a teen when Alone Now was out.

8. Bessie Smith - Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out vs Samantha Fox-I Wanna Have Some Fun*

When I was a teen in the 80's, I had a life sized poster of Samantha Fox on my bedroom door. When I moved to the 2nd floor, the new tenant had to replace the entire door to get it off. I thought the Bessie Smith tune was very good.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I'm gonna record myself gargling my mouthwash momentarily.

[neiba]

Thank you christine for nominating the great Amalia! :') It's one of the few reasons that made me proud of my country!
And the song brings me to tears everytime I listen to it!

Oh Neiba, you know what I quite often have a tear in my eye when i listen to her songs and i have absolutely no idea of what she's singing about . I kinda dont want to either as the emotion in her soul is enough for me :)

[neiba]

She's the greatest symbol of my country so you have a notion of what she means to us! :) if you need any recommendation, feel free to ask! :)
And believe me, if you knew the lyrics, it would be even more emotional! :)

Round 1/Day 3

1. Dusty Springfield - Son of a Preacher Man vs Elkie Brooks - Pearl's A SInger

Wuthering Heights is a song where Bush's unique voice really excels.

3. Evanescence - My Immortal vs Cyndi Lauper - Girls Just Want To Have Fun

4.Shake it Out - Florence and the Machine vs Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This really tough match between two singers with fantastic voices but the Florence song has the slight edge for me

Round 1/Day 3

1. Dusty Springfield - Son of a Preacher Man vs Elkie Brooks - Pearl's A SInger

2. Wuthering Heights - Kate Bush vs Shelly West - Jose Cuervo
This is a great song even tho I don't like her much

3. Evanescence - My Immortal vs Cyndi Lauper - Girls Just Want To Have Fun

4. Shake it Out - Florence and the Machine vs Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)
This was the hardest choice for me in this round. Two really good songs

5. Garbage - Sex Is Not The Enemy vs Paramore - Misery Business

6. Janis Joplin-Summertime vs
Melt Banana- Zero
No contest

7. Song of the Siren ~ This Mortal Coil vs Maria Callas - Habanera
I'd def been voting for This a Mortal Coil if Maria wasn't mine.

8. Taylor Dayne - Tell It To My Heart vs Amy Winehouse ~ You Know I'm No Good
Amy , what a great voice she had

[VFN]

I almost still nominated another Joanna Newsom track even seeing that one was up, obviously a insanely talented artist. She's pretty well known by now, but if this is the first time you hear Newsom's vocals, you might hate it, but trust me, stick with it, they'll grow on you. Hard.

I don't mean to be disagreeable but I think the last thing Joanna Newsom's vocals will do is make anyone hard.

Probably my favorite of the bunch

Taylor Dayne - Tell It To My Heart vs Amy Winehouse ~ You Know I'm No Good

[honeykid]

I'm here and listening. I'll post them all here.

1. Cocteau Twins ~ Pandora vs Adele - Make You Feel My Love - I don't get Adele. :shrug:

2. Abba ~ Dancing Queen vs Julie London - Cry Me A River - This is a tough call, but there's going to be a lot of low level catawauling in this tournament, so anything upbeat is going to be at a premium.

3. Carly Simon-You're So Vain vs Norah Jones – Sunrise - I don't really get Norah Jones either. Not now, anyway. 20 years ago? She'd fit right in. I like her voice, but whenever I hear her singing, I expect it to be raining outside and the time to be about 2pm. Plus, You're So Vain? She had no chance anyway.

4. Tina Turner - What's Love Got To Do With It vs Bette Midler-The Rose - If I have to vote What's Love Got To Do With It to another final I'm not going to be happy.

5. Donna Summer-Hot Stuff vs Grimes- Genesis - Was there any doubt? I came close to picking a couple of Donna Summer tracks myself.

6. Swing out Sister - Breakout vs kate bush ~ them heavy people - It's mine and I love to hear it. Such a sunny song.

7. Evanescence - Going Under vs Hazel Dean - Who's Leaving Who - More upbeat SAW pop. This was the one I thought would go out round one regardless of what it was up against.

8. Mazzy Star - Fade Into You vs Fever Ray- If I Had A Heart - Nice and easy does it.

OK, next.,

1. Veruca Salt - Seether vs Gladys Knight and the Pips-Midnight Train to Georgia - Controversial, but I'm going with Veruca Salt.

2. Heartless Bastards- The Mountain vs Maureen McGovern - Can You Read My Mind - I don't care too much for either.

3. Ce'cile - M-I-S-S-I-N-G vs Cat Power – The Greatest - Two more I don't care about.

4. Amanda Palmer - Oasis vs Julianna Barwick- One Half - I knew I shouldn't have done this tournament. :D

5. Hole - Reasons to Be Beautiful vs Au Pairs - It's Obvious - It's not 6 minutes long. God, I think my brain is dripping out of my ears.

6. Fiona Apple – Paper Bag vs Foolish Games ~ Jewel - Oh, Christ! Will this torture never end?

7. Joanna Newsom - Sprout and the Bean vs Tiffani ~ I Think We're Alone Now - Thank you, Tiff. :) The other one wasn't that bad, it'd have won any of the last 4 or 5 match ups, but not this. Another one I actually thought about putting up, but I thought I'd already done so previously.

8. Bessie Smith - Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out vs Samantha Fox-I Wanna Have Some Fun - I know many would say there's no such thing as good Sam Fox, but if there is, this ain't it.

OK, this one and I'll be up to date. :)


1. Dusty Springfield - Son of a Preacher Man vs Elkie Brooks - Pearl's A SInger - Nice and easy.

2. Wuthering Heights - Kate Bush vs Shelly West - Jose Cuervo - Country against Wuthering Heights? Nice and easy.

3. Evanescence - My Immortal vs Cyndi Lauper - Girls Just Want To Have Fun - Meh against Girls Just Wanna Have Fun? Nice and easy. ;)

4. Shake it Out - Florence and the Machine vs Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) - Nice and easy.

5. Garbage - Sex Is Not The Enemy vs Paramore - Misery Business - Finally! Two decent tracks. It's a shame to vote for one.

6. Janis Joplin-Summertime vs Melt Banana- Zero - Nice and easy. I choose the one which doesn't sound like a car alarm the owner has ignored for 3 hours.

7. Song of the Siren ~ This Mortal Coil vs Maria Callas - Habanera

8. Taylor Dayne - Tell It To My Heart vs Amy Winehouse ~ You Know I'm No Good - And one of the few good songs of the round is going to go out to Amy bloody Winehouse? :shrug:

1. Dusty Springfield - Son of a Preacher Man vs Elkie Brooks - Pearl's A SInger

2. Wuthering Heights - Kate Bush vs Shelly West - Jose Cuervo

3. Evanescence - My Immortal vs Cyndi Lauper - Girls Just Want To Have Fun
I was going to nom this if SC didn't, fantastic track. Only thing of CL's that I like though.

4. Shake it Out - Florence and the Machine vs Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)

5. Garbage - Sex Is Not The Enemy vs Paramore - Misery Business

6. Janis Joplin-Summertime vs Melt Banana- Zero
Whoops, I accidentally linked to a version with a 2 or so minute appendix on it (Zero+), but I doubt it'd make a difference, I love it to death, but it never seemed like something that'd do well here.

[Sexy Celebrity]

8. Taylor Dayne - Tell It To My Heart vs Amy Winehouse ~ You Know I'm No Good - And one of the few good songs of the round is going to go out to Amy bloody Winehouse? :shrug:

It's horrendous. I hate Amy Winehouse.

I mean, I had no reason before to hate Amy Winehouse, but I hate her now because I've never cared for her or her music and she absolutely shouldn't be overtaking this delicious Taylor Dayne drag queen ditty. I don't think I ever saw the music video for "Tell It To My Heart" until now. If I did, it was several lifetimes ago.

[Chypmunk]

Round 1/Day 3

1. Dusty Springfield - Son of a Preacher Man vs Elkie Brooks - Pearl's A SInger
(up against a great song and is gonna go out but Elk's track deserves a little love from someone so I'll provide it)

2. Wuthering Heights - Kate Bush vs Shelly West - Jose Cuervo
(sorry but a lot of country just doesn't float my boat)

3. Evanescence - My Immortal vs Cyndi Lauper - Girls Just Want To Have Fun
(like both but this is my favourite track from Ms. Lee)

4. Shake it Out - Florence and the Machine vs Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)
(one of the better tracks from FloMac but no chance against Ms. Lennox and Mr. Stewart in their prime for me)

5. Garbage - Sex Is Not The Enemy vs Paramore - Misery Business
(like the latter but love the former)

6. Janis Joplin-Summertime vs Melt Banana- Zero
(former gets the vote - never heard of the latter before, quite like it up until the first false end though, just wish the vocals were a little further forward in the mix personally)

7. Song of the Siren ~ This Mortal Coil vs Maria Callas - Habanera
(can appreciate Ms. Callas' fine voice but opera is a bit like country for me I'm afraid and the former is a personal fave of Ms. Fraser for me anyway - was going to be nominated by me until I saw it already was)

8. Taylor Dayne - Tell It To My Heart vs Amy Winehouse ~ You Know I'm No Good
(chalk and cheese and a no contest for me here)

[honeykid]

Wow. Swingout Sister goes out while Hazel Dean goes through? I'd have thought it would've been the other way around and, after seeing Swingout Sister go up against Kate Bush I was resigned to losing both.

[linespalsy]

Round 1\Day 2

1. Veruca Salt - Seether vs
Gladys Knight and the Pips-Midnight Train to Georgia

2. Heartless Bastards- The Mountain - Wouldn't surprise me if these guys were big Gun Club fans. The singer even has that Jeffrey Lee Pierce vibrato thing going, but can sing better. Awesome song, by a band I've never heard of. vs Maureen McGovern - Can You Read My Mind - lol

3. Ce'cile - M-I-S-S-I-N-G - the other one's even worse. vs
Cat Power – The Greatest

4. Amanda Palmer - Oasis vs
Julianna Barwick- One Half - sounds like the generic song they play in that montage in every teen soap (Gossip Girl, Carrie Diaries etc.) where a bunch of young people are sitting in bed looking sad or wistful

5. Hole - Reasons to Be Beautiful
vs Au Pairs - It's Obvious - sounds kinda like Gang of Four. Plus any song that has a guy who can't play the sax trying to play the sax is okay with me. I love Nirvana, but I'll take a 1.5st-rate Gang of Four knock-off over a 3rd-rate Nirvana any day. I would actually listen to the Au Pairs outside of this tournament.

6. Fiona Apple – Paper Bag - something about this vocal style rubs me the wrong way (cf. Cat Power). But I like Jewel's even less. vs Foolish Games ~ Jewel

7. Joanna Newsom - Sprout and the Bean vs Tiffani ~ I Think We're Alone Now - I think my wife would kill me if I didn't vote for this, especially against Joanna Newsom ("You wanna play harp, go join an orchestra.")

8. Bessie Smith - Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out vs Samantha Fox-I Wanna Have Some Fun - Sorry this was up against Bessie Smith because the video is uh-mazing. Glad to see her employing the extras from Michal Jackson and NWA's videos.

[christine]

Sad to see Julie London going out, she's such a great singer and a good song too. Like HK I'm sad to lose Swing Out Sister too. That track reminds me of when we had our pub back in the 80s . We had a proper old juke box and every week we'd go down the record shop to buy the latest singles. That one used to get played a lot.

[linespalsy]

Round 1/Day 3

1. Dusty Springfield - Son of a Preacher Man vs Elkie Brooks - Pearl's A SInger - two good songs but one is better.

2. Wuthering Heights - Kate Bush vs Shelly West - Jose Cuervo - no way jose.

3. Evanescence - My Immortal vs Cyndi Lauper - Girls Just Want To Have Fun didn't really mind that evanescence song, but this one's easy

4. Shake it Out - Florence and the Machine vs Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) - I like how they have not only a "cellist", but also a "backup cellist" in this video

5. Garbage - Sex Is Not The Enemy -the other one's even worse vs Paramore - Misery Business

6. Janis Joplin-Summertime vs
Melt Banana- Zero

7. Song of the Siren ~ This Mortal Coil vs Maria Callas - Habanera - kind of an unfair match. i might even like the other song better but went with the better singer here.

8. Taylor Dayne - Tell It To My Heart vs Amy Winehouse ~ You Know I'm No Good

I couple of these matches were basically "the lesser of two evils" choices for me because I hated both songs. I don't want to say which matches because I don't want to diss anyone else's choices.

But what do I know? Nobody but me is voting for my songs so far anyway. :shrug:

Gb - it's perfectly fine not to like someone else's song and say so and if that happens to be both in a match that's fine too - I certainly wouldn't regard it as 'dissing' anything ... I'm eternally grateful each and every day that the human race has such diverse taste - life would be so inherently boring if that wasn't the case.

But what do I know? Nobody but me is voting for my songs so far anyway.
I think I only voted for two that made it through round 1 day 1 and my pick in that round got dumped out because it's not 'upbeat' if that makes you feel any better about your personal taste in tunes.

I'm not really too surprised that my songs aren't doing well. While looking through my MP3 player for songs to pick, I noticed that about 90% (or more) of the songs I like are sung by male artists. And a lot of the songs by females artists were showtunes from artists like Julie Andrews, Judy Garland, Liza Minelli, etc., so I didn't choose those because I know a lot of people don't like showtunes.

Oh well. At least I had a lot of fun listening to the songs while deciding what songs to pick. :shrug:

Round 1/Day 3

1. Dusty Springfield - Son of a Preacher Man vs Elkie Brooks - Pearl's A SInger

Brooks made this a lot closer than I expected.

2. Wuthering Heights - Kate Bush vs Shelly West - Jose Cuervo

Never before has Bush and Cuervo been such a bad combination.

3. Evanescence - My Immortal vs Cyndi Lauper - Girls Just Want To Have Fun

Too many memories and too much fun.

4. Shake it Out - Florence and the Machine vs Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)

I quite liked Shake it Out but it's got a horrible match-up.

5. Garbage - Sex Is Not The Enemy vs Paramore - Misery Business

I liked both of these.

6. Janis Joplin-Summertime vs*
Melt Banana- Zero

I didn't totally hate Zero but this is an easy one.

7. Song of the Siren ~ This Mortal Coil vs Maria Callas - Habanera

I didn't think either one was a bad song, but neither one is my style.

8. Taylor Dayne - Tell It To My Heart vs Amy Winehouse ~ You Know I'm No Good*

It sucks because I really like Taylor Dayne and that song, but I'd be happy if Winehouse wins this tournament.

Round 1\Day 4*

1. nina hagen - flying saucers vs Dream a Little Dream of Me - Mama Cass

I don't quite love the Mama Cass song, but still no contest for me.

2. flying lizards - hands 2 take vs Björk - Human Behavior

I thought both of these were decent.

3. salt n pepa - whatta man vs*
Cups - Anna Kendrick*

I almost nominated Salt n Pepa myself. Kendrick was ok.

4. Nellie McKay - Sari vs*
The Waitresses~ I know What Boys Like

Easy one for me; I just didn't like McKay.

5. Lana Del Rey - Video Games vs*
Transvision Vamp - Baby I Don't Care

I thought both were decent.*

6. Archie Marry Me - Alvvays vs Blondie - Atomic

I liked the other one, but I'm partial to Blondie.

7. Sioussie and the banshees - dazzle vs tUnE yArDs- Powa

I seem to recall voting for the Banshees before; I like them a little.

8. Janis Joplin - Kozmic Blues vs Meghan Trainor ~ All About That Bass

It'll be tough going against my favorite female artist, but I didn't like Trainor anyway.

[honeykid]

1. nina hagen - flying saucers vs Dream a Little Dream of Me - Mama Cass - It's easy for me, but I liked the Flying Saucers song.

2. flying lizards - hands 2 take vs Björk - Human Behavior - Again, I thought the other one was OK, too, but I'm really familiar with Bjork's Debut album.

3. salt n pepa - whatta man vs Cups - Anna Kendrick - A minute and a half of nothing before the song? No chance.

4. Nellie McKay - Sari vs The Waitresses~ I know What Boys Like - Pretty close. Wasn't McKay nominated in the last female vocalist tournament? I remember that from somewhere.

5. Lana Del Rey - Video Games vs Transvision Vamp - Baby I Don't Care - How is this losing? :( This is why Adele is the top selling female artist. Not that Video Games isn't better than anything I've ever heard by Adele.

6. Archie Marry Me - Alvvays vs Blondie - Atomic - I like the first one, but it's ain't Blondie's Atomic. Possibly my favourite Blondie song.

7.siouxsie and the banshees - dazzle vs tUnE yArDs- Powa - I'm not bothered by either. TBH, I've gone with the shorter one.

8. Janis Joplin - Kozmic Blues vs Meghan Trainor ~ All About That Bass - It's not a Joplin I care for, but it's still an easy win for me.

Round 1/Day 5

1. billie holiday - all of me vs Alanis Morrisette - Hand in my Pocket
(like the latter but not enough to oust Ms. Holiday)

2. Lee Ann Womack - I Hope You Dance vs Sonic Youth - Kool Thing
(closer than I would have expected)

3. Martina McBride - This One's for the Girls vs Siouxsie And The Banshees - Eve White / Eve Black
(I quite like the first one but nowhere near enough to turn my vote I'm afraid)

4. Flyleaf - I'm So Sick vs Vixen - Edge Of A Broken Heart
(like both, former just edges it for me)

5. Melissa Manchester - Don't Cry Out Loud vs Amalia Rodriguez - Com Que Voz
(prefer Elk's version of the former but still would have voted for the latter anyway)

6. Mary McGregor - Torn Between Two Lovers vs Flyleaf - All Around Me
(former has a nice voice but latter is just more my type of track, sorry)

7. Feist - Mushaboom vs Sky Ferreira - Everything is Embarrassing

1. Nena-99 Red Balloons vs Johhny, Are You Queer? ~ Josie Cotten
(prefer the former auf Deutsch but still an easy choice for me in this one)

2. Jane Wiedlin - Rush Hour vs Berntholer – My Suitor
(like both, slight preference for the former)

3. Kate Bush – The Dreaming vs Blondie - One Way or Another
(not one of my favourite tracks by the former)

4. Kylie Minogue - Can't Get You Outta My Head vs Yazoo - Winter Kills
(love both for different reasons, guessing mine stands not even a snowball's chance in hell here so showing it a little love)

5. Iggy Azalea/Rita Ora - Black Widow vs Kasey Chambers - The Captain
(not mad keen on either tbh)

6. Martina McBride - Independence Day vs Silent all these Years ~ Tori Amos
(former edges it for me)

7. Sheila E-A Love Bizarre vs Weak - Skunk Anansie
(no contest for me, never been a fan of squiggle or his influence on his 'proteges')

8. Yellow Flicker Beats - Lorde vs Hangin' Tree ~ Jennifer Lawrence

[linespalsy]

1. Nena-99 Red Balloons vs
Johhny, Are You Queer? ~ Josie Cotten

2. Jane Wiedlin - Rush Hour vs
Berntholer – My Suitor - never heard this before. pretty good!

3. Kate Bush – The Dreaming vs Blondie - One Way or Another - both are fine, neither one is a favorite, but i think one way or another is one of blondie's most overrated.

4. Kylie Minogue - Can't Get You Outta My Head vs Yazoo - Winter Kills - both are fine

5. Iggy Azalea/Rita Ora - Black Widow vs Kasey Chambers - The Captain -looking forward to voting against whichever of these wins this round. unless it's up against that first evanescence song or something.

6. Martina McBride - Independence Day vs Silent all these Years ~ Tori Amos - and another one i can't wait to be able to vote against

7. Sheila E-A Love Bizarre - the beat reminds me of a severed heads song (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XoHnHH1hhJM)! vs Weak - Skunk Anansie

8. Yellow Flicker Beats - Lorde vs Hangin' Tree ~ Jennifer Lawrence - i like the song better in the part when jennifer lawrence isn't singing, but that's not saying much. not really a fan of the one i voted for either.

[honeykid]

1. billie holiday - all of me vs Alanis Morrisette - Hand in my Pocket - Two songs I really like, but one I like more than the other.

2. Lee Ann Womack - I Hope You Dance vs Sonic Youth - Kool Thing - Flipped a coin. Both kind of become background noise to me, even after a couple of listens.

3. Martina McBride - This One's for the Girls vs Siouxsie And The Banshees - Eve White / Eve Black - Sometimes I like Siouxsie, sometimes I don't and most the time it's neither one nor the other. This is the don't times. I actually quite liked the other one, too, which made this even easier.

4. Flyleaf - I'm So Sick vs Vixen - Edge Of A Broken Heart - I was really tempted to put up four or five Vixen tracks, but limited myself to no more than two per artist. I quite like the other one, so it's a shame it's not up against some of the others here.

5. Melissa Manchester - Don't Cry Out Loud vs Amalia Rodriguez - Com Que Voz - NIce and easy for me.

6. Mary McGregor - Torn Between Two Lovers vs Flyleaf - All Around Me - Coin again. I liked both, though.

7. Feist - Mushaboom vs Sky Ferreira - Everything is Embarrassing - Two songs I don't really care for, listened to both twice and, in the end, the Sky Ferreira song was a lot less annoying. Not helping Mushaboom is that it's used over here in an ad that really annoys me. Sorry Swan. :(

8. Wilson Phillips - Hold On vs Carmen McCrae - My Man's Gone Now - Nice and easy. I love that song.

4. Kylie Minogue - Can't Get You Outta My Head vs Yazoo - Winter Kills
Alison Moyet has a great voice which I always loved, but Kylie is a little cracker

5. Iggy Azalea/Rita Ora - Black Widow vs Kasey Chambers - The Captain
Love that Kasey Chambers song since I first heard it on the Sopranos

2. Jane Wiedlin - Rush Hour vs Berntholer – My Suitor - Nice and easy.

3. Kate Bush – The Dreaming vs Blondie - One Way or Another - Even easier.

4. Kylie Minogue - Can't Get You Outta My Head vs Yazoo - Winter Kills - I nominated a Yazoo track last time. I don't think it did too well.

5. Iggy Azalea/Rita Ora - Black Widow vs Kasey Chambers - The Captain - This was surprisingly easy.

6. Martina McBride - Independence Day vs Silent all these Years ~ Tori Amos - This is my era Tor and even though this isn't a fav, it's still a clear winner for me.

7. Sheila E-A Love Bizarre vs Weak - Skunk Anansie - I love most of the tracks on this album. Great SA stuff on here.

8. Yellow Flicker Beats - Lorde vs Hangin' Tree ~ Jennifer Lawrence - Nice and easy.

Can't believe my Mushaboom is going to lose to the Duckface Theme Song.


I don't know what you're complaining about. I had four songs in the last round, and it looks like they're all going to lose. :(

[Swan]

Yes but this should be a clear winner. That "Everything is Embarrassing" song is a truly embarrassing, terrible song.

[Swan]

And Mushaboom is, well, it's one of the best songs ever.

[christine]

The voting is nothing personal with me, I deliberately forget who has nominated what if I ever looked in the first place. Forgetting is pretty easy at my age anyway ;)
I'd rather not know whose songs are whose anyway

I never know who nominated what songs. Most of the time I don't even recognize either the artist, or the song, or both.

I usually don't look to see who nominated a song unless it's a song or artist that I've never heard before and I really like it a lot. Then get curious about who nominated it.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Yes but this should be a clear winner. That "Everything is Embarrassing" song is a truly embarrassing, terrible song.

No, it's not. It's the best new song (to me) I've discovered so far in this tournament. I was going to vote for "Mushaboom" myself (though I ridiculed it the last time it was in a tournament) until I heard "Everything is Embarrassing."

The video is stunning. It reminds me of an old Madonna video. It's got a nice beat to it. The song's been stuck in my head since I heard it. "Mushaboom" is in the lead and I'm pissed that Alanis Morisette knockoff will probably beat vivacious Sky Ferreira.

[Swan]

Vivacious? Is that a joke? She looks drugged out.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Vivacious? Is that a joke? She looks drugged out.

Maybe a tad, but I've seen much worse. I like it, though. Anyway, I don't know much about her. I never even heard of her until last night. I hope that doesn't embarrass me. I'm proud that I never knew of Kate Bush, but not knowing Sky Ferreira is a little.... embarrassing.

[honeykid]

I don't know if it's embarrassing to not know who Sky Ferreira is or not (it probably is if you're under 25) but Kate Bush had been famous for about twice as long as Sky's been alive. :D

She doesn't look drugged out though. I don't know that she'd have even passed for 'heroine chic' 20 years ago. She's quite a good looking girl, though and I agree with SC about the Madonna video look. I hadn't watched the video until Swan's comment.
