Best Beatles Song Survivor - 'The Beatles AKA The White Album' Draw-Final(TIEBREAKER)

[namkcuR]

Well, the Final round of the White Album draw ended in a tie - 14 for Blackbird, 14 for WMGGW.

A tie usually means both songs get eliminated, but this is a final round, so that can't happen. So, I've decided that the easiest and simplest way to resolve the matter is to open another poll and and let voting continue for another 24 hours. The combined totals will be used to decide the winner - but since we're starting with a tie, that just means whichever song gets more votes in this tiebreaker round will advance to the Final Draw.

[size=+3]I would ask that we try to keep the voting in this tiebreaker restricted to those who haven't voted yet in this round.[/size]

[size=+4]AND REMEMBER, VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE SONG![/size]

I say add Dear Prudence back into the mix

I say add Dear Prudence back into the mix

And I akin this to the tied Grand Final between the Kangaroos and Collingwood in '77. The first match was tied, but when it was replayed the Kangaroos absolutely blew the Maggies out of the water. Using this analogy the Kangaroos are Blackibrd, and the Pies While My Guitar Gently Weeps.

I desperately what Guitar to win but I'n not sure that it will.

Everytime I checked the last poll it was even. 11-11. Three hours later it's 12-12. Three hours later it's 14-14.

It's probably a good thing I can't vote again, since I'd likely just end up voting for the wrong song again.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I'm going with WMGGW... Like I said earlier, George needs some love in the finals...

 

[LemonMelon]

I voted a second time, but hey, I voted for the wrong song last time anyway...I wanted a second chance.

 

[LMP]

Wait a second, was your wrong vote changed to Blackbird in the last poll?

If it wasn't, then Blackbird is the winner.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

no, I think Lemon and Coriander canceled each other out, they both voted for the wrong song apparently...

 

[LMP]

Oh, I thought they voted for the SAME song incorrectly.

 

[LemonMelon]

It looks like Blackbird is on top anyway.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

for now...

 

[Lancemc]

Well would you look at that.

 

[BonosLil'Pal94]

Blackbird!!!

 

[Lila64]

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Oy vey! It's still tied

I say if it's still a tie at the end of this round, do like they do it in regular survivor:

count up the votes against each song in the previous polls and whichever one has the least amount of votes wins...

 

[Lila64]

or since it's a double album, 2 songs?

 

[LMP]

neither of these songs will win the whole tourney anyway, so add 'em both!

i'm still bitter over tomorrow never knows, guys.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

QFT!

oh, speak of the devil, Black Bird is in the lead now... let's see how long this lasts.

 

[LMP]

a day in the life should win the whole contest, or across the universe.

any other winner is a false winner.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

for me, it would be A Day In The Life vs Here Comes The Sun.

 

[LMP]

forgot about here comes the sun

any of those 3 deserves to win.

 

[namkcuR]

You're not a McCartney fan, are you?

 

[LMP]

I love McCartney's stuff, but those songs are the best of the best

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I'm actually really impressed Black Bird made it this far, I've always considered it to be one of Paul's best (along with Let It Be) and I wouldn't be angry if it won this round...

 

[LMP]

Hey Jude is a great song on headphones, I hate how it just fades though after the amazing crescendo.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Agreed...

The NAH NAH NAH NAH's do get a little annoying after the 1000th repeat...

 

[namkcuR]

Hey Jude's melody is beyond amazing. Once I start singing the melody, I can't stop. Every time.

Paul is at his best with melody.

Paul is at his worst, imo, when he tries to be all 'rock', and he ends up sounding Jerry Lee Lewis-ish.

I think you are right, this would explain why I'm not crazy about songs like USSR and Helter Skelter...

a day in the life should win the whole contest, or across the universe.

A Day In The Life and Strawberry Fields Forever are the two I'll have a tough time choosing between.
