Florence, Duffy and Amy were the only ones who got 10s. Each one got one. Maybe I was too harsh...

It's all good. You're buffered by some people giving almost all the songs tens.

I was definitely way too hard on Ceremonials. Oh well, Lungs is all that matters anyway.

[Ace Reject]

Wow. Unless these rates change, one of these ladies won't even make it to the top twenty.

When is this due? I can't do this tonight, I don't feel well.

Whenever you feel up to it. But really by Wednesday?

I sadly think it's Lily. They wouldn't leave "Mercy" out of the Top 20.

But seriously, WTF?

We shall see.

Duffy sounds like an aged Pixie Lott. Idk why but her singles are pretty boring.

After I finish rating Florence's many singles and Amy's lesser known ones, I'm good to go.

[DiamondDust]

I definitely think it's Duffy. Her voice is pretty good at first, although it grates as you notice how nasally she sings. Oh, and her singles are largely bland and forgettable--definitely eclipsed by Adele, Lily, Flo, and Amy.

GIRL I'm almost done!!! I'll have the votes in two shakes of a donkey's dinky.

[Jameson Teqkilla]

If Lily doesn't make the top 20 I will get every last one of you banned for life.

It has to be Duffy though. I didn't realize people didn't like her very much, I gave Rockferry, Mercy, and Warwick Avenue 10s.

I will not participate Because You left out LEONA......

HOW/WHY

[Cap10Planet]

I think I was a bit generous with Duffy. A few of her singles are strong, but her issue is that she is stuck in the retro box and it gets boring after awhile. Hopefully, she expands and works with more diverse producers if she wants to make a comeback for next album.

I must say that Lily has some interesting single choices. I wasn't particularly fond of a few of them to be honest, but I enjoyed her for the most part.

Adele, Florence and Amy are my favorites. Hopefully, they make it through.

No 10s for Lily?

[Andre]

16 tens, not me being a 10-*****

[supaspaz]

I know my scores are ridiculously high (I don't even want to admit how many 10's I gave), but so many of these songs transcend a critical approach. When you pour as much passion and artistry into your music as these ladies do, it can be downright irresistible. I hadn't heard most of those Flo tracks before, but she was slaying my soul!

Adele: 9.22
Lily Allen: 8.80
Duffy: 8.67
Florence and the Machine: 9.50
Amy Winehouse: 8.63

HOW/WHY

I explained it earlier, but she doesn't fit with these five women, who all started independently (although three of them came from the Brit school, but that's a story for another day ...). She's not seen as a singer/songwriter like these five are, and she doesn't have their acclaim/respect/credibility.

New update: Now it seems that all five women will have at least one song in the top twenty. But ...

... the competition is looking stacked. Songs that I thought would be easy top tens are struggling, and there are quite a few surprises in store.

21 rates in so far. Until Wednesday to get votes in. Let's do it people!

[PopBoi]

I hope Lily is the one flopping, rating these made me realize how hit-and-miss her singles were.

I gave a 10 to Adele, Duffy and Amy.
