February 21, 201411 yr Ehhh...I just stumbled in a few minutes ago to see what the singles survivor thread was all about, saw a poll, voted without giving it much thought...and then realised I'd tipped the balance in SOTU's favour in the final of this thing...and then saw that the thread was immediately locked and the vote closed :blink:. I know this is a pretty big deal so sorry to any CTS fans for wandering it at the wrong moment. 'Can't Speak French' should have made the final though. Anyway, I'll leave now.
February 21, 201411 yr Author I didn't intentionally do that :lol: I just viewed the thread, saw it wasn't a tie anymore and locked it, didn't realise it was so soon after that vote occurred haha!
February 21, 201411 yr So glad 'Call The Shots' didn't win this, unbelievably overrated. Good that 'No Good Advice', 'Biology' and 'Something Kinda Oooh' finished so high, even if the former should've been the runaway winner.
February 21, 201411 yr Most my favourites are underrated (One Day I'll Fly Away, Beautiful Cause You Love Me, See The Day, Walk This Way, Promise)
February 21, 201411 yr So glad 'Call The Shots' didn't win this, unbelievably overrated. What is it about it which makes you feel it doesn't deserve to be rated as highly as it is? :( It's such a glorious pop song. That middle 8 is one of the best Girls Aloud moments ever, especially in concert. For me, it thoroughly deserves the praise it gets. I'd even lean towards it being underrated rather than overrated. It should have done more than #3 / Silver (ugh, 2007 sales). ~ Regarding the overall results, 'Something New' coming 27th is still completely ridiculous. :lol: I'm a bit disappointed that 'Something Kinda Ooooh' missed out on the Top 5. Surprised that 'Sexy!' missed out on Top 10 whereas 'The Loving Kind' made it in.

Surprised that 'Sexy!' missed out on Top 10 whereas 'The Loving Kind' made it in. Spot on, as usual James. 'Call The Shots' is pop perfection. It's probably one of my favourite pop songs in the last decade or so. :wub: Back to the results, I'd like to add that 'The Promise' is way too low and 'Can't Speak French' is a tad too high, but other than that the results are about right. 'Sound Of The Underground' is a great winner.
February 21, 201411 yr 'Call The Shots' is the song that has and will stand the test of time for them the most. It's glorious throughout and continues to excite me when I randomly hear it. I actually quite like SOTU too, as well as most of their singles but it was no contest for me when choosing the winner. Robbed!!1
February 21, 201411 yr Every time I checked the thread Call the shots and SOTU were drawing or Call the Shots would be ahead by 1. Typical it finally gets closed on SOTU. I like both songs, but Call The Shots is GENIUS pop. and it's horrifying that it's not even sold 300k, despite an incredible chart run.
February 21, 201411 yr YES 'Sound Of The Underground'! I've always found 'Call The Shots' a tad overrated, but it is glorious live. :wub:

It should have done more than #3 / Silver (ugh, 2007 sales). I just feel like the song doesn't really have anything to it, it's so pedestrian sounding and the chorus is totally flat. 'The Loving Kind' is like a much improved version of it. Edited February 22, 201411 yr by mr_aly
February 23, 201411 yr :snif: For me, 'The Loving Kind' fits the bill for "pedestrian" out of all of their original singles. I like it, but it's not a very exciting listen, bar maybe the Nicola/Kimberley moment. Nicola hates the song, interestingly. :lol:
