I feel somewhat tempted to change my vote...the reason why I voted for Mooie Ellebogen in the first place was because I knew it would be a close round, and I didn't want to be the deciding voter, so I decided to do something humorous. But it seems that it may never end now....

There is one way i can break the tie without changing my vote: I could count up how many votes throughout the entire game the two songs have accumulated. Whichever has the most cumulative votes would be eliminated. But then Politik would clearly win....

But what's the fun in ties? Everyone's just gonna vote the same way next round.... :P

You guys need to change your votes!! I can't believe that this entire forum is voting for Politik and A Rush of Blood to the Head over Mooie Ellebogen. :cry:

Ha ha, calling it a tie only prolongs the process!! ;) In theory, I could change my vote and decide the winner, but I sincerely think that a song like Mooie Ellebogen did not deserve to make it this far. :confused:

We need only look at POC and ASFOS to realize that it is not the case!! :P

Ha ha, I think he said he didn't want to play the game because he thought it was too hard to choose?

It is indeed! I was gonna end the round now but it looks like I'll have to leave it open for a bit longer!

Did I read that right????? :o

I've always found the live 2003 version to be quite dull compared to the stellar album version for whatever reason. And that is a vote for Politik, right? :P

Ending the 2nd to last round a bit early today....

The grand finale: Politik [video=youtube;FHzvjIvJbfE] Vs A Rush of Blood to the Head [video=youtube;fC26XpXjSVw] And now for the most intense round of the game!! It's a showdown between Politik and A Rush of Blood to the Head!! I vote for Mooie Ellebogen.

Do you mean: Parachutes: Spies (bit of a stretch imo) AROBTTH: Daylight X&Y: Twisted Logic VLVODAAHF: Cemetaries of London, 42, Yes MX: Major Minus GS: All Your Friends (not really on GS, but none of those on the album really fit the description)

End of the 3rd to last round! [table=width: 500] [tr] [td]God Put a Smile upon Your Face[/td] [td]13[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Clocks[/td] [td]3[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]A Rush of Blood to the Head[/td] [td]3[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Politik[/td] [td]1[/td] [/tr] [/table] Where does God Put a Smile upon Your Face go to fall from grace? Your guess is as good as mine.... The top three!! Politik Clocks A Rush of Blood to the Head GPASUYF claims the award for the most votes in a round as the two most intense rounds are upon us!! And I cast my vote for Clocks....

I vote for MX, though I must admit that I did enjoy the album, despite its weaker songs, pop influences, and overproduction. Such a shame that something with Eno's name on it could have such messy and cluttered mixes. :(

Ha! This put a smile on my face! :)

What an intense round! [table=width: 500] [tr] [td]Amsterdam[/td] [td]7[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]A Rush of Blood to the Head[/td] [td]5[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]God Put a Smile upon Your Face[/td] [td]4[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Clocks[/td] [td]1[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Politik[/td] [td]1[/td] [/tr] [/table] Unfortunately, Amsterdam is eliminated. You can say what you mean, but it won't change a thing. :( The final four: Politik God Put a Smile upon Your Face Clocks A Rush of Blood to the Head The war rages on!! And how come I'm the only one voting for Clocks?

Thanks for the offer, but I'd like to see both make it to the next round. ;) Btw, to all of you who want to save a specific song, it's times like these when you've gotta use tactical voting instead of voting for your least favorite, cause now, every vote really counts! Just a word of advice. ;)

Whoops, sorry about that! I've fixed the pronoun in my post. :) And thanks for saving Amsterdam! It deserves to win the elimination imo.

Isn't that really strange! Last round the song that is second most voted on the sitewide poll was eliminated!! Is this game really a random sampling? :huh:

And now this round has come to an end!

Oh, it's such a shame for us to part. :( The fearsome five: Politik God Put a Smile upon Your Face Clocks A Rush of Blood to the Head Amsterdam Wow, it looks like Amsterdam stood on the edge, tied to a noose, but @alisbe came along, and she cut it loose! I once again vote for Clocks!

Btw where can I find the alternative ASFOS video?

I hardly ever watch music videos these days, but when I did I watched every Coldplay video that had been released at that point (which was everything before GS). Still haven't bothered to watch all of the GS ones. But they had some really good and enjoyable videos during their career. Best: The Scientist GPASUYF Violet Hill (Dancing politicians) Yellow Talk Worst: True Love ASFOS Princess of China (seriously, did they even know the difference between Indian and Chinese Mythology? Jesus Christ) Charlie Brown (though there are cool visuals) The Hardest Part (it's a nice idea for a music video, but it doesn't exactly suit the song) Btw here's an alternative Paradise video directed by Shynola. I think that Hype Williams was initially going to direct the Paradise video but for whatever reason the band wasn't satisfied with it. [video=youtube;0bdr9BxLlG0]

Fortunately, it's not!! It's still here, In My Place was eliminated last round. :) And thank fuck for that!!

ROUND OVER [table=width: 500] [tr] [td]In My Place[/td] [td]8[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Amsterdam[/td] [td]6[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]God Put a Smile upon Your Face[/td] [td]3[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]The Scientist[/td] [td]1[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]A Rush of Blood to the Head[/td] [td]1[/td] [/tr] [/table] In my place, in my place, were lines that I couldn't change, In My Place is lost, oh yeah. The surviving six: Politik God Put a Smile upon Your Face The Scientist Clocks A Rush of Blood to the Head Amsterdam The honor is entirely mine to be the first one to cast a vote for Clocks. :D

You can't vote twice!! :P
