To decide, please order the above three as follows: +3 +2 +1 As soon as all six loyal voters have decided (although if anyone else wishes to participate, feel free), the winner will be announced. I'll start things off: +3 Natalie Cole - This Will Be +2 James Brown - Get Up I Feel Like Being A Sex Machine +1 Clash - (White Man) In Hammersmith Palais

(between Natalie Cole and James Brown, predicting the final set of Leonardo votes, so another vote-off will mean 3-3 each if no-one changes vote-patterns) It was marginal for me between Natalie and James, so I'll prob switch to break the deadlock... probably
