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!

 

Each round, the pairings will be randomised!

Did not see you voting against Rain On Me anytime soon D:

Happy that Paparazzi made it through fairly narrowly but noooo at Venus going out in one of the closest battles :cry:

'Do What U Want' vs 'Alejandro' was tough as both are incredible so I'm siding with what I assume is the underdog, 'Shallow' and 'Telephone' is close as they're both very solid without being her very best for me. The other decisions I made quite easily.

Right choice!

the only one that was tough was DWUW v Alejandro. I used to much prefer DWUW but obvs have cooled on it over past couple years, still giving it my vote tho! The rest... well they weren't hard xo
