Get speculating, results will begin later :D
April 6, 201312 yr Author Seeing as we have one post, I'll get started :P I failed though, there actually seems to 89! I'll reveal them in 10s up to 40 then there'll be less per post! (well this one will just be 89-81, but you know what I mean :P) 89 Highest score: 7 (Lukuzz, gooddelta, Toby, treble clef, Scherz) Lowest score: 4 (Silver Rocket) Average: 5.30 So bottom of the pack is the title track from Kelly's 2003 debut. Not the most impressive of tracks, listenable enough but it's easy to see why it's bottom! 88 Highest score: 9 (FleetSeb, treble clef) Lowest score: 3 (Regina) Average: 6.0 Another Thankful track, this time a Japanese bonus track - a studio version of one of her Idol perofmances. I actually think this is a pretty good cover, although again nothing spectacular! 87 Highest score: 8 (Lukuzz) Lowest score: 3 (Regina) Average: 6.0 Thankful again, this is a pretty average track that showed why on the whole the Thankful sound wasn't the sound that Kelly needed for a successful career. 86 Highest score: 9 (_Luke_, Regina) Lowest score: 4 (Bec) Average: 6.16 Thankful again! This is actually probably one of the better tracks for me aside from the singles, the average is a bit harsh! 85 Highest score: 9 (FleetSeb, Marina Hurts, Scherz) Lowest score: 0 (Regina) Average: 6.23 Breaking the Thankful chain is the lowest scoring track from All I Ever Wanted, the cute but average I Want You. For me, it does kind of does the same job as Ready but not anywhere near as well. I agree it's one of Kelly's weakest tracks to date really. 84 Highest score: 9 (gooddelta) Lowest score: 4 (Regina) Average: 6.55 Next is the lowest scoring track from Stronger, the rather average Standing In Front Of You. Amongst the better ballads such as Honestly and The War Is Over, this really fails to stand out on the album in my opinion, although it's good enough. 83 Highest score: 8 (Liam) Lowest score: 6 (Jonjo, Marina Hurts, Scherz) Average: 6.60 And back to Thankful yet again! I actually really like this, though it's not one of her best by any stretch and perhaps an 8 is a bit generous. 82 11s Marina Hurts 10s Regina Lowest score: 4 (Silver Rocket) Average: 6.60 Thankful yet again, getting through that album quickly :P This is however the lowest track to garner any 11s or 10s :o 81 11s 10s Marina Hurts Lowest score: 3 (Regina) Average: 6.78 Now this is definitely too low! A cute song, something slightly different for Kelly perhaps but I do really like this! Lower than nearly all tracks on All I Ever Wanted, which to be fair is a strong album and I do agree with it being lower than quite a few of the tracks!
April 6, 201312 yr Not that surprising at the moment. If I'm honest, I really can't remember many of the tracks from 'Thankful', so I'm not surprised to see it storm this section. 'I Want You' and 'Ready' are two of the weakest tracks from AIEW, so not surprising to see them appear so early, but IWY does have a certain charm to it. 'Standing In Front Of You' is my least favourite from 'Stronger', so I'm happy to see that out.
April 7, 201312 yr I Want You is the worst ever Kelly song for me, the only one I don't really listen to. I think Thankful is rather underrated Some Kind Of Miracle is fantastic imo.
April 7, 201312 yr OMG! Can't believe I missed this :'( Miss Independent/Hazel Eyes/Maybe/The Day We Fell Apart/Let Me Down/People Like Us are my album picks just to put it out there :P And yes!! Lukuzz I totally agree :) Edited April 7, 201312 yr by MyDecember
April 7, 201312 yr Gutted What's Up Lonely? rated so low. :( I wouldn't be surprised if all of Thankful were within the lower half (bar Miss Independent).
April 13, 201312 yr Author Sorry I've been a floppy host, there won't be a week between this and the next lot :P 71 Can I Have A Kiss Highest score: 8.5 (gooddelta, Jonjo) Lowest score: 5 (Toby, treble clef, Bec) Average: 7.08 Back to My December, and another good but not great from the album. 72 Why Don't You Try 11s 10s Lukuzz Average: 7.0 Stronger yet again, and this is a bonus track from thealbum. Probably one of the weaker tracks on it for me, nice enough though. 72 (no 10s) Highest score: 9.5 (Jonjo) Lowest score: 4 (_Luke_) Average: 7.00 Back to Stronger now, and this is probably one of the weakest tracks for me. Nice enough song, but not up there with the high standard of songs like Honestly, Stronger, Alone etc.! 74 Highest score: 9 (Liam, Jack, FleetSeb) Lowest score: 2 (Silver Rocket) Average: 7.00 I actually can't at this so low, one of my My December faves! So underrated. This was vaguely pushed as a single, but only reached #93 in Germany and #94 in Germany. I don't get how this didn't finish higher :/ 75 11s 10s Lukuzz Lowest score: 5 (Marina Hurts) Average: 6.97 Now this definitely doesn't deserve to be this low! It's not one of the best on All I Ever Wanted thanks to stiff competition, but it's a beautiful ballad with lots of emotion from Kelly and a stellar example of her wonder vocals <3 76 Yeah 11s 10s Toby Lowest score: 4 (_Luke_, Scherz) Average: 6.97 My December again, a soulful pop/rock track that is very good! It doesn't shine too much amongst the overwheliming amazingness of My December as a whole but it should be higher! 77 Highest score: 9 (NickF1, gooddelta, Jonjo, Toby) Lowest score: 4 (Regina, Silver Rocket) Average: 6.94 Next is the lowest song on the near-perfect Breakaway, and probably one I agree with. I'd say it's my least favourite on Breakaway, although I don't agree with its placing overall here. 78 Highest score: 9 Lowest score: 4 (Regina) Average: 6.94 A country cover of my favourite song of all time falls in at a paltry 78! Country legend Reba enlisted Kelly's help for her cover on her 2007 album Duets, and it hit #2 on Billboard Country Songs and #50 on the Hot 100. Obviously not a patch on Kelly's original but it's a nice cover imo. 79 Be Still 11s 10s Lukuzz, Jack, Jonjo, Scherz, Lowest score: 5 (Toby, Mullo, Eyes, Bec, Silver Rocket) Average: 6.88 Next is the lowest track from My December, a shock for me! This is beautiful, I really can't see how it's lower than a lot of the tracks above :( 80 11s NickF1 10s FleetSeb, Marina Hurts, Scherz Lowest score: 5 (SceneOfSIXCrimes) Average: 6.79 Another All I Ever Wanted track, to be honest one I expected to be a little higher... It's a very good track actually, I would put it higher.

This is beautiful, I really can't see how it's lower than a lot of the tracks above :( 80 11s NickF1 10s FleetSeb, Marina Hurts, Scherz Lowest score: 5 (SceneOfSIXCrimes) Average: 6.79 Another All I Ever Wanted track, to be honest one I expected to be a little higher... It's a very good track actually, I would put it higher.Oh no. Some truly stunning gems here. Most notably 'Breaking Your Own Heart', 'If No One Will Listen' and 'Be Still'. I'd certainly put those tracks higher as well as a couple of others from here, but as ever with a rate, nothing will ever go the way you planned. Those three deserved top 40 at the very least though. Beautiful, BEAUTIFUL songs. :wub:
April 14, 201312 yr Author 70 11s 10s gooddelta, treble_clef Lowest score: 3 (Marina Hurts) Average: 7.05 Barely limping into the top 70 is Kelly's debut single from way back in 2002! Fresh from emerging victorious from American Idol's inaugural series, Kelly released this ballad which went to #1 in the US, breaking the then-record for highest climb to #1, and was later covered by Leona Lewis in 2006 as her own debut single (call me a flop fan, but Leona's version is better). A lovely little song though, shouldn't be this low at all! 69 11s 10s Lukuzz Lowest score: -1 (Marina Hurts) Average: 7.06 Also struggling to impress is Kelly's first 'proper' solo foray into country, one of three new tracks on her recent Greatest Hits collection Chapter One, featuring country veteran Vince Gill. In my opinion, it's very good in comparison but definitely pales next to People Like Us and Catch My Breath. Being quite Thankful in sound, it's not a surprise it flops down here with half of that album, but I really thought it would higher given that it's recent! 68 Highest score: 8 (Liam, Lukuzz, gooddelta) Lowest score: 6 (Jack, Regina) Average: 7.18 The first track from the Smoackstack Sessions Vol. 2 EP to appear now, a cover of 50s country track Your Cheatin' Heart, which has famously been recorded by Patsy Cline, Elvis Presley and LeAnn Rimes. As with the entire EP, this is a very good cover that shows Kelly can do pretty much anything. I love this style from her and hope to see more in the future. 67 Highest score: 9 (Regina) Lowesr score: 2 (Marina Hurts) Average: 7.19 Another early Kelly track now, this is again from Thankful. Released as her debut single alongside A Moment Like THis, this is another ballad that is very 'reality winner' but it's a very nice little song. I prefer A Moment Like This now. 66 11s 10s Liam, Marina Hurts Average: 7.22 This is really too low! The 2nd Australian single (following worldwide single Never Again) from My December, I love this personally. Despite having only a #36 peak over there, I can't see why this is lower than a few of the tracks above it! 65 Where Is Your Heart? 11s 10s Lukuzz Lowest score: 3 (Silver Rocket) Average: 7.23 A seemingly rare bottom end appearence from Breakaway now, touching ballad Where Is Your Heart. I think although this is admittedly one of the weaker tracks on Breakaway, that just means it's less amazing than the likes of life defining Because Of You, Behind These Hazel Eyes, Breakaway and Since U Been Gone! Lovely vocals as always from Kelly on this especially. 64 11s 10s Liam, Toby Lowest score: 4 (Bec) Average: 7.26 Now JUST NO at this so low :mad: Not far off my Kelly top 20, and easily in my Stronger top 5! Very fun and sing-along, I just love love love this song! I've never much said about it though in comparison to many tracks on Stronger so perhaps it just fell under the radar. 63 11s Eyes 10s Liam Lowest score: 3 (Mullo) Average: 7.36 Another very underappreciated Stronger gem, classic pop/rock Kelly in Einstein. I don't know what must be missing from this song for people not to place it too high; it's got vox, melody and quotable lyrics aplenty... Ah well :P 62 11s 10s Jonjo, FleetSeb, Eyes Lowest score: 4 (Mullo) Average: 7.37 All I Ever Wanted next, and a melodic, classic Kelly pop/rock track again. I love the strings on this especially! I always thought this was better loved than some of the All I Ever Wanted tracks above it but perhaps not. 61 11s 10s treble_clef Lowest score: 4 (Regina) Average: 7.38 Finishing this set is one of two more recent songs to be covered on the Smoackstack Sessions Vol. 2 EP, originally released in 2008 by Black Keys on their album Attack & Release. I haven't even heard of the original, and this isn't the best of the EP but Kelly does it justice I'm sure.
April 14, 201312 yr Ugh at myself for not voting in this. Some great tracks already out like Impossible which is a definite 10 from me.
April 14, 201312 yr With every countdown, I kick myself for missing this. :( Gutted Where Is Your Heart? and Hello are quite low. I'm not surprised with the country Because of You being quite low; something about Reba's voice that I don't quite like. I wish One Minute would be higher; such a production driven song (in a good way too!). :D
April 14, 201312 yr What are the actual averages that they all achieved...? Gutting for "Don't Rush" - it's an absolutely beautiful duet, and I far prefer it to "Catch My Breath" now.
April 14, 201312 yr 72 Highest score: 9.5 (Jonjo) Lowest score: 4 (_Luke_) Average: 7.00 Back to Stronger now, and this is probably one of the weakest tracks for me. Nice enough song, but not up there with the high standard of songs like Honestly, Stronger, Alone etc.! 74 Highest score: 9 (Liam, Jack, FleetSeb) Lowest score: 2 (Silver Rocket) Average: 7.00 I actually can't at this so low, one of my My December faves! So underrated. This was vaguely pushed as a single, but only reached #93 in Germany and #94 in Germany. I don't get how this didn't finish higher :/ Very good hosting but where is 73? :P
April 14, 201312 yr Author What are the actual averages that they all achieved...? Gutting for "Don't Rush" - it's an absolutely beautiful duet, and I far prefer it to "Catch My Breath" now. Oops, I was multi-tasking, sorry :lol: I'll edit them in, hang on!
April 14, 201312 yr Don't Rush, Where Is Your Heart, If No One Will Listen, Be Still, I Hate Myself For Losing You and Breaking Your Own Heart are all far too low and underrated imo. Seems that a lot of people aren't fans of the ballads :(
