When voting, take into account a number of things if possible! What you like the best, and what you feel you'd most likely vote for - both very important factors, of course! Also try and think of it in terms of what you believe the best choice for the forum could be. No sabotage please Melanie C.png

If you don't know all the songs... have a listen if you can! heart.gif

'On The Horizon' is my favourite, but I think 'Loving You' would be the best option of the 3!

If OTH gets a chance though *.*

Loving you Melanie C.png but I saw some comments it's so dull. I feel old liking this song and the song is not even that old. Mel B.png

I'd love for them to all have one laugh.gif

I'm going to listen to all 3 songs imminently. Obviously I'm very familiar with all 3, but maybe I need a fresh listen.

I genuinely cannot choose.

Loving you is my favourite.
On the horizon feels like the most upbeat and instant for a listen.
Headlines is the Spice Girls track so may get more than a solo one.

Taking the rates into account:

Spice Rate 2019:
6.648 - 39. On the Horizon MELANIE C
6.727 - 38. Headlines (Friendship Never Ends) SPICE GIRLS
7.690 - 21. Loving You MELANIE C

Solo Rate (obviously doesn't include Headlines):
13. Melanie C (Ft Matt Cardle) = 7.518
26. Melanie C - On The Horizon = 6.574


On the Horizon would be a bit of a curve ball considering it often doesn't fare too well in rates. Loving You does decently, on paper it seems like the song that would be generally most liked.

Those averages aren't even close enough to make you think "maybe we'll risk the other"... laugh.gif

Just send LY laugh.gif It's a recent-ish chart hit. So may get more casual interest than OTH. And Headlines is widely regarded as an awful comeback for one of the most successful groups of all time, so I don't think it'll resonate well at all and I think it'd be a similar fate to Katy going with a 'Witness' track last round... people will immediately dismiss it.

You're probably right heehee.gif I suppose nothing is guaranteed at this point, even those voting Headlines or On the Horizon might not go for them when confronted with what Rihanna, Madonna and Gaga are sending. It would be nice to feel like we're somewhat in contention in the next round and not be a distant last, if we're going to be last!

If we do go with Loving You, hopefully it could surprise in the same way that it surprised most people when it became a Top 20 hit in 2013!

I’m a massive Matt Cardle fan and think that Loving You would easily rank first for me if it was chosen.

I love "Loving You"! I've not checked what the Madonna options are, but I'd rank it higher than what Rihanna and Gaga are likely to send personally

This might be the first time Im not keen on any of the entries from this sub forum...

Voted for Headlines because it is the best out of a terrible list of songs.

I only know 'Loving You' (I like it and remember it well but it wouldn't make my vote) so I can't comment, but omg if Melanie C gets her fourth solo entry while none of the others have had any :')

Great to see loving you gone through and I've voted for it, hopefully it gets the votes needed to go through now.
