For people seemed to prefer this idea to Texas.

 

Once again, I have placed my faith in the infallible Wikipedia for the list. I have included Identify for it had a video, Scars which WAS going to be a single up until last month, and buzz singles Wild About It, Want, Glorious, Counting Down The Days, Beauty On The Fire, Wishing I Was There and whatever other commercial mishaps Natalie would like to dismiss as a buzz single.

 

Usual rules, score from 0 to 10. You can also have ONE -1, and ONE 11.

 

 

The list

00 Torn

00 Big Mistake

00 Wishing I Was There

00 Smoke

00 Identify

00 That Day

00 Wrong Impression

00 Beauty On The Fire

00 Shiver

00 Counting Down The Days

00 Glorious

00 Wild About It

00 Want

00 Scars

If only we got the original version of Scars... it could have been the best thing on Come To Life by a considerable difference. I think I've been quite harsh with my scoring but when she's great she really is great and I've acknowledged that so...

 

Poor Natalie though. For years she's been such an almost artist. Almost a great album. Almost a high profile artist. Almost top 87 with Want.

Oh I've been harsh aswell - I don't REALLY believe That Day to be a 4/10, but there's no point me giving all the songs 8 or 9s as we'll just end up with every song in a tied position!

 

I don't think I ever heard the original version of Scars, only the acoustic. Is there a link somewhere?

 

Being a blandie, I would class White Lillies Island as a great album but I doubt many would agree! Even the Counting Down The Days album now I think about it - I still wish she'd released Satisfied and Perfectly, even though they'd have clearly been #47 smashes.

OH GOD ACTUALLY I'm not sure if I prefer Shiver to Torn. I love them both SO MUCH. What to do? Edit: I've brought Torn down to a measly 10.

 

And yes, she performed Scars live in 2008 at some festival after which a clip of the studio version leaked. It had a much better arrangement and melody than the album version. Here:

Seriously Theo? Not rating 'Shiver' or 'Torn' at least? Please tell me that's because you can't remember them... (although wtf at the thought of that in itself haha :P)
Theo is like six remember. He wasn't even a sperm when Torn was released.

But still. 'Torn' is still played regularly on alot of stations.

It's like one of us not knowing 'Like A Prayer' or 'Heart Of Glass' or whatever. Unfathomable. 'Torn' is a pop classic.

Oooh I've gone a bit loon-esque havent I. But she has one damn fine back catalogue though. Shiver in particular was the highlight of the first 6 months of 2005.

 

Edit: Theo honestly. You go down more & more in my estimation with each passing day. Someone should buy you Natalie's GH for your birthday.

OMG what was the silly bitch thinking?

 

That clip sounds absolutely fantastic, why on earth did she change it to the acoustic dreary-athon? It's like every move she makes has been expertly designed to shoot her fading career down in flames.

I know right, Shoat? Truly shocking. And Jonjo, I don't think Adam ALLOWS .5s - if he does then I'd like to go back and re-do my Corrs rate JUST BECAUSE.

I have no problems with .5s. Jark, you may re-edit The Corrs votes, but it won't make any difference because I'm not going back!

lulz. When 'Want' was out, Aled told me to listen to loads of her previous material, and I found it all quite boring. :(

oh shame I'd much prefer a Texas rate :(
