Re: R1: No One v Ebony and Ivory
I like a lot of Alicia Keys songs ("Try Sleeping With a Broken Heart" is an incredible tune) but "No One" is about as cookie-cutter as they come. That said, "Ebony and Ivory" is a disastrously bad song. "No One" takes it.

Ebony and Ivory is complete dogshit. Like one of the worst songs of all time. I can’t believe anyone could still like that saccharine, embarrassing, We are the World tripe

Re: R1: No One v Ebony and Ivory
I find it kind of unbelievable that anyone would actually like "Ebony and Ivory"

I like Stevie Wonder and Paul McCartney individually but that song is just atrocious

No One, but neither song should go far.

It should've been the SNL version of Ebony and Ivory.

I'm not even listening to No One. It can't be as bad as Ebony and Ivory.

Re: R1: No One v Ebony and Ivory
It’s not a personal favorite of mine, but it’s better than a lot of other songs in this context. I do love their voices though. Not a fan of No One.

Ebony and Ivory.
I'm kind of a dork for both McCartney and Wonder. It's hardly a high point for either but I like the song much better than No One.
