The sun sets down on the battlefield but the war is not over. The warriors are in their camps taking some rest. There´s a boy wondering alone on the battlefield. Every now and then he bends down on his knees and picks up small objects from the grounds. I think he plans to show them to his friends later. A bullet on the battlefield #14: We started with 61 songs from the first stage and 57 from the second almost equally distributed in the groups. After Phase one we still have a very balanced situation: 31 songs pre-reunion and 33 post reunion. The second stage production seems to have, so far, a slight preference from the users. But things may change dramatically from now on. A bullet on the battlefield #15: The most represented albums in Phase Two are Wings of tomorrow, Secret Society and War of kings (all with 9 songs). But Wings has lost only one song ( Dance the night away), Secret Society two (the title track and Wish I could believe) and War of Kings three ( Second day, Angels with broken hearts and Light it up). A bullet on the battlefield #16: The less represented album is Bag of bones. Only two songs survived (the title track and Firebox). I think this can be explained considering that while it is, as a whole, a very solid and enjoyable work, the single tracks don’t shine so much when compared to other songs. The band itself, lately, performs live only Firebox. A bullet on the battlefield #17: When comparing the final 64 songs between the new and the old battle, there are 15 different songs. Of course the nine songs off War of kings have claimed some room, mostly to the detriment of the so call bonus tracks (in fact we’ve lost, with respect to the final 64 of the old battle, Here comes the night, On broken wings, Break free, A long time comin’ and Yesterday’s news). We have also “lost” four songs from BOB ( My woman my friend, Riches to rags, Demon head and Doghouse), three from Europe ( Children of this time, Boyazont and Words of wisdom), and three from Prisoners in Paradise ( Talk to me, I’ll cry for you and Homeland). But there are six more songs that made it this time and didn’t in the old battle: Treated bad again, Lyin’ eyes, Carrie, Coast to coast, Settle for love and Brave and beautiful soul). A bullet on the battlefield #18: In only one case the selection we operated this time is exactly the same of the old battle: in this new battle we’ve chosen six songs from Last look at Eden and exactly the same of the old battle. A bullet on the battlefield #19: Concerning Only young twice (the song not the battle  ) this time it got zero votes. In the old battle two users awarded it their vote: watercolourgirl (she might have found songs that she likes more in this year’s group) and EuropeMagnum who joined this battle too late to give his vote to that song. Or maybe he wouldn't have in any case. |

I truly hope NTY will make it! It has to!!!! I mean, you just listen to it and you can't but fall in love with it!!! 
How generous is Joey on stage. We're very accustomed to it, but no less admirable. Never lose the emotion, he sings every song as if it were the first time, always gives 100% in each concert, no matter where, or whether there are many or few people, is amazing. Always conveys a sense of security, difficult to detect if he had a good or bad day ... always gives the maximum, we can see in every video we have in the forum, his great respect for the audience, doing him (if is possible) a frontman even bigger.
 This emoticon of Joey is very shirtless  right? (I do not think he is singing "Carrie" here  I see more a performance of "Nothin to ya" so perfect for this thread LOL )

So true Eva Tomorrow! I've always said that Joey shines of positivity on stage and makes every single EUROPE concert a happy gathering of people! He pays so much attention to details, to what the fans tell him and does everything he can to make fans even happier! |

Hello Aphasians! I can't keep up with this pace and all the things to do in life... that's why I'd beg ent not to shorten the span of time for voting too much! I go in order, because I would like to leave a trace here also of my previous preferences which I missed to provide in due time... For Group H, my votes would have gone to: Words of wisdom Aphasia Love chaser Ready or not America Devil sings the blues In my time Vasastan So not too bad, I have kept all the songs apart from Words of Wisdom and America... For the tie-break, actually I have an ex-aequo among: Children of the mind Treated bad again Tower’s calling but if I am forced to choose two, I would drop Children of the mind, even if with regret, even if I had told Joey in March that Light It Up and Children Of The Mind were the two songs in WOK that I liked the least, but now I like Children Of The Mind so much!!! Finally, let me give my vote, and this time ON TIME  (thanks for the drums' rolling, Ian...) for the Group A in the second phase of this battle: Nothin’ to ya Prisoners in Paradise A mother’s son Rock the night "Nothin' to ya" has really good chances to survive the present stage, furthermore it's been appreciated so much live by the audience and the male one too! So it's not only a "trip of my mind"... In Wien I had a couple of "fast and furious guys" right behind me who went crazy with it! And moreover...how not to remark the fact that Joey now announces this song by saying "Hold on your underwear...'cause this is Nothin' To Ya!" ?  D'you see watercolourgirl ? It's not me to get the red card this time...blame it on the frontman!!!  But since I can't be 100% sure that this song will survive the present stage, I would also take the opportunity to say that there has been a moment on this one at Skogsrojet Festival in Rejmyre that is impressed in my mind forever, with Joey and I pointing at each other during the "if you swear that I mean nothin' to ya!" I couldn't think it possible at all, I know it won't repeat, but after the show his eyes were still glowing and smiling and he told me "So, you really like Nothin' To Ya, don't you?"... as a friend of mine uses to say...: "THUD" I can only tell you that of course I  him for that, but he survived and I released him in the end safe and sound (he risked A LOT though  ), 'cause ultimately I am a darn good girl...  Thank you, Joey!  |
