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.

The fact that this beat out All Shores....
I am legitimately speechless.

"Pure Shores" is #48? I am...so confused right now. How did that even happen? Did deaf people vote in this rate? What is life?
And the elimination of "Independent Women Pt. 1" is just adding insult to injury. Why can't urban pop ever get a little bit of love on ATRL?
Honestly, "What's My Name?" deserved better, too.
But I'm still steaming about this All Saints ****ery. Mess.

Wow, Pure Shores deserve a higher position.
Other than that,i am fine with all the other songs being eliminated. WMN is a bit too high though!

2 deaf people voted in this rate at least, given its score.

Jinzo, promise you don't have any more shockers for today
(I don't think it could get worse than "Pure Shores" though)

Yeah, Pure Shores was probably the most disappointing result. I have a feeling if a bigger star did it it would probably have been much higher... this is seriously gross.

I really wanted participate in this, but couldn't because of various problems irl.
Now I'm happy that I'm not part of this mess.
In short several people must be banned permanently from this forum or even better shot for benefit of mankind .

Who would be your winners and losers then?

A look into my crystal ball says.....2 will be shocking.
1 will be atrocious, one will be just a mere wreck.
Of course, this is only me speaking. I'll let the results speak for themselves.
So let's start!

44. Sugababes- Round Round (7.249)
Highest score: 10 x5 (JDella11, adrianbeane, berberocka, boyamama, MP2K)
You're just a bit weird, aren't you: 0 x1 (jqnetto)
An unflattering picture of Keisha:
Upon readying the production for this track, Brian Higgins of Xenomania stated the following:
"'Right, you know, this is a hit, this piece of music is a hit. I haven't got anything on it, we don't have any song attached to it. So what are we gonna do about that? ..you've got three hours to come up with something."
Funnily enough, this is how Beyoncé makes Michelle Williams write her songs before beating her in the face with a shoe and stealing the writing credits*.
It also scanned gold in Australia, which is nice. But despite the video featuring tornadoes aplenty, it could not smash in tornado-stanning USA.
*- source: Farrah said it. (Who is Farrah?)
Jinzo's verdict: 9.5
Just great, great stuff. It's solid, though not 'out there' spectacular like the Babes have the capability to be.

Tbh it seems like every elimination is shocking for you (edit - not pointing at you, Jinzo, just general saying).
But if each elimination is shocking then neither really is.

I can deal with this. Its placing is about correct.

43. Kylie Minogue- Spinning Around (7.255)
Highest score: 10 x4 (JDella11, berberocka, Dream, Soma80)
Why are you giving 0s to Kylie? Do you want to be banned?: 0 x1 (airbornE)
An unflattering picture of Kylie:
This was intended originally for Paula Abdul's comeback album. Imagine? Imagine if Kylie didn't channel her inner dance goddess on this? No.
Instead, this was Kylie's big comeback. Her first UK #1 since Confide in Me, this track has become synonymous with those golden hotpants. The hotpants were found by Kylie's friend on a market, and costed 50p. That's almost double the total revenue of Alexandra Burke's Heartbreak on Hold.
Jinzo's verdict: 9.5
I feel stupid for not giving this a 10! It really is perfect. I just felt like I was giving the flaw-free year of 2000 far too much stanning. Like, 2012? Are you taking notes?
