Fan Forum Music Battle

The Management Team have declared war between the music boards to find out which songs stand out the most and the Taylor Swift board is participating! For the next month you can discuss which songs you would like to submit for each of the categories.

When picking songs for the categories please keep in mind the following:
• The song you submit must be their own, and not be made famous by someone or something else. The only exceptions to this rule is the Cover Song and Song Written categories.
• All music videos must be official videos, not fan videos.
• You can enter as many of the categories as you like but it is only one song per category. A song can be entered into as many categories as you wish. Music boards for bands/groups (E.G. 1D) can submit up to three songs per category providing they are each from different members of the group (E.G. a song by 1D, a song by Harry, a song by Niall). If the band member/former band member (E.G. Camila Cabello) has their own board their solo work cannot be submitted on the band board and should only be submitted on their own board. Any duplicated submissions (E.G. two songs by Harry) will result in both being left off from the poll.

At the end of the month I will set up polls so that everyone can vote for their favourite song in each category.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask Chelle.



The Categories:
Songs
• Best Acoustic Version/Performance
• Best Break-up Song
• Best Collaboration
• Best Cover Song
• Most Empowering Song
• Best Live Performance
• Best Love Song
• Best Uptempo Song
• Songs From Stage and Screen
• Wild Card (any song you would like to submit which does not fit anywhere else but should be included)

• Best Chorus
• Best Line From a Song
• Best Song Written (by any member of the band, can be sung by anyone)
Music Videos

• Best Use of Black and White in a Music Video

Once you have decided which song you would like to submit please provide a link to the song so that everyone can listen to it during the voting process. For song writing please include a link to the full lyrics for the Best Song Written category, and include the line or chorus in quotes for the Best Chorus and Best Line From a Song categories. I would appreciate it if you use the following format:

[Summer Falls]

oh wow that is fun .. ive never done this before so we each choose which ones we like?

[paper rings]

does anyone have any ideas on what songs should be added?

[dracarys]

^ Which specific category?

[paper rings]

don’t we try and fill all the spots? or just choose one?

[dracarys]

Yes but which one should we focus on and how many choices do we agree on?

[paper rings]

maybe we can do the break up song.

[dracarys]

That's a good one
My five are:

1. Tim McGraw
2. We are never ever getting back together
3. Babe
4. Better than revenge
5. You're not sorry

[paper rings]

those are good. can we add better man for songwriting.

[dracarys]

Yep

[shinebrighterxx]

I think #2 or #4 would be good for break up personally. Babe is a good song but Taylor doesn't feature much in the recording of it so unless we've got just her singing the song I think its a shame. It could work for collaboration or a song writing one though? But I feel like Taylor's done a lot better collaborations & probably has better song writing choices too

I don't know any of her newer music videos but Bad Blood jumps out at me for best concept video?

[paper rings]

there's a live version of taylor singing babe, does that count?

[shinebrighterxx]

She has sung it alone live? That can be used & would represent the category better since its more her singing. Such a shame she is more minor in the duet/recorded version

[dracarys]

^ Yes at one of her concerts, I think it might have been too personal for her to sing solely so I was surprised she featured it at one of her concerts.

Reminder: You have until 10PM GMT on Friday August 31st to finalise your decisions. Moderators please ensure that your final choices are added into the OP by that time for them to be included.

If you have already finished making your selections then please ignore my reminders.
