he's not Cat Stevens anymore. His name is Yusuf Islam.


Oh yes! I completely forgot about that! It's never mentioned anymore, but... well... here! =P

I'll back up ilberic on the vote and vote for Jackson Browne as well! I never liked the style of Cat that much... Jackson on the other hand has a nice feel to his music, with the ease of a true artist putting his sole and being into the lyrics and music. He's nice to listen too at any given moment of the day! =)

So, with a shocking low amount of votes, the score shows :
__________________________________

2 - Jackson Browne
-VS-
0 - Cat Stevens

I also think this is probably the last score roundup for this battle as we are preparing to launch a new one soon! Just wait for waluigi's or my post with a new battle to start a-fresh! =D

P.s. you can keep brainstorming about battles ilberic! Even if you are the sole or one of the few providers of battles, we still appreciate it!

I'm not one to critique or anything, especially since I know what a pain this can be at times, but the non-battle of Georgia Satellites vs. Fleetwood Mac went for 27 days.. comparatively, this one is in its infancy (12 days).

Don't forget that I had one other suggested battle as well, probably the best one of my recent efforts too.

I let the Georgia Satellites- Fleetwood Mac battle last that long. Eeep...
I do plan on changing this battle, probably tonight. Two far more well know artists will be featured.

I know what you mean ilberic, but leaving a battle on the board for so long and getting little to no response to it might seem a little quick on the draw, but I think it's better to change it quicker, than having a thread that lacks activity due to having the same battle posted for almost 4 weeks... =0

And we won't forget the suggestion you made, don't worry!

Michael Jackson for me. I like Madonna, but I only like about an albums worth of songs by her. I can listen to just about anything Michael does. It's a shame that he messed up his life so badly. I guess when you aren't allowed to have a childhood, things can get extremely nutty.

Definitely Michael Jackson. Madonna may be pretty hot, but that's about all she's ever had going for her. Michael was a child prodigy who grew up to be one of the greatest singers and dancers of our time, and although he had an untimely death, his records will surely live on forever.

Oh god, this isn't even a fight. Michael Jackson all the way. He was much more of an icon than Madonna ever was, and he could dance incredibly.

Although I'm not generally a fan of dance-pop or the like, you can't dislike MJ. He's one of those artists where his biggest hits were actually his best ones, like Billie Jean or Thriller. And you can't hate Beat It either. After all, Eddie Van Halen is on guitar.

Literally every single one of Madonna's songs sound exactly the same to me. And there is nothing redeeming about her voice. If she looked like Susan Boyle, she would have gotten nowhere in the musical world.

Well, I am a HUGE disco fan, and if anyone kept the disco beat alive throughout the 80's, it was the great Michael Jackson!

No matter what country you go to these days, everyone knows who he is! And that makes sense, because he was a virtuoso and an insanely good dancer, and his music has made him the most well-known pop icon in history!

Queen of pop music


Now THAT surprises me! I never thought her songs were anything special, and I'm quite surprised anyone did at the time!

If she looked like Susan Boyle, she would have gotten nowhere in the musical world.


I imagine she was only famous because of MTV. If nobody had seen her, she would not have been quite so successful!

So anyway, I voted for Michael.

I can't say I would listen to either by choice, for I'm indifferent when it comes to pop music, but I can appreciate the music of Michael Jackson much more because it sounds like actual effort was put into his music.

Michael....do I really need to pipe it up for the King of Pop? Madonna still tries to eke out a sex kitten image when she's a middle age woman. Doesn't go down well....

On with the score roundup and... oh my... this battle is turning out to be the slaughtering of the 'Queen of POP' by the 'King of POP'! (o.O)

The dazzling score shows a HUGE advantage for the King :

Will Madonna strike back or is she at peace with her demise?!
