BuzzJack Music Forum _ Pop _ AF Idol 3.0: Rita Ora Discussion
Posted by: JosephStyles 6th August 2021, 08:05 PM
First round is free choice!
I was thinking we should throw everything we can at the opening rounds of this to give Rita a shot at qualifying for the 2nd half. If she makes it, it won't matter what order the songs are sent in anyway as everything counts to the final score, so I see little point in holding back! Therefore... I Will Never Let You Down or Let You Love Me up first?
Posted by: Frenchie 6th August 2021, 08:20 PM
Those two seem like great options. Rita should have a good chance of qualifying I reckon.
Posted by: JSG 6th August 2021, 08:58 PM
Both of those are really great options. I feel like Never Let You Down would be received better but then Let You Love Me is a great song as well.
Posted by: Lunar 6th August 2021, 09:18 PM
I prefer Let You Love Me and that's more likely to get my vote, but I also feel that I Will Never Let You Down might do better.
Posted by: PAJ 7th August 2021, 12:18 AM
I prefer Let You Love Me but note sure which would do better.

Round 1 has begun! http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=247921&view=findpost&p=6928251
We have sent I Will Never Let You Down 
There's 24 songs, what you have to do is pick your Top 12 and reply to the thread with your choices. Hopefully that will include Rita!

ROUND 02
Album Track
> Any song from an album which wasn’t pushed as a single . <
We've tried First Time High before and it got us eliminated last time iirc so I wouldn't be wanting to go there again. I think The One could be a great pick here!
Posted by: JackTheeStallion 12th August 2021, 04:47 PM
Was Bang Bang pushed as a single??
Posted by: Lunar 12th August 2021, 04:59 PM
The One would be a great choice! 
Posted by: JosephStyles 12th August 2021, 05:04 PM
It's a bit of a grey area unfortunately but I'd lean towards saying it was, sadly for this round!
Posted by: JackTheeStallion 12th August 2021, 07:39 PM
Oh that's a shame! It would've slayed im sure.
Posted by: PAJ 12th August 2021, 10:06 PM
Falling To Pieces?
Posted by: London 14th August 2021, 03:19 PM
I’m loving your song choices so far for Rita. I’d forgotten how much I like her sound 
Posted by: Tafty³³³ 16th August 2021, 01:39 PM
ALL TO PLAY FOR (TRULY!)
SO close around the top half! Voting closes tonight at 23:59 (BST)!

(+ obv The One from this contest)
We've used a load of great Rita songs already - I'm intrigued to potentially go very recent and jump on the You for Me hype? 
Posted by: Ho-Lee Smokes 17th August 2021, 12:55 AM
How You Do or Poison omg
Posted by: Tafty³³³ 17th August 2021, 01:02 AM
I can't believe we've not used 'Body On Me'?
I think that might be a good choice to use?
Posted by: PAJ 17th August 2021, 01:44 AM
Poison, R.I.P or How We Do.
Posted by: Tafty³³³ 17th August 2021, 01:53 AM
Ohhh we haven't used 'R.I.P.' either.. hmm.. 
Posted by: -Jay- 17th August 2021, 08:01 AM
You for Me *_* but idk, is it risky?
We’ve already sent all my major fave Rita songs. R.I.P (2012) or How We Do would do well perhaps…
Posted by: Ho-Lee Smokes 17th August 2021, 08:06 AM
HOW WE DO
Posted by: -Jay- 17th August 2021, 08:06 AM
Party and party and party and party x
Posted by: awardinary 17th August 2021, 08:29 AM
I’d really like to see how Hot Right Now does. Can we send that?
Posted by: Frenchie 17th August 2021, 08:30 AM
I second Body On Me!
Posted by: Jade 17th August 2021, 08:49 AM
'Body On Me' is probably my favourite song suggested!
Posted by: JackTheeStallion 17th August 2021, 10:17 AM
You For Me is rubbish!
Big, Body On Me or Poison!
Posted by: Lunar 17th August 2021, 10:36 AM
Body on Me or You For Me
Posted by: -Jay- 17th August 2021, 12:50 PM
Posted by: George.keh 17th August 2021, 12:56 PM
Poison
Posted by: Tafty³³³ 18th August 2021, 12:06 AM
The round where we decimate the other forums? R.I.P TO THEM tbh.

Posted by: JosephStyles 21st August 2021, 12:07 PM
Round 4 is ballads & midtempos!
Body On Me's moment arriving? 
Posted by: Cameron 21st August 2021, 12:10 PM
Yeah
Posted by: -Jay- 21st August 2021, 12:57 PM
Body on Me for sure
Posted by: Tafty³³³ 21st August 2021, 09:43 PM
BOM *.*
Posted by: PAJ 21st August 2021, 09:51 PM
Of a big fan of that song but not sure what to send.
Posted by: -Jay- 22nd August 2021, 07:10 PM
Our entry for this round is Body on Me!
Round 4 is now open. You need to vote for 12 songs, hopefully including Rita! http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=248258
Posted by: JosephStyles 25th August 2021, 12:46 PM
Round 5 is free choice, and if we want Rita to make the top half, she's gonna need a huge push, so I think we need to go BIG. This could be our last opportunity to send a Rita song, so honestly I'm seeing no point in holding Anywhere back!
Posted by: -Jay- 25th August 2021, 12:50 PM
Results so far:
Round 1: 8th [36/60] I Will Never Let You Down (Free choice)
Round 2: 18th [21/53] The One (Album track)
Round 3: 21st (tied) [20/53] R.I.P. (Free choice - previously unsent songs)
Round 4: 20th [15/56] Body on Me (Ballads & midtempos)
Well this hasn't gone according to plan 
Round 5 is Free Choice!
What should we send? I mean if we want to go big, you can't go bigger than Anywhere! Your suggestions are welcomed!
Posted by: -Jay- 25th August 2021, 12:51 PM
Me not noticing your earlier post until after submitting my post, why do I keep doing this!
We agree
Posted by: JosephStyles 25th August 2021, 12:53 PM
!!
Posted by: Frenchie 25th August 2021, 02:28 PM
Anywhere seems like the best shot at getting as many votes as possible.
Posted by: Jαsє 25th August 2021, 06:51 PM
'Anywhere' would be a guaranteed vote from me
Posted by: PAJ 26th August 2021, 03:34 AM
Agree, Anywhere seems like the best bet.
Posted by: Tafty³³³ 26th August 2021, 11:47 PM
LETS GO. We decided to go for 'Anywhere'. Her biggest (?) hit to date
http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=248363
We're gonna go out WITH A FIGHT! If you can find space for it in your top 12, that'd be really, really appreciated!

Farewell, Rita
Posted by: -Jay- 25th September 2021, 07:23 PM
Rita Ora
16th - 0.41828841
I feel like Rita is an odd one in this contest... she has the bangers to back her up and get her far enough, but unfortunately she can never *quite* get enough love to move further. I had planned to try and be a bit more strategic/aim for the longer game, but Joseph & Jay knew she wouldn't go far anyway so wanted to see where the biggest hitters would land her. Definitely could've been worse for her, but one day, we will get her further
The absolute anthem 'I Will Never Let You Down' ended up being her biggest hit in this edition... WE STAN!(commentary by Tafty³³³)
Round 1: 8th [36/60] I Will Never Let You Down
Round 2: 18th [21/53] The One (feat. Imanbek)
Round 3: 21st [20/53] (tied) R.I.P. (feat. Tinie Tempah)
Round 4: 20th [15/56] Body On Me (feat. Chris Brown)
Round 5: 16th [27/60] Anywhere
