Jop Tournament Round 1.3

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

These are the other polls that should have gone up yesterday - today's fites will be up this afternoon (at about 3, if you're desperate!)


[Poll #918380]


I won't finalise the results until this round is over, but it looks like both Madonna songs, "1999", "Temptation" and the Missy record are all through.

Kelis vs Kelly: SO BORED of Milkshake now, its aloof sexiness has mulched into botherd drabness for me. Kelly sounds more alive with every play.

Jacko vs MIA: Not even a contest - Jacko sounds so hungry on this.

Prince vs Sledge: Very tough - not my favourite Sledge track, not my favourite Prince. I went for Sledge as R Beret is a bit too power-pop (does that even make sense?)

Raspberry Beret is my favourite Prince song these days. Much of this stems from hearing it in Morrisons one time and having irresistable urge to dance in the frozen ready meals aisle.

It's my favourite too. Prince generally I don't enjoy as much as I feel I should, but "Raspberry Beret" is one of the few times when he put out a pop song to compete with Madonna and MJ at their best.

There's much less consensus about which Prince singles are the monsters though, with Madge and MJ there are a few guaranteed singles which everyone will rally round for but opinion is more dispersed with Prince (I'd thought 'When Doves Cry' was the closest to consensus he'd come but fat lt of good that did it last time :( )

I don't even like "When Doves Cry". The only other songs apart from RB that I would say I really love are "Let's Go Crazy", "Money Don't Matter 2 Nite" and "Get Offf".

I had to think about what you meant by that, but once it clicked, you sold me. I have to say, though, that Sledge is generally a tad too sing-songy for me.
