The Bluemoon Song Cup 2023

“Bring me to Life” by Evanescence is very personal to me.
When people call it shit maybe they haven’t been through a tragic loss followed by depression and anxiety. The lyrics reflected a situation I was in.
Or they just do t like it anyway ?
I voted for it - it's not special to me, but I think it's a good pop song.

I can understand a lot of people voting for Donna Summer, but what if you don't like disco songs?
 
Only one of mine went through, the shittest one. What is probably my favourite of the 5 put forward hardly got a comment let alone a vote. Ah well, can now join the crowds that shit on everything.
I comedy ranted about a couple of mine going out, but at the end of the day, it's a popularity contest.

What is refreshing about this thread is that whilst there are some obvious songs that many might have guessed would be there, they are not all obvious picks, and there is scope for some of the more interesting selections to progress.

But it is just a bit of fun.
 
Hard to pick a winner.
Quite a few surprises.
No Elvis and I might have missed it but I thought the Kinks would have been in.

I managed to sneak a couple through...one by the skin of its teeth. The other three failed miserably, but I'm not hugely surprised and I probably wouldn't pick them if I was asked again - not based on them losing in this - purely on the fact that I don't have a set list of favourite songs really and they're changeable based on my mood. Having said that, the two that are through I'm sure I'd pick again!

Great work BH.

I try not to call any song as shit. The great thing about music is it’s subjectivity.
To call a song shit is lazy and ignorant really. Not liking a song because of xyz
is fair enough.

These comments do not apply to Morrissey who is shit personified:-)
