    When a song has won I dont count anymore votes, so voting finished on this match at 6-1. Hope that makes sense, been using this system all the way through.

    Culture Club - Karma Chameleon – It’s tolerable, unlike the other one, so gets: My Vote.

    vs

    J Geils Band – Centrefold

    R1/Match 14


    Band Aid - Do They Know It's Christmas – Classic iconic tune. My Vote.

    vs

    Madonna - Papa Don't Preach – Boring.

    R1/Match 15


    Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill - Not great, just alright, but just pips the other: My Vote.

    vs

    A Ha - The Sun Always Shines on TV

    R1/Match 16


    Communards - Don’t Leave Me This Way - It’s just okay.

    Match 13 - J Geils Band - Centrefold. Great song, almost nominated it myself.

    Match 14 - No opinion.

    Match 15 - No opinion.

    Match 16 - Temptation - Heaven 17. Tough choice, this just shades it for me.
