Looks like this is the final appearance in this tourney for Final Countdown (heh heh heh...) If I wasn't lazy I'd hit you with the Boo This Man gif. Allow me,

Lionel Richie without a doubt. Beautiful song and a creepy "Guide to Stalking a blind girl" video. Fixed. Same difference.. no? EDIT: Thank you Bob.

Touche. BTW, someone remind me to call up a girl, let a few seconds of silence pass, then start singing "Hello", just like Lionel did. That's bound to impress one or two women.

In no surprise to me, Lionel wins. That's the first sweep of this tourny so far. As an aside if this round continues to go be the quick, or quicker, I will temproarly bump up the needed votes to 4. Later rounds will be 5 at all times. ------------------ Oh lawd. Here we go. All I can say to people is... vote for the song, not the video. lol. Match #7: Michael Jackson - ThrillerReally, do you need an introduction? VS. Janet Jackson - Miss You MuchYou better hope blood is thicker then water Janet.

Janet is hotter (slightly), but MJ wins easily.

Thriller.
I don't like the song per say so much but I'm not willing to vote against it just for this Janet song.

Thriller, the heavy favorite of this tournament in my opinion easily sweeps Janet rather it was 3 or 4 votes. ------------------------ This one features a group I debated rather was Pop enough, or to much Rock for this tourney. I decided they are Pop and 80's enough so here they are. They are taking on a group getting their second chance to advance, after their first song just fell short. Match #8: The Cars - MagicNo description, and you might think I'm delerious, but it's true. Vs. New Order - Temptation"Temptation" is a single released by British group New Order on Factory Records in 1982. Released on 12" and 7" vinyl, both formats had the catalogue number FAC 63. The two formats are not merely different mixes, but entirely separate recordings of the same song. The 7" version is a more structured version with a commercial synthpop feel; the 12" is more chaotic with the emphasis on electronic rhythms rather than melody. The 7" version plays at 33.3rpm to accommodate its length of around five and a half minutes. Interestingly, the 12" version has a fade-in at its start, with a cold end, and the 7" version has a cold start and a fade-out at its end. As a result, a popular rumour among New Order fans that to experience the complete "Temptation", one has to paste together the 7" and 12" versions, to produce cold start and a cold end. In fact, etched inside the inner groove of the original 7" is, "Try listening to the 12!" The vocal track on the original 12" version (this is the version featured in the 'Retro' box-set) features an audible scream during the song's intro. Supposedly, as Bernard Sumner was recording the vocals, other band members ran into the studio and thrust a snowball down his shirt. "Temptation" is considered by many in the band to be their favorite New Order song.

Cars. One of the most underrated bands of the 80s.
