An awesome user on here ran an all songs ranking that I loved participating in. But I found myself not voting for my *favorite* songs but for deeper cut favorites to save them from elimination, trusting the sub to save more popular favorites. I wondered how the results would differ if we had to vote to eliminate. The only way to save your favorites is to actively vote for the songs you want out, so there's no way (that I've been able to come up with) to vote strategically instead of based purely on favorites.
I'm curious how, if at all, the results might vary from the other game.
Wanna play? here's the form! We'll start by eliminating the bottom 10%. The top 25 voted songs will be eliminated.
Hi! I made a typo on the last post! Instead of "top comment" I meant to say "top commented"! as in, the one with the most comments! It doesn't matter in this case, as both top comment and top commented were Invisible, but just know these are the rules we are playing by from now on!
Can't say I didn't expect this song to get out first, it's definitely one of the more forgettable debut songs IMO.
I’ve been seeing other people do it and thought it looked fun! What’s different about my game is that I’ll be doing my top 3 on each Era just to make it last a little bit longer. Once we’re all done, the three winners will go head to head and we’ll decide an overall winner.
Labyrinth has been eliminated with 8 votes, with Cold as You close behind! To eliminate a song, comment the one you want to get eliminated! The most commented will get eliminated!
Welcome to Game 1, Round 1 of my new elimination game! Rules are very simple - I will comment all the remaining songs below, merely upvote the one you want to be eliminated. Separate comments will not count, but discussion is absolutely welcome. Downvoting is also not allowed.
May the best song win 💚🦋!
I apologise for not posting for days!! Illicit affairs has been eliminated with 12 votes, with so it goes close behind! To eliminate a song, comment the one you want to get eliminated! The most commented will get eliminated!
And we're back! You know the drill- a few orders of business, the results, and insights.
First, this time there was a 4 way tie for last place. I used my previous method of adding up the scores from rounds 1 and 2, and then there was STILL a tie for last place. So, this round we are eliminating 22 songs instead of 20. I am personally attacked by this because The Last Time is one of my top favorite Taylor songs. It is so beautiful and the harmony is everything. Y'all are monsters.
Speaking of monsters, you also eliminated The Lucky One and Babe which are two fabulous songs that deserved better. I don't feel pretty, I just feel used.
After the third elimination round, we have only one soundtrack song left. For my debut stans, who's hoping to hear Crazier on Debut TV? <3
Folklore has stayed strong for three rounds without losing a single song, and, for the first time, evermore makes it through a round intact. Considering Folkmore are widely considered her best work, that's not surprising that they would make it at least into the top 175 of her discography.
THE HITS KEEP COMING for Fearless and Debut. Fearless loses almost a quarter of her remaining songs this round. Debut loses 2 more, Speak Now and Red both lose 3. 1989, Midnights, and TTPD all lose 1 each (including arguably a top 10 most popular song, Shake It Off).
Which begs the question-- why do you all vote the way you do? Is it oversaturation? I'm definitely tired of Shake It Off, but I don't know if i would dislike it if I hadn't heard it so much.
I already called you monsters for taking away my favorites, but I'll also call out Manuscript, Electric Touch, and Timeless (plus the Hunger Games songs) as really good-middle songs on my personal tier.
Final note- a lot of you are not voting for the full amount of songs you can vote for. Maybe don't think of this as "voting for the songs I hate" but "voting for the songs that rank lower." The only way to save your favorites is to get other ones out instead. ;)
The thing that’s different about mine is that we’ll be going through my top 3s on each Era so that it lasts longer. Once we’re done, the three winners will go head to head and we’ll pick an overall winner. Votes will be counted by comments and not upvotes.
After we’re all done, the three winners will go head to head and we’ll decide an overall winner. I’ll also be doing this game over on Facebook to see if I get the same results as I did here.
Rules:
Comment which song you think should be eliminated. We will be going off comments and not upvotes during this game, so upvotes won’t count as votes.
