I like I'm Not Alone but it's not winners material

Posted by: James1987 22nd October 2015, 05:59 PM

Feel So Close and Pray To God should have done better better but that top 3 is great!

fab winner ~ thanks for finishing this dan

Posted by: Dantom. 22nd October 2015, 06:14 PM

Who should be next for Least Favourite Single then? Avicii?

Posted by: mr_pmt 22nd October 2015, 06:19 PM

Decent enough winner I guess. 'Feel So Close', 'Acceptable In The 80s', 'Pray To God' and 'You Used To Hold Me' finished too low, 'Outside' and 'Bounce' finished too high.

Yay for I'm Not Alone! Acceptable In The 80s still his best tho Thanks Ethan/Dan for running this x

Posted by: UltraBasicWitch 22nd October 2015, 06:49 PM

I think David Guetta would be a good one

Posted by: Cody Scareberry 22nd October 2015, 06:54 PM

Eh. All right winner but suuuuuper predictable. "Acceptable In The 80's" is by far one of the most underrated songs on this site.

Pretty horrific results overall.

Posted by: Mack 22nd October 2015, 07:02 PM

Out of the top two. I felt I'm Not Alone definitely deserved to win. I'm glad it did.

Yep happy with that of the final two but echoing the above not a great set of results overall for me personally. Far too many lower than they should be.

Regarding a potential next contest I would say Guetta but I think we all know what the obvious winner would be (sigh) so maybe Avicii would be better. Or The Prodigy?

Posted by: gavindeejay 22nd October 2015, 08:42 PM

I second this

Posted by: #psycho7 22nd October 2015, 09:13 PM

Obviously a Prodigy edition would be great at some point <3 though i'd be perfectly fine with an Avicii one next ~

Posted by: Scary Spice 22nd October 2015, 11:24 PM

Love both songs, but I would have preferred a We Found Love win.

Also I may as well say this one more time: 'Summer' finished way too low and I don't understand the hate it receives.

Posted by: Dircadirca 23rd October 2015, 02:44 AM

Yay, wouldn't have expected that at the start. "We Found Love" is a rare case of a song that's so near universally loved but I've never really enjoyed it (getting somewhat better with age though), so glad to see "I'm Not Alone" on top which I've always loved.

I voted for I'm Not Alone this time

Posted by: Slick 26th October 2015, 07:17 PM

That's a strong and very reasonable top two.

Posted by: jase. 27th October 2015, 11:01 PM

Yeah, this Great song, though!

'Sweet Nothing' is my favourite Calvin track

Posted by: Juan Carlos 31st October 2015, 02:42 AM

Really late, but...

It's so great to see that one of my favourite singles from Calvin won this. At least, it makes up that "Flashback" and "You Used to Hold Me" leave so soon.
