Paj! Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 RULES; Basically, 63 (and one randomly chosen song) tracks have been nominated by our forum members to go head to head against one another. All matches have been ranomly decided using a number randomizer thingie, sp it's fair. 1. Before voting for which song you choose, you MUST listen to both songs in FULL. If you see a band you love against an unknown, that is not an excuse to instantly vote for that band. Another point of this whole game is to expose new music to people. Base it truthfully on your favourite, not on who you THINK'll be your favourite. 2. No flaming, not that I imagine there will be. 3. If all 3 of your choices are knocked out, please continue to post! You agreed to do so by nominating. Plus it's good for expanding musical horizons. 4. have fun, it's a game blah blah JUST VOTE. 5. ATM, i'm going at 2 threads created a day, one closed a day. Or actually just 1 open, 1 closed. Whatever. ------ MATCH 5 Poker Face - Lady GaGa Why - Avril Lavigne ---- Match 1: Led Zeppelin vs. Train Match 2: Faith No More vs. Oasis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bren Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 doesnt seem to :P ill find one somewher and listen to it. Also, we should have a results thread stickied, so we can see who's won easily, and so it stays at the top of the playground :P edit: Its gonna have to be Avril Lavigne, even though that song sucks, it was better than that other song, that was so cheesy it was unreal, and the woman seemed so robotic, i wonder if she knows her music sucks.

chairdriver Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 I'm going to vote for Avril Lavigne. I don't really like either song. I usually really like electro-y alterna-pop, but Lady Gaga just doesn't do anything for me. I like Avril Lavigne, especially when she does slower, more-heartfelt songs. I just don't like Why as a song. Still, I prefer it to Poker Face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted November 29, 2008 Author Share Posted November 29, 2008 NONE OF THE YOUTUBE VIDS ARE WORKING, PLEASE GO TO THE SITE ITSELF. Just for emphasis. That's a good idea Skunk, I'll look into it (busy atm). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddage Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Avril Lavigne for me. The Lady Gaga song just seemed ridiculously generic to me, whereas 'Why' wasn't too bad a song! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted November 29, 2008 Author Share Posted November 29, 2008 Hmm...while I too like kinda electro-pop, and I enjoyed the verses of Poker Face, it seemed like it didn't really know where it was going...not to keen on the chorus, and yeah, sounds a bit generic. I prefer her other singles I've heard. I think I'll go with Avril Lavigne, though again, I've heard better from her.

EchoDesiato Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 They both suck balls. Hard choice. I'm voting for the Lady Gaga song, for no reason at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaggis Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 I've always loved that Avril song, and that's one of Lady Gaga's songs I don't paticularly like. So, I'm going with Avril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganepark32 Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Neither are particularly great. One has good verse and the other has a half decent chorus. I enjoyed the chorus in Poker Face but the rest of it wasn't to my liking. It's the kind of stuff I'd try and stay away from although that's not to say it was awful. Just that the rest of the song wasn't as good as the chorus. My vote goes to Avril Lavigne although I feel the main problem with her song is that she doesn't have the voice for it, which is more noticeable towards the end. It needed someone with a stronger voice. Can't think of someone at the moment who would provide that. I'll think on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZourceman Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Ewww I don't particularly like Avril....but....it was marginaly better than Gogagigu. Avril Lavigne Why were you born. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoogleViper Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 My vote goes to Avril Lavigne although I feel the main problem with her song is that she doesn't have the voice for it, which is more noticeable towards the end. It needed someone with a stronger voice. Can't think of someone at the moment who would provide that. I'll think on it. I agree. I didn't like either song but Avril's had some potential. Therefore my vote goes to her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twozzok Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Gonna have to go with Lady GaGa for this one. It actually has a decent beat to it :/ Not that either of them were overly amazing songs :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roostophe Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 I don't know what, but there was something in both those songs that sat well with me. I'm not sure what it was. Anyway, my vote goes to Avril Lavigne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan-likes-trees Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Errrm... probably Avril for me. Lyrics were way to simple though. Though there were some parts of the song I liked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolness Bears Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Lady GaGa for me! One of Avril's weaker songs in my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tales Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Can I vote on my own? If so, Avril. I have listened to the GG song, it's ok, but the voice is just annoying at some parts in the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 I'm voting for Avril, even though she sounded out of tune to my inexpert ears, and the lyrics were fairly boring. The other one seemed like it could have potential, as others have said; in an electroypoppy way, but instead was just annoying and repetitive.

Razz Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Hmmm both songs really weren't doing it for me so my vote here really doesn't mean much but I'll go with Lady GaGa. Looking for it on youtube made me stumble across her song "Just Dance" and I really liked that. So I guess this competition is working because I consequently dowloaded it. Never even heard of her before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted November 30, 2008 Author Share Posted November 30, 2008 Yeah, It's almsot like...Poker Face is almost great fun, but it's too disconnected, like the chorus isn't from the same song the verses are. I love the beat to it, but wish it sat better, and the lyrics were better too. Avril: 12 Lady GaGa: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zell Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Really didn't like either, so I won't vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
