Overall score: 5.01 High score: 9 (SupremeGoodness)
Low score: 1 (Haus_of_Will, madonnas, Konichiwa, Jdella11, MP2K, jose168, genetic fail, Great Username)
The lowdown: Featuring a sample of the Buggles' "Video Killed the Radio Star," this will.i.am production is a bubbly rap duet in which Nicki and Will flaunt their respective greatness. It served as a joint single for the two rappers, peaking at #24 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The vote: Citing will.i.am's general presence, early voters were brutal to "Check It Out"; four of its five scores were a 1. The song rebounded slightly over the course of the rate to avoid last place.
Last Chance is just such a let down, you look at Natasha on the title and you're like "Oh, wait now this might be different - this might ****" but no. One of the worst Onika and worst Natasha songs.
Overall score: 4.70 High score: 10 (Hunter_13, SupremeGoodness)
Low score: 1 (MP2K, KSmith011, MWB, genetic fail, Great Username, jinzo)
The lowdown: This spacey spoken word number features a thumping beat and an Auto-Tuned manifesto for the Information Age. Co-written and produced by Klas Åhlund, it was originally featured on Body Talk Pt. 2 and is the tenth track on the Body Talk compilation.
The vote: ATRL was clearly not feeling the monotone weirdness of "We Dance to the Beat," as it received only 16 scores above 5.
Best line: "We dance to the beat of opportunity knocking"
This song is so boring. Like how can we dance to the beat?
The lowdown: In this upbeat Natasha Bedingfield duet, Nicki Minaj uses an ambiguous gun metaphor to ruminate on the soaring potential of her life and career. Co-written with Andrew Theilk and Bedingfield and produced by Drew Money, it is the closing track on the standard edition of Pink Friday.
The vote: Whether voters were turned off by the confusing lyrics or the ultra-bubblegum sound, a third of the scores for "Last Chance" were a 3 or lower.
Best line: "My flows are crisis, they scream in high pitch"
YES! This is a horrible horrible collab! Like they don't mix well at all. And Natasha sounds like a farm animal during the chorus

YES! This is ****ing bull****. So damn bad! Like how dare them sample Radio Star??!?!?! I love that song!
This makes me want to start a "Am I Robyn Yet?" Tumblr.
It was a prime opportunity to shade the other Robyn....but it's like 6:30am over here.
Nicki's going to get massacred here, isn't she? Roman: Reloaded backlash is in full throttle. Though I can't be one to complain. After all, I did give a song sung entirely in Swedish a score higher than around 5-6 of Nicki's more sung, errr, efforts.
