a3quit4s | 4,108 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Don't get me wrong I do like Take on Me, I just like I Ran better. I really don't like Flashdance and tried to make an argument that Your Love was a better song than the finalists. Who didn't see the final two coming a mile away anyways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH | 4,924 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 How is this the finals? Shouldn't this be a 4-way vote rather than two polls, if that's the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearcat-Doug | 5,105 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 I could go either way on the finals, but I like Take On Me slightly better. The third place vote was easier for me. Even though The Outfield grew on me as the tournament went on, I like What a Feeling better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed Rothchild | 9,552 Editorials Team · Posted May 25, 2021 Author Share Posted May 25, 2021 And I already have the next bracket ready to go (since people seem to enjoy this). It will be revisiting previous debate thread artists (since I've been asked if we could do that numerous times). I've also avoided certain songs that I think will run a train on the competition ala Take on Me. So no Billie Jean, for example... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorEncore | 3,691 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 I wrote in Higher Love as overall winner since you forgot to include it in the bracket. Don't beat yourself up over it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twiztor | 851 Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 "Take on Me" is a fantastic video. i really don't have a strong opinion between these two songs, but the kickass vid gets a-ha my vote. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won't see Power of Love for example. Or maybe we'll have one or two clear frontrunners again, despite my efforts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbd39 | 2,026 Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Voted for Take On Me and Flashdance. Both were a tough call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abelardo | 154 Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 No surprises regarding the outcome lol, solid top 4 for sure, out of the 64 songs I only had 5 of them in my playlist, most had an early exit but it's nice to see 2 of them against each other for 1st, I voted Take on Me even though I really like both songs.

Well done. On 5/25/2021 at 9:42 AM, Reed Rothchild said: And I already have the next bracket ready to go (since people seem to enjoy this). I do enjoy this. Interesting how disruptive a "really good" song can be. Does there eventually need to be a cage match of heavy hitters though? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Rothchild | 9,552 Editorials Team · Posted May 28, 2021 Author Share Posted May 28, 2021 Final bump. I'm starting the next bracket on Tuesday. Why not, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
