March 20, 201114 yr Three average/OK songs left now, of the three the Shakira song deserves to get voted off next I guess. -- Richard
March 20, 201114 yr Shakira- Hips Don't Lie, although very good top 3 overall Gnarls Barkley ftw though, its about time a male act won this
March 20, 201114 yr Very difficult now actually, I love all three of these songs. I went for 'Crazy' in the end.
March 20, 201114 yr Shakira. I mean, I suppose it deserves to be in the final three based on impact and representiveness of that year in chart music, but on quality? No way!! What was Wyclef thinking when he signed up to this embarrassment? Then again, it's not really that much worse than some of the other $h!t he's put his name to post-Fugees. Gnarls Barkley will go though. But it did well to get to #3 - that's higher than the usual glass ceiling for male acts (#4/5 is the typical result :lol:) I do think Maneater has the win in the bag though, and a deserved win it would be, as it's pretty fantastic.

March 20, 201114 yr Gnarls Barkley ftw though, its about time a male act won this Be nice for Gnarls Barkley to win. Gnarls Barkley would be an excellent winner but sadly looks like it's going to leave the competition this round leaving a predictable all female final. :( (not that I hate 'Hips Don't Lie' and 'Maneater', but 'Crazy' is in a different league imo).
March 20, 201114 yr I like them all, but I voted for Crazy, because the other two are amazing! :o This is probably the best top 3 after 2007's.
March 20, 201114 yr I didn't know Wyclef Jean was in Fugees :o Sorry to drop that bombshell on you unannounced :lol: How many Fugees songs have you heard though? He says his name at the start of Killing Me Softly for one :lol: And I don't really know anyone else called Wyclef, let alone another singer/rapper. So it should have been pretty easy to guess just from that. And he actually sings on other songs of theirs like No Woman No Cry.
March 20, 201114 yr Crazy, all three of these songs would comfortably be in my top ten of 2006 though :wub:

And I don't think I've heard any of their other songs.

What was Wyclef thinking when he signed up to this embarrassment? Then again, it's not really that much worse than some of the other $h!t he's put his name to post-Fugees. Wasn't it the biggest selling single of the decade worldwide? Probably not a bad move on his part! Anyway, I obviously couldn't disagree more, this being easily my favourite UK #1 of all time, let alone just of 2006. Completely made my year and brings back far too many good memories of that amazing summer than I care to mention (along with Voodoo Child and the Lily Allen, Nelly Furtado and Pipettes albums) :wub: It's a complete classic in my eyes and to think that 5 years earlier he'd been collaborating with Brian Harvey on some dodgy football chant song :drama:

You're right that he'd already done some awful songs before then. The one with The Rock (massive cringe), the Brian Harvey one you mentioned (dire indeed), an entire album he released with Tom Jones (WTF? :blink:)... at least Lauryn had the sense to only make one (absolutely incredible) album to avoid the massive decline in quality control Wyclef suffered :( Edited March 20, 201114 yr by superbossanova
