The Greatest Show On Earth, again. I don't like that any of these has to leave the survivor entirely, but I just can't imagine it being any of the other four. As an 18-minute song, maybe it's a different conversation. But as a 24-minute song, the other four should survive.

I fear for the day when something happens on the right that is SO nuts that even Stadler says "That's crazy".

I cannot believe that TGSoE is actually getting votes.

I can't believe that TGSoE is in danger of missing the Nightwish Final Survivor. Wouldn't feel right without it. That beast of a song is an absolutely incredible experience that transcends what a song can be.

Agreed. I get the complaints about the length, I actually agree with that for the most part, but damn the song is amazing.  Very sad.

I understand your perspective, even though I voted for it. It will be weird to not see it if that's the way it falls.

That said. I agonized over this vote (at least as much as anyone can over a song survivor vote), listened to the album again last night and everything, but I just can't vote any of these other four out ahead of it.

Long does not automatically mean good.

The song is 11 minutes of amazing/brilliant, 3 minutes of good, and 10 minutes of waste.  Ergo the song - AS A WHOLE - is far from amazing.  Frankly, I could've voted for it a couple of rounds ago.

I'd put it a very close sixth behind these four and the title track. Those six are bunched up pretty close, but I do think TGSOE is the weak one out there.
