\n\tBy now, you\u2019ve heard about the five artists who are slated to receive Kennedy Center Honors<\/a> in December \u2013 Michael Crawford, Gloria Gaynor<\/a>, KISS<\/a>, Sylvester Stallone<\/a> and George Strait<\/a>. At a press conference announcing the honorees, President Trump <\/a>said he was \u201c98% involved\u201d in the selections and that he\u2019ll host the televised ceremony on which these artists are saluted.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile Trump\u2019s involvement will make many view these selections through a partisan lens, we\u2019re asking you to put that aside and simply tell us what\u2019s your favorite song associated with this year\u2019s honorees. We give you two choices for each honoree.<\/p>\n

\n\tFor Crawford, the Tony-winning star of The Phantom of the Opera, you can choose between his two most famous solos in that show: \u201cThe Music of the Night\u201d and \u201cThe Phantom of the Opera.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFor Gaynor, you can choose between her two top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100<\/a>: her discofied remake of The Jackson 5<\/a>\u2019s \u201cNever Can Say Goodbye\u201d and her Grammy-winning No. 1 smash \u201cI Will Survive.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFor KISS, you can choose between their rock anthem \u201cRock and Roll All Nite\u201d and their image-broadening ballad \u201cBeth,\u201d the band\u2019s first top 10 hit on the Hot 100.<\/p>\n

\n\tFor Stallone, you can choose between Hot 100-topping hits from two of his Rocky movies: Bill Conti<\/a>\u2019s \u201cGonna Fly Now\u201d and Survivor<\/a>\u2019s \u201cEye of the Tiger.\u201d Both songs were Oscar-nominated for best original song. (Fun Fact: Stallone is this year\u2019s only Kennedy Center Honors recipient who is associated with two No. 1 Hot 100 hits.)<\/p>\n

\n\tFor Strait, you can choose between \u201cAmarillo by Morning,\u201d a 1983 hit that has long been a fan favorite, and \u201cCheck Yes or No,\u201d one of his record 44 No. 1 hits on Billboard\u2019s Hot Country Songs<\/a> chart.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhat\u2019s your favorite of these 10 songs associated with this year\u2019s Kennedy Center Honorees? Vote!<\/p>\n
