She-Bop She only Song Tournament

Dreams is freedom

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.

But you should verify this to make sure.

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

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.

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.

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.
