Songs Survival - Game

[Eder Borba 56]

I want to propose a little game (actually it's quite long haha).

The idea is to collectively choose the best (and worse too I guess) songs from our queen in a survival type of game. 

Here are the rules:

- each and every song starts with 10 points;

- each participant must add 5 points to any songs and take 5 points from any others;

- the points can be divided (like give one song 2 and other 3 or even 1 point for 5 songs) or all go to the same song;

- when a song lose all its points, it's removed from the list;

- you have to wait for 10 posts to post again.

 An example:


BEFORE MY POST:

Drowned World / Substitute for Love = 10

Swim = 10

Ray of Light = 10

Candy Perfume Girl = 10

Skin  = 10

Nothing Really Matters = 10

Sky Fits Heaven = 10

Shanti / Ashtangi = 10

Frozen = 10

The Power of Good-bye = 10

To Have and Not To Hold = 10

Little Star = 10

Mer Girl = 10

Has to Be = 10

 

AFTER MY POST:

Drowned World / Substitute for Love = 10

Swim = 11

Ray of Light = 10

Candy Perfume Girl = 10

Skin  = 10

Nothing Really Matters = 12

Sky Fits Heaven = 8

Shanti / Ashtangi = 7

Frozen = 12

The Power of Good-bye = 10

To Have and Not To Hold = 10

Little Star = 10

Mer Girl = 10

Has to Be = 10

The idea is that we go eliminating songs until we find our collective favorite. 

I made a full list with (I believe) ALL of Madonna's songs. Notice that I only included songs that were officially released by Madonna, not included collaborations on other artists releases (like Me Against the Music), neither unauthorized releases (like pre-Madonna). I also did not include live only versions (like La Vie en Rose), remixes or any kind of reworking of songs (the reason I decided not to include The Beast Within). Spoken/read only songs were also cut (like Bittersweet). To make the list a little shorter, some songs were not included in their first official release, but in some album (like I'll Remember). 

Any songs I forgot to put on the list (easy to happen considering there are so many), please feel free to add. 

I really hope you enjoy it!
