Hmmm... "Smile" deserved a little more. But "Only Girl" came WAY too far.

Reasonable eliminations.  As long as Evanescence and Adele stay away from the top five, I won't have a problem with the rest of this countdown.

Ugh.. I should have given Smile a 0 if I knew it was so overrated here. The song is mediocre.
If I did, Oops I Did It Again would probably ended up in the top 10.

I wish it was My Immortal instead, but it's still Evanescence, so

Time for 2 more. One's a flat-out shocker, one a few of you would deem a deserved winner. Got your predictions?

You're correct. Sort of.

8. Pink- Just Like A Pill (8.461)
Highest score: 10 x15 (Stevie, backtoback, supaspaz, Green, Strangergab, lovesong, conseeded, airbornE, Regina George, Sporefan, berberocka, VJoker, CrazyCat, Konichiwa, MP2K)
Lowest score: 3 x1 (Dream)
An unflattering picture of Pink:
A third single of a second album...that is how long it took Pink to get a UK #1. I guess you could say Pink was Mizundastood. LOL LOL SO FUNNY JINZO.
You might not need a Toxicology degree to work this out, but Just Like A Pill is sort of kind of a little bit about drug abuse. For instance, the video has a sh*tload of rabbits running through it for not much reason. No, this isn't some meta-shade against Lady Gaga's furrie stuff a decade later, it actually refers to the feeling of psychedelia off drugs like LSD. A street name, if you will.
Speaking of the video, Pink says the following:
"This one's very dark and artsy, and I have black hair, which is very fun. I loved it.
It's another part that I haven't concentrated on before"
Having black hair is your idea of fun? Lame bitch. You were more entertaining when you were high off your face on Blow.
Cascada re-recorded an uber-camp Eurodance cover of this for the Perfect Day album. The CHEESE that cover contains is enough to destroy galaxies. It's amazing.
Jinzo's verdict: 8
One of the highlights of her generally lacklustre discography. A rare time Pink delivers a good song without shouting sh*t in your face or relying on tired, recyled production techniques.

Might as well put the other one out there too...
7. Beyoncé ft. Jay-Z- Crazy In Love (8.487)

Highest score: 10 x18 (jinzo, Stevie, backtoback, madonnas, Supaspaz, dinorel, JDella11, Strangergab, airbornE, Kool_Aid_King, berberocka, Pink Panther, VJoker, Chemist, onthe6, Flashing Lights, Dream, Ace Reject)
Damn, you wanted Bayonse ouT: 0 x1 (Cassiopeia)....but other than that, a 3 from tell_me_a_lie and then nothing until Mandarke's 5.5!
An unflattering picture of Beyoncé:

And here was where a big girl was born. (no, besides Michelle McManus.) 8 million copies sold worldwide, this really is one of those infamous, iconic landmark moments in pop.
As we've previously discussed, Beyoncé had to sit about and wait as the biggest girl in the game, MISS KELLY ROWLAND, stole all her shine with that Dilemma of hers. But 2002 passed, and 2003 was to be all B. Well, a bit of Jay-Z too. As legend goes, Jay went round to the studio to record his rap at about three in the morning. He thought up the verse in about ten minutes, but did not write it down. Funnily enough, this was the same creative process Nicki Minaj used for Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded.
This song also got the world feeling horny again. Yes, for the first time in a long time, horns were back in action at the top of the charts. And she and her declining album sales have been using the song to prop up her live performances ever since. From half-arena capacity Strasbourg show to random-ass hotel Revel concert thing, small/medium audiences everywhere have been captivated by Beyoncé's lacefront and shouting and trumpets and stuff.
Jinzo's verdict: 10
A stone-cold classic; the best thing in B's entire discography by an absolute landslide. A majestic, excellent, in-your-face bit of pop perfection. If this doesn't wanna make you channel your inner Willow Smith and whip yurr hurr back and forth, then nothing ever will.
