RE-DO of Tusk Song Survivor.

[Patti]

I guess I'll go with Never Forget (pouting that Save Me A Place has immunity).

Poor 'Sara'. That song was all about beautiful production by Lindsey and the band. Oh well, er I mean and remain....

Not That Funny

see ya

I want to. I have tried to. But I don't get it.

What makes it stand out?
The lyrics make an ok statement, sure... but not as good of a statement as his other 'Tusk' songs.
The harmonies are nice, but they're certainly not the best harmonies he's ever had in one of his songs.
And, when compared to the rest of his 'Tusk' tracks, "Save Me A Place" has the most basic, standard production of them all. So it's not even innovative, production-wise.

So... and i'm asking honestly here... what's the appeal?

What's the appeal of When I See You Again, easily Stevie's worst song?

I submit that nothing anyone says about Save Me A Place is going to do anything to numb your disdain of it, just like nothing you say will numb the disdain others have for When I See You Again. Can't we just let it go? The question has been asked, it's been answered, no one agrees. End of story.

Nope, it's been in place since the first tie in the Rumours Survivor and is used in the Survivor show.

Good! So I can vote for That's All for Everyone without regrets

Get rid of "Not That Funny" post haste.

We do not live in a just world when a brilliant song such as Sara gets voted off before the likes of the lyrical/musical vomit that is NTF. Sorry Carne but it SUCKS!!!!!

Cliff, the reason Sara got booted was because of the early ganging up on Save Me a Place, not because of Not that Funny. It would have been a better idea if people had laid off the sacred cows for the first few rounds and eliminated the truly weaker songs. Unfortunately, too many people didn't see it that way, so Sara drowned.

Save Me a Place is safe for now! That makes me happy.

I'm surprised so many people don't like That's All for Everyone. It's a beautiful lush song.

...and can't we all agree that Save Me a Place is a MUCH better song than NTF?

In my humble opinion, it's a better song. But I also like NTF a lot. Do you think NTF is inferior to things like Never Make You Cry, Brown Eyes, Never Forget and Over and Over? I like NTF better than even Beautiful Child, which I understand is a sentimental around here but I always thought it was Stevie's weakest song on the album.

Really, I think just about every Lindsey and Stevie song is better than Christine's contributions in this album, though I like about half of Chris' songs enough.

Why the fixation on The Ledge? It's delightfully quirky and in-your-face. You're throwing away your vote every time. Use it more wisely. Vote for Never Forget.

I LOVE Brown Eyes and Never Forget is okay, I don't think I would vote it off first. Like someone said earlier, the Mirage live version of NTF is so jarring that the song is kind of ruined because of it. I have to vote off what I skip over the most and NTF is #1 on that list.

Over and Over will be my next choice to go if NTF isn't voted off. I'm still in shock that Honey Hi is so loathesome to everyone, what gives?

SAVE NOT THAT FUNNY!!!


Ehm..

Never Forget
