The Pop Open Round 3.2 (and 3.1 RESULTS)

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

This round sees lockedintheatti and piratemoggy send their songs into a Robot Wars style ring. Except without house robots (if we did have house robots they would be Daft Punk).

Hear the songs here: http://freakytrigger.co.uk/ft/2007/12/pop-open-week-151/

And then vote. You have four voting options:

VOTE FOR TRACK THREE
VOTE FOR TRACK FOUR
ABSTAIN IN FAVOUR OF TRACK THREE
ABSTAIN IN FAVOUR OF TRACK FOUR

You can only vote for a track if you've not heard it. An abstain would be used when you know one track but can't bear to give your vote to the other, or when you know BOTH and want to express a preference. Abstains are only counted in the event of a tied vote.

I've used a text box cos it's less obvious who's winning!

[Poll #1100226]

Meanwhile the first person to go through to the finals is mackromackro, whose track "But" by Kumi Kuma beat the Max'C track credoimprobus submitted. Well done him and he can start thinking about the WINTER track for the next round.

Next up: stevem78 vs byebyepride

Re: Kumi Koda. "But" is really atypical of her discography. Kumi actually started out trying to break the UK and US in 1999/2000 (singing in English) but failed miserably. So she concentrated in her home country (Japan) since then. Her major breakthrough was in 2003, singing the final song pair in Final Fantasy X-2, hence instant fame. Within the past couple of years, Kumi Koda has been blatantly embracing U.S./UK production styles for the dancier numbers, especially from Timbaland, but she remains primarily a crooner in chart-topping love ballads in Japan. "But" came from nowhere, which is part of the reason I chose it. It sounded like P!nk over an Ed Banger track but with a more dynamic vocal range. What else do you need really? (ok ok)

blah blah, anyway!
