Maths fail.

 

Next person take two more off Pav please. And will everyone PLEASE stop trying to cheat the song some extra points FFS or it’ll be the first time I actually ban a song rather than a player.

 

In my defence, I was knackered last night and wanted to go to bed for over an hour but had to wait til midnight to have a final say in the 00s Grand Final!

I adore that version of Nessun Dorma and usually I'd vote for it without question, but it clearly won't last long in a final given the scrapping here so I'm going to stick with a nice pop song about a mum's love for her small child.

’Now That We Found Love’ (the original) is a wonderful song in that almost reggae category.  I don’t mind this Heavy D interpretation either.

Since character issues seem to enter the fray now and again, you’ll not find me supporting faux-Christian-music-singer-turned-home-wrecker, and neither should you.

Amy pissing off the evangelicals by being relatively normal and supporting gay people are points in her favor.

Or you could vote for an actual gay person in the B-52s offering.  BTW no one (and I mean no one) does the male part of Love Shack at karaoke better than SirC.

lol

I'm downvoting them because my friends think they're one of my favorite bands for some reason, so I have to hear them all the time, including recommending I sing them at karaoke. Even heated arguments insisting that I love them. I count this happening at least 3 times this year alone with people who do not even know each other but all came to the same conclusion.

I have no issue with the band as people, and it would be easier if I liked their music.

Nomad deserves points galore. Not just because it absolutely slaps, but also that it was kept off No.1 by Do The fucking Bartman.
