No Close to Love doesn't belong ![:o](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRLSmilies/redface_zpsfd99364e.gif) It is a good song but imo it's just that - a good bop. It doesn't go any further than that, there's nothing special to me...
Something New is good, I gave it a 9 but it seems SO out of place in a top 10 of their songs. It should be at, I don't know, #25 or something...
I don't think I'll ever get the big deal about On the Metro...

Those Ten tracks should have left AGES ago. Anyhow, this is the way I want things to pan out:
1. ''Biology''
2. ''Sound Of The Underground''
3. ''The Show''
4. ''Call The Shots''
5. ''Something Kinda Ooooh''
6. ''Sexy? ...No, No, No''
7. ''Memory Of You''
8. ''Close To Love''
9. ''On The Metro''
10. ''Something New''
Yes I know this ain't ever gonna happen since jinzo participated. But HEY it's good to dream sometimes right?

Call The Shots is a flawless song, it's emotional, the lyrics are great, Nicola's bridge is amazing, there's no reason to not give it a 10.
MESS @ On The Metro still being here
Love Machine or The Promise (it's so underrated ![Bibliotheque](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRL_Smilies_All/atrlers/biblio_zps23dff242.gif) )should take its place in Top 10
And Untouchable is too high
Hopefully the top 10 will go:
10. On The Metro
9. Something New
8. Memory Of You
7. Close To Love
6. The Show
The rest are all great so I don't care tbh

Although being a Close to Love fan, I agree that's too high, any other TU top 20 track could be in it's place on top 10.
But how is Memory of You and the Ten tracks on the top 10? The Promise, Love Machine and Can't Speak French (Even Untouchable) would be better for the top 10 ![sad](images/smilies/images/smilies/sad.gif)
Besides that, good top 10, I'm glad that No Good Advice was so close to top 10 ![clap3](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/67d90ee8.gif)

The eliminations yesterday were so bad. I won't even comment on them.
Make that happen please:
10. On the Metro
9. Close to Love
8. Something New
7. The Show
6. Memory of You
Any of the other 5 songs deserves to win. Don't make me choose. ![Dancehall Queen](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRL_Smilies_All/atrlers/dancehall_zps88e4c4c6.png)

"Close To Love"
Average: 8.96875
High score: 10 (Mikal, madonnas, paulyyyozd, spbb123, Jinzo)
Low score: 6 (Xorev)
The little non-single/b-side that could, I love this song cuz of it's bounce but even I am amazed it made it to #10.

"Memory Of You"
Average: 9.0625

Low score: 3 (PopBoi)
This AMAZING track barely saw the light of day - it was shunted to the 7" vinyl record originally with "The Loving Kind." After a rightful public outcry it got a more common release. And it was the #1 track voted onto the bonus disc for Ten. The very idea this was left off Out Of Control when it would have blended perfectly with TLK, "Love Is Pain," "Turn To Stone" and the other icy tracks is insane - yes it's just Kimba with an assist by Nicola on the second verse (and no, Nicola's solo version is not better. She doesn't work on the whole song like Kimberley does) but it's rather brill. A rightful inclusion in the top ten, probably should have been top five.

"On The Metro"
Average: 9.15625
High score: 10 (Mikal, spbb123, True Skarlet, Doogle, Jinzo, Mandarke)
Low score: 7 (PopBoi)
Hell, I'm shocked this made it this far
But with 6 9's and a 9.5 along with their tens, this Ten track (and probably a tour single, if they're smart) streaks into the top ten. It's spunky and sounds how the Girls would be now, even if the lyrics are a bit trite. The melody is tight, the split chorus is amazing and there's an inherent sadness in it that only works at 2am with a couple drinks in ya and you still haven't found someone to take you home.

Okay.... Something New and Call the Shots should not be high. They're not great.

PopJustice claims it's the best Pop Song of the 2000s. I say it's one of their best ballads. Done and done

Yes, it sounds like a Spice Girls song. Yes, we'd wish for a bit more lyrics in the first verse rather than "uh-uh!" Yes, Sarah screaming "follow the leader" is everything. Yes, Nicola constantly looked like she would rather be doing accounting than doing this song live. But with Cheryl sort of dancing, Nadine giving herself a concussion, Kimba having lead vocals, it was everything we didn't know we wanted after three long years of watching Cheryl try to impress in a series of horrible horrible outfits, Nadine pretend that Tesco was a smart idea, Sarah vanishing from view, Kimba thinking Broadway was ever a good idea and Nicola being tricked into hosting a show for Rihanna.
Yes we missed them. I suspect that if I did this in a year this song would be farther back. But for now, I think this spot is more than justified.
