corianderstem · 05-12-2008, 12:31 AM

Like a Song is out.

VOTE FOR YOUR LEAST FAVORITE SONG

Polls will remain open for 24 hours.

Songs in this round:

- The Electric Co
- Gloria
- A Sort of Homecoming
- One Tree Hill
- Heartland
- The Fly
- Zooropa
- Your Blue Room
- Please
- Kite
- City of Blinding Lights
- The Three Sunrises

These songs are the winners of all the rounds, facing off to find ONE SONG TO RULE THEM (all the non-singles) ALL.

Kite. The intro bugs me, with the fake strings and whatnot. I don't think the song really gets going until "I want you to know".

Once Kite is gone, COBL is next on my hitlist.

Wow this is sooo hard to do. I was completely prepared to vote YBR next, but it randomly was next up on my stereo in my car on the way home from a very stressful work weekend and it was so gorgeously relaxing to hear that I can't bring myself to vote for it now. What do I do now?

Same as Axver, really. Though I wasn't sure if to vote COBL this round or not, I voted for it last round but I think I was the only one.

GirlsAloudFan · 05-12-2008, 02:48 AM

Electric Co., again.

U2girl · 05-12-2008, 03:05 AM

Blue room.

Agreed, oh yes I agree so much!

schnumi · 05-12-2008, 04:07 AM

dear god people are going mad, who on earth wants to vote kite out?

The Sad Punk · 05-12-2008, 04:29 AM

People with a different opinion to you?

An Cat Gav · 05-12-2008, 04:43 AM

I just think that every other song left is better than Kite.

Yeah. It's not a bad song, and one of the best on ATYCLB (not as if that's hard, though), but it pales in comparison to most here.

I'd probably have gone with COBL if Kite's studio version sounded like it did on the Vertigo Tour, though.

Electric Co
obvious!
