    Save Tonight - it's an iconic song, it has to go through.

    Butterfly - both great songs, but Butterfly was one of my own nominations, so I'm backing it 100%

    Save Tonight, a classic and I'd say a contender to win.

    Kiss Me, it's just a better song than Butterfly.

    Save Tonight
    Kiss Me

    Better songs IMO

    Ditto, though I do like Kiss Me as well, so won't be too sad if it goes through.

    Baby I Love Your Way and Kiss Me for the hopeless romantic in me

    Save Tonight

    Kiss Me ,

    Two good songs tbf !

    Save Tonight, because the big mountain song is only a cover version.

    And crazy town, because although it's a sample, it's a great use of the RHCP riff.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,525 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    Save Tonight, cracking song

    Kiss Me, better of the two, those crazy christians

    Save Tonight. Ahh, the memories that go with that song.

    Butterfly. This gets my vote as I wouldn't be a fan of Kiss Me.

    This one anyways cos it's great, love listening to it.


    My vote is for sale in the other battle, convince me peeps.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,387 ✭✭✭✭TheValeyard


    R 2 Match 15

    Glorious - Andreas Johnson (seems less bad than the other one)

    R 2 Match 16

    4 Non-Blondes - What's Up (better song)

    All eyes on Kursk. Slava Ukraini.

    #15 - Voting for Glorious, as it's a more memorable song for me and the one I'd be more likely to put on a playlist for repeated listens. Broken isn't a bad tune by any means though.

    #16 - Bit of an odd one here, I was going for What's Up (which I have mixed feelings about) because I didn't think I liked Would I Lie To You...then I realised I was actually thinking of the Eurythmics song. :o I actually quite like the Charles and Eddy one, and it's easier on the ear than What's Up.

    So tl;dr: I'm voting for Would I Lie To You

    Glorious - Andreas Johnson - My vote - I had a quick play and I recognized it. I like it now that I remember it!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    Glorious - easily one of the best songs left in the competition, so its an easy choice (even though I love Broken and up against most other songs, it would probably be my pick, so unfortunate its facing off against Glorious)

    Would I Lie To You? - this was a really tough one. Both these songs are amazing and would be happy to see either of them advance to the next round, and I keep changing my mind every couple of seconds, but I think Would I Lie To You has a slight edge.


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    What's Up. Better song.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,895 ✭✭✭tusk


    Broken please. Amy lee is a beaut

    Glorious is classic drunken singalong cheese

    What's Up for me, but that is a really close call


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,392 ✭✭✭LadySkunk


    Broken - Man I love that song :pac:


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 56,253 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Voting for Would I Lie To You as Homer put some thought into that vote, unlike youse What's Up voters.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,794 ✭✭✭Squall Leonhart


    Abstain on the first.

    Would I lie to you for the second, I nominated this one, going to see it through!
    Great song :)

    I don't think there's enough alcohol in the world that would make me deluded brave enough to reach for that high note in the chorus! I'd sound more like Shane McGowan than Andreas Johnson trying to wail that "SHEEEE EEEE EEEEE EEEEE...." part.

    I just tried, in front of my wife, sober. Didn't end well
