Points to ponder:

• Note that we lined up pretty closely with VH1, Billboard, and the critic’s choice aggregations at Acclaimed Music….
• … Somewhat less so with “the other site” and the Billboard rankings.
• … And completely off from the Village Voice. 
• Also note that one of our finalists — and three of our Final Four — appear on multiple lists.

But one of our finalists? They’re not in anybody’s Top Five!

Does this make Lada Gaga the underdog? The Cinderella headed to the TNOCS ball?

Maybe so… but will that make a difference when Final votes are tallied? We shall see…

I promised I would reveal the song I thought would win when it’s eliminated.

While I’d be proud to say 🤐 at this point… I can’t.

I have to reveal the song I thought would win (not necessarily my favorite though it IS incredible)… was “Crazy in Love” 

Anyway, this is your chance to make music history. If 50 million Elvis fans can’t be wrong, then certainly 100+ TNOCS-ers are the truth incarnate. 

Will you vote for Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance”?

Or will it be Outkast’s “Hey Ya!”?

If you’re reading this: voting is open NOW! It ends this Friday at 9:00 PM GMT. A handy little clock is provided below.

Be sure to stop by and comment on Friday night! We’re withholding the vote tallies until then… because someone has a flair for the dramatic.

Thanks for stopping by and voting!!!i

As always, vote with your heart, not with some sense of strategy. The song that moves you, not the song you think others would approve of. The wisdom of the commentariat will prevail.

May the best song win and live in eternal glory!

Thanks for stopping by!
