Jop Tournament Qualifiers 2

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

The second part of the launch-day qualifiers, and these four polls are of particular interest to Prince fans (or Prince hataz) - 3 songs by him and another one written by him. The other group has the tournament debut of the Queen Of Pop.


[Poll #911684]


Tomorrow! Axl vs Bouncy! Kurt vs Jacko! Sexual Healing vs Tender Lovin Care! All coming to a poptimists entry near you.

Group H is my harshest yet - three songs I love, and a terrific underdog in the fourth slot. I think "The Message" may walk it though it's my 3rd favourite in the bunch.

Group F on the other hand is pretty weak, and I was surprised to find that the track I'd want to hear most is...The Clash!

G is intriguing.

I had no trouble with H because I'm obsessed by that Kim Carnes song, but I agree the other tracks are really pretty good too. Harder choices in the other groups; E: I'm hoping Blackstreet can hold onto that early lead, but I fear they'd get hammered in the next round so is a vote for them a vote wasted in the grand scheme of things?; F: most 'meh' selections yet; G: blimey Sledge/Bangle face-off is HARD.

It's the first hip-hop record I can ever remember dancing to.

(Though I probably danced to "Ant Rap" before that).

Group G is a really weak group. Sorry, but I think that's my least favorite Prince song among any that made these Jop polls.

Whoops, I mean Group F for the above discussion.

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

Group E is harsher I think. Poor Blackstreet, 'No Diggity' deserved better than to go up against 'Papa Don't Preach' right off, it's like at the Australian Open when up-and-coming loadsa-potential just-reached-her-first-final Russian teenager Vasilisa Bardina got drawn against Kim Clijsters in the first round and got double bagelled :(

Group F ws horrible really. Kept wishing Kim ws on there, she still got my vote tho'.
