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 One Direction 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

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.

Song Writing
Best Chorus:
1D - What A Feeling

What a feeling to be right here beside you now Holding you in my arms When the air ran out and we both started running wild The sky fell down But you've got stars, they're in your eyes And I've got something missing tonight What a feeling to be a king beside you, somehow I wish I could be there now

HS - Sign Of The Times

Just stop your crying It's a sign of the times We gotta get away from here We gotta get away from here Just stop your crying It'll be alright They told me that the end is near We gotta get away from here

LT - Just Like You

I'm just like you Even though my problems look nothing like yours do Yeah, I get sad, too And when I'm down I need somebody to talk to Yeah, I feel the same as you would do Same stress, same **** to go through I'm just like you If you only knew

Best Line From a Song:

HS - Two Ghosts

We're just two ghosts standing in the place of you and me, trying to remember how it feels to have a heartbeat

1D - End Of The Day

All I know at the end of the day is love who you love, there ain't no other way

NH - You And Me

I've got a young heart and it's wild and free, and I don't know where it starts, but it ends with you and me

Moderators please add in the final song choices here by August 31st.

[madness]

I love how we're an example. I

I'm ready to battle.

[shinebrighterxx]

It seemed the logical choice for the example

[madness]

Best Collaboration options:
Just Hold On ft. Steve Oaki
Back to You ft. Bebe Rexha

Seeing Blind ft. Maren Morris

Familiar ft. idk
Strip That Down ft. Quavo
Get Low ft. Zedd


So unless Harold has a collab I'm not remembering, we can submit one for each, yeah?

[wolkenfuehlen]

Aw man, don't make me choose between the Liam collabs, I love them all He also did the 50 Shades song with Rita Ora as well

[madness]

Is the song good? I actively avoid all things FSOG so I've never heard it.

[sweet creature]

So excited for this. Thanks, Chelle.

It's amazing, the only good thing about those movies are honestly the soundtracks : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQUuqbzQVsY

I think my favorite Liam one might actually be this one with Rita (or Get Low with Zedd) and my favorite Louis is Back to You.

[madness]

I think my favourite Louis would be Back To You as well. Also because it feels like more of a collab since it has other vocals (Sorry, Steve, love you).

As for Liam, as long as it's not familiar, I'm good.

[sweet creature]

I wasn't even thinking about that, but yea, true. :')

Aww I like Familiar. But it's probably my least favorite of them all too.

[wolkenfuehlen]

If the choice is between Rita and Zedd for Liam, I'm leaning towards Zedd

[where we belong]

I think I like the one with Rita more. But I'll go give both a listen one more time

I am totally okay with Back to You.

[where we belong]

I think I like the one with Rita more. But I'll go give both a listen one more time

I am totally okay with Back to You.

[madness]

Should we put a temporary list in the OP before searching for the videos then?

Best Love Song
I'm thinking sweet creature for sure, and then perhaps a 1D and Niall one? (I'd put Miss You - LT but for this battle perhaps it fits better in the break up one, as people might recognize it more as that kind of song? )

[sweet creature]

That sounds good. Or we could keep posting the list with the updated choices but having it on spoiler tags or something so it's not a distraction.

I have mixed feelings about Miss You, but I think I see it more as a break up song, yea. Or a love song about people who broke up but will get back together soon. Agreed with Sweet Creature (love Two Ghosts too but I think it's sadder).

Which song from Niall, You and Me? Mirrors? (Flicker will be a good one for Break-Up too ).

[madness]

I love the story and overall song more for Mirrors so I'd go with that one, personally.
