First track out is an unexpected bop. But it's been in last place throughout the entire time a ballot has been updated, really stood no chance.

Sevyn has penned hits for many R&B artists in the past and even went through two girl groups before she scored her first top 20 hit on the Billboards U.S. R&B chart with "I Like It". So the girl knows how to write a hit R&B record! Perhaps that's what makes it the least special track in the rate, it's just like everything else out there? Great production, nice vocals, I think this should have made it further.

I don't think it deserved to leave first, but it's so forgettable so I don't care too much

"Kathy Lee" has a nice groove and snap to it but it doesn't take off. Cool production, interesting voice but completely forgettable. Not a good start for Jessy considering she only has two singles represented in the rate. Will she keep on moving or will she be the first artist clocked?

The backing vocals were the best part tbh. I couldn't here ha very well.
Who is Kathy Lee anyway?

It's cute. I may have overestimated it a bit with that 8, but it's a catchy song. I like the production 
Not too bothered about the elimination though

This was pretty good too. This rate is not off to a good start. So many bores left, how could y'all prefer them over this?

I was praying it would be the first one out, just for Sevyn's sake, but that didn't happen.

Before there was a "'90's Music" there was this 70's inspired 5th single titled "Come Into My Head". It has a jazzy beat with some electronic tones in it, it's funky, it's crazy, it's quirky and very much different from her previous singles from Vows. Kimbra goes bizarre over the bad communication between herself and her lover. Looks like we weren't too crazy about this song.
