Low score: 1 (jinzo)
Listen to "Ghost"
The lowdown: By far the most peculiar moment on Beyoncé, this experimental spoken word intro to “Haunted” sounds more like something you would hear at a slam poetry showcase in Brooklyn than on a pop superstar’s album. Melding dreamy synths and robotic vocals, “Ghost” is a statement on reclaiming pop music as an art form rather than a business.
ATRL says...: "The earth fell out from beneath me when I heard this for the first time," J. YONCÉ raved. "'Pretty Hurts' fooled me into thinking we were getting just another Bey album and then the spoken word started up." August admitted, "Since we're ranking the visual album tracklist, I can't help but feel a little generous for the most visually appealing video." helloDer agreed. "The lyrics slay so hard and don’t even get me started on the video," he wrote. lovesong thought "'9 to 5 just to stay alive' is one of the best moments of the album for sure." He added, "I feel like I'm saying this a lot for her." Stevie called it “a stellar, atmospheric and reflective introduction to ‘Haunted.’ But that's all it is: an introduction. I have trouble recognizing it as a stand-alone song.”
Best bit: "I'm climbing up the walls, 'cause all the **** I hear is boring/All the **** I do is boring/All these record labels boring"

Wait people have been rating the video????????

TBH Roar's 50 placement was due to all the frustration to the Queens reign

STUNNED that Yoncé missed the top ten. Disappointed that LL didn't make it, but DH will hopefully go far.
The other three I am okay with, although I prefer Ghost/Haunted to Blow.

I want this to end like this:
10. Applause
9. ***Flawless
8. Blow
7. We Can't Stop
6. Partition
5. Dark Horse
4. Wrecking Ball
3. Drunk In Love
2. Do What U Want
1. XO
Also, I was noticing how the results kinda ended up similar to the Fall 2010 Pop Rate. Beyoncé, like Robyn, ended up dominating the whole rate. Gaga was like Ke$ha, because while they did have some early eliminations, both of their albums held up surprisingly well. Miley is like Taylor in that both of their albums were very scattered across of the board, having some of the lowest scores, while also ending up in the top 10. Lastly, Katy/Britney are like Nicki, in that they were all thoroughly dragged, with only one of the 3 just barely making the top 10.

Yes that would be great. You could probably even do it an hour later if that fits better for you.

It can, I don't mind, I loved following this thread though Sunday night would be more amazing, kind of like the Oscars of ATRL. (Just make sure it's before HBO airs "Looking")

I forgot about Daylight Savings Time and now I'm feeling a little thrown off. What about 1 pm PST (in about two hours)?
