As I leave for the day... I truly did not expect SEB to chart so high! True Popjustice.

New in Town is an excellent song! I remember discovering it on MTV Push, I stanned it right away. The next day I went to the CD store in my town and they shockingly had Hands! Purchased right away.

Her accent ruins an otherwise nice song. In order to make me appreciate a song with a heavy British accent you must have a peculiar voice like Marina's, or else it's an abysmal score from me. :sorry:

Make a Scene is definitely her best project.  Ten after ten after ten.

Leona Lewis, "Bleeding Love"

 

Average: 7.886

 

Highs: 11 ( @greento, @KillingYourCareer) 10 ( @KLatz, @supaspaz, @dirrtydiana, @Patrick)

 

Lows: 4 ( @Reverie, @madonnas), 3.5 

I was basic for my 11 in this rate. This song is responsible for some of my strongest eargasms. The X Factor UK live performance :jonny5:

I've been waiting to comment on my shock/pleasure that Miss Sophie has made it so far, just so I wouldn't jinx her!  HOORAY for the Lockdown chanteuse!!!!!

You mean to tell me Nero and Siobhan Dillon were better than this?

 

 

Peter was really tripping in 2012!

Posted

P.S.: Leona would've probably gotten one of 10s (maybe even 10+s) if she'd been nominated for "Better in Time" :worship2:

Didn't expect the ting tings here but the rest aren't surprising

Highs: 10.75 ( @prézli), 10 ( @dreamsicle, @KillingYourCareer, @Patrick)

 

Lows: 4 ( @khalyan)

Ugh LOVE Little Boots. So surprising that Remedy didn’t get the PJ endorsement considering it was THE “big” single but still…j’approve.

Not the worst Saturdays song doing the best :biblionny:  Lily Allen for the win I guess 

Posted (edited)

Ughhh Bittersweet missing top 5 is a tragedy :jonny5:

Should have tanked Bleeding Love harder, never liked it. Better In Time is so so much better

 

Ideally

1. The Fear / The Promise

2. Valerie

3. That's Not My Name

4. All Fired Up

 

My 11 and 10.75 still in :clap3:

It's crazy because this is the highest I think I've ever rated "Valerie" in a rate thats it been in an now I'm hating that it's too high. :toofunny3:

 

"The Boy Does Nothing" is half offputting half bop.

 

"Song 4 Mutya [Out of Control]" and "Method of Modern Love" are gonna be on repeat after this rate. My greatest finds. So close...

Posted

Y'all low raters are WRONG for taking out Beat of My Drum at 18! Find some taste :angry:

 

(she really should've been #1... :jonnycat:)

 

Also The Boy Does Nothing and the Goldfrapp song missing top 10 was cruel! Two of the best discoveries from this rate (along with Song 4 Mutya and Bittersweet).

 

First half of the top ten played out decently though. Not mad at any song that made it here (well The Promise is too high for me but it's Girls Aloud so I'll accept it... :cupid:). The order is off though. Call the Shots should've been top two obviously :chick1:

 

I need The Fear or That's Not My Name to take it. They're the only worthy and fun winners in my eyes :dancehall:

I'm not surprised this one was too ahead of its time for some people. At least it made the top twenty! Not all men can say that.

@Patrick, I'm so glad that your car accident can never dampen your love for Alexandra Burke.

Yes, Adele should not be in the top 10, can't say RITD is "bad" though but I just don't care.

It's objectively an incredible song. You all are just hating because it's not the Twenty Quid Prize vibe.

I was just about to ask when her time was coming

 

I knew I could count on madonnas

 

I mean a karaoke staple but still 

I just couldn't deny it. "Bleeding Love" holds up shockingly well.

My 11 is still in it! Let's go, "All Fired Up"!

 

Otherwise, "The Promise" > "The Fear" > "That's Not My Name" > "Valerie"
