Madonna Survivor: The 80s (Round 6)

[POP!]

We will only be having 1-2 more rounds before we narrow it down to the batch that will continue to the final (along with the other decades).

"Dress You Up" performs rather well to make it to the top ten (the only non-TIC single to make top 10). "Lucky Star" and "Express Yourself" make an exit around the right time IMO.

Open Your Heart and Borderline (both 10/10s, mind you)

 

[Diddy]

Woof, that’s a hard call

 

[straightorbroken]

I absolutely adore Borderline - it has a dreamy wistful bliss to it that will forever remind me of the complete joy I felt finally getting The Immaculate Collection (it was quite a Christmas, I also got Dusty, Medusa Lennox and Prince to go with my new CD player and the sound quality was the best I'd ever had (more brackets to say that I actually really miss listening to music this way)).

 

[POP!]

you bastards are NOT voting out "Live to Tell"!

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

Life is a mystery? I think not! I’m voting that overplayed boring shit out!

Well, not boring, but it’s time for others to win.

 

[straightorbroken]

Good luck hun

 

[The Unholy Ghost]

you bastards are NOT voting out "Live to Tell"!

The SICK AND DIRTY PIGS!

 

[The Unholy Ghost]

HEARTLESS MONSTERS!

 

[jyxz]

you bastards are NOT voting out "Live to Tell"!

Been voting for that dirge since round 1

 

[The Unholy Ghost]

I can’t remember which Stock Aitken Waterman song used Into The Groove as a “guide track” (i.e. something to shamelessly copy ) but it was probably better than Into The Groove itself

GET RID OF INTO THE GROOVE

 

[Jark]

if fucking Open Your Heart survives another while Live to Tell crashes out...

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

Save Live to Tell, vote Like a Prayer!

 

[jyxz]

if fucking Open Your Heart survives another while Live to Tell crashes out...

Im generally ambivalent about OYH, but the 12" dub SMACKS.

 

[jyxz]

if fucking Open Your Heart survives another while Live to Tell crashes out...

and 'Live to tell' is DOG SHIT anyway

I have it on good authority it is Sinitta 'Feels like the first time', which isn't SAW but SAW adjacent.

 

[BoysForSeles]

Whilst Borderline and Open Your Heart are both fab everything else is a signature song (well maybe not quite Live To Tell but almost).

 

[Funky]

Could only pick one. Impossiblé.

 

[Iguana]

TIGHT UP TOP!

 

[Vicky the Vole]

Into the groove isn't as good as some of the ones with high votes!

 

[Christian]

CLOSE THE VOTING

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

vote Like a Prayer!

Impressed by my power of persuasion

 

[Saltwater]

Am deeply saddened by the votes of certain people the taste of whom I highly valued before this Survivor

 

[straightorbroken]

Live to Tell put Jesus on the electric chair, Like a Prayer totally went after Pope Gloria Estefan, Into the Groove solved the 80s BO problem, Open Your Heart saw off Cyndi Lauper, Ofra Haza and doctors who had trouble getting started, and La Isla Bonita planted the seed for Gina G to invent Spain with Ti Amo.

 

[dmlaw]

Into The Groove and La Isla Bonita are the 9.8s in that group of 10s for me.

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

Look at those straights coming in here pissing on our national anthems!

These votes are DISGUSTING
