Not a great batch. A few clearly stronger songs against weaker ones (except the Young Americans/Don't Stop Til You Get Enough match-up, which was very close). Neither of the last two songs impressed me all that much, but at least Private Caller has some level of effort put into it.

Rocky Raccoon, you already voted for Seal so I suppose this is your wish but not your vote. So we still have a tie, isn't it?

Wouldn't your vote go to Private Caller if you ranked Disco Duck lower?

Yes, I bolded the wrong song, it should have been "Private Caller", which has already won anyway.

ordinaryperson, I hope you don't mind that I bump this thread as a reminder...

Ok so just in case Rocky Racoon hasn't already rightfully broken the tie, I'll vote for Gil Scott-Heron. Ordinaryperson's decision now
