2021 AMF Tournament of Champions: Round 2, Part 3
2021 AMF Tournament of Champions: Round 2, Part 3
Hello! Welcome to Round 1 of the 2021 AMF Tournament of Champions! Here are the rules for this game overall, as a refresher:
Each of the 27 competitors submitted one album and ten songs. The ten songs each compete in one of ten rounds, each with a different type of competition. Meanwhile, the albums will be rated (out of ten) as time goes on. After each round, each competitor will receive points based on their performance in the round. At the end of all ten rounds, the points will be totaled from each round and the rating of the album, and a winner will be declared!
This week's rules:
The second round is going to make use of the poll creation feature. You will pick your favorite three of the nine songs in each round, and the top three from each will move onto a final round of nine. Points will be distributed based on poll performance. Here are your songs:
Creedence Clearwater Revival | Ramble Tamble
Gilbert O'Sullivan | Nothing Rhymed
Julee Cruise | Mysteries of Love
Lorde | Yellow Flicker Beat
Mariah | Hana ga Saitara
Naked City | Blunt Instrument
Stromae | Alors on danse
The Clash | The Card Cheat
Wolf Alice | You're a Germ
Playlist
I couldn't find the Naked City song on Spotify, here's the Youtube link:

However, to make the albums more digestible, I will be 'featuring' one album a week for those who wish to follow along this way. This week's album is:
Alicia Keys | The Diary of Alicia Keys (2003)
Alright, in conclusion:
Three favorite songs from the nine above, and vote using the poll feature! You have exactly seven days (February 27th) from the time of this post!
Additionally, rate albums from the list out of ten. You can do this at whatever pace you like, but post your ratings in the most recent thread! And you can always rate previously featured albums as well!

This is a fine week indeed; the only one I don't care about is Stromae. I'm glad someone else thinks Nothing Rhymed is great. Also, Blunt Instrument is well named.

I must have heard this more than a few times back in the day, because I know my little sister had this on CD, but I barely recalled anything about it outside of the hits. Turns out there is a reason for it as much of it is too much of the same and rather bland.

Vote for Mariah, Stromae and Wolf Alice. Certainly a better crop of tracks than last week. Blunt Instrument certainly was an acquired taste...

Alicia Keys - The Diary of Alicia Keys 6.2 You Don't Know My Name should've been a bigger hit on these shores and Dragon Days finally stood out after three listens.
My highlights: You Don't Know My Name, Dragon Days, Heartburn
My votes (in descending order of preference): Wolf Alice, The Clash, Naked City
