Wait, are the Pussycat Dolls still in this? "Don't Cha" is so overdue for the boot!

I gave that song a good score. Stickwitchu is 100x worse. At least people remember what Don't Cha sounds like.

88. Gabrielle- Rise (6.105)
Highest score: 10 x4 (superben, berberocka, boyamama, Soma80)
Lowest score: 0 x4 (Mandarke, Strangergab, jqnetto, adrianbeane)
An unflattering picture of Gabrielle:
Rise would prove to be the second and unfortunately last #1 from the good sis Gabrielle. This one-eyed wonder has stans in high places- the good sis Bob Dylan liked the song so much that he helped not only to co-write, but also allowed Gabby to sample Knockin' On Heaven's Door free of charge. To the girls who don't know what that song is, it's better than Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj.
Jinzo's verdict: 8.5
An uplifting anthem! I love me some Gabrielle. She's like Beyoncé without the dreadful oversinging.

I have to disagree. "Don't Cha" has this weirdly oppressive melody that is such a downer for me; I get no pleasure from listening to it anymore. "Stickwitu" is disposable, but it's cute and I like the harmonies.

I think I only gave Dont' Cha a decent score cause me and my friends made fun of it when it was released a LOT.  The melody does suck, but it's one of those songs that is quotable and hilarious. Kinda like Milkshake, but only 5% as good.

87. Geraldine Halliwell- It's Raining Men (6.118)
Highest score: 10 x8 (Mandarke, Cassiopeia, JDella11, airbornE, berberocka, VJoker, boyamama, Dream)
Lowest score: 0 x4 (Strangergab, Kool_Aid_King, Pink Panther, Soma80)
An unflattering picture of Geraldine:
The GAY ANTHEM OF OUR ENTIRE LIVES has been eliminated. Stefani Joanne Germanotta or Madonna Louise Ciccone could ever hope to reach such queer-ass highs as Geraldine did with this. It ultimately became Geraldine's 4th #1 in a row (a feat Ace Reject will be quick to point out no other UK girl has ever managed), and it's also weirdly, weirdly, weirdly popular in France, where it's sold around 812,000 copies and it's been certified Diamond! Could your faves?
Jinzo's verdict: 8.5
Makes you want to unleash your inner bottom-taking s-l-u-t.

I really like "Rise"! Good sample, nice vocals, uplifting vibe. It deserved better.

"Your Disco Needs You" stomps its drag heels all over that over-produced mess.

86. Melanie C- I Turn To You (6.132)
Highest score: 10 x2 (Ace Reject, MP2K)
Lowest score: 1 x1 (Strangergab)
An unflattering picture (there are many) of early 21st Century Melanie:
FINALLY! After 45 songs, we've finally gotten to a song where a 0 hasn't been given. The good sis Melanie Chisworth SERVES dance-pop realness with this number. She was, before a Baby Spice of the same group, the first woman ever to get a #1 as part of a quintet, as part of a Geri-less quartet, and then a #1 gone solo. It's a classic that spans genres- the dance mix by Hex Hector which was released as the single version earnt Mr. Hector the title of Remixer of the Year, whilst a more metallic version of this effort has been done courtesy of doom-mongers Machinae Supremacy. But even their gruff metal appearances are no match for Ms. Chisworth's ugly ass 2000s' hair.
Jinzo's verdict: 8.5
A little bit repetitive after multiple listens, but still better than a majority of today's dance-pop.

That one was decent, but I preferred her duet with Left-Eye.
