Best Song Survivor: Finals, Round Eight

[Globo14]

Voted Bad. Until the End of the World doesn't belong here, but Bad belongs here less.

That said, all 3 are outstanding.

 

[gvox]

Or, alternately, 5 people prefer Bad and Until the End of the World to Where the Streets Have No Name!

Impossible.

 

[the tourist]

Or, alternately, possible!

 

[Axver]

If the nineties rep here were The Fly or Zooropa instead of UTEOTW, I'd have voted Streets without a moment's hesitation.

 

[the tourist]

If two of New Year's Day, Pride and With Or Without You were here, I'd have easily voted Streets.

 

[lazarus]

Wondering how many people who voted for Bad haven't seen it performed live.

What's the definitive version of UTEOTW?

What's the definitive version of UTEOTW?

There are so many of them. Pretty much all of the ZooTV versions are epic. I also really like the Elevation versions. And lately, I've enjoyed listening to the late-360 versions (Montréal is fantastic, for instance). But you can't go wrong.

 

[Axver]

I can't believe it's time for the final. Seemed so far away not long ago.

 

[dazzledbylight]

oh boo i missed this!

and i see my fav of thev 3 UTEOTW is going bye bye

5 people haven't used a Q-tip in months.

Because voting on weekdays is almost always higher than voting on weekends, I think I'm going to wait until Monday (America's Monday) to start the last round.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Not wicked keen on any of these songs tbh

peace 2 everyone

 

[Diemen]

Wondering how many people who voted for Bad haven't seen it performed live.

Seriously.

 

[gareth brown]

Why did Zooropa get voted off?

don't get how UTEOTW made it this far, it's baffling really

I agree completely. ZooTV- Sydney is tough to beat but the Elevation versions come close. POPMART was good, with the LNOE tie in. I enjoyed it on Vertigo and 360, but they weren't as memorable. I do enjoy the version on Ground Up.

Nope.

How did you know? You're so smart.

Easy... it's the best song they've ever done.

That and it would appear that many of the earlier fans have a strong attachment to Streets and Bad (which is great too).

How about starting it early and just letting it run longer? Since it's the final one

There's really no need though. It's ridiculously obvious which song will win, and no amount of lengthening or shortening the voting time could possibly change it, unless digitize can do a 60 second vote period, and then casts the solitary vote.

The final is about as anti-climatic as possible.

 

[nielsgov]

I hope that everyone who voted for UTEOTW now, will vote for Streets in the final. You never know.

 

[Axver]

In past tournaments, I think we left the final round open for longer. I don't recall it ever changing the result; the second day usually had very few extra votes.

 

[OpenG180]

This Hive thing is stuck in the 80's.

That's a great idea!

 

[the tourist]

Nope.

Or, alternately, yep!

 

[Vlaco]

I don't mind Streets winning this tournament. Both songs are more than incredible

The Rotterdam version is one of my faves from 92.
U2 - Until the End of the World - Live from Rotterdam - YouTube

I also love the Kiel 6/13/92 version. No video on that one that I have found as of yet.

Or, alternately, yep!

You must be bored.
