It lost in the first round to “Say My Name.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I also don't think your story is true. https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/music/music-videos/the-band-behind-natalie-imbruglias-megahit-torn-reveal-the-story-behind-the-90s-classic/news-story/781f98c660cad9df7b59ca798b10717e So what I watched in one of those talking head’s type “greatest whatever of all time” countdowns was that one tidbit where the original writers “didn’t love it” and were “unaware” of the cover until it blew up. Contorted. it’s My Life is still much much better with an amazing video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s true. I’m shocked at No Doubt getting any level of respect on this forum. However, the complete disrespect they got in the final round makes me think this crowd IS as simple minded as the average ATRL stan… (I know it’s hard to tell via texts- but my sassy statements are totally lighthearted and fun) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverie Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 #x peaking songs would always be fun, greatest vocal performances could be lots of fun and also go horribly wrong Or....greatest use of samples Or...something like greatest basslines in music, or greatest instrumental break/something instrumental related could be a lot of fun with the picks, wouldn't have to just be guitar rock solos Or greatest dance routines in pop music ORRRR greatest video game ost or song a sleeper hit!

andresg770 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 10 hours ago, Reverie said: Or greatest dance routines in pop music I've been suggesting doing one based on the Best Choreography VMA for a couple of years (similar to the Best Female Video one from a few years ago). Some iconic dance routines have definitely been omitted in the nominations, but it's still a fairly good selection. Also, some big names you'd expect to be all over the category have only won it once (Madonna, Gaga, NSYNC, Shakira, BTS), which would make for some interesting variety in the tournament Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just seems like it could be a tough one, because I don't think people would be as familiar with the material, and are they going to take the time to truly engage with it? Maybe it could work. If you did it as a rate, I would absolutely participate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
