Please try and vote for Pink guys. She’s only got my vote so far.
I feel like this is the end |

There are many great songs on offer in the round and I hope Pink will make my final 5.
I am listening to a few songs before submitting my votes. |

but sending Beautiful Drama was a good call, no one was even gonna bother listening if you had sent a random deluxe track even if good |

I was undecided between Madonna, Pink and Katy Perry, unfortunately Katy Perry lost out.

Yeah, I’ve put my thoughts into that thread. At least it was a round with a crap theme so we can blame that.

We were always going to struggle in that round. I reckon we should've sent in Hooker and gone out with that 🤭

Pink progressed from her previous result which is positive.

You’re probably right I do think we’d have had a chance if they’d kept it a level playing field and not changed the rules to include singles. The original theme included singles, i.e. bonus tracks that became singles, singles that were eventually bonus tracks, or non-hit remix versions of singles! The only element that was originally not included was 'remixes that are the hit single version', and personally I didn't understand that being a distinction when other kinds of singles were allowed. So letting that kind of single into it was actually to make it more of a level playing field than it was. The option was there to omit singles altogether. Essentially it was an "all or nothing" choice, and Inner Circle decided unanimously to go with "include all the different kinds of singles". So the theme essentially became... don't send a "normal" single or album track. |

I don’t think Pink had any better options tbh, which is a big shame but at the very least you managed to send (and slay with) Who Knew last round

Too bad, I agree the theme was crap and should have been more limited, either B-sides/deluxe tracks or remixes but not both, and definitely not singles
but overall the themes are very messy almost each round |

Essentially it was an "all or nothing" choice, and Inner Circle decided unanimously to go with "include all the different kinds of singles". So the theme essentially became... don't send a "normal" single or album track. I had caught wind of this theme through an accidental spoiler but it just said 'a remix', so I had it in mind as being remixes regardless of single status, but nothing about bonus tracks or b-sides. I was thinking, say, Melanie C's 'I Turn To You' and Kelly Rowland's 'Work' would be likely for it, but many/most artists would probably have to pick from their hits' remix EPs and see if they have any standouts or how well they can maintain the appeal of the original tracks. Personally I did feel this theme turned out a bit messy by lumping together the distinct concepts of remixes and bonus tracks, and counting re-release singles as bonus tracks (as opposed to just deluxe-only tracks/Japanese bonus tracks/etc which is what I'd normally think of by 'bonus tracks') - I think remixes alone would've been a more interesting, if more difficult, prospect. But that said, I feel like the whole game is a test of whose discography is well-rounded enough to pass through various challenges, as opposed to a straight-up 'send the hits' contest, and to me that's one of the most fun parts. It's a shame P!nk hit such a roadblock but she wasn't the first (see Calvin and Zara) and probably won't be the last. I think she did particularly well considering that she doesn't do many remixes (of relevance), features, promo singles etc and doesn't really have the fanbase on here to have well-known non-singles. |

I'm pleased she managed to get this far. Its a shame we didn't get the chance to send JLAP or So what in further rounds but thats ok.
Maybe after the singles rate, we'll have a B-side rate Also, for the next round, collaborations, we would've probably sent Just give me a reason. The competition is so tough now, a lot of big artists with some big hits left to send. Good luck to all AFs left |

Yeah Just Give Me A Reason is an obvious one although it does have its haters.
Knowing this place, she might have been better off with Lady Marmalade... |

There was just something about Revenge with me, it felt very old skool and we need more of that.
