Welcome to Boardsies Greatest - Most Overrated Song - Live Thread.
There are 170 songs in contention to be crowned the most overrated song.
We will kick off with a qualifying round.
Format will be announced before each round.
Yeah that would be my vote in LeVars scenario. Basically vote for what you deem to be more overrated regardless if you like the song or not.
In your scenario, you should vote GnR as you personally think it's overrated. At least that's how I understand it
Well, so glad you've completely cleared that up for me... 😑
😂😂😂
Go with your gut
Eh, Believe is amazing and if anything its criminally underrated. One of the most iconic and greatest songs ever... 😋
Just so I have the spirit of the game straight in my own mind, we should be voting for the song that makes us roll our eyes the most when it comes on, and we can't comprehend why people love it so much, rather than a song that we really like or think is absolute garbage, right?
So if it was for example Nickelback - How You Remind Me (a song I personally love and don't think is overrated in the slightest, but understandable why someone may have nommed it) VS Rebecca Black - Friday (a godawful song, but no one is claiming its good, so hardly overrated) VS Guns N' Roses - Paradise City (deep down I know its not a bad song, but I'm not a fan and if it came on at a wedding, while others flocked to the dancefloor screaming "CHOON", I who was already on the dancefloor from the previous track would sigh and take this opportunity to go for a wee/smoke/pint).
So in that scenario, if I had to rank those three in order of preference, it'd be...
So taking into account everything I've said, Paradise City is the one I consider to be most overrated of the three, even though I like it more than Friday, so in that case I should be voting for Guns N' Roses - Paradise City right? From my understanding of the intention behind the tournament, this is the one I feel I should be going for
Or should I vote Rebecca Black - Friday because its the song I like least even though I wouldn't consider it "overrated", and you want to see the categorically worst song win the tournament?
Or should I be voting for the song I like most and go Nickelback - How You Remind Me because you actually want your favourite to win the tournament in a kind of "look at all the songs I've beaten" kind of way?
I'm sure I'm vastly overthinking things, but its the first tournament following the move to the new platform and I want to take it extra seriously... 😂
There are two types of song that I'll be voting against
1. The type where I think the song is brilliant, so no way is it overrated (eg, Hotel California above)
2. The type which is totally crap and everyone knows it's crap so nobody really rates it highly enough for it to be overrated (eg, Believe above).
