[Eulaliya]

Ah well, these two lovely ladies have had their luck run out... and now back to the drawing board as usual. Internal selection battles are currently underway between an 80s rock piece not by Queen and a haunting folk piece from a long-deceased singer-songwriter, among others.

 

[Eulaliya]

It's official: we're going back to 70s folk, and it's from a singer-songwriter who died quite young

"Fhir a Bhata"

has voted! I'm a huge Queen fan, I even got to see "We Will Rock You" in Toronto back in 2007 - that was a fun show.

 

[Eulaliya]

Thank you to and for your votes

 

[esc87fan]

By the way Eulaliya, did you see the Bohemian Rhapsody movie yet? It's outstanding

I have seen it pre-pandemic time, and the Live Aid scene is one of my fave scenes

[ShoeFlo]

The current WV winner just voted in your NF, please feel honoured

I was very excited when I discovered this NF. Queen is by far my favorite iconic band ever and it was a pleasure to vote here and at the same time quite easy because I've got strong opinions about all songs (mostly positive, of course)

Whatever wins it will be a huge blessing for this WV edition and I think you will have quite a good shot for a Top Result.

Best of luck!

Queen
"Bohemian Rhapsody"



Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality

Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go
Little high, little low
Any way the wind blows
Doesn't really matter to me, to me

Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away

Mama, ooh
Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters

Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the time
Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth

Mama, ooh (Any way the wind blows)
I don't want to die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all

I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?
Thunderbolt and lightning very, very frightening me
(Galileo) Galileo
(Galileo) Galileo
Galileo Figaro
Magnifico-o-o-o-o

I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity

Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?
Bismillah! No, we will not let you go (Let him go!)
Bismillah! We will not let you go (Let him go!)
Bismillah! We will not let you go (Let me go!)
Will not let you go (Let me go!)
Never let you go (Never, never, never, never let me go)
Oh oh oh oh
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh, mama mia, mama mia (Mama mia, let me go)
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye?
So you think you can love me and leave me to die?
Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here

Ooooh, ooh yeah, ooh yeah

Nothing really matters
Anyone can see
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters to me

Any way the wind blows...

Live Aid performance vs. movie reenactment (0:49-2:58)​

 

[theditz83]

What were the full results in your NF @Eulaliya ? I'm not surprised Bo Rhap won tbh, but I was hoping one of the other songs had a chance tbh.

[theditz83]

Lol, check me out trying to sink its chances.

Best of luck anyway - at least my top 2 were the 2nd and 3rd

 

[Ana Raquel]

there is just a small switch at my votes (but nothing that changes the winner dw!!!!): scores for under pressure and no one were switched. under was 8 and no one 3.

i could not give 12 to any other song other than bohemian rhapsody, especially since I have a super queen fan as dad and am used to listening to bohemian at least once a week
