May 31, 200817 yr id have gone with aretha if you had chosen 'dont play that song for me', which i regard as her best (well my fav by her anyway) but 'respect' is of course her strongest track, good choices but i just went with japan.
May 31, 200817 yr This was a difficult choice as they are both great songs, but I finally went for Aretha

Oh aye I agree but it's just to keep the clash on top and attract more votes.

June 9, 200817 yr Author If there is no vote to decide this then I will use a casting vote to decide who wins this as I don't want anymore ties. (Unless someone has a better idea!)
