    Time to decide which 10 losing qualifying round songs will make it to Round 1

    11 songs scored 5 votes but lost their ties. As this isn't Spinal Tap, we need to eliminate 1

    Michael Jackson The Way You Make Me Feel - Awful
    Big Country Look Away - Okay
    Berlin Take My Breath Away - Tedious
    Cliff Richard and The Young Ones Living Doll - Passable
    Madonna Borderline - Good
    Wham! I'm Your Man - Tedious
    Eddy Grant I Don't Wanna Dance - Awful
    Johnny Logan What's Another Year - Good
    Phil Collins A Groovy Kind of Love - Good
    Michael Jackson Leave Me Alone - Awful
    Olivia Newton John and Electric Light Orchestra Xanadu - Tedious

    So that's three Awfuls I have to choose between! :D

    I'll plump for Eddy Grant's I Don't Wanna Dance. It's a particularly annoying tune. :(
