Jop Tournament: Semi Finals

Nissy vs Madge! Jacko vs Britney! Go go go!

[Poll #931988]

Turnout was down last round, maybe because of all the complicated extra questions (or maybe because people are sick of the poll - almost over now!), so I've kept this one simple.

Oh, comment away of course, but please no chat on the lines of "Who I will vote for in the final" :)

So far it's looking like koganbot's predictions were spot on.

Anyway both these were hard decisions for me - two songs I think are genius pinnacles of pop and two songs which I think might be genius pinnacles but I've heard a bit two often. The Madonna/Missy decision was a lot closer, and there's no way I'd be unhappy at the one I didn't vote for winning. The Britney/Jacko was a bit easier - "Toxic" is more exciting but there's a bit more to "Billie Jean", and also I feel that poor old "Push It" should be AVENGED. (I'd have taken "Push It" here EASILY).

Yes, v. hard this time. I may change my mind on BOTH my picks before voting closes.

Well, I was spot-on since I was predicting "Get Ur Freak On" vs. "Billie Jean" in the final, so obv. I was predicting them to make it to the semis, but I thought "Push It" would be their greatest challenger, and "Toxic"'s being her is a surprise. (Wouldn't be here except that third-party voting for the PSBs cut into SnP's totals, which implies to me that though SnP would have won head-to-head, "Toxic"'s fans are more committed to it.)

"Toxic"'s being here, that is; comments today suggest that "Toxic"'s not being her (compared to some of her other tracks) has helped propel it.

At the time I posted that your two picks as finalists were absolutely romping home (10 to 1 in one case) - obviously things are a lot closer now!
