I MISSED THIS B/C I didn't see a notification?? Ahh tragic. Please still let me vote for RIOT! :( Ok Brighter is a great song but I am honestly surprised it won. Maybe it's just my nostalgia for AWKIF as a whole playing into that.
I will post the bracket after work. I forgot I didn't prepare them in advance and I don't have time to do it now. First round of Riot will be open until Monday morning since the weekends are slow here.
PARAMORE FACE OFF: RIOT! ----- Round 1 1) We Are Broken Vs. Rewind 2) Temporary Vs. Born For This 3) Miracle Vs. Fences 4) For a Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic Vs. When It Rains 5) Decoy Vs. Stop This Song (Lovesick Melody) 6) Misery Business Vs. Let the Flames Begin 7) That's What You Get Vs. crushcrushcrush Round 1 starts now!
We Are Broken (don’t really like either of these songs though) Born For This Miracle When It Rains (this matchup was tough) Decoy Let The Flames Begin That’s What You Get
We are Broken Born for This Fences (really tough one for me!) For a Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic Decoy Let the Flames Begin That's What You Get So far I've always picked the winning song but no way is that streak gonna last
We Are Broken Born For This Miracle For a Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic Decoy Let the Flames Begin That's What You Get
We Are Broken Born For This Miracle When It Rains (this sucked) Decoy Let the Flames Begin That's What You Get
Rewind Born For This (but now I'm remembering how good this band's b-sides are) Miracle For a Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic Stop This Song (Lovesick Melody) Let the Flames Begin That's What You Get
We Are Broken Born For This Miracle For a Pessimist Decoy Misery Business crushcrushcrush Last two match ups are BRU-TAL. Also, are we not going to talk about how Hallelujah is completely missing from this bracket???
We Are Broken Temporary Miracle For a Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic Decoy. Hadn’t heard STS before and really liked it but edge to decoy. Let the Flames Begin crushcrushcrush
We Are Broken Born For This Fences For a Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic (this sneaked up on me as one of my favorite choruses from them ever) Stop This Song (Lovesick Melody) Misery Business (it just has too many good memories in spite of the lyrical content, and just a blast of a song) crushcrushcrush (I'm APPALLED that this is a Round 1 match, for shame)
We Are Broken Born For This Miracle For A Pessimist (WHY would you do this to us?!??) Decoy Let The Flames Begin That’s What You Get
Rewind (one of my FAVE b-sides) Born For This (I still remember how it felt to hear this for the first time when I was 14 and get chills) Miracle (I’ve been planning a “chances taken, hope embraced” tattoo forever) For a Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic (weird but this helped me deal with a lot of family issues in my teens) Stop This Song (Lovesick Melody) Let the Flames Begin That's What You Get
Rewind Born For This Miracle For A Pessimist Decoy Misery Business (if this was live versions it would be Let The Flames but on record, MB is far, far better) That's What You Get
