Well who cares if she is not that popular? That doesn't mean her music is weak.
Vanilla?
Do you mean she is boring compared to the others?

I was only trying to answer your question. Like, people would vote higher for people they're aware of/like. By 'vanilla' I mean most of her album doesn't draw out a response from me, good or negative. Like, I didn't remember most of the tracks.

[Stevie]

My Averages:
Lights - 8.36
La Roux - 8.04
The Family Jewels - 7.54
Travelling Like The Light - 7.5

Lights and La Roux are close.
The Family Jewels and Travelling Like The Light are close too.

No, I know. I agree.
I was just trying to have a discussion.

This was my problem, to be honest. After Game Over and Shark In The Water, everything seemed to blend into one. I honestly couldn't tell you any stand-outs from that moment on. Her voice just grates her way through the song- like she's constantly turned up at 11 when she sometimes needs to just tone it down to a 5 or 6 to better suit the song. Marina can pull it off with quirky production and interesting lyrics, whereas VV is just one-dimensional for my tastes.

That being said, I really didn't mind Travelling Like The Light (the song). It was a nice, mellow ending.

Honestly, what is wrong with Crazy Amazing? It is one of the better tracks.
The best for VV, in my opinion:
Shark In The Water
Game Over
Leave!
I Love You
Travelling Like The Light
Crazy Amazing or Everybody

As for VV...well if newer scores don't change her, she will not have a pleasant time in this rate.

Poor girl.

Originally posted by Stevie

So what song should be the first casualty of this rate?

Your Song. Like you said, it shouldn't have been included and is completely out of place. I just cant with her emotionless delivery. And her audacity to cover and actually release a boring version of the song - people think it is actually her track.

The US tracklists have some interesting differences to the UK ones!

I noticed that!

Had to listen to "Seventeen", and well... lowered the quality of The Family Jewels tbh. Not a gem that's for sure.

I completely agree! Trudged through the songs and found most quite unremarkable.

[Stevie]

I'm sorry but Hermit the Frog and Seventeen are terrible.
Along with Numb, they are the worst of the Marina songs.

I know.
And then she releases it as a single.

Alright, the graphics will be arriving at around eight. So we will start at about eight.
I just finished calculating the results with all 21 rates.
The results are, let's say interesting.

Everybody and SITW are my standouts. I used to be obsessed.

Oh waiT, Seventeen is one of my favourites from the album! 10/10 from me.

I've had it since she had the Mermaid vs Sailor EP days. Let us not forget that Mermaid vs Sailor's official cover art is this:

Can everyone refer to La Roux correctly tonight? The group is comprised of two people; Elly Jackson and Ben Langmaid.

I know but it is much easier to refer to them as "her" or "she".
I don't think they will be talked about much tonight, however.

[Stevie]

Starting any minute now. Where is everyone?
I think 50 to 46 for tonight will be good.

[madonnas]

Ready!!!

I'm ready for poor VV to be punched out the game

Basically, the host of the rate calculates all of the individual rates sent in by the participants, and then they hold a countdown eliminating the lowest scoring songs until we reach the winner.

I averaged out all the scores, and now I am revealing 50th place to 46th place.
