u2 best song survivor: boy round 1

[KhanadaRhodes]

okay folks, this is it: the first round of boy. this survivor is in many ways the same as previous survivors. you will be voting off your least favourite out of all songs listed. however, this will be done by email only. any votes made in here or by any other method will not be counted.

as for voting, please pick your least favourite out of the following list. when deciding your vote, please base it off the studio recording. no live songs are allowed (aside from two shots of happy, one shot of sad). if the song is a remix, it will be stated. otherwise, assume we are going off the original studio release.

the songs:
i will follow
twilight
an cat dubh
into the heart
out of control
stories for boys
the ocean
a day without me
another time, another place
the electric co.
shadows and tall trees
street mission
shadows and tall trees (demo version)

out of control (u2 three)
stories for boys (u2 three)

things to make and do

please mail all votes to u2survivor@gmail.com - please put the round (in this instance, boy round 1) in the title of the email so i'll know which round you're voting for. that's the only requirement for the email. well, that and obviously i need to know what you want voted off! and this should go without saying, but only one email per person. if i find out someone is using multiple email addresses (and i can find out) in each round, all votes you submitted for the round will be null and void. if i see continued abuse, i will disqualify all your votes. i hope this won't happen though!

also, while i would prefer you not post in this thread to say what you voted, it's not forbidden or anything. i would just like the voting to stay as impartial as possible.

Can I ask why you have chosen email rather than concealing the current votes?

because you can still see the results and change your vote accordingly to strategically vote. it doesn't matter see who has voted for what, or not, but the overall results.

Most forums I use have the option to conceal the results of the vote until the poll has finished. Sorry if I was initially unclear.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

yeah, sadly that's not an option here. i wish it were though! though given how few emails i've received it might be really easy to tally these results manually

There are a few there I wanted to give a relisten to, then I'll send my email.

Would it perhaps be better to run this as a "vote for favourites" kind of deal, one round an era, with the top song(s) proceeding? Or something else quicker along those lines.

It seems people are really lazy and won't participate if there isn't a handy little poll to click. Do you remember the first edition of Survivor, when everybody posted their vote in the thread and the votes were manually tallied? We couldn't even manage 50 votes in the GRAND FINAL between Streets and One.
