Round 3, Pairing 8: "Rose of May (FFIX)" vs. "The Man with the Machine Gun (FFVIII)"

[Dave]

Another day, another pairing. Not long to go now! Vote here (http://www.squareenixmusic.com/uematsu.php)!

[TheShroud13]

I'll take the man please. "Rose of May" is overly sappy for me.

[Don]

I'd rather carry a machine gun than a rose. Vote FFVIII!

[Totz]

Easiest vote this round. I'm going with Laguna.

[Nathan Black]

Kiros is my baby's mama.

Both overrated...

...and to allow this post to rise above mere spam status I'll say why. Both are cheesy, truth be told. I'm probably going to lean on the side of Man since it is admittedly more fun. But that's not to say I think it's a successful attempt at electronica. It hardly goes anywhere despite its basic appeal. Points for originality within NU's own spectrum I s'pose too.

[Black Mamba]

I'll vote for Rose of May, just because I like it and MwtMG has gotten 5 votes already!

I expect MwtMG to stroll through this round.

[Chris]

I'll take the man please. "Rose of May" is overly sappy for me.

Yes, yes, yes. I have never understood the appeal in "Rose of May", whereas Laguna rox my sox.

[Scherzo]

Now, why can't we put Rose of May with Vamo'alla Flamenco, and Man with the Machine Gun with The Extreme? Cursed random pairings . . .

Rose wins it for me in this round. It's the more emotional of the two themes, and I never really liked Mw/MG's wailing synth.

[Zhetty]

"Man with the Machine Gun". Very fun theme.

That, and "Rose of May" bores me, as pretty as it is.

[Resk]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo.... *weeps while watching Rose of May slowly fade into the distance* Good-bye dear track, you were good to me. I shall vote in memory of you :(

*edit* Looked at the scores, and Rose of May is winning! YAY! Beatrix isn't going down without a fight!

[McFate]

The battle theme I dislike the most is Laguna's. It really irritates me. Laguna irritates me too, for that matter. So go figure. :D

Rose of May, all the way! :) (Hehe, cheesy chant...)

[Black Mamba]

zomg! Rose of May is in the lead?! Wasn't expecting that....

[insertnamehere]

i vote for rose of may. Man with a machine gun is way to long and repetitive,.

[Dark Cloud]

Amazing words my friend. Vote = Rose of May.

It looks like FFVIII's reign of terror is falling.

[Dave]

And hence he reports:

Rose of May (FFIX) 61.36 % (27)
The Man with the Machine Gun (FFVIII) 38.64 % (17)

[Totz]

Oh, come on! What is this? No no no no no. :(

[insertnamehere]

Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Sir You Lose:D :D :D :p :) :o :thumbs: :lol: :lol:

[Brittany]

No way... I didn't want Laguna to go down so soon, or at all for that matter.. Man with the Machine Gun is one of my favorite themes :( I like Rose of May though so it could have been worse I guess...

[Neo Locke]

Wow... didn't see that one coming. Would've been happy had it gone either way, though.

[Kaibigan]

First, the extreme, now, man with machine gun.

Woah! Just, woah...
