Sign o the Times Survivor Round One Preliminary

Nearly everybody loves Sign o the Times, now lets see how much we love the songs. The goal of this thread to find our favourite songs on the album by progressively eliminating tracks until we are left with the one magical Jam.How I will do it is I will not eliminate it one track at a time so it drags on forever, but eliminate 6 songs in this initial round and then 2 more each time until we are down to 4 and then one at a time til we get a winner.
The rules are we use only the 16 tracks on the Sign O the Times albums, no B sides or Outtakes or Crystal Ball songs that didnt make the cut.
Here we are going to choose the 6 weakest jams of the 16 tracks (Which may be very strong compared to other albums, but we are in the league of gods here. I will start. Please try and choose six, not more or less, and it has to be 6 different songs, no choosing the same song twice, thrice, or six times.
I will start below

The 16 Jams

Sign o the Times
Play in the Sunshine
Housequake
Ballad of Dorothy Parker
It
Starfish and Coffee
Slow Love
Hot Thing
Forever in my life
U got the look
If I was ur girlfriend
Strange Relationship
I could never take the place of yo man
The Cross
Its gonna be a beautiful night
Adore

The six I vote off are

1. Play in the Sunshine
2. Ballad of Dorothy Parker
3. Slow Love
4. Hot Thing
5. Strange Relationship
6. The Cross

(The last 3 were hard choices)

Cool let the votes begin
So what are u going 2 do? R u just gonna sit there and watch? I'm not gonna stop until the war is over. Its gonna take a long time

Its ok guys, voting the six weakest tracks off SOTT is not the end of the world, its just they are not as great as the diamonds here, think of it as separating the emeralds from the rubies from the diamonds here, not wheat from the chaff.

If you choose less than 6 its fine, as the song with the most votes will go first.

You have 32 more hours
So what are u going 2 do? R u just gonna sit there and watch? I'm not gonna stop until the war is over. Its gonna take a long time

Hmmm, first two are easy for me..

As for 4 more, now i'm struggling...

It's Gonna Be A Beautiful Night
The Cross sad
Starfish & Coffee sad
U Got The Look sad

Last three are all songs I love. Guess I just love 'em less than some of the others on the album. Tough call.
