OH DEAR.

Silver Springs is going to win, you just know it.

But I'm gonna go with Storms, because (and I know we already had a huge debate about this) to me personally, I don't view Silver Springs and Secondhand News as non-hits.

The original SS, the non-Dance version?

I meant to vote Storms...

Too bad. The Dance version is 300X better.

I went with Why. I was playing a live version of it in the car the other day, alongside the band's more familiar hits, and a friend said, "Hey, what is this song? It's damn good! Reminds mean of Wean." He was right. Why has great chords and melody. It sounds good in every version I've heard.

Yeah, even the original... aside from the cult status it's gotten due to the story of it, it's immense popularity,my mom knows it from the radio when she was a youngster (and this is someone who thought that Lindsey sung all of Christine's songs... ALL of them )....

idk, I had to rationalize in some way not voting for it because it IS flawless. I just feel like it's the same as calling the White Album version of Landslide a 'non-hit.'

it is a non-hit according to CAD-MSB rules.

i'm with everybody who says Silver Spring and Second Hand News should have never been a part of the non-hits poll. but i was over-argued over and over again, so no need to start the same old argument again.

Tell it to the music industry Elle. A song can't be a hit if it's not released as a single.

Thumbs up Let's discuss the final four songs...

Why - I find it awesome that it has made it so far all the way to the finals and that it's Christine only song here...its like the "Little Engine That Could"

Second Hand News - one of my top favorite Lindsey songs; nice saucy lyrics!

Silver Springs - its okay; too sweet and bouncy sounding; not a favorite Stevie or Mac song

Storms - I fall in and out of love with this one all the time. Right now I love it!

What's your take on these songs? Suprised by any songs that lost along the way in the contest?
