Arduous qualifiers completed, it's now time for the songs that made it through to get horrifically mangled in the tournament proper.

One fite, one vote.

Re: Surprised by the strength of "Temptation"

[koganbot]

I don't have freestyle electronically, unfortunately ('cept for that Fannypack mix of "When I Hear Music"/"Lookout Weekend"). Here were the freestyle (and near freestyle) tracks that made the top 100 singles list I did for Radio On in 1992 (alphabetical):

Company B "Fascinated"
Corina "Temptation"
Cover Girls "Inside Outside"
Cynthia "Change On Me"
Debbie Deb "When I Hear Music"
Madonna "Everybody"
Lisette Melendez "A Day In My Life (Without You)"
Diana Ross "Swept Away"
Sequel "It's Not Too Late"
Judy Torres "Come Into My Arms"

"Swept Away" and "Everybody" would probably be considered Close To Freestyle Without Being Freestyle As Such. And this list only scratches the surface, of course; for instance, it leaves off Shannon's great "Let The Music Play" and "Give Me Tonight." "Come Into My Arms" hasn't made it to YouTube or I'd link it so that you could marvel at the similarities and dissimilarities to "It's A Sin." (The two records came out more or less at the same time, so didn't influence each other.)
