The Love & Heartbreak Song Tournament


Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and love is in the air, so this is a good time for a Valentine's Song Tournament. If you're in love, that means love songs. If not, heartbreak songs are eligible too. And for those of you who recently ended a relationship, or someone else ended one with you, breakup songs, and even kiss-off songs, are eligible too.



Please Note: There have been a lot of drop-outs from these tournaments recently, so if you're not planning to vote throughout the entire tournament, you're welcome to comment and join the discussion, but please don't join the tournament just to drop out later. It affects the flow of the tournament, and upsets the host.

Plus, due to the fact that it's unfair to the other members of the tournament, the new rule is that if you drop out, your songs will automatically be eliminated, and if necessary, whatever songs they're up against will get a free pass to the next round.



Rules:
All genres are eligible, with no limitations on genre, but the themes is Valentine's songs, as listed above. In addition, songs that are previous tournament winners and songs that are over 10 minutes long are NOT eligible.

I think it's safe to assume that everyone will be able to nominate at least eight songs, so you can start posting your nominations as soon as you join the tournament. Please keep your nominations in one post. You can edit your nominations up until the time the nominations close, but please make a new post to let everyone know that your nominations have changed.

Any song is allowed as long as you can provide a link to it. Everyone uses YouTube, but you can also link from other sites if you prefer, as long as they don't require anyone to sign up for the site to listen to the song.

To be fair to everyone, you must listen to both songs to vote. You must vote from the beginning of the tournament to continue voting throughout the tournament. Unless a tie-breaking vote is requested, anyone who hasn't voted consistently will not be allowed to vote in the final rounds.

If you have any questions, please ask.

You can't make a rainbow without a little rain.
I'd love to join, but it's late here so I'll get round to posting mine a bit later on!
You'll have plenty of time to choose your nominations. I'll be out most of the day tomorrow, so this will be open at least until I get back tomorrow.

I made time, and I decided just to post mine now, because I'll just forget otherwise



BTW, GB, it looks like Mojo changed one of his songs.
Oh yeah, I did.


gbg, take out Billy Ocean - Suddenly, and replace it with Billy Joel - She's Got A Way


Thanks!

Got it. Thanks.


BTW, you're all welcome to change your nominations until the nominations close, just make sure that you make a new post to let me know what you've changed.



I've got way more songs on my mind.
The following are some that almost made my cut.
Other MoFo's are welcome to take them as their own:








I would have nominated that a long time ago if I could have found it, you sneaky bastard!
It's not on Youtube. I'm not particularly happy that it's not... but Prince always takes down his songs. I hope that one doesn't go away.

Prince is one greedy SOB!
Genius musician, but what a bastard!
Great find, SC, and sure enough, he/they will find it and it will be taken down
