#3 | Missy Elliott - Work It (AVG. 7.83)
'Work' Count: 19
Highest: Chez Wombat, burbe, Sparky2, Riser, darkstar79, Dobbo (11)
Lowest: Qween,Scene (3)

Bronze medal goes to Missy! 'Work It' was released in September 2002, as the first single from her fourth album 'Under Construction'. The song was a massive hit in the US, where it peaked at #2 for an impressive ten weeks straight. Eminem's 'Lose Yourself' was responsible from denying Missy from the top spot for every one of those weeks. Boo!

Fun fact direct from Wikipedia: During the chorus, the lyric "I put my thing down, flip it, and reverse it" is simply played backwards, a part many mistakenly assumed to be gibberish. In the middle of the song, after the lyric "Listen up close while I take you backwards", the lyric "Watch the way Missy like to take it backwards" is also played in reverse. This vocal reversing trend made it to several of her productions during the following years.

If you've never seen the video before - watch it! It deservedly won "Video of the Year" at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards.

Cody your 11 definitely counted to 5H's score, it just seems Joseph forgot to list you! (UV also gave it an 11!)

Forgotten how much I like that Missy Elliot song, can't remember what I scored it, but I'm sure imma regret not giving it a higher mark :/

Work It is an absolute tune, still play it semi-regularly now.

Prefer Kelly to win now!

The perfect top 2.

Both deserve to win this and I would be thrilled with either but I gave Kelly my 11 as it is just perfection.

#2 | Ciara (Ft. Missy Elliott) - Work (AVG. 8.1)
'Work' Count: 98
Highest:mr_pmt, SamJudd (11)
Lowest: Scene (3)

Here's Missy, again! This time featuring on another huge banger from the forever underrated Ciara. She may or may not have booked that stage that Rihanna taunted her about, but she's finished a lot higher than her in the Work Rate. Work is a fast-paced electropop and dance song with elements of house and hip hop.









and your number 1 not surprisingly is....

#1 | Kelly Rowland - Work / (Freemasons remix)(AVG. 8.53)
'Work' Count: 16
Highest: gooddelta, Regina, JoeyJeppssonWall, Davidson, danielG, Cameron, Qween, Simon., AaronTM, 152chris, ♦ ketalina ♦
Lowest: Wall

Sorry Beyonce, Kelly can't hear you from up here. Stealing the rate with an incredible amount of 11s, is the second lead singer of Destiny's Child, Kelly Rowland. Whether you were voting for the original or the usually more popular Feemasons remix, Kelly wins comfortably. 'Work' wasn't without its haters though, but Mr LeeWallace's failed attempts to get The Saturdays to win are thwarted as the amount of 11s and 10s hugely outweighed that -1.

Though 8 years old Kelly Rowland is the reigning work campaign and wins the work rate. G'wan Kelly!

I was hoping Ciara would get it, but I can't really begrudge that winner.

The remix completely SAVES that song (just like the Freemasons did with 'Beautiful Liar' & 'Green Light'), but it's still ridiculously overrated. sad.gif CiCi should have got it! Wish I'd given her my 11 now, but I really wanted to help Amerie out </3

The order of these results definitely isn't in line with my personal tastes, oops. Nevertheless there's nothing I dislike here. Female artists certainly know how to WORK. *.*
