AF Idol is back! For those who are unfamiliar with the game or need to refresh your memory, check out the synopsis and rules http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=233612.
ROUND 1: FREE CHOICE
> Any song by your artist. <
Round 1 is a TRIPLE elimination and we have until 23:59 on 3rd May to send our choice!
What should we send first?
Btw, the artist forum moderators are aware of what future rounds are so we get the final decision, so some songs that are raised here might be saved for future rounds.
We don't want to send any of the big ones just yet, but still needs to be a popular song to compete with the other forums.
I Begin To Wonder please
Do we all post a song we think should represent Kylie.
For now, we don't select the big hits, that comes at a later stage ?
For this round, we can choose any Kylie (or Dannii) song. It has to be something popular to compete with other forums, but we don't want to use anything we'll need for later stages when the competition gets more intense.
Some other rounds will have more specific themes.
All the Lovers.
My choices would be -
Kylie -
Please Stay
Get Outta My Way
Dannii -
Don’t Wanna Lose This Feeling
Although tbh - I think if we are going to put a Dannii song forward it should be early on as she could be a risk layer
If a Dannii song goes forward I would recommend I Begin To Wonder?
Some of the original choices and outcomes from the original AF Idol - http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=222123&hl=idol
If its mid table songs for now despite me not a huge fan it does seem popular to others so Get outta my way.
Was just reading the updated rules on this - great that the polls have been done away with after the issues and drama last time
Red Blooded Woman or I Believe In You.
I can reveal that there are 16 rounds in all, a lot of them themed, and I've worked out roughly what could be sent for each round. It seems like we could get away with sending something quite popular straight away... I'm thinking 'Confide in Me', 'Spinning Around', 'In My Arms'...
While my own opinion of confide in me is well known it could be the song for this
Out of those 3 I’d go with CIM. Not a huge fan of Spinning Around but guess it’s popular and well known to most people?
Spinning Around and Get Outta My Way sound like great first choices!
On a Night Like This or In Your Eyes...
Some great choices so far - I guess it’s hard to know how strong we can go with the first song as they might be needed for some of the other category’s later.
Love At First Sight
This Is It
I love this is it myself but im not sure if it would do well if we want to stay in.
With these free choice rounds, it needs to be something people will immediately recognise and I think only 'Who Do You Love Now' and 'I Begin to Wonder' would. Maybe we can consider Dannii for some of the more specific rounds.
"On A Night Like This", "In Your Eyes" and "Red Blooded Woman" seem to be good choices in my opinion.
I'm pleased to see some 'Red Blooded Woman' fans here! I'm not sure if it would compete as well with the other AFs though.
'On a Night Like This' is too popular to send just now, I think, and 'Get Outta My Way' will be perfect in a certain round in the future...
'Spinning Around', 'Confide in Me', 'In Your Eyes' - any more opinions on these ones?
I prefer in your eyes but think confide in me might do better.
I was quite set with 'Confide in Me' but I think 'In Your Eyes' will be a good shout!
How are we going to make a final decision on the selected song to go forward?
I ultimately decide and will be sending the song through very shortly.
Tough call to decide, cant wait to see which song it is now.
I’d say In Your Eyes too
Song choice reveal and voting at 7pm today
Round 1 is LIVE: http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=233734
Choose 13 songs (including Kylie, obvs!) and post in the comments of the thread!
You have until Wednesday 6th May 23:59 (BST)!
I have submitted my 13 songs.
We all need to cast votes to keep Kylie in.
Off to vote now
Kylie is on a good few of the submissions from participants who already submitted.
It is a positive start.
Just finished voting now.
Voted
Voted She seems to be doing well - great first song choice
She has started strongly.
How many members usually cast their votes in the competition?
Usually a lot of people get involved as all the AF’s are voting.
We just need to make sure everyone on the Kylie forum is adding their votes!
If there is a high number of voters it's crucial all the Kylie fans get behind her and cast their vote for Kylie.
33 out of the 48 voters so far have voted for kylie, myself included.
At what point do we select another song or is it all based on how far in your eyes makes it?
Voting ends tomorrow night and we'll find out the scores, then the next round will be announced and we'll discuss the next choice in here.
The voting deadline is midnight tonight so cast your Kylie vote if you haven’t already done so - http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=233734
I think it's looking very good for kylie to progress.
Yep looking really good so far - we done well in the first AF so hopefully this one Kylie will be equally as successful
We got through! The next round...
ROUND 02 A song that started an era
> The first single of an era. <
Any thoughts?
Love the topic! So many classics to potentially chose from.
Good few to choose from but NOT 2 Hearts.
What would people think of 'Spinning Around'? Not in terms of personal preference necessarily, but as what would safely see us through Round 2.
Ya I think spinning around could be a good one.
My other choice would be 'Can't Get You Out of My Head', depending on if other AFs are sending really big singles. I think that would safely see us through as it's obviously the most recognised with casual fans and it leaves us with even more universally loved tracks for later.
If we can go with CGYOOMH already then I’d definitely chose that over SA
Cant get you out of my head should easily secure getting through again, but is is better for a later round, better the devil you know or all the lovers are popular aswell.
Devil and All the Lovers will definitely be best saved for later I think!
How about Dancing? What is the general opinion on that?
CGYOMH can def be saved for a bit later, I don't think it's as polarising as the stronger opinions make it out. It'll get A LOT of casuals, won't it?
Dancing! But Spinning Around is a great choice too, if you're not saving it for later!
'Dancing' is certainly popular with Kylie fans but I'm not confident enough on what other people think of it. It might not be big enough to compare with what other forums are discussing.
As much as i love dancing i dont think its as well known as other songs to people who arenet kylie fans.
I actually think you might be surprised, but I understand the pressures so I get why you may not wanna go for it aha.
I think Dancing would be a brill choice
Glad to hear there's some 'Dancing' fans! Knowing what rounds are to come, 'Spinning Around' and 'Head' weren't in my plans for any of the future choices so they may as well be used now and I would have thought be much more comfortable choices than 'Dancing'.
Other AFs seem to be suggesting big choices, I'm not confident about how 'Dancing' will compete.
I speak as a fan of Dancing.
It may not have the same voting appeal as some of her better known and commercially more successful hits.
Send devil
Just reflecting on the rough plan I have for future rounds, if we were to save 'Head' for later, do we think 'Spinning Around' would be safe? Or 'Slow' even?
Going to be sending our choice through soon!
It's a hard call as both are popular in different ways, I'd like to think both are popular enough to go through.
I think 'Spinning Around' will probably be more popular with general audiences, especially with the impact her comeback and the video had. I'll send that one then?
Fingers crossed it works, all of us here need to make sure we vote for kylie.
http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=233901
Round 2 is open! Select your favourite 12 and post!
Just voted now.
Voted! Kylie seems to be doing OK at the moment
Quick count looks like Kylie is on 41 votes - deadline to vote is 11.59pm tonight if you haven’t voted for Queen Kylie yet!
Its looking good.
I almost forgot to vote but I have now submitted my votes which include Kylie.
Hopefully spinning around makes it through and we will see the next theme for selecting a song.
Should Kylie make the progression to the next round, will the theme of the next round be announced tomorrow?
ROUND 03 - A song without an official music video
> Exactly what it says on the tin - a song without an official music video. Lyric videos or official audio uploads are allowed! <
Some potential single choices:
Turn It Into Love
Put Your Hands Up (If You Feel Love)
A Lifetime to Repair
Alternatively, we could go for a popular album track? I know there's a couple of Kylie fans that don't like it, but perhaps 'Lost Without You' could be used?
OMG what a potentially horrible round
Turn It Into Love from the options listed.
I would be against Lost Without You.
If not 'Lost Without You', what other album track choices would be good? 'Disco Down', 'Butterfly', 'Fever', 'Love Affair', 'Like a Drug', 'Aphrodite', 'Cupid Boy'?
'Lost Without You' omg. That's a great choice and it would be amazing for loads of non-Kylie fans to discover it. My personal favourite album track is 'Fragile' though
Does she not have any singles that didn't get music videos? Damn her organisation skills and good management!
Fragile is superb.
Fever is a popular track?
'Cupid Boy'
The recency aspect is very relevant.
Turn It Into Love is an oldie.
Put Your Hands up has appeal.
Could Closer be a consideration ?
I think put your hands up is a great song and might get through.
It would be a great time for Your Disco Needs You or The One not to have those below average videos.
I dont mind the video for the One but agree about your disco needs you so ya it would be great if it waited videoless so we could use the song for this. What would you think of using Like a Drug for the next round?
Yes you were slow on that one Pippa
Would anyone else be in support of Like a Drug?
Out of not great choice’s I’d probably go with ‘Lost Without You’ I love some other songs but TIIL is probably too old, I guess LAD could work - I think all are risks though tbh but like has been said hopefully the Kylie fans will vote regardless of what gets selected
Its a tough round for all that go through as many songs from the various artists will be unknown so everyone will have to take time to listen to all the songs properly before voting.
I sense Lost Without You will be submitted.
Remember to contribute to Robbie & Take That AF Idol discussions, Pippa!
Oh and I'm 100% here for Lost Without You being sent
With it a recent song it will hopefully get through.
Any comments from anyone else?
Not long to go to submission time.
I sent our choice earlier.
The upcoming round may possibly be a very hard round.
Round 3 is open! Support Kylie and 10 other artists here: http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=234051
Obviously am voting for kylie but I have a good few songs to look up before I vote.
I'm excited to see who discovers and loves Lost Without You. It's already been praised by Andrew.! *.*
Fantastic choice
Yeah I noticed that too! Listening through the playlist it genuinely does seem like a song people who wouldn't usually listen to Kylie would love.
Great choice , listening to this song only for the second time in my life and it is lush
I've played the song a few more times than usual lately as its been discussed alot here, I'm not feeling the big love for it that others do but maybe I will in time. I was like this with put yourself in my place for a long time and love it now.
Just put through my votes and everyone needs to get voting, from 34 votes so far Kylie is only selected by 16 posters and 18 have not selected her.
Going to stream the playlist now (Love those extra streaming sales Kylie will get this week ) and then cast my vote!
Just make sure 'Lost Without You' is in your selection!
I will be submitting my votes today.
I will be sure to include Kylie.
Really hope kylie can get through to the next round.
Hopefully she can so everyone who hasnt voted needs to get voting.
I cast my votes earlier with the inclusion of Kylie.
Not doing well so far!
It was always going to be a tough round.
I can understand why people would choose not to vote for Lost Without You.
Despite that I think it is a very average song, I do not want to see Kylie eliminated.
Why would you vote for a song you actively dislike though? I don't get it.
I always vote kylie where I can out of loyalty, I see it no different to supporting a football on a bad season. In this case I genuinely think kylie is one of the better songs in there but I have often voted for confide in me out of loyalty despite not been a fan of the song
I feel like this isn’t the point of the competition though, if people are going to vote for an artist’s worst songs just because they want to see them through to the next round it does sort of remove the point of choosing the right songs for certain rounds.
People will always stand by their fave artists though.
Ya I'd say the same, sometimes I vote for confide in me despite not really liking it but can often prefer it to other songs that might be part of the competition.
I have expressed as a Kylie song it is not her strongest.
From the songs Kylie is in competition with,Lost Without You would be in the top 5 of best songs on offer.
Fan loyalty voting is happening with most whether people admit it or not.
That said, my votes in all the rounds to date have been allocated to what I truthfully think are the best songs.
I find it incredibly hard to believe that fans of artists in other forums are not voting for their own artist.
There is no way of knowing but, I would again reiterate, Lost Without You is definitely one of the stronger songs on offer in this round we are currently voting in.
That may be down to familiarity as some of the others songs are new songs to me and many songs require multiple listens before becoming a fan of the song.
Been familiar with a song makes it easier in rounds like this.Some songs are not instant so some good songs will lose out in a round like this.
That is natural which is the risk with this round.
Not everyone will listen to all new songs at least 10 times before casting their votes.
There have been songs in the past that have taken months to grow on me.
I don’t understand why we would ever believe that fans who contribute mostly to their favourites AF forums on here would not vote for them? A quick scroll through the AF forums show multiple others doing the same.
‘Lost Without You’ is not my favourite Kylie song or even close but I streamed the songs from the playlist that I didn’t already know and it would still be in my Top 11 songs that I have voted for in this round due to some of the songs sent through being not something that I would ever listen to again or want to.
AF Idol is always going to be a challenge - last year Little Mix we’re accused of setting up multiple accounts to vote for them and now people are questioning others blindly voting for their favourites which as I said earlier most AF forums are doing, but with such a wide choice of songs and some questionable songs in this round LWY was and is a Top 11 for me.
Also I think it’s really unfair to single people out and flame them in the voting by posting things like ‘Not bad for a song you hate’?! As I said for me personally LWY is not a favourite but stands up against some of what’s been sent through so in this instance it’s easily a Top 11 song out of the choices available - had other songs been sent then maybe it would have been a different outcome.
Is that how we play the game from now on?! Search all the AF forums and if anyone posts anything remotely negative about the song we call them out on it in the voting thread?!
That’s all fair enough as far as I’m concerned at least, I was just concerned that people here were initially saying they would vote for songs they dislike because of ‘loyalty’. If people are voting for the song because they genuinely do prefer it to all the songs they aren’t voting for after listening to them then I don’t think that’s a problem at all.
I think we can all agree that Lost Without You
This type of game will only work if the chart forum users post and vote. However when you have rounds where the casuals users on this site won’t know the songs , I assume the number of votes will be lower.
Interesting to see what 11 will go through.
Let’s be honest if we put “I was gonna cancel” though I would be questioning our tastes 😂 and I certainly wouldn’t support Kylie out of loyalty for that choice.
I would have struggled with I was gona cancel but we all know it's not a great song and we wouldnt have put it through.
I don't ever see a situation arising to select I Was Gona Cancel for any competitions apart from a round that would require sending a song for worst single released by the artist of the forum.
The hate for IWGC I loved it then and I still do now.
I think no matter how much anyone hates or dislikes a particular song it will be loved by someone else and vice versa.
Four hours left to vote if you haven't already!
http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=234051
Kylie ranked at.... #1 for me this round!
Is it just 1 artist gets eliminated tonight?
Through to the next round!
ROUND 4: FREE CHOICE
> Any song by your artist. <
Yes - pleased we’re through
What a great round coming up - assuming we’re going to see some of the AF’s send through their bangers and biggest hits?!
The competition is getting really tough already! Definitely need to send something big this time.
Thank god we went through and now we can the biggies, better the devim you know, can't get you out of head and all the lovers spring to mind.
I initially thought of saving 'Devil' until later but I think it would be better to use older big hits now. What do people think of this choice?
Wonderful that Kylie made it through.
Better The Devil You Know I would happily support if you feel it is the right choice.
Devil is always popular and i dont think i have ever seen anyone here say they dont like it.
Its def a classic and so well known even outside the fans.
I would be shocked if Better The Devil You Know didn't qualify should it make submission.
This round allows for great selections and we have so many amazing songs we could send through.
As Holiday proved, the older hits still have life and love left in them so Devil would be a great choice too!
Hits as iconic as Holiday and Better the Devil You Know will forever resonate with music lovers.
Better the Devil You Know would be a great choice!
Everyone so far seems happy to go with better the devil you know.
Great stuff! If everyone's happy I'll get 'Devil' sent through in a bit.
All the forums will be trying to send through really strong songs in this round which will make it tough but also hard as I'm expecting to know and like many of the songs that will be sent through.
It may be a highly competitive round but Better the Devil You Know is pure brilliance, and should attract votes easily.
Round 4 is open! http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=234201
Vote for your favourite 10 songs. You have until MONDAY, 18th MAY 2020 at 17:59 (BST)
Submitted my votes early as it was a clear 10 songs that stood above the other participants.
Voted - brutal round with so many bops
Il vote tomorrow,I have 8 picked and I have to pick 2 from 4.
Kylie seems to be doing okish but with so many bops entered this round it’s a tough one so like I said earlier even if we do go out it will be with a pure Minogue classic.
I'm voting soon and ur right if kylue goes out it will out with a banging classic.
Put through my votes now, hard to call its looking like 20 have voted kylie and 25 havnt but it depends on the spread of the other votes, id love her to stay in.
Hopefully more will vote for Better The Devil You Know in the incoming votes.
24 hours left!
From the latest 10 voters 3 have voted kylie and 7 havnt so that 23 yes's against 32 that havnt. Will be very close
I expected more consistent votes for Better The Devil You Know.
Voting closes in a few hours at 17.59 - place your votes for your fave songs if you haven’t done so yet
After the wonderful forum chart result I hope we can top that news off with Better The Devil You Know qualifying.
Under one hour left! Vote Kylie!
will we know the result tonight if kylie is through to the next round?
She's through! There's currently a tie break round between Harry Styles and Robbie Williams, then the next round will be announced tomorrow.
Was half expecting us to be out due to the spread of votes and competition
Just voted - the pure drama of the AFs and some of where the votes originate from
Woohoo at been through.
Now we have to decide on what the next song will be once we know the theme.
ROUND 5: Worst single
> For artist forums that are dedicated to one artist: The single MUST have finished bottom 3 in the artists rate (if there's an ultimate rate - skip past the non-singles) and if you're lucky enough to have a bottom 3 over the average of 5, then kudos - that's fair play.
For group AF's you have a choice: The single MUST have finished bottom 3 for the main artist of the AF OR the solo single must have an average that is 4.99 or lower.
Main Artists are:
- Beyoncé
- Girls Aloud
- Kylie Minogue
- One Direction
- Robbie Williams/Take That
- Spice Girls
We really want to embrace the theme as fairly as possible across the board. <
In the 2018 singles rate, these songs finished bottom three out of Kylie's own singles:
All I See
Celebration
I Was Gonna Cancel
Any thoughts?
So basically each forum has to put forward what they think is the artists worst single, is that correct? If im right i go with celebration as i actually like the song, all i see isnt bad either but its more a fairly ok album track, i was gonna cancel is a terrible single choice but as a song on an album it wouldnt be as bad and it is better than a few tracks on kiss me once.
No you still have to put through the best, just we're limited to what's considered her worst three according to rates.
Id be celebration from those 3.
Just gonna drop this here... 'Kids' finished bottom three out of 00s/10s singles rate.
http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=157201&view=findpost&p=4428320
I don't think it'll be allowed though. :')
What a strange theme !
I like kids and some robbie fans might include it aswell.
It's a really strange theme for this round.
Celebration or Kids - I’d actually go for Kids
Anything but I Was Gonna Cancel.
Is Kids eligible ?
This can’t be in worst 5 songs !!!
Kylie can send Kids, it was a joint credit so you guys have as much right to it as Robbie & TT! If it was bottom 3 it should be in your consideration I'd say.
I can’t believe you all hate it !! I am considering leaving this forum lol!
Kids will sail through !!
Id be happy with kids
I've now been told 'Kids' is ineligible because it has to be a rate of all her singles, not separated into decades.
So 'All I See', 'Celebration' and 'I Was Gonna Cancel' are our options.
'Kids' is a great song!
Omg send I Was Gonna Cancel
I dont think i was gona cancel would work at all, it gets a lot of hate and i think more than most of her other less liked songs.
'All I See' is a great song, how was that so low! (Granted, it's the MIMS-featuring version I've always known, but I presume the original is the same minus him.)
I know 'I Was Gonna Cancel' is, like, poison ivy among her fans, but I always really liked it. It was my favourite single / song I heard from that album.
Refreshing myself on 'Celebration' and... yeah I'd agree with the person above who referred to it as a cheap and quick cover.
maybe non kylie fans would enjoy i was gona cancel more than the fans do.
I Was Gonna Cancel would be the worst choice.
Well I can’t see us passing this round guys haha
Hopefully kylie can go through again in this round when it gets up and going
We should know the Kylie choice later today in addition to the others put forward.
Round 5 is open! Support Kylie and eight other songs here:
http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=234374
Streaming the playlist now - some forums have very strong songs as there worst and there are some absolutely tragic entries there too Should be an interesting round
I can easily support this choice
Hapoy it's all I see that's in, god there are a few stinkers in that list although I love girls aloud cover of I think were alone now.
If it’s was I was gonna cancel I think I would have struggled to vote for it
Voted There were some particular horrors on there - Poor Rihanna having to send that song I knew most of the songs already but have them all a listen twice (Although there were 3 songs I couldn’t manage a 2nd listen too )
I've a couple more songs to listen to again as I have 5 picked and its really a case of picking what's least pleasant for the others.all I see is one of the good songs in it and I think if I was gonna cancel was put in it would have got a vote from me based on what it would be up against.
All I See, it is a relief to see this going through ahead of I Was Gonna Cancel.
I have some more songs to listen to before I cast my votes.
I feel as though people get particularly salty about Kylie in the AF vote The only AF accused of blindly voting and now questioning the entry of AIS
From personnel experience I agree.
I was singled out for my Lost Without You vote which I found to be unfair.
My previous comments on Lost Without You were comparative to the material offered elsewhere on Golden.
What I classify as a weak Kylie song can in some examples trump what is classed as a great song from another artist.
It was because another AF got a song denied and there was a bit of confusion as to why that was. All sorted now!
Good, it may kill off the salty vibe.
I submitted my votes a short time ago.
Easy to include a Kylie vote.
All I See is sounding very appealing in the mixture of the songs listed.
Also good to see Kylie pulling in a decent number of votes and a few comments from people saying it’s the first time they heard it and they like it, it’s doing better than I thought it would considering I think it’s an awful song
Ya it's doing well,,I dont think it's all that bad at all
Yeah me neither, always liked it and never understood the hate
I like it as an album track but glad it wasnt picked for a uk single.
It's an opportunity for people to discover the song that have previously never heard.
It is showing appeal in the voting.
Ya its good for that, when listening to the songs I enjoyed lady gaga live game a bit more than I thought I did, all I see usnt a sing I listen to alot so this helped me listen to it again.
We're through to next round!
Amazing that we are through
Also there can be no other choice apart from ‘Your Disco Needs You’ - we have some good tracks to chose from but YDNY needs its time to shine as the iconic Kylie track that it is!
Great that kylie is through again, your disco needs you is prob the best to go with but i do love flower, flower is prob not as well liked by othes as much as i love it
How great to once again go through.
Your Disco Needs You from the provided choices looks likely to help again qualify.
Put Your Hands Up is my personal favourite there and it feels like the most "classic Kylie" of them all - but Your Disco Needs You has its following. Personally I'm not that huge on it though - I wonder how big it would be among the casual voters of Buzzjack?
Right Here, Right Now is my personal favourite! Followed by Put Your Hands Up.
Your Disco Needs You... well, evidently it's a very popular song in the fan base. I'll be interested to see what non-Kylie fans (or very casual Kylie fans) make of it. It is a full on attack of camp pop. Speaking as a big Kylie fan here, but I have to admit it's never been a huge favourite of mine, even though it mildly grew on me thanks to Step Back in Time. Proceed with caution x
Put Your Hands Up is great, ive always been a big fan of it
I think YDNY can stand up against some of the horrors that will be in this round from other AFs - also it’s a big out and out there camp pop stomper.
its an easy song to remember, it does stay in your head as soon as you hear it
I guess some people might not be here for the sound of 'Your Disco Needs You', but surely not enough people for it not to qualify? 'Put Your Hands Up' is great too and would probably see us through, but it just seems odd not to go for a song that is hailed as one of her best. I'm willing to hear what other people think though!
Despite being a huge Kylie fan I'm not really much of a fan of Your Disco Needs You, although it has grown on me a bit after seeing it at Pride last year, however it is a potential non-voter for me depending on the other tracks.
Flower on the other hand would be a sure fire vote it's one of my ultimate favourite Kylie tracks
id love flower to go and qualify but im not sure it would
Flower is stunning.
I love as i said but worry it may go unnoticed
Your Disco Needs You could be a good selection.
This, Put Your Hands Up and flower are the best 3 from the options provided.
If it was white diamond would it be the slow or fast version
I don't see White Diamond (either version)attracting the votes that would be required to progress.
Your Disco Needs You...no brainer!!!
From the poll result, I think we know our entry earlier on this occasion.
If we do go with YDNY it will be the right choice especially as people outside of the regular Kylie AF posters have voted also.
Poor PYHU though - 0 votes out of 21 so far It’s a good song but no match
Well I think the decision has been made but I may just keep the poll open longer just to see how long that landslide can keep up!
Put Your Hands Up has got vote 1 versus 22.
New round is live: http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=234496
Some epic songs this round (and some horrors too ) - will give them all a listen before voting though.
Come on ‘Your Disco Needs You’
Much stronger songs on offer by a few of the artists this time around.
Unfortunately I couldn't put Your Disco Needs You in my Top 9 (it was 12th out of 17 for me), the first time I didn't vote for Kylie.
It does get tougher now but luckily I love your disco needs you so will be including it.
I will be including Kylie, Your Disco Needs You is camp and uplifting.
I will be submitting my votes shortly.
Must do my votes later.
Your Disco Needs You... needs you!
http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=234496
just posted my votes, and had a look through it looks like 21 have included kylie and 32 havnt
A few extra votes from incoming voters is needed.
I have only remembered it is a double elimination in this round.
Ya with the double its gona be touch and go I think.
We got through!
ROUND 7: A ballad album track
Pretty self explanatory, but just to be clear: no singles! It must be a ballad song included on an album. It's time for us to get emotional with this theme!
Some choices:
Bittersweet Goodbye
Dreams
Fragile
Loving Days
Sleeping with the Enemy
My favourite is 'Sleeping with the Enemy' but I feel 'Fragile' could be a good choice - it's getting good scores in the rate and it's from her most popular album.
'Dreams' and 'Sleeping with the Enemy' both stunning options.
But what about the ballad version of 'I Believe In You' from Abbey Road Sessions? Or does that count as version of a single? It's been on adverts, which could help with recognition.
'Dreams' is another good one!
I was wondering about songs on The Abbey Road Sessions but I don't think they would count. I don't think any of them would see us through.
Ballads can be mid-tempo too!
There are so many options for this one. I also rate 'Loving Days' but it's quite left-field I guess.
Also 'If You Don't Love Me' has some pretty impressive, raw vocals from Kylie.
Phew we got through,fragile or bittersweet goodbye easily for me.
Send anything that will offend anybodys ears! It seems to be getting yous through at the moment x
I keep forgetting this has to be an album track and am thinking of singles.
Fragile would be my top choice, stunning song
There are some great choices as I love these kylie ballads.
It’s Amazing !! 💖
Fragile would be very suitable.
Going off comments here and other factors, I'm going to confirm our choice very soon!
Either way I should like the choice.
I love all of Kylie’s ballads - my #1 fave is ‘If You Don’t Love Me’ but not sure what everyone would make of that, looking forward to seeing what our entry is
New round is live: http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=234634
I hope some people make a great discovery out of this one. I honestly feel like I'll feel personally offended if anyone says it's a bad song
It’s a nice song. Listening to it for the second time. It’s not a ballad lol
Great choice - I hardly know any of the songs this round so don’t know what the competition is like yet.
A fantastic choice.
Stunning under recognised ballad from Kylie.
I actually can't at someone describing this as 'horrible'... i-
Fragile is an absolutly stunning ballad.
Voted Good to see people discovering ‘Fragile’ for the first time too.
I've loved it from day one
I have submitted my votes with the inclusion of Fragile.
From scanning through ans hopefully i have it right 27 have voted yes for kylie and 27 voting not including her so hopefully fragile makes it through.
Fragile deserves qualification.
I hope a few people have only discovered it and liked it.
We're through!
ROUND 08: A song that closed an era
> The final single of an era.
Confirming our definition of what makes a single: A single is a song that is fully pushed and promoted as a single from the album. NO "radio only singles". <
I'll have to check if it's eligible but my thoughts were 'The One'? If not, then 'In My Arms'.
Well done Fragile.
The One is a great option.
Actually I assume 'The One' is eligible, it still had a digital release even if the physical was cancelled and had a video.
Looking at other era-closing singles, 'The One' definitely seems to me like the most popular, but interested to see what others think.
'The One' is lovely! Not sure how it would compare against the rest of the competition, but early days, it's high up for me <3
The one would be great but with how it was released might eliminate it from going through to the competition, if not allowed I suggest shocked or in my arms.
Shocked or In My Arms would both be great options, I think (not a fan of The One at all, but I understand it does have its fans, so maybe it could slide through?)
The one in my opinion is a brill song but in my arms might be better known.shocked is great aswell but might be too old.
'Shocked' is great but I too worry that it might be 'too old' and I can already see people whinging about the rap...
'The One' came fourth in the singles rate and it feels like something people would like if it were their first time listening to it.
The One please
The One is very instant, the first time you hear it, it just stays in your head
Did Come Into My World end an era ?
It did - closed the Fever era.
Thought so that would be my vote
In My Arms
---
The One is SO overrated, so maybe that's the right choice?
We can't go for 'In My Arms' by the way since 'The One' has been confirmed as eligible.
is that confirming that the one is going through?
No I just wanted to check that it would be allowed given its cancelled physical release. Still yet to confirm our choice.
Did ‘Breathe’ close the Impossible Princess era?
If so then Breathe 100%.
Chocolate though amazing may struggle as it often appears unpopular in some quarters.
Yeah 'Chocolate' can get a bit of stick for the vocal style and editing which I could see members taking issue with in the competition. I personally love it though, and thank you very much for the suggestion!
Ya i feel the same about chocolate, i love it myself but think it will get a lot of stick and i could it getting voted out.
It HAS to be come into my world!!!! I have a huge soft spot for Please Stay too but not sure that would go down as well. COME INTO MY WORLD!!
Choice sent through about an hour ago.
Kylie's options for this round being so good that nobody even mentioned the equally strong 'Giving You Up'
'Please Stay' would've been another great one but I think 'Your Disco Needs You' would've counted as the final single through its Australian release!
Kylie's final releases usually seem to get overlooked by their much bigger preceding singles, so it's nice to see some appreciation being shown! Ultimately I figured that so many big favourites are being sent on other AFs so I chose the song that receives the most love here, since none of them were particularly big hits that would make obvious choices.
I forgot giving you up was a closing single and I really like it. With cowboy style an aussie single only I always see breathe as the closing single for IP.
Cowboy style has a great cover, its by far the best cover from the ip singles. Was it ever on the cards for a uk release?
Probably not, I think 'Cowboy Style' only got an Australian release because Impossible Princess was actually successful there. It was probably a 'for the fans' release-type following the tour.
I suppose the video suggests that's what it was, I was living in Australia around that time and managed to get a copy of the single.
Round 8 is live! Support Kylie and six other songs here: http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=234770
Great song choice for Kylie.
Slow start in the votes, 1 from 4 have voted Kylie.
Some good songs in this round, fingers crossed for kylie, but if she goes out it's out with a great song.
It is a song deserving of qualifcatuon.
Il be voting later today.
23 hours left to vote if you haven't already! http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=234770
The remix for the single edit that the Freemasons did is even better:
I prefer the original to the freemasons mix but it's still good.
I have submitted my votes.
That was hard as I left out some songs I like.
Must do mine now incase I forget
We got through! Next round is free choice. What do we want?
All the Lovers? On a Night Like This?
I'm siding with All the Lovers tbh! It's one of Kylie's signature songs and loved by even those who aren't Kylie fans. This round is going to be TOUGH so want to go hard with the choices.
surely something as strong as All The Lovers.
On A Night Like This I am afraid isn't that strong imo.
I'm all for all the lovers.
All The Lovers would be a very apt choice as we enter Pride Month!
All the Lovers would be an incredible choice, I really can’t see there being a scenario where I wouldn’t vote for it
It's a brill song and did have great appeal outside the fan base.
All The Lovers is a great choice !!
Great stuff! I'll get 'All the Lovers' sent through then.
Really really happy with that choice.
Round 9 is live! Vote Kylie and five others here: http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=234917
I've not voted yet, but I know my top 3 and Kylie is there so will 99.999999999% get my vote. Number 1 no less
We love to hear it!
I have voted and it was almost easy but had to leave 1 song out that u liked from the spice girls, kylie easily made it as I'm a huge fan of all the lovers.
All The Lovers is my ultimate Kylie song.
Glad Kylie went through Voted for ATL earlier - such an iconic Kylie track.
I really would welcome a qualification for Kylie in this round.
Fingers crossed but she seems to be doing ok.
It is hard to predict as the votes are divided in many votes although Kylie is getting voted in what looks like 50%.
There is a lot of love for ATL despite it being a competitive round
Deserving love.
We got through!
ROUND 10: A remix, bonus track or B-side
> Mostly self-explanatory! Singles ARE allowed to be sent for this round, so choose wisely. <
My first thoughts were 'Tightrope' or 'Sleeping with the Enemy' for B-side/bonus track or 'Can't Get Blue Monday Out of My Head' for remix. What do you guys think?
great news to get through again, i knew all the lovers wouldnt let us down as its just brilliant, cant get blue Monday would be my choice as i adore it
My thoughts were that 'Can't Get Blue Monday Out of My Head' could possibly be well known due to the BRITs performance and it also follows the same structure as the original song so even those who haven't heard it will still probably like it.
Don’t Wanna Lose This Groove - would get the M forum voting !
Any further thoughts from anyone else?
On A Night Like This is a great track but Kylie has served many greater tracks in her time.
That said,it qualifies strongly as a cover version if it was a qualification.
All The Lovers, qualifying and bringing Kylie to the final 10 is so fitting and brilliant.
Where did Kylie place in the previous contest?
The Kylie remix of Higher by Taio Cruz
Blue Monday is a very strong candidate, very well known and ticks the boxes for the requirements of the upcoming round.
not so sure on the danii into the groove or higher by kylie, i cant see either pulling the votes in that would be needed to get through but i could be wrong.
The single elimination will of help in this round to hopefully make the final 9.
I think Can't Get Blue Monday Out of My Head would be a fantastic choice, if you're all happy to forego sending the original at another point in the contest?
I'm here for the suggestion of Tightrope too though, it's so brilliant and I like the idea of people being introduced to such a gem - but it of course has its risks. It seems a lot of forums are leaning towards sending singles that fit the criteria.
Tightrope is really really good but with other forums sending some hit singles that hav ebeen remixed tightrope could get lost among all that.
oh so we are good but of equaling the last result, hopefully we can at least match it.
hopefully she can stay in for a while yet
Very close to a Top 5 finish in the previous competition.
If we get through there is still a few big kylie songs left that we can use.
I'll be sending our choice through shortly!
as singles go from light years on a night like this was the best single but there are better songs on the album than it and i do prefer a good few of her other singles to it aswell.
Round 10 is live! Vote Kylie and four others here: http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=235018
Great choice, i will be shocked if it doesnt qualify.
Some big songs in the round.
I have a listening spree coming before I submit my votes but Kylie is certain of my vote as it's the best in the category.
I was undecided between Madonna, Pink and Katy Perry, unfortunately Katy Perry lost out.
If i dont vote tonight i will tomorrow.
It appears to be having a 50/50 voting appeal.
it will get harder harder to get through now.
Great choice - just voted
It seems to be doing fairly ok.
Fingers crossed for another qualification.
Through to the next round!
ROUND 11: A collaboration
> Self explanatory. <
I'm stumped as to what to go with. I feel like everyone will have different favourites.
'Where the Wild Roses Grow' and 'Especially for You' are pretty well-known Kylie collaborations but I don't think they would work well in this competition. There's 'Kids' too but that's pretty low regarded.
Perhaps this could be the time to go for a Dannii song? 'You Won't Forget About Me' or 'Who Do You Love Now' perhaps?
'Who Do You Love Now?' and 'Kids' are my favourites from your options!
Oh dear, this doesn't seem like it's Kylie's round 'Really Don't Like U' is my clear, clear favourite but I don't think the forum regulars would be here for it ~
I actually kind of dig Especially For You.
There's Higher with Taio Cruz?
Yeah I had 'Really Don't Like U' in mind too as that seems to be popular with members who don't usually visit the Kylie AF.
'In Denial' is another fan favourite, could that do well?
omg I hadn't even considered Dannii but You Won't Forget About Me
Do They Know It's Christmas?
'Who Do You Love Now?' has quite a lot of exposure on BuzzJack as it was part of the mammoth 'One Hit Wonders of the Millennium' day in the chart forum and I think it was sent to a BJSC spin-off as well! Not sure how it would do but yeah it does have those factors ~
In terms of Kylie, my top picks would be Higher or Limpido (not sure how well either of those are considered though ~)
Who fo you love now woukd be the best dannii option I love where the wild rises growing denial etc but not sure how they would do, it's a hard one to call.
Ya a poll might help us out.
Music's Too Sad Without You.
List of 47 Kylie/Dannii collabs...
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4FgsN5puYtNLSm9QrQ40yl?si=SnacJQLgQM6VN6adA8IKtQ
seems like Kylie might be doomed this round tbh.
We need all the dance fans to ally and vote for Dannii!!
Was 'Where The Wild Roses Grow' ever considered?!!!
It was but it's probably too left-field to do well in this competition. I can imagine a lot of people not getting it and finding it dull.
It feels it could be a dangerous round.
Dannii managed to finished 3rd in my ranking
07/11 Kylie and Dannii Minogue [03-03-07-X-X-01-06-05-X-X-03]
From having just submitted my votes, Dannii is getting a reasonbly positive vote reaction.
Most vote soon but dont like too many of the songs, who do you love now is the best song in it for me.
Got my vote in now, hopefully WDYLN can get through.
It is showing to be in with a chance.
Keep showing your support for 'Who Do You Love Now'!
Based on the quality of the songs Dannii is competing with Who Do You Love Now should progress with ease.
We need a few more dannii votes if anyone hasnt voted yet, it looks like 28 have voted for who do you love now and 35 havnt.
The voting appears more spread out on various songs in this round.
Based on that, Dannii is close to achieving a vote from almost 50% of those who have submitted votes.
It looks very very close.
It would be a disappointment not to progress.
i think she has a good chance.
1 hour to vote guys
We got through!
Currently a tie-breaker between Madonna and Taylor - go vote! http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=235194
Dannii got through a really tough round and deservedly so !!
I thought 'Who Do You Love Now' would be our best shot at getting through but I was still anticipating a bottom 2 placing, so I'm thrilled that we made it!
I think a lot of people either forgot how good 'Who Do You Love Now' is or forgot about it completely. It was worth putting through for that recognition alone!
This round and the previous one were the ones I were most anxious about. Obviously I can't reveal the future rounds but I'm quite confident about the choices I have penciled in!
brill that who do you love now go t through.
I'm shocked she went through with a trance banger. Didnt think it was Buzzjack's taste at all, but glad I was proven wrong
Well done Who Do You Love Now.
Interesting to see what the next criteria will be.
Queen Dannii
Is is positive that a Dannii song qualified.
I wouldn't have enjoyed her first entry flopping.
Great choice mods! I made a new (good) discovery.
Maybe give I Believe In You a chance?
Can we have a reminder of what has been sent ?
Free choice this round! My thoughts were either 'On a Night Like This' or 'In My Arms' but happy to hear what you guys think!
In My Arms is my fave Kylie song would love to see that sent in
Alternatively we could always just play it with the assumption we probably won't make it to the final and send 'Love at First Sight'?
Can you just send Cant get you out of my head again
You wouldn’t?
I honestly think those options are legit guaranteeing you an elimination! On second thoughts, send those songs!
send dancing!
‘Love At First Sight’ would be an amazing choice
On a Night Like This or Love at First Sight
Kylie’s best song - On A Night Like This
Dannii - All I Wanna Do
I'd be for love at first sight,
Love at first sight is a bop
100 Degrees
A def no for 100 degrees for me but it doesn't fit the bill.
Seems perfect to me!
