Life is Real got voted out as the fourth best song on the album. It should be higher, though. I don't think I'd ever heard anything bad about the song until a couple days ago.
Here's a comment from a cool guy in the midst of round 4:

Prediction: Cool Cat will "win" this round, Back Chat or Calling All Girls next round and the round after, and Put Out the Fire after that.
Prediction 2: Under Pressure, Staying Power, and Life is Real will be in the top 5.
Well, Cool Cat got voted out that round, then Girls and Fire followed immediately. Back Chat, however, has made it into the top three. Been voting for it for the past several rounds, BTW. The second prediction is completely correct. However, in a later prediction, Life was supposed to get second place. Whoops.
Anyway, I'm done singling out MtS. Three songs are up for voting: Power, Chat and Pressure. Which of the three is the weakest? I know who I voted for.

Have yourself a simply phenomenal Wednesday, or whatever day it happens to be when you read this.
Out of those three, Back Chat has to go.
I'm bummed by seeing Body Language and Dancer so low on the list. Those tracks (along with Staying Power and Back Chat) ARE Hot Space and make it what it is.
Songs like Life is Real or Las Palabras de Amor could have easily been part of any other 80's Queen album.
I'm voiting for Staying Power. Now that Life is Real is out, I hope Back Chat makes it to either #1 or #2.
Under Pressure fluctuated between numbers 3 and 4 in the last round, so we never know.
It's a hard one to predict, but I'm guessing Back Chat will be in second, and Pressure will be first.

I am with you on these comments Wiley. Staying Power, follwed by Dancer then Back Chat really get the album off in the right way. Body Language is acceptable too in my opinion. Probably my four favourite tracks on the album just there.
The old side 2 had some OK Queen tracks, but nothing memorable in the Queen catalogue, the way I see it.
