    Whigfield
    Oasis

    I probably prefer the Brightman / Bocelli song than most others in the competition but as it's more classical, I don't feel it really belongs here.

    M1 - No Doubt

    M2 - Oasis

    Both songs are still fantastic to play now as they were back then. Whigfield, while fun, is only something you’d really get at a 40th or something. As for the Bocelli offering, I don’t feel it really fits the spirit of this competition, for lack of a better explanation.

    I actually typed my reasons up before reading the thread and I feel pretty much the same.

    No Doubt (best song left in the competition by a mile)

    Oasis (not their best song but the better of the two in this semi)

    Saves me writing something very similar. Same for me.

    There's not much in it and I've listened to both freshly... I've flip flopped back and forth too but I've just made my decision and I'm happy with it.

    Great comeback win from No Doubt. And good to see that, despite the highly questionable music buying habits of the 1990s Irish general public, we have a decent quality final. A victory for credibility of the forum games section of boards.ie I would say!

    There's never been credibility here, just a long history of terrible decisions and wasted potential.
