    My votes in Bold.

    Luther Vandross Never Too Much v Sam Cooke Wonderful World - very pleasant tune.

    Michael Jackson Wanna Be Startin Something v Warren G feat. Nate Dogg Regulate - clever sampling of a Michael MacDonald song.

    Bill Withers Lean On Me v Fats Waller Ain't Misbehaving/Stormy Weather - just to bring something different and bluesy to the table!

    Commodores Nightshift v MC Hammer U Can't Touch This - Great rap tune and includes that unforgettable riff from Rick James' Superfreak.

    Edit: not made about Nightshift at all!

    Sam Cooke - Wonderful World

    Warren G feat. Nate Dogg - Regulate

    Bill Withers - Lean On Me ; one of my noms edit: no it isn't actually, went for another Bill Withers song in the end, but Lean On Me is equally as class

    Commodores - Nightshift ; I agree with Strawbs in this instance

    U Can't Touch This is "meh" at best - listen to it back to back with Rick James' Super Freak though (which it ripped off sampled) and it's pure sh*te.

    Luther Vandross. But he’s up against Sam Cooke so a loss there would be to a worthy opponent.

    But MC Hammer vs The Commodores? Jesus wept! They’re even singing about two other amazing artists in Marvin Gaye & Jackie Wilson.

    Marvin Gaye - heard it through the grapevine

    Prince - when doves cry

    Aretha Franklin - respect

    James brown - get up (sex machine)

    Chic - he’s the greatest dancer

    Kendrick Lamar - King Kunta ; tough call, I've only recently started listening to Kendrick though and in this instance something relatively new and fresh beats out nostalgia

    Prince - 1999 ; this should be a no-brainer for everyone as 1999 is clearly the superior song, but as we all know terrible choices are made constantly in these tournaments

    Stevie Wonder - Superstition ; another tough one, really like both, but hard to deny how epic Superstition is

    2Pac - Changes ; I feel guilty for not voting 2Pac in the Kendrick Lamar battle, so definitely had to give him the nod here

    Votes in bold (if I'm not too late!):

    Kendrick Lemar King Kunta v Tupac Feat. Dr Dre California Love - because of the riffs

    Prince 1999 v Craig David 7 Days - still has something even if it's not his best. Have to say, though, that's not a bad Craig David song.

    Sylvestor You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real) v Stevie Wonder Superstition - great disco classic, and it's one of my nominations.

    2pac Changes v Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five The Message - Epic rap song - I forgot about that one!

    Some good tunes there, particularly 2, 4, 5 and 6. Hopefully, some will have nominated them already!

    Actually, I nominated the last song except it's not by Chic but by Sister Sledge! It's easy to make that mistake as the musicians are the whole Chic Organisation and the song was written by the two main guys of Chic (Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards)! The singers are Sister Sledge and that's who it is attributed to.
