Cruel pairings! some songs I don't care for, with some wins only because the other song was even inferior, and some great songs having to face each other. Fireworks in the last matches of this round!

Lol, I;'m the only person who voted The Enemy Inside over TCOT.

[pg1067]

Lol, I;'m the only person who voted The Enemy Inside over TCOT.

Makes more sense than voting for a TA song over SDOIT.

That wasn't me.

I'm actually surprised that I'm the only vote for TEI.

Two people voted for “The Answer” over “A Change of Seasons.”  Two people voted for “Chosen” over “Learning to Live.”  Two people voted for “Losing Faythe” and one person voted for “Savior in the Square” over “Metropolis.”  Seven people voted for “Speak to Me” over “Beyond This Life.”  Nothing surprises me anymore.

Those are clearly "protest" votes. Or better: some people don't like at all those songs, and are probably annoyed and mistified how the rest of the fanbase adores them, that they literally vote for anything else that isn't that song to make a point that they don't like it.

I mean, I love The Answer and all, I find it a cute little gem and I wish DT would do again another short song like that for the hell of it, but to think that there's nothing in the 23 minutes of A Change of Seasons that could be more enjoyable than such a short song...

(This is not a critique against those voters, yes, it's perfectly fine to not like anything about A Change of Seasons. I just find it weird that even The Answer could stand a chance against that song)

[Mladen]

I'm also the only one that voted for The Road to revolution instead of SDOIT. No protest here, just general preference, even though SDOIT is a classic.
