Is Evacuate Your Faves From the Charts still here? I thought it would have been eliminated awhile ago. Looks like no one can deny the power of Queen Nat.

I wish I liked the Sugababes more than I did. I appreciate that their music is genre pushing and innovative (for the most part), but I only gave one of their songs a 10, and that was even a push.

Hmmm, I'm guessing Round Round or About You Now.

64. Sugababes- Hole in the Head (6.671)
Highest score: 10 x8 (Stevie, Green, adrianbeane, Sporefan, berberocka, boyamama, Chemist, Ace Reject)
Lowest score: 0 x1 (Dream)
Oh, Heidi:
The song that propelled Sugababes from the new girl band in the game towards the top of the girl band ladder, this song served as the lead single from the imaginatively-titled third album, Three (people called albums that before Beyoncé). It's so far the only single of the Babes to feature in a US Hot 100; reaching #96. That's higher than Ciara and Keri's next era combined! Dorian Lynskey of The Guardian refers to the song as " sling-yer-hook skank". I'm not sure what that means, but I'm fairly sure it's Girls Aloud shade.
Jinzo's verdict: 9
Criminally low once more! The Babes are just too flaw-free for you simpletons.

I don't know how you can be enlightened.
The fact that even their very best albums have a bunch of filler tracks won't help you out, I bet.
I guess the fact that you got into Girls Aloud first may have made everything Sugababes you heard afterwards feel redundant. I don't know?

That's probably it...
And it's not like I dislike them, I enjoyed Angels With Dirty Faces (despite some of the filler) but I just... yeah I feel like Girls Aloud did the same thing but better

Wow... This is just... HORRIBLE 
It's probably too flawless for all the gerls. Getting their 2 best songs out first? Only ATRL.

Ricki Lake on play 
There's no possible explanation for this not even going top 50.

63. Bayonse ft. Shekria- Beautiful Liar (6.776)
Highest score: 10 x7 (superben, airbornE, Kool_Aid_King, berberocka, VJoker, Flashing Lights, keshaspearsxo)
Lowest score: 0 x1 (Cassiopeia)
An artist's interpretation of the video:
Grammy-nominated, Ivor Novello winning and featuring two of the biggest girls in the game, but not enough in it to put it into our Top 60! Liar was the lead single from the mostly-hideous Deluxe Edition of B'Day; this collab looking to provide a melding between Bayonse's hip-hop and urban roots with Shaki's Latin influences. The vid featured a lot a lot a lot of belly-dancing; getting teenage boys locked in their rooms, tissues in hand, for the entirety of 2007. One of these girls gets to shag Gerard Piqué, the other has Jay-Z. Well...at least they both got to have this #1.
Jinzo's verdict: 7.5
Good for what it is- a far inferior version of The Boy Is Mine.

Girls Allud sticked solely to Xenomania. This resulted in most of their albums being almost filler-free and cohesive.
Although the Babes have reached some astronomic heights with them too (listen to "Situation's Heavy", "Ace Reject" and "Never Gonna Dance Again" NOW), the mediocre midtempos largely overshadowed them on their respective albums.

Yeah I get you. I like a lot of their songs, but in general I like them, and I don't love them.
Round Round (I wish I gave it a 10!) and Push the Button are great.

Beautiful Liar is probably my least favourite song off of BDay, 
It just sounds really bland to me.

62. Bayonse ft. Jay-Z- Déja Vu (6.816)
Highest score: 10 x11 (Stevie, HaHa2011, JDella11, superben, airbornE, Kool_Aid_King, berberocka, Flashing Lights, Dream, Konichiwa, MP2K)
Lowest score: 0 x2 (Strangergab, Cassiopeia)
An unflattering picture of Beyoncé:
Oh, Bey. The lead single of B'Day, this song was unable to emulate the runaway success of Dangerously in Love, only getting to a #4. The Darkchild-produced banger, however, was far more infamous for the first in many, many, SO MANY underwhelming Beyoncé vids. It's sexually-suggestive themes, it's cheap-ass budget and disaster of a wardrobe led to thousands upon thousands of fans demanding a re-shoot of the video.
I mean, chile...
Jinzo's verdict: 9.5
Ultimate "pretend you're Beyoncé" song. Put this song on, shake round your weave a bit and screech loudly, and the result is fierceness.

A nice song, but Deja Vu is nothing special.
