I agree with you, Sharon. Other than that, though, I believe dissention's predictions are dead-on.

I think people are just sick of it. I am, a bit, at least. But I think GDW is a very good song, the mood of the vocal strikes me more. Plus, there is yowling at the end....

Used to love Landslide, but I got tired of it.
Maybe the final drop was when I heard my neighbours playing it, who usually play either loud bonking housemusic or some super commercial hitparadestuff.
(I don't mind either if I'm in the right mood for it, but not coming distorted through the walls, please.)

I agree. Landslide is defiinitely a diamond. It really is a small masterpiece. Lyrically, heads and shoulders above most of her songs, if not all (I enjoy Dreams lyrically quite a bit). I just don't always love listening to it as much. they're all hard choices, for me.

Hey everyone. Please make sure that you're putting ALL choices up. Last round one or two people forgot to vote on match-up or two, and that's happened this round as well. Last round every vote counted for a few matches, so don't lose your chance to make a difference!


....I sound like I'm in a lame P.S.A. here.... my apologies.

I Know I'm Not Wrong

And Chris only had one song left? And it's not one of my favorites, unfortunately. Oh well, there's always World Turning--kinda one of her songs--oh wait, it's up against SOTM, well****nevermind.

only now do i see my stevie-slanted voting... i will defend my decisions! i wish i didn't have to pick between GYOW and 'gypsy'... but i'm voting 'sara' and 'gypsy' all the way, and should it come down to those two, the only way to decide will be to twirl until i fall over, and depending on which half of the room i land on, that's my vote...

Same here

Some of those were nearly impossible though. Angel vs. I Know I'm Not Wrong was particularly evil.
