"Groove" vs. "...Baby" - Hard one (though it took me all of two seconds to make the tick). "...Baby" 'cause it has (even more) feeling. As I hinted upthread, a prob I have w/ my fave Madonnas is that they were surrounded by other just-as-good or better club tracks, even if the others didn't storm the Top 40. Also "Groove" doesn't quite rank w/ "Everybody" and "Holiday," which were wonderfully poignant dance ditties by anonymous-who-knows-who in their day.

"Freak" vs. "SUBG" - Even harder - both tracks were #1 P&J for me - but "SUBG" got my tick over "Train Kept A-Rollin'" for having more feeling and for representing The Right Now even better; but come to think of it "Train Freak" represents a BIGGER "Right Now," even if it's from several years back, 'cause pulls in more of the experimentalism and creativity that should be here and represents the 1965 experiment and as much as the 2001. 2037? (Good thing I ticked fast or I'd be at this one all day.)

"Tainted" vs. "Buffalo" - Both are lucky to have gotten this far; fighting for the honor to be crushed by Missy, MadsBrit, or SnP. I ticked "Buffalo" for being dreamier and for its experiment.

"Push It" vs. "Groove Is In The Heart" - Groove never made it to my heart; an easy "Push It."

I predict "Billie Jean" vs. "Get Ur Freak On" in the final, with "Don't Stop Till You Get Enough" and "Push It" their two biggest challengers. Won't know how I'll tick 'til it happens.

Both are lucky to have gotten this far - Disappointing to get this far along, see so many good things go down, and get to a fite where I want BOTH to lose.

The thing with 'Buffalo Stance' is, how often do you get songs which are both totally dreamy and completely roughneck?
