I just don't understand the love for Only Girl. Like, I can usually see why people would love a song even if I hate it but I cannot for the life of me grasp why Only Girl gets so much acclaim on this site. Is it not just an uninspired and disposable dance/pop song? Everything about it is just so unspectacular. Not to mention Rih was REACHING with those vocals on the chorus.
How is it still in this?

The top 16 is stiff comp. But I'm sure there will be surprises.
I'm sad that PF didn't make it.

I just hope "Someone Like You" leaves soon. No way should it be higher than most of those stone-cold classics.

WHAT IS THIS TOMFOOLERY?!
"Everytime" out before "Bring Me To Life"?
"Poker Face" and "Bad Romance" out before "Only Girl (In the World)"?
These are all brilliant songs that would have had a justified place in the top ten—even winning the whole rate. Instead they got beaten by the generic and atrocious. For shame.

The 3 leaving tomorrow haven't really been brilliantly predicated yet.

: 10 x10 (supaspaz, Strangergab, superben, tell_me_a_lie, Kool_Aid_King, berberocka, boyamama, VJoker, Flashing Lights, Soma80)
Lowest score: 0 x1 (lovesong)
What it feels like to know Natasha Bedingfield did better than Pure Shores:

Natasha wanted, for her album, to have songs that were "organic, different and real". Don't you just want to BURN her gonorrhea-ridden clichéd ass already? This was a song not organic, different and real, but one borne out of her own stupidity. In between a series of caveman grunts, she said the following:
" I was at wit's end and just wanted to say what I meant in a simple way, without using all those flowery words"
So thanks to her not even Grade 1 stabiliser-using pencil-crayon-owning plastic-cutlery using basiC and uneducated ways, her record company paid a lot of hard-earned money so THIS BITCH can sit and write a load of talentless repetitive garbage. The f*ck you think you are, trick ass bitch?
I've not watched the video because I have better things to do with my time, like snap the wings off pigeons and troll Beyoncé forums. But Wikipedia says the following about it:
"The video begins with Bedingfield waking up next to a boombox, dressing, and leaving her home with the boombox. While performing on a beach, she kicks her boombox, which comes alive and begins to dance. The video concludes with Bedingfield arriving back home to a house full of dancing boomboxes."
So, okay.
1) The f*ck your man, bitch? Why are you waking up to a boombox? Just because your 2 Chainz-ass looking face can't suck a d*ck or lick a **** mean you wake up next to a piece of sound equipment? Trash ho.
2) The f*ck you taking your furniture to a beach for and KICKING it? What kind of disregard for the environment? Bitch, some seagulls might not get to eat today because your fat no-man having Liza Minelli-looking hoe mouth is ruining their food hunt.
3) The f*ck those other boomboxes coming from? Trick ass bitch. Not only are you causing environmental damage and the famine of innocent seabirds, you're now stealing from other people's households? What kind of straight outta Compton crime wave?
Bitch deserves behind bars, not this rate. Lock up and don't throw away the key. Seven lethal injections, hang her, burn her, and play Pound the Alarm repeatedly to the ashes.
Jinzo's verdict: 1.5
Why was I so lenient? Everything about this song is terrible. It's only redeeming feature is when it finishes.

Had to respond cuz this might honestly be the funniest thing I have read on this forum. Love every word of it

18. Lady Gaga- Poker Face (8.194)

Highest score: 10 x14 (jinzo, backtoback, Supaspaz, Strangergab, conseeded, Sporefan, berberocka, Kool_Aid_King, Pink Panther, VJoker, CrazyCat, Konichiwa, MP2K, Ace Reject)
The trolling continues, why didn't I just remove your votes from the rate?: 0 x2 (Regina George, Glassheart- girl you gave Bad Romance a 10, are you a screw loose?)
Let's give Stefani something to cry about:




So that's game, set, match for Stefani Germanotta!
Wikipedia says the following:
Lyrically, "Poker Face" is about a woman engaged in the practice of cockteasing.
So, err,

???
In the US, the dual #1s of Just Dance and this represented the first time since A-gorilla's Genie in a Bottle and What A Girl Wants that a female artist was able to achieve consecutive #1s from their début singles. Notwithstanding, Bionic is available for £2.
Of the video, she says:
"I knew I wanted it to be sexy, so I thought no pants, because that's sexy. And I knew I wanted it to be futuristic, so I thought shoulder pads, because that's my thing.
A simpler time that we all strive for. The video also features two Great Danes, the names of whom are Lava, and Lava's son, Rumpus. These 2 dogs have as many UK #1s as Avril Lavigne and Nicki Minaj.
Jinzo's verdict: 10
Another perfect piece of pop excellence! The chorus is just absolutely sublime. Straight out brilliance. She absolutely nailed it with this single- and showed us all that she was a girl that was here for the long haul. It was with this song and this video that I stepped aboard a stan train that would only stop when a girl called Cher walked into my life.
