I see I'm not the only one who gets totally heart broken when hearing "Please Please Please...". It's so vulnerable and honest, I just listen to it and go: "yes, give him what he wants, he deserves it!"

Easiest one for me too, plus even easier cause I just had to quote what I voted for.

I don't get "totally heartbroken" whilst listening to this fantastic track, however, it really does touch a spot - terrific work.

I'm glad 'Jeane' is doing so well.
It makes you wonder: it's 2006 and it still hasn't surfaced on any Smiths cd.

Others I voted for were Stretch Out and Wait and Back To The Old House.

Pervomartovtsi - can't believe how wrong you went this round!

I kept seeing your name everywhere I voted, so I started keeping track:
For rounds 1, 2, 3, and 5: we matched on 2 songs
For round 4: we matched on 1 song
AND ALAS-
For round 6: we had 0 matches!

And here I was thinking this would be the round where we matched on all three (and what great taste you had).


Your votes were supposed to look like this:
Accept Yourself
Please, Please, Please
Stretch Out and Wait

Desperately wanted to vote for Girl Afraid and Please Please Please... but I'm sure they'll get many votes anyway.
