May 21, 20196 yr Presumably the last 3 will be Hung Up / Frozen / Like a Prayer in some order? What other options are you guys considering before then? Vogue? La Isla Bonita? Papa Don’t Preach?

Presumably the last 3 will be Hung Up / Frozen / Like a Prayer in some order? What other options are you guys considering before then? Vogue? La Isla Bonita? Papa Don’t Preach? Yep, all those are in line. It's just about working out what to use until then. We need songs that can compete with the type of songs that the other forums are sending which are, generally, modern bops that appeal to general fans as well as hardcore fans. There's 80s classics like 'Holiday', 'Into the Groove' and 'Open Your Heart', fan favourites like 'The Power of Goodbye' and the more 'modern' sounds of 'Music' and '4 Minutes'... just about deciding what would do well in a competition like this.
May 22, 20196 yr Express Yourself this time eh? Could be risky!!! Although I don't know what I'd have gone for instead to be fair - the older ones aren't known with younger posters while the later ones are not stanned across Buzzjack in the same way that some of the more recent acts with a forum are. Anyway, I've voted - primarily just for Madge and Gaga but I found 7 other passable ones.

Yeah that's the dilemma we're having! We've got a solid string of big hitters for the final rounds but it's just working out what can take us up to that point. We've got the singles rates as a guide but that can only help so much as we've got to consider what will appeal to fans of the other, more recent, acts. Feels like a few forums are using their big hitters very early on so hopefully they'll run out of material before long!
May 22, 20196 yr EY is a a safe choice I stan! think 4 Minutes would have been a good choice for this round or around now. I've noticed big recentish hits are doing better than in-forum fan favs, it's the kind of song that would pick up loads of casual votes I think.
May 22, 20196 yr Author Yeah I was wondering about that one. It would appeal to casual voters but would those gains be cancelled out by losing the support of Madonna fans and other pop fans?
May 22, 20196 yr Author I'm shocked! I know it's much older than the other songs in the poll but it's very well-known and catchy. It's underperformance gives us less options as I don't see the likes of 'Holiday' or 'Open Your Heart' performing any better if this couldn't. We'll be going for something more modern next round, possibly 'Jump' or '4 Minutes'. Kinda wondering how 'Die Another Day' would do - a polarising Bond theme but as a song itself it seems to be favoured a lot more recently.
May 23, 20196 yr this is slaying :D you should probably not vote for it, unfair on the rest at the top tbh
May 23, 20196 yr I mean like a Prayer and frozen won buzzjack a best number 1 , so really doesn’t make sense.
May 23, 20196 yr Author Due to the round being a single elimination and not a double, we make it through to the next round! Thank God! :drama: Placed 15th with 24 votes. Results So Far Round 1: Ray of Light - 11th out of 24 songs / 30 votes out of 71 Round 2: Don't Tell Me - 18th out of 22 songs / 24 votes out of 76 Round 3: Sorry - 7th out of 20 songs / 37 votes out of 82 Round 4: Express Yourself - 15th out of 17 songs / 24 votes out of 78
