tried listening to Nadia Oh based on this thread. All I can say is, if you want to listen to that kind of beat, you are better off listening to Reggeaton or good Latin dance music.

On Day 2, the Nadia Oh saga came to an end when "Taking Over the Dancefloor" was eliminated at #70. Even though she performed poorly in this rate, we all know she is one of the most promising young artists of her generation, so who cares what pressed haters think?
As we move into Day 3, there are a few girls who are in obvious danger of elimination. The first is CocknBullKid, who witnessed the elimination of three of her singles tonight. She now has just two singles remaining. Joining CocknBull is Rita Ora and Yasmin. Ora, who lost "How We Do (Party), is left with just her UK #1 debut "Hot Right Now". Yasmin has lost three of her five songs in the first two days and only has "On My Own" and "Finish Line" left in her arsenal.
Conversely, there are three women who have yet to be harmed in the rate. Laura Marling, Rebecca Ferguson, and Delilah are all still at 100%. While Delilah and Rebecca only have four songs and three songs, respectively, in this rate, Marling so far has been the most impressive with an outstanding nine songs in the rate. Surely some of these ladies' songs must be coming up in the next few days?
One rivalry that has been mentioned so far in the thread has been that of Katy B and Ellie Goulding. Both girls had songs eliminated tonight, but how will the rest of their singles do? Are they heading for a Top 10 showdown, or will they each have shocking eliminations on Day 3? Other artists who lost songs today are Emeli Sandé, Anna Calvi (each lost one), V V Brown, and Charli XCX (both V V and Charli have three of their six singles remaining).
Cher Lloyd and Paloma Faith, the two polarizing artists that have seen their stans squabble a bit tonight, were both MIA tonight, but will that be the case tomorrow? It would be interesting to see their stans go at it if they both had songs eliminated!
Tune in to Day 3 tomorrow for answers to all these questions

I hope Cher doesn't get punched out tomorrow with my two tens... Want U Back and With Ur Love deserve much more than that.
While I'm fine with Anywhere in the World's elimination, the rest of Kathleen's better make it FAR.
Here for Paloma Faith, Ellie Goulding and Emeli Sandé's wigs getting snatched. I don't feel anything listening the mediocrity they put out.

And On My Own deserves top ten. Such a perfect song, better than anything by the lesser artists here.

Death at two of my 0s leaving at the same time. An unbearably messy drumming track with vapid singing and a truly horrifying rap/sung pairing. I didn't expect HWD to make it far, anyway, at least it made it past Nadia Oh and her inexplicable set of 10s.
How is "Finish Line" still in? That song is the perfect definition of a failure. And everybody who gave Jezebel a 0 needs to make an appointment with the best otolaryngologist in town they can find.

Basically. I can't at people trying to make a big deal out of her just because her songs are fun to bop to, while the others are "overly-serious" and "faux-artists."  We knew what we were doing by sacking her out as soon as we could.
Edit: And I'm loving the graphics Michael. Elegant and playful.

Still stunned at the lack of taste here. This is FLAWLESS.
Better than anything on Mathangi's last mixtape AND album.

Excuse me but /\/\ /\ Y /\ is one of the best albums of all time, and possibly the best album of 2010 (better than Kanye's).

I feel like I missed a lot. I will definitely be commenting more in the future.
I am happy with Nadia Oh and Tulisa being the first two out. But the order of elimination for Nadia's songs were all wrong. Something 4 The Weekend and My Egyptian Lover were not the worst songs in the rate. Got Your Number should have also been much higher, but oh well.
Cocknbullkid was pretty mediocre but I don't agree with One Eye Closed and I'm Not Sorry going before her later singles. Those two were her best.
And Crying Blood gone before Children? 
Game Over and Shark In The Water better make it far.
I actually loved Art Bitch. But I'm glad it made top 60. Charli's remaining songs are top 10 material.
And lastly, I don't agree with the Anna, Ellie, and Paloma hate. Anna is great with not a single song below an 8. Blackout should make the top 10. Paloma is good; not great. But the majority of her singles are a solid 8. And lastly, Ellie's singles sans Wonderman, Your Song, and The Writer are all 9s or 10s. Yes.
made it to the dinner date, my teardrops seasoned every plate

Tho some of the eliminated songs should've got higher, I'm not even mad, since we're swiftly ditching the garbage as well.
And @michael you better choose the time more wisely next time. The ratings were considerably lower today.

Yet you gave Cher two tens
I sort of feel safe for Paloma now, well not safe that she'll make top 10, but safe that she'll last longer then Cher

Thank God this is Emeli's first appearance. Any of her other songs going out before this one would not be appropriate. I just noticed that this song peaked at #6 in the UK. Wow.

I'm getting damn tired of these Katy Perry rip-offs  Enough is enough! This song hasn't been released yet in the UK, but it's slowly climbing up the US charts. I'll be so disappointed in America if it makes Top 20 here!

Now I don't really care about Adele, but How We Do? Y'all are so ****ing wrong for this. Sure it's generic, but it can have my **** any day

This is the last elimination of the night. Hmm, even though Ellie put her own special mark on this (the "oh-ohs" at the end are a nice touch), it still feels reductive. It also doesn't suit the rest of her discography at all. Overall, it's just a bizarre cover choice! It still went to #2 in the UK, though. I can't believe Ellie's never had a #1

This song is ****ing beautiful  So wrong for this. So mutha****in wrong.
