Holy f*ck. This is brutal. It's my fault. IT'S ALL MY FAULT. I should have voted for Temptation. I like Temptation, but it's probably the song with the least tension in it on the album. Or is that Clowntime? I'm not trying to influence anything.

Extremely tough choice, but if pressed I'd pick Black & White World.

Don't pick Black and White World. It's an insanely good song. Listen to that arrangement. It's incredible.

And again, full on fun punnery, (I know he was criticised for this eventually, but it is fun in a less serious song like this)

Since it's a lot about pictures and photography somehow (paparrazi, maybe?)

"It's a freeze frame, STILL it's real-life..."

"...Tryin' to name some pin up
Those days she was just a beautiful girl, now she's framed and hung up."

I think it's about someone caught in a paparazzi sting.

That's what I went for in the end for day two. Course your opinion matters - share it! It's going to get even tougher. I wonder if my favourite track will make the top 3? I'm keeping shtum!

I understand what you say, guys, but 90% of Get Happy!! songs are insanely good (the other 10% being just VERY good).
For me it was a choice between B&W World, Beaten to The Punch, Human Touch, and Love For Tender.
Black & White World is a very good song, but I'm pretty sure it will go out in the first 4-5 rounds.

Three out of four of these are amongst my favourites - as is 5ive Gears in Reverse. A travesty that it's first out!!!!!
Can't you see I'm trying to change this water to wine
