Hopefully you calculated wrong because this is TRAGIC

Aw well it was fun while it lasted :'( 

 

I'm just glad it was that particular Ting Tings song and not the overplayed SUALMG :cm: 

 

I remember seeing them live a few years ago and almost losing my voice singing along to TNMN (still my least favorite concert I've been too, though -- the band was fine, but it was TOO SHORT).

 

Anyway, let's listen to this other highlight from that era:

Lows: 2 ( @Sazare) [The ONLY score below 6!]

Shocking! Valerie sucks. But then I’ve never really gotten Amy’s appeal, so

I don't know what's right and what's real anymore
And I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore
And when do you think it will all become clear?
'Cause I'm being taken over by

the fear

:jonny5::jonny5::jonny5::jonny5::jonny5::jonny5::jonny5:

 

Absolutely ICONIC and deserving winner, it got her songwriter of the year award back in the day :clap3:

 

as always thank you for hosting this and I can't wait for part 3 :supaspaz:

Only two - you and @Gwendolyn. More than half of the voters gave it a ten though!

Gonna assume everyone just thought it's gonna be a strong winner contender so they gave 11s to some dark horses :fan:

Which we will be doing again!

Disappointing that That's Not My Name was out first, but The Fear winning makes up for it :clap3:I remember rating the songs thinking that it would be an appropriate winner despite it not being my highest score.

 

That Saturdays song being number two is a mess though. Let me be a bit harsh the next time I see that one in one of these rates... :eli:

I got my hands all ready to touch your soul
I'm gonna get the energy to wire me close to you
Got my eyes on the prize I see
Are you watching me, baby?
Cause my heart is turning to solid gold
And my head is saying, "Honey, too good to be true!"
But one look in your glittered eyes
Power's failing me every time

 

That passage is something rather incredible! :heart:

One of Xenomania's best songs lyrically? Methinks so!

oh noooo :dancehall:

 

eh, I'll take I guess since no one rated it below an 8. I was actually rooting for The Saturdays to lash this whole thing if That's not My Name didn't win.

Oh wow, it wasn't even close! Lily really freaked it with "The Fear."

 

But we got soooo close with "All Fired Up"! Proud of helping drag the Saturdays' flop asses all the way to #2.

When you put it like that! Truly magical.

The Promise should have won but I am not mad at the winner. 

Nice rate as usual Ace! :clap3:

And I hope “The Promise” ******* sweeps. Everything the Girls do, better than anything ordinary.

My sister, my sister! Thank you for seeing the vision!

The Promise deserves to win idc, it's one of their best and most timeless songs ever and the iconic Sarah verse

Here I am, a walking primrose
Wondering when I'm gonna see you again

is a highlight that deserves a beautiful tribute now that we won't see her again...

 

You guys saw it too. :clap3:

 

Next time maybe.
