Welcome to a brand new forum game! As we wait for the Chromatica era to end (before we hold very exciting events in 2021), we're holding a SINGLES KO.

The rules are simple: between each pair, simply embolden your favourite of the two songs. When the round closes, the song with the most votes will progress to the next round, all others will be eliminated - it's BRUTAL!

For the game to work most effectively, 36 choices are needed and so I have expanded it to include any single, promotional single or song with a music video meaning we have a round number of 36

Each round, the pairings will be randomised!

Round 1 is below - let's GO

Thanks for getting us started D*! There are some very easy choices here and some that are making my head hurt trying to choose between

You And I <-> Alejandro
Til It Happens To You <-> Million Reasons
Your Song <-> John Wayne
Dope <-> A-Yo
Poker Face <-> Judas
Beautiful, Dirty, Rich <-> The Cure
Perfect Illusion <-> Telephone
Sour Candy <-> Bad Romance
I'll Never Love Again <-> Born This Way
Dance in the Dark <-> Applause
Marry The Night <-> Stupid Love
Paparazzi <-> Just Dance

Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say) <-> Do What U Want
Always Remember Us This Way <-> Rain On Me
Hair <-> LoveGame
Venus <-> 911
Shallow <-> Joanne

The most difficult one for me was 'You and I' vs. 'Alejandro' - I feel Y&I is one of her most underrated and 'Alejandro' I've only just recently grown to truly love over the past year or two - I actually think Y&I just edges it!

Posted by: HausofHitchcock 22nd November 2020, 08:54 PM

The hardest for me is: Always Remember Us This Way <-> Rain On Me - if Rain On Me is out in the first round, that'll be a shock for the ages

Seems to be quite a favourable draw for some of the 'Joanne' tracks! At least they'll survive a round!

Praying that Paparazzi can pull through in what looks like a tough match
