Good evening Buzzjack!!
I am delighted to announce that nearly all the AF mods have #ComeTogether to bring you the Artist Forum Song Contest! Our first contest is happening very soon and the best part of it is YOU get to decide what each forum's entry will be! The mods of each participating AF will be holding national finals in each of their forums over the next month before we all meet up in the Girls Aloud forum for the grand final! We've also decided to select a theme for the contest and that theme is... Should've been a single!
I'll keep this thread updated with which forums are currently holding their national finals but in the mean time, here is a list of the AFs currently confirmed to be taking part!
Beyoncé Britney Spears Girls Aloud Justin Timberlake Katy Perry Kylie & Dannii Minogue Lady Gaga Leona Lewis Little Mix Madonna Miley Cyrus MKS & Sugababes One Direction Pink Rihanna Robbie Williams The Saturdays Will Young
The other AFs have had invitations to participate, and they are still free to do so!
It's all going to be very exciting and we hope that we can get as many of you to take part not only in the grand final, but visiting each AF to help in selecting their entry!
In case anyone missed it! General thread for discussion of what's happening.
Our national final will be coming in due course, keep an eye out! But for now, chat about what song you'd like picked for our theme: SHOULD'VE BEEN A SINGLE

I know already y'all gonna pick Walking On Air but please guys, don't forget about the pop masterpiece that is Hummingbird Heartbeat
Good shout with OOTB too, Uv! That album has some really strong album tracks but that is my favourite from it, for sure.
Posted by: HarryEzra 23rd August 2016, 03:46 PM
Im going to give Circle The Drain a shout

I adore 'Hummingbird Heartbeat', but wasn't that an Australian single?
Posted by: JosephSpears 23rd August 2016, 03:50 PM
I think it was a radio single or something in Australia, I'd be tempted to let it slide in here! (unlike 1D's More Than This which got a CD single over there)
Posted by: AdamAloud 23rd August 2016, 03:53 PM
Oh Australia can f*** off! Always ruining everything.

LEGENDARY LOVERS
Easily her best album track by miles. My favorite song by her, honestly.
Posted by: Joe. 23rd August 2016, 04:34 PM
Hummingbird Heartbeat for me!

Hummingbird Heartbeat is being allowed in this case anyway (although we're gonna hold back on our national final for a little bit)!

Yeah you can throw it out and replace it with 'Self Inflicted' (although that was my BJSC entry, so I dunno if we'd be alloweddddd)

Circle The Drain, Self Inflicted, Pearl.
I feel there's another great album track on OOTB but I can't for the life of me remember its name.

Nope. I found it:
It seems pretty much forgotten by most (including myself) but listening to it again I want to give it my nomination also.

WAILF is legit one of my least favourite Katy songs. I really don't see any appeal in it whatsoever! Let alone it being a single..

Hang on. YES
"If You Can Afford Me" to win the entire thing <3
Posted by: liamk97 25th August 2016, 12:14 AM
I'll have to have a serious think as to what I think would make a great single and what is just one of my favourites on an album, but I'm definitely liking the sound of 'Walking On Air' and 'One of the Boys' being the leaders (I didn't realise the latter was so adored!).
QUOTE(Scene @ Aug 24 2016, 03:51 PM)

Oh no I absolutely adore this too! This and 'Lost' are among Katy's most emotional songs; I'm a wreck when I get to this end of the album!
QUOTE(Jonjo @ Aug 24 2016, 04:24 PM)

High five! One of her best ever.

You're so right! It's got that really epic sound with the elongated vocals, it just has a bit more melody to it to give it that extra oomph.
Posted by: Cody Raisman 25th August 2016, 12:21 AM
I don't know what we're gonna do if it's not "Walking On Air" or "Legendary Lovers" (or to a lesser extent "One Of The Boys"/"Dressing Up"/"Pearl")
Posted by: Jonjo 25th August 2016, 01:35 AM
I can't believe there are serious appeals for 'Dressin' Up'! That's about as much of a good single choice as 'Part Of Me' was... i.e. it shouldn't have happened!

I should actually give 'Lost' a listen, I can't remember how it goes. Thinking of You is my favourite from OOTB - shame it didn't have as much success as IKAG and HNC.
I just gave WOA a listen and I don't get the hype. It sounds like an early 90s record that hasn't dated well. But then I prefer the Pop/Rock Katy.

DID NOT KNOW ANYONE ELSE LOVED WHO AM I LIVING FOR? Jade / Zach where have you BEEN when i've been fighting this song's corner all these years :'(
As for biggest missed single opportunity it has to be 'Walking On Air' (or failing that 'Hummingbird Heartbeat')

So the votes are in and have been counted and verified......
Peacock [ 1 ] ** [3.85%] Self Inflicted [ 1 ] ** [3.85%] By the Grace of God [ 1 ] ** [3.85%] Legendary Lovers [ 2 ] ** [7.69%] Circle the Drain [ 2 ] ** [7.69%] If You Can Afford Me [ 3 ] ** [11.54%] One of the Boys [ 3 ] ** [11.54%]
