I don't remember it either, but then again I've only skimmed the brackets for the last march madness today so
(also this could just be me but I like it better when people actually listen to a bit of the song before voting tbh ;) )

Yeah, I just checked. And I didn't even vote for Uma Thurman. LOL. Now I love it.
Looks like Next to Me by Otto Knows was the only song left I could use from my list, so that will be my replacement.

I like that too, lyhom - especially since last time I picked songs I was certain nobody had heard before, and it bugged the f**k outta me to have votes cast against me right as soon as the sets were started. It's like, 'you didn't even BOTHER giving mine a chance?!'
I listen to them all first, unless I already know the songs.

I try to put them in soundcloud and listen to them on my commute, which is why I was so late this last round.
Except those Taylor Swift songs. I gave up because Taytay has her shit locked down.

As much as we rock posters rag on 2 Heads being on the Alternative charts (I still feel that it's a dance song), we like the song.

It's like, 'you didn't even BOTHER giving mine a chance?!' I listen to them all first, unless I already know the songs. tbh finding new songs is one of the best parts of this for me, mostly because I either wouldn't have heard of them otherwise or just put it off for whatever reason (seriously though, there was at least one pick last year that made me fall in love with a whole artist, so I do at least recommend checking everything out, because you never know what you'll think of it until you listen to it) edit: "O wow and against my #8 too, if that happens lyhom I am sooo sorry! " don't worry, it's a game and had it been someone else's pick I likely wouldn't had a harder time choosing

I listen to the songs before voting for them too. That said, I make a playlist on Spotify with all the tracks in mention unless they aren't on there, like last round when Mikey's choice (re: "Lost [Runaway]") wasn't there because it's not released yet. So, I 'replaced' his choice with another track from SAINT WKND called "Positive Vibe", but I didn't take into consideration that track because when the playlist ended, I listened to "Lost (Runaway)" on Soundcloud.

Beck - Dreams (Albie)I re-listened to 'Dreams' even though I just checked it out in the exhibition round. I think this is a good match-up because the two songs have a similar style, but 'Dreams' stands out over 'A Taste Of Silver' to me. Grace - You Don't Own Me (ft. G-Eazy) (Fancy)Even though this had been #1 in Australia I've never heard her version before. I actually think the production on it is pretty cool, particularly in the verses. A nice modern twist on the song. Side note, the hell is that video for 'Live Forever'? The beginning of it made me think the song/video was gonna be something completely different... Major Lazer - Lost (ft. MO) (Narwhals)I was new to both songs here, and I was just a little bit more into 'Lost' so that one gets my vote for this match-up. Martin Garrix vs. Matisse & Sadko - Dragon (Narwhals)To be honest I was a little disappointed waiting for vocals to come in on 'Dragon' that never came (unless I'm mistaken wasn't there a singer with the stage name Matisse?) but I wasn't all that into the vocal on 'Goodbye' so vox-less I go~ Oliver Heldens & Shaun Frank - Shades Of Grey (ft. Delaney Jane) (Mikey)Is it bad that I wasn't particularly taken with either of these songs? Oliver's song, to me, sounds a little too similar to his last few works and the sound is getting a tad reductive. Hurts' song, meanwhile, has production similar to other songs I've enjoyed ('Love Is A Drug' by Markus Feehily comes to mind, which I even picked for March Madness). I went with Oliver, I think that's where the crowd is headed so I may as well follow. Jana Kramer - I Got The Boy (indulgecountry)LOL for once I went with the country song. IDK, after only one listen I can't quite put my finger on what I wasn't as into about 'Sun Is Shining'. I'm not sure cheesy is the right descriptor, or maybe it's a little too happy for my taste. twenty one pilots - Stressed Out (H.)Never heard any of twenty one pilots' songs before, but I do of course know 'This Summer's Gonna Hurt'. All I have to say is, this song's going down like a motherf**ker~ For the record though, I'm not just arbitrarily voting against M5, I think 'Stressed Out' is the better and more interesting song. Major Lazer - Light It Up (ft. Nyla) (Fancy)Is that a banjo in '2 Heads'? LMAO! Anyway, I wound up preferring 'Light It Up' out of the two. I can't decide if I like it or not based off the first listen, I'm not big on the Jamaican (?) accent in the verses but it's a lot less pronounced in the chorus if it's still there at all.

A Taste of Silver - Until the Ribbon Breaks - (cm7com-1) vs. Dreams - Beck - (Albie-8) Live Forever - The Band Perry (indulge-2) vs. You Don't Own Me - Grace ft G-Easy (Fancy-4) Lost - Major Lazer ft. Mo (Narwhals-4) vs. This is Who We Are (Club MIx) - Dash Berlin (Mikey-2) Dragon - Martin Garriz, Matisse, and Sadko (Narwhals-6) vs. Goodbye - Feder ft. Lyse (Juan-6) Shades of Grey - Olive Heldens & Shaun Frank ft. Delaney Jane (Mikey-1) vs. Some Kind of Heaven - Hurts (Juan-7) I Got the Boy - Jana Kramer (indulge-3) vs. Sun is Shining - Axwell /\ INgrosso (Juan-5) This Summer's Gonna Hurt - Maroon 5 (DJDave-1) vs. Stressed Out - 21 Pilots (H-7)
Light It Up - Major Lazer ft. Nyla (Fancy-3) vs. 2 Heads - Coleman Hell (lyhom-7){Thoughts} 1. Taste of Silver is not bad at all, but Dreams is tough competition. 2. Not crazy about what they did to that Lesley Gore song, so I'm sticking with Live Forever 3. I don't think I'm a huge fan of either - Lost is decent, but it's no Lean On. And This is Who We Are was ok for awhile and then just seemed so repetitive, I got annoyed. 4. Goodbye is really unusual. This was a hard choice because I live Dragon a lot as well and am currently charting it, but Goodbye was pretty captivating. 5. It would be hard to find a song in this set I like more than Shades. 6. My toughest call. I really like Axwell/INgrosso, and have toyed with charting SUn is Shining, but the lyrics of I Got the Boy were poignant and sad and unexpected given the title. 7. I like a lot of Maroon 5, but Summer wore on me really super quickly. And I don't need to hear MF over and over. 8. WOW, this was kind of an upset for me. I was sure I'd go for Major Lazer in this match-up, but I ended up really liking 2 Heads. Major Lazer's style is instantly recognizable, but 2 Heads has kind of cool genre fusion going on there.
