    I'm exasperated with myself for not being able to find the words to explain! It is very subjective. I personally always listen to the tune of the song first - the melody, music and the beat - before I listen to the lyrics. I don't know why it's like that for me. I used to be a lyrics girl (back when they put the lyrics on the album cover - LOVED that), but now it can be years before I pay attention to the lyrics of a song. I wish it were different for me, but that's how it is.

    Visions appeals to me in all the categories I first mentioned. I like the sound of the song. I don't LOVE it...I don't really LOVE hardly any of these songs.

    When I play Survivor, I try to treat the songs as if I'm hearing them all for the first time. Then I make my list. I try not to overthink it, but when we start talking about them like this sometimes I second guess myself.

    While I admit that Felder's voice doesn't do a lot for me, I think here it's pretty good. But more than that, I love the guitar and beat of this song more than anything. And I think the lyrics are pretty good also, especially this verse:

    Go ahead and live all your fantasies
    (Don't you ever think about the other side?)
    Helps you get from where you are to where you want to be
    (You and me ought to be taking a ride)
    You do the best you can and you make your mistakes
    (If you don't like it, you can say that you tried)
    'Cause all I have to give is whatever it takes

    In my opinion, it's far above mediocre.

    For what it's worth, since we still all seem to be all over the place in this game-like Dreamer said, I like that--makes it interesting, I will stick with my vote of Twenty-One.

    Except for Twenty-One, there are 6 more songs on my list that I would vote off before any of these!

    Since I can't save Visions or Too Many Hands this round,

    I vote for Is It True.

    Well I would have voted for Visions if there had been a chance to eliminate it because I think Too Many Hands is a better song, especially lyrically. But since my vote won't make a difference here, I'm going to vote strategically again ...

    I cast my vote for Take the Devil.

    Visions has been here far too long in my opinion.
