and yes, it's a strategic vote

I hate strategic votes but I don't want "Save Me A Place" to leave yet (I think it's one of Lindsey's greatest, mind you), and "Honey Hi" is easily Christine's weakest song in this album... although I still like it much more than others.

The confusion of last game had nothing to do with a song. It had something to do with unclear rules.

It's just brainless to vote for a song because it survived in a game where the rules weren't clear. No. It's an action against posters. not against confusion. How can you strike against confusion by picking a song in a new game??

I hope I'm still in the neighborhood of people who can be proud of fellowfans who fight for a song they totally love. Even if it is not your song.

Not a very useful vote but I'll stick to it... for now

The more i listen to tusk reissue disk 2 the more i love Brown Eyes, the subtly strange chordage and the words...and the more I like Christine's songs in general, though they are not my usual type of song at all....

I don't know about anyone else, but I voted for "Save Me A Place" because it's truly my least favorite song on the album.

I love the harmonies and the arrangement on "Honey Hi"... I love the erotic moodiness of "Brown Eyes"... I love the discordant sounds of "That's Enough For Me," "I Know I'm Not Wrong," "The Ledge" and "Not That Funny"... I love the quirky but beautiful "That's All For Everyone" and "Walk A Thin Line"....

I actually love every song on the album but "SMAP," so I'm voting for my least favorite first.
Which is what I did last time, too. And I do believe that "SMAP" is honestly the least favorite song of at least many of the other people voting against it.
Just as I believe some people honestly despise "Sara," and some people despise "Honey Hi," and some people despise "Beautiful Child," etc.

Either way, my vote has nothing to do with "revenge for 'Sara.'"

pffftt!!!)

Yes. I'm speechless over here, too.

Wow, that's the first time I've heard a Christine song described as "erotic." And I'm sure it will be the last.

I can't believe the hate for Sara! If it is so hated, how did it become one of FM's biggest hits? Huh!? Seriously, it isn't so bad.

SAVE SARA

I can't either. While not my favorite Lindsey song on Tusk, I think SMAP is a beautiful song. And Sara's just . . . Sara. I love it.

Sara isn't "so hated." In my opinion it's one of the main favorites of the Stevie fan community. I am not, however, voting for it in strategy, but because it's my least favorite on Tusk. No, I am not kidding, or I would not have just said that. Seriously speaking, it is too slow, monotonous, and exhibits few of the artistic and creative nuances I enjoy in Stevie's work; namely, I miss the emotion, and climactic elements that make her songwriting beautiful (ie Silver Springs, GDW, Storms.) The end result is a bathos that puts me to sleep when I decide not to skip it (which is not often.) Not to mention she says "drownding"

Now feel free to fire away, but I will continue to vote until Sara is gone because it is mundane and certainly not extraordinary. (This is obviously my personal opinion or I wouldn't be saying it.)
