It has become late enough in the countdown that I can say this Ke$ha song deserved to go out before all the upcoming eliminations (sans one song I still refuse to use). Blind is a genuine ballad that still falls perfectly in the tracklisting of Animal, a fun partying album. Perfect position for this song.

I AM
Average: 7.5625
Highest: 10 (8x) | Lowest: 1 (3x)
It's a heartfelt ballad, sung by a very vulnerable Christina. And the best song on Bionic. It's a nice mid-tempo with repetitive "I am..." lyrics. And the best song on Bionic. It sounds like Natasha Bedingfield could make this a #1. And the best song on Bionic. ... that one didn't make sense, but what truly doesn't make sense is why this song is so low. It's the best song on Bionic.

THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY
Average: 7.65025
Highest: 10 (7x) | Lowest: 4 (1x)
In a previous rate, Beyonce's Countdown, a current single, earned #1. Sadly, the only current single on this rate got SNUBBED. It didn't even make the top ten. Max Martin and Dr. Luke, who produced a majority of the songs on the rate, produce this one about losing a teenage love. It's extremely sweet and extremely catchy.
I decided to just go ahead and give it a 7 instead of making myself listen to it again when I did my ratings.
I didn't participate in this rate because I didn't take the time to listen to Bionic and give it ratings I've only listened to this album three times so I have a hard time remembering any of the songs.

LOVE THE WAY YOU LIE, PT II (feat. Eminem)
Average: 7..859375
Highest: 10 (6x) | Lowest: 3 (1x)
Excuse the mess that is the original Love the Way You Lie, Rihanna's own take on the controversial single is ten times better. Being the only ballad... in the album (heh, I made funny), Love the Way You Lie Pt II serves its purpose extremely well. Rihanna provides a great vocal over the piano instrumental, and while Eminem reprises his part in this song for only one verse, she's in full control.
