All the songs I have picked are songs that are constantly in the gay clubs I go to! :')

Proud Mary is a favourite in there as well, everyone goes mental :3
Don't let Ike hear you talk about gay and Proud Mary. He will beat yo skinny white ass.

8. Garbage - Queer vs. Village People - Y.M.C.A. (both good)

9. Years & Years - Real vs. K.D. Lang - Constant Craving (both good. Real is more of a grower, I should probably have nominated Shine instead)

11. The Rolling Stones - When the Whip Comes Down vs. Skunk Anansie - Secretly

12. Savage Garden - I Want You vs. Azaelia Banks - 212



Oh good. Everyone's voted. I will count the votes and move on, then.

I did like the Azaelia Banks song too.

That's Harvey Fierstein eating some kind of big sausage, I guess. Looks good. I would love to have it.

ROUND 1, PART 2

1. Rocky Horror Picture Show - Time Warp vs. Sophie Hawkins - Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover

Did not know that was a queer song. I've always liked that.

2. Mika - Grace Kelly vs. George Michael - I Want Your Sex

3. Queen and David Bowie - Under Pressure vs. Tina Turner and Ike Turner - Proud Mary

Not sure how this is a queer song besides the "Proud" thing, but it's Tina and I'm tired of hearing "Under Pressure" all the time in different places.

4. Madonna - Express Yourself vs. Kate Nash - Sister

5.
Placebo - Nancy Boy vs. Baltimora - Tarzan Boy

Ugh. Stuff like "Nancy Boy" should embarrass the gay community, not empower it.

6. Cher - Believe vs. Cheyenne Jackson - Don't Wanna Know

Speaking of embarrassment, I regretted not nominating "Believe" in my Embarrassing Song Tournament.

7. George Michael - Faith vs. Melissa Etheridge - Come to My Window

8. John Grant - GMF vs. Elton John - Someone Saved My Life Tonight

9. Peter Allen - Go To Rio vs. Sara Bareilles - Brave

10. Queen - I Want to Break Free vs. Stephen Trask - Wicked Little Town (Tommy Gnosis Version)

11. Pete Townshend - Rough Boys vs. Culture Club - Miss Me Blind

12. Culture Club - I'll Tumble 4 Ya vs. Elton John - I'm Still Standing

I hate the thought of losing either. I'm going with my nom.

I like that "Rough Boys" nom. I remember hearing that song a long time ago and liking it. Hadn't heard it since.



ROUND 1, PART 2

1. Rocky Horror Picture Show - Time Warp vs. Sophie Hawkins - Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover-I used to have fun doing the Time Warp dance, but as a song, I would have preferred Sweet Transvestite.

2. Mika - Grace Kelly vs. George Michael - I Want Your Sex-Both ok for me, and I'm probably voting for familiarity.

3. Queen and David Bowie - Under Pressure vs. Tina Turner and Ike Turner - Proud Mary-I prefer the second song, and have nominated it myself in the past, but I'm just not feeling the gay there.

4. Madonna - Express Yourself vs. Kate Nash - Sister-That's a good Madonna song though.

5. Placebo - Nancy Boy vs. Baltimora - Tarzan Boy-The first was good but I've always liked the other.

6. Cher - Believe vs. Cheyenne Jackson - Don't Wanna Know-Not a fan of either, but that matchup is a goldmine of gayness.

7. George Michael - Faith vs. Melissa Etheridge - Come to My Window-Good close match; I'll just go with my own nomination.

8. John Grant - GMF vs. Elton John - Someone Saved My Life Tonight-First was decent, but that's one of my favorite Elton John songs.

9. Peter Allen - Go To Rio vs. Sara Bareilles - Brave-First time hearing both, liked both.

10. Queen - I Want to Break Free vs. Stephen Trask - Wicked Little Town (Tommy Gnosis Version)-Nice match; both are good and gay.

11. Pete Townshend - Rough Boys vs. Culture Club - Miss Me Blind-Very close, sticking with my nom.

12. Culture Club - I'll Tumble 4 Ya vs. Elton John - I'm Still Standing-Two good songs.




1. Rocky Horror Picture Show - Time Warp vs. Sophie Hawkins - Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover

2. Mika - Grace Kelly vs. George Michael - I Want Your Sex
I actually liked the other one, too bad it's up against George Michael.

3. Queen and David Bowie - Under Pressure vs. Tina Turner and Ike Turner - Proud Mary
I like Proud Mary, but Under Pressure's my nom.

4. Madonna - Express Yourself vs. Kate Nash - Sister

5. Placebo - Nancy Boy vs. Baltimora - Tarzan Boy

6. Cher - Believe vs. Cheyenne Jackson - Don't Wanna Know

7. George Michael - Faith vs. Melissa Etheridge - Come to My Window
I like Come to My Window a lot, but I gotta stick with my own.

8. John Grant - GMF vs. Elton John - Someone Saved My Life Tonight

9. Peter Allen - Go To Rio vs. Sara Bareilles - Brave

10. Queen - I Want to Break Free vs. Stephen Trask - Wicked Little Town (Tommy Gnosis Version)
I love that Queen song, but I love Hedwig more.

11. Pete Townshend - Rough Boys vs. Culture Club - Miss Me Blind

12. Culture Club - I'll Tumble 4 Ya vs. Elton John - I'm Still Standing
