I feel really bad for Madonna here... she is being pictured as a poor talent with all the posts made in this battle! Something I strongly disagree with... so I'm not going to sit this one out like I always try to do, but actually vote this time and it's for Madonna!!!
And for those that might have started to think... it's definitely not a pity vote as she has prooved to be a huge chameleon of an artist, ever evolving throughout the decades she has been performing already! Which artist can present such an amazing and extended resumay of hits and albums with worldwide sales?
Granted... Michael Jackson can too, but she should never be forgotten or painted black in my humble opinion! There.... =)

@ Armormasterthenew : That's a poor attempt on reasoning there, so please elaborate or your vote will not be counted, sorry! ;)

With my personal vote counted the score shows us :
______________________________________

9 - Michael Jackson 'King of POP'
-VS-
1 - Madonna 'Queen of POP'

______________________________________

That's probably the last in between score count for this battle as Michael Jackson is clearly defeating Madonna and making a run for the win... so the next person voting for MJ will decide Madonna's faith and close the battle! =0

Let's see who will have the final (ela-bo-rated) vote in this battle before we move on to the next! Post those votes people!! VOTE!!! =D

I'm hearing him on the radio a lot and I've grown to really like Michael Jackson's music. I never really stopped to appreciate it for what it was before he passed away, but after hearing 'Thriller' and 'Billie Jean' every day, it grew on me. Now I can truly feel the energy behind his music and behind him.

I would have to place my vote on Kiss because they have a better type of rock. And please their band is still making music and going strong. While Aerosmith has given up on music and is breaking apart.

agreed, but when Aerosmith was around they had allot more hits. so over all Aerosmith wins :D

vote is Aerosmith

This is the first time in three months that someone has made that error. That's definitely a record...

...or I just missed a few posts here and there since then.

I guess this battle has had it's due running time... Michael Jackson has snatched the title from Madonna as the true "King of POP" and leaves her in his wake! =)

The final score count shows it all :
___________________________________________

10 - Michael Jackson 'King of POP' - WINNER!!
-VS-
1 - Madonna 'Queen of POP' - Runner up...
___________________________________________

The in between given Aerosmith vote for the first battle ever posted was worth a good laugh! I think Ernie said it all! LOL =P

Well... on with the show it is! Time to do a little experimental battle in between... ;)

### The Motown Divisions Battle!!! ###

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8168/7308910200_911ac9c560_z_d.jpg

This new battle is going to be a little more tricky in a matter of choice as this is a battle between artists who were signed to different sub-division record labels that were either a part of or -later on- merged with the world famous Motown record company!

To elaborate on the battle a little... there will be 3 sub-divisions featured in this battle, each with 3 example artists :

# Motown Records (Est. 1960)
- Diana Ross & The Supremes - You Can't Hurry Love
- The Four Tops - Reach Out, I'll Be There
- The Jackson 5 - I Want You Back

# Tamla Records (Est. 1959)
- Marvin Gaye - What's Going On
- Stevie Wonder - Superstition
- Smokey Robinson & The Miracles - Tracks Of My Tears

# Gordy Records (Est. 1962)
- The Temptations - My Girl
- The Contours - Do You Love Me
- Rick James - Super Freak

So, it's your choice to pick the one sub-division label that has your preference in this battle! So do NOT vote for a single artist, but for a complete label! All clear? Allright...

On your Motown... err... marks! Get set... VOTE!!! =D

I'll have to vote for Gordy Records. I just happen to like all the songs that you listed for that label better than those that you listed for the others.

Don't expect too much from this battle in the way of elaborated responses. The quality of the music, in this case, doesn't really correlate as much with the record label as it does with the group recording the music.

Well, I think I'll have to vote for the Tamla subdivisions due to the presence of Stevie Wonder, given the choices you listed.  Michael Jackson is better than the Jackson 5 (though that group should have just been named Michael Jackson and these 4 dudes), so as the Jackson 5, they lose to Stevie Wonder.

My vote - Tamla

Just my 2 cents here, DayCee, not a fan of this layout.  Mixing artists seems to me like it's going to lead to general chaos.  People might hate the guy standing next to the guy they love. Like Ernie said as well, it doesn't really lend itself to elaborated responses.  It seems to me that people will see too much work in comparing each and every artist and instead will give mini-answers.  I guess we could be wrong, and I don't mind saying that I hope I am.  However, I still want my Cooke vs. Gaye battle, lol.

And ilberic... stop whining will ya? You'll get yours, don't worry! ;)
