Average: 3.8625

 

Highs: 8.5 ( @madonnas - "this is basically a will.i.am song lol")

 

Lows: 1 ( @Quicksand, @supaspaz, @prézli - "Taio Cruz is worse than cancer.")

 

[supaspaz]

I never give 1’s. But this one broke me.

[madonnas]

I thought this one was endearing

Jessie J is bad just like most snobby people have agreed since ten years ago.  She has a couple moments but this is not one of them. 

[khalyan]

Taio Cruz being worse than cancer

[andresg770]

I'm typically nice with my scores, but that Jessie J song was just bleh

I too prefer Hurts when they go more Depeche Mode and less.... whatever the hell "Stay" is.

 

This next one is a real injustice!

Yeah I remember thinking they were f*ggy synth pop and being quite surprised that this is what I was hearing.

I think I wasn't over the shock that they're the same people as Daggers from the 2008 list.  "Money" was so exciting to hear, while this was... underwhelming.  Should've given them a lower score, but I felt like I had to like it because of their 2008 song  

[supaspaz]

Not @Patrick wasting a 10 on “Do It Like a Dude”

That song was good!!

[andresg770]

That Nerina Pallot song felt like it was trying to do a few different things -- but they were all derivative, so meh.  Like, it was fine, but I kept thinking I've heard others do it better.
