Song Battles - Queen, First Artist (Game Over see post #38)

I'm going to divide this game into artists and rounds.
First artist Queen. Why? Because I love Queen. After we get to the finals, another artist will be chosen by one of you guys.

Choose one song as the best for each battle: Each round will be 24 hours (or so - I'm at work). The song with the most votes in each battle will battle another song with the most votes until we have a winner.

a. We Are The Champions - We Will Rock You
b. Bohemian Rhapsody

a. A Crazy Little Thing Called Love
b. Another One Bites The Dust

a. Somebody To Love
b. Fat Bottomed Girls.

a. Under Pressure
b. Tie Your Mother Down

Well, only the first one is tough, and that one isn't even that tough...

b. Bohemian Rhapsody

b. Another One Bites The Dust

b. Fat Bottomed Girls.

a. Under Pressure

Joe

b. Bohemian Rhapsody
a. A Crazy Little Thing Called Love
a. Somebody To Love
a. Under Pressure


#1 and #4 are easy. #2 is a bit harder. Another One Bites the Dust is more original, but Crazy Little Thing is a great little song and definitely shows Queen's style.
#3 was really tough for me. In the end I went with what I'd rather [del:3b25vxxv]have[/del:3b25vxxv] listen to over and over.

My picks:

b. Bohemian Rhapsody

b. Another One Bites The Dust

a. Somebody To Love

a. Under Pressure

b. Bohemian Rhapsody (Not fair, these are my top 2)

a. A Crazy Little Thing Called Love

a. Somebody To Love

a. Under Pressure

b. Bohemian Rhapsody

b. Anoither One Bites the Dust

b. Fat Bottomed Girls (the lack of love so far for this song saddens me)

a. Under Pressure

a. We Are The Champions - We Will Rock You
[del:2bbge9g1]b. Bohemian Rhapsody[/del:2bbge9g1]
(not a big fan of either one)

[del:2bbge9g1]a. A Crazy Little Thing Called Love[/del:2bbge9g1]
b. Another One Bites The Dust

[del:2bbge9g1]a. Somebody To Love[/del:2bbge9g1]
b. Fat Bottomed Girls.

[del:2bbge9g1]a. Under Pressure[/del:2bbge9g1]
b. Tie Your Mother Down
(I'd pick Under Pressure over either of the first two)

Oliveloaf, we've whittled it down to four already. :)

For the second one, it's pretty close, but it's not like either of these have a chance against the other songs.

Somebody to Love

round two:

b. Bohemian Rhapsody

a. Another One Bites The Dust

Joe

a. Under Pressure

a. Another One Bites the Dust

Round Two ends at 4:07 EST today.

So far: 5 Bohemian Rhapsody, 2 Under Pressure
and: 4 Somebody to Love, 3 Another One Bites The Dust


We need someone to choose the next artist's songs for the next bout.

Never mind.

I'm happy to pick the next artist. Do we want to wait until battle Queen is completely over, or just in the finals?

How about waiting.

BTW, as each round progresses just PM to change the thread title as I did here or report it if I am not around.

Bohemian Rhapsody
Another One Bites the Dust

(I think this one was decided with Round One, Choice One)

b. Bohemian Rhapsody

a. Another One Bites The Dust

There were so few votes that I'll count the last two posters' votes.

Next round:
Bohemian Rhapsody
vs.
Another One Bites the Dust

Not even close: Bohemian Rhapsody

[del:2a4xz5jg]Another One Bites the Dust[/del:2a4xz5jg]

OneCentStamp we need an artist whos winning song can hang out against the winning song in this round. You can choose an artist only, or you can choose the songs and their battle order.

I'll probably be the odd one out this round:
Another One Bites the Dust

Here's the second bracket: The Rolling Stones.

Oh, and I vote Bohemian Rhapsody. As Wayne Campbell said, "excellent choice." :lol:

Bohemian Rhapsody

Joe

Another one for Another One Bites the Dust

You contrarians are silly.

Bohemian Rhapsody

Bohemian Rhapsody has won the Queen song battle!

It will be the song to go up against the winners of the other song battles.

The Rolling Stones battle is on.

We'll need someone to choose the third artist and songs for battle number three to begin next week.

Oughta ask the mods to change the thread title to include "CLOSED," otherwise votes may keep tricklin' in. :)

Thanks mod! Was it WhatExit?
