You are sick in the head. SEEK THERAPY: 0 x2 (Strangergab, Mandarke)
An unflattering picture of All Saints:
How. Why? A true shocker of an elimination, All Saints really just delivered moody-pop perfection on this number. The soundtrack for Leonardo DiCaprio sexy-fest The Beach, this William Orbit-produced #1 saw the guy deliver some astonishing production far far before MDNA scraped the bargain bins of petrol stations local-wide. And speaking of angry lessers, Madonna was alleged to be "livid" when Orbit gave this to All Saints instead of her. According to rumours, it was a potential addition to Ray of Light. But let's thank f*ck that didn't happen.
Jinzo's verdict: 10
I cannot honestly verbalise how much I adore this song. Atmospheric. Mesmering. Fantasising. Relaxing. Ethereal. Perfect. Would be in or around my ideal Top 10 for sure.
|
I'm done. This rate deserves to be cancelled.
I thought this would win. Strangergab and Mandarke are the pits! Disgusting, not even funny.

47. (=) Florence and the Machine ft. Calvin Harris- Spectrum (Remix) (7.224)
Highest score: 10 x8 (Stevie, HaHa2011, VJoker, Chemist, Glassheart, CrazyCat, Dream, Konichiwa, MP2K)
Lowest score: 0 x2 (conseeded, JDella11)
An unflattering picture of Florence:
Well, a #1 that maybe isn't. If we're talking about the actual Spectrum, then you need to go and look around the Madonna and Beyoncé end of the charts, because that scraped in at #104. The remix, however, sold over 64,000 in the first week based quite heavily on the constant omnipresence of the biggest producer in the game, Mr. Calvin Harris. The man behind quite a number of 2012's biggest hits, critics praised the departure from the normal gospel-ish indie that we're used to hearing from her. Be prepared to spit out wig hairs once more in just a few weeks, as Sweet Nothing is just round the corner.
(Who is Farrah?)
Jinzo's verdict: 7.5
I like it, but it just seems...cheap for someone of Flo's musical stature. She's got a phenomenal voice that's complimented brilliantly by the folk-ish background, she hardly needs the untz-untz beats that most of our other girls absolutely swear by.

I gave Spectrum a 9. Its not as good as the original for sure, but I still like it!
I'm genuinely surprised that this wasn't top 20 though

It's just not Flo's cup of tea. The original is fine the way it is and this remix was flat out unnecessary.
But  at this trash beating Pure Shores.

Florence's unflattering picture is VERY... unflattering.

47. (=) Rihanna ft. Drake- What's My Name? (7.224)
Highest score: 10 x9 (Stevie, Strangergab, Glassheart, Kool_Aid_King, berberocka, boyamama, VJoker, Flashing Lights, keshaspearsxo)
Lowest score: 0 x2 (madonnas, JDella11)
An unflattering picture of Rihanna:
Oh na, na.
On hiring Drake for the song, Rih says:
"Drake is the hottest rapper out right now and we've always been trying to work together."
That means they've probably slept together. Dirty witches. Speaking of sex, Ester Dean delivers her trademark sexy lyrics and Stargate bring their A-game production to this smash second single- a release which, arguably, solidified Rih's status as a major, major player in the pop circuit. 2 huge #1s on the bounce, she commenced to absolutely take the UK by storm, LOUD now having sold millions of copies here in the UK; 6x platinum in fact. But not before a bit of controversy. Her raunchy pre-watershed performance on the UK X Factor (let's face it, it was basically her writhing round in a bikini) attracted around 4,000 viewer complaints to the British media regulator, Ofcom. Rih's been pumping her labia at every given opportunity since.
Jinzo's verdict: 9
Absolute urban-pop smash. Points deducted for Drake's lunacy. The square root of 69? Girl, no.

I also gave it a 9 because of Drake's rap
If that wasnt included this song would've probably been a 10.

Nothing that is left is better than Pure Shores.
Except for maybe Bad Romance and Everytime.
But it's the best UK-based song we had left.

I just listened to Pure Shores one more time and I came to the conclusion that I could possibly give it a 1, MAYBE a 2, but a 0 also fits very well to this song.

Fine eliminations.
WMN could have been better if it was a little shorter and less repetitive
