After a tense back and forth, Jackie Blue won round two.
In round three, two epic monsters of soft rock come to blows as Fire and Rain battles Your Song. Who wins? Let's see! Remember to vote in the poll or your vote won't count!

I love both songs, but JT wins this one.

I had to go with "Your Song," as it was Mr. Bluebird's and my first dance at our wedding.

Toughie. But Fire and Rain wins out.

Toughie. But Fire and Rain wins out. Maybe it's not a good moment to try and learn some English, or maybe it's always a good moment. In any case, I was wondering why you said "win out" instead of simply "win". Is there a difference? Phrasal verbs (or particle verbs, as they call them now) are definitely the most puzzling, frustrating and harder to learn part of the English language, so better you take all the chances you get to learn about them. I vote for "Fire and Rain" too, there was always something too cloying about "Your song".

It implies that the win came after a laborious struggle, perhaps a battle with twists and turns where the outcome was sometimes in doubt. At the other extreme - it would be ridiculous to say that someone "won out" in a coin toss. I'm not sure that a close poll vote really justifies the "win out" phrasing, but I won't quibble with the polling office.

Your Song for me. (Am I the only one who feels like he’s trying to channel John Lennon in that video?)

James Taylor. But I'd choose Elton over many of the other songs in the game.

most important me is the JT one ... both wonderful songs though and would have won the other two rounds easily

Thanks orioles70 for that very clear explanation, and thanks vlogdance for the link with the definition. They are consistent. I learnt something today (whether my memory will still have it clear the next time it comes out is a completely different matter ).

Ditto. Difficult choice but if I had to be stuck on a desert island with only one of them to play I think Fire and Rain would drive me insane more slowly
