Best Song Survivor: Grand Final I

[Axver]

Please vote for your LEAST FAVOURITE song.

It's been a very long time coming, but welcome to the first grand final in Best Song Survivor! The object of this game is to find Interference's favourite U2 song. To do so, songs will be eliminated album-by-album in 24 hour long rounds to leave just one song left standing as the very favourite. Only original U2 songs with official studio releases will compete. Due to dominating past tournaments and the inevitable likelihood that they will do the same this time, Where The Streets Have No Name and One are not in the tournament and can be assumed default equal #1 over and above the ultimate winner.

The loser in the last 2000s semi final was Breathe, sending Beautiful Day, Kite, Magnificent, and Moment Of Surrender to the grand finals. The most well represented album in the grand finals is The Unforgettable Fire, the only album to have three qualifiers. Boy, October, HTDAAB, and the miscellaneous groupings all have no representation.

I can't believe we're finally here.

In a sense, voting in this round is easy - to me the 2000s songs are obviously weaker than the other 12 tracks. But choosing which one of them to boot is harder. Might hold onto my vote for now, though I'm currently swayed towards voting off Beautiful Day.

 

[SamuelSmeloc]

Beautiful Day.

 

[Acrobat51829]

Moment of Surrender

 

[alanah]

Asoh.

 

[2861U2]

Mos

 

[Slopsy]

Quite easily Kite.

 

[SamuelSmeloc]

C'mon, ASOH?

 

[SethVincent]

Tuf

 

[alanah]

C'mon, ASOH?

Why not? I like BD more than ASOH.

 

[SamuelSmeloc]

Shame on you!

 

[emzz]

Yay grand final

 

[alanah]

Shame on you!

I'm blind.

 

[SamuelSmeloc]

I'm blind.

You blind Sheep!

 

[U2DMfan]

Beautiful Day barely over Kite, which surprised even me.

I guess I'm a little sick of BD and I just watched that awesome Kite video with the didgeradoo the other day.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

too much to choose from!

i went wif moment of surrender.

 

[coolian2]

bad, i guess. frankly the order of the first bunch of songs that go won't worry me, so whatevs.

maybe as long as my vote won't really matter, i'll start voting for new year's day instead.

 

[intedomine]

Gone, End Of World, One Tree Hill and Kite are obvious weak links here, really dunno how they made it this far. Gone especially, and it's got my vote this round.

New Years Day, Zooropa, Beautiful Day, Magnifique and Unforgettable Fire are the obvious masterpieces from which I hope the winner is sourced.

Prior to the grand final, Where The Streets Have No Name is the anthem which should be sung by all compeititors, as it is the winner of the previous competition, if I can recall correctly.

Nope, One has won both past editions.

 

[intedomine]

Nope, One has won both past editions.

Fair enough, did Streets gain any ground on One in the most recent competition, percentage-wise?

The first time around, One won by a single vote. The second time, I think it was more clear to One, but I can't find it via search now.

 

[Purplereign]

Got the trusty ole goosebumple-meter out again . . . Kite by a pimple or two


. . . oh, and that ASOH, TUF and Bad have any votes at all at this stage of the game is more than a little bit ordinary, in fact, it's positively

 

[The Sad Punk]

GTFO Magnificent.

Anyone voting ASOH at this stage clearly has, uh, some kind of a... problem, or something.

 

[Mauwer]

Tough already , it was between Kite & UTEOTW
I went today for UTEOTW ( studio production`s a bit crap on that one )
But it could`ve been Kite also.
It`s just that those two are the weakest in this Final , but that might be just me

Cheers ,

Mauwer

 

[bathiu]

A Sort Of Homecoming... and I don't have any kind of problems, or something...

 

[The Sad Punk]

A Sort Of Homecoming... and I don't have any kind of problems, or something...

Ah, they all try to deny it at first.

 

[CTU2fan]

ASOH is leading?

And oh isn't that peachy my best option to save it is Kite? What the hell?

 

[ramblin rose]

The fact that ASOH is leading is absolutely unbelievable.

 

[Spoutnik]

Beautiful day

U2's "Diet coke",of the list.
