Can't believe we're voting against Kate Bush in a round where we're voting for Dido

I know, I really hate the draw sometimes, amazing songs facing off in one match, while another match has a load of meh and you just reluctantly vote for the lesser of two evils...

Jennifer Lopez - If You Had My Love 6 Vs 3 Pink - There You Go

Arctic Monkeys – I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor Vs Green Day - Longview - This is a really tough match. Both are great tunes. I decided to go for the more edgy song.
