BotB Week 3: The Other Side of Embers, Envelopes & Umbrellas
Hmmm. My least favorite week so far - and yet again, Rihanna and Radiohead are up against each other in the same week. Who takes it?
Jennifer Lopez, performing Love Don't Cost a Thing
Nicki Minaj, performing Roman's Revenge (featuring Eminem)
Rihanna, performing Umbrella (featuring Jay-Z)
Radiohead, performing Weird Fishes/Arpeggi
Bruno Mars, performing The Other Side
Natasha Bedingfield, performing Angel
Mae, performing Embers and Envelopes
Shinedown, performing 45
Jojo, performing Anything
Kelis, performing Milkshake
You know the rules. Listen to all ten songs, and rank them - leave blatant stannism to the curb. You have until WEDNESDAY.

Sis, I left off at least twenty other songs. 
They really were/are the best girl group of this century, huh?

Well, I don't know who #1ed Shinedown, but at least they got the #1 right, that's all I'll say.
I'll do rankings later, and the top fours will be really fun to do. Might do those today, though if I try to do JT, that is going to be a BITCH.

Exclusion of "Sexy! No No No..." was a sin. The true tea is that they are the best girl group of the millennium.

Luckily, only JT's cherrypicker has to worry about his top four.

No problem, I understand. This week isn't the most inspiring.
But I do need top fours - I've only received about three so far?

[10] Embers & Envelopes - Absolutely amazing from beginning to end.
[9] Milkshake - SERVING. YES.
[8] Umbrella - Disturbia is better, but this will do.
[7] Angel - Great lyrics and a nice song overall
[6] Weird Fishes / Arpeggi - Solid.
[5] My Love Don't Cost A Thing - Meh. This was never one of my favorite songs from her.
[4] Anything - This was chosen as her best song by the pickers? This song is not her strongest. I would have chosen Coming For you.
[3] 45 - It was okay.
[2] The Other Side - zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
[1] Roman's Revenge - NOT HERE FOR IT.
