Nominator: Snake (3/15)

(5.5, 5, 7.1 [upgraded to 9.5])

[This is a really obscure pick. I cant find any information about the song... should give a few bonus points for that.]

Has anyone besides the two of us even heard of this song? There's only six views--if I've watched it four times for ranking purposes and you had to view it to get the link, then... one other person at best has seen this? </.<

Song's got a nice classic rock sound to it. Nothing super amazing, but it's got a complete story & it's catchy enough that I wouldn't change the station if it came on. It's not a story I can particularly relate to, but there's nothing wrong with it.

...honestly I like it more than I'm making it sound.

[Final Thoughts: I kinda like how direct the story is here. Not to say I didn't enjoy the complicated ones as well, but sometimes, you just want to relax. Easy story, easy to understand lyrics (can't find the lyrics transcribed anywhere, but don't need any), it's just rather soothing... which isn't likely what they were going for, but it works incredibly well for me.]

Nominator: Dragon (5/10)

(6, 6.5, [I forget what number I had here, but it was upgraded to 9.5 eventually])

[Provides an interesting contrast to last years LDR song, "Love".]

This is a heavier song; in terms of the weight to her voice, the lyric content, the video, pretty much everything.

I'm undecided if I prefer this over the other song or not... which is odd considering how terrible "Love" did last year (173rd/200) and this song is practically guaranteed to do better than that.

[Final Thoughts: From #191 to #41. This song was scheduled to be eliminated an eternity ago, but something about that voice of hers... the song just kept inching up the list. There was never any sudden declaration of "I've decided to give this song 9 points now!" or anything. Just a "well, this song is a bit better than this block of 10 songs, I'll eliminate it tomorrow instead", "and this block", "well, maybe after this block", "and this block", night after night... listening to this song and deciding not to cut it at the last possible second has been part of my nightly routine for weeks now.

Honestly, I'm kind of sad it's over. For a while, I was starting to wonder if this track was going to sneak its way into first place by default or something. But I think we're finally at a point where I can agree to eliminate it.

...also not really sure why I was suddenly into "Love" at the time I wrote some of this?]
