Just missing out on the top 5 is a song I really thought would be contending for the WIN! 'Run' is absolutely astonishing and is exactly how a cover should be done, imo. It is a song that would easily get my 11, if I wasn't too bothered about other songs being too low and needing my help more! It's crazy to think that this only started as a Live Lounge cover back in 2007. I believe it was the most requested Live Lounge performance of the time and people just wanted MORE from her. It's a cover that manages to be quite a bit different from the original but manages to capture the heart and emotion of it just as well! SYCO saw the demand for this song and it's only ever featured on one Live Lounge album, way after it's release and more of a "Best Of" as opposed to the annual release, but they managed to get this song an official release, a stunning X Factor performance and it stormed it's way to the top of iTunes once it was released (it wasn't released straight away!!!) with one of the biggest leads I have witnessed on the iTunes chart. It was a phenomenon.

Run deserved top 3 !!!!! And how dare is Joe giving a 2 ???????? ..I would not give it to the worst album filler
All Night Long shoulda been top 5 at least. Yall messes

Joe gave Run a 2??! :o

 

That performance of Run on The X Factor back in 2008 is, in my opinion, the single greatest XF performance of all time by a guest performer. Even if that does sound biased since I'm a huge Leona fan. :kink:

At what time is that during the video? :lol:

DNA is fab but it's quite overrated here I think :mellow:

 

Secret Love Song is at quite a suitable position I think! Amazing track, and with all the jams included in this rate it might have seemed too overated had it been much higher.

At what time is that during the video? :lol:

I don't think Run is as bad as a 2 to be honest but I do think it's a nice cover and she sings is beautifully but it's horribly overrated, just because it was a hit. She has a huge amount of original songs that are much better. Happy, Collide, OMS and of course Bleeding Love.

Oh I thought that was just her getting lost in the song!! :lol:

I think the effect 'Run' had on me has long worn off but I remember first hearing it and it gave me chills. Although I do agree that she's had original material that's either just as strong or even stronger but 'Collide'... nah. :P

#05 Little Mix - 'Black Magic' (AVG. 9.16)

Highest Scores:

11 | Liam, SamJudd, AdamAloud, Jimmy Jam, DionTheSats123

10 | Joe., Josh, Cameron, Chapman, Adam92, Ryan, Slick

2 | Chez Wombat

 

'Black Magic' comes in at #5, being the third most popular Little Mix track here, which may be a surprise to some who saw it possibly topping the rate. 'Black Magic' is far and away Little Mix's most successful single, selling over 800k in the UK, where it's currently within the top 10 selling girlgroup singles of all time! Little Mix have a lot to thank 'Black Magic' for, it pushed their popularity to new heights, where they started to get huge amounts more radio support than ever before and expanded their fanbase hugely. It helped the next 3 singles gain more interest and support and is kind of like their commercial evolution into the big leagues within UK music. 'Black Magic' was followed by lots of huge performances and two Brit Award nominations... It may not be the most unique or groundbreaking song from them (which is why I think 'Move' and 'Love Me Like You' have placed higher), but it's still a huge pop anthem, which is catchy, infectious, unforgettable and rightfully deserves its place in the pop hall of fame.

Move, Ghost, Love Me Like You, Bleeding Love.

 

 

TOP FOUR PREDDIX?

Floored BM finishes in 5th! Fully expected top 3, maybe top 2. I would like to have seen it above Ghost, but can't complain too much.

 

Well I think LMLY will just miss top 3 in 4. Ghost 3, Move 2, and sticking with Bleeding Love as the winner. Now BM is out would love it if LMLY could defy the odds and win :wub:

Black Magic and Love Me Like You are so overrated. They're good, but so so so overrated

The Leona fan in me wants 'Bleeding Love' to win but if I'm being completely honest, I want:

 

1. Love Me Like You

2. Bleeding Love

3. Move

4. Ghost

 

Ella's too overrated. Although I'll give it to her that 'Ghost' is a bit of a jam.

Finishing behind #3 due to lack of 11s, is the first song from Little Mix's second album 'Salute', which comes in 4th. 'Move' is so universally loved that even Chez gave it a 10, and if Haus gave it even 0.5 higher, it would have finished ahead of the song at #3. Either way, the first and second eras from Little Mix do feel somewhat overshadowed by how incredible the 'Get Weird' campaign has been, but I'm glad this one is still remembered so fondly. I remember upon hearing 'Move' first it was a bit of a wtf moment, it was nothing like anything off the first album, but really is the epitome of a grower. But once 'Move' works its magic on you, you can't forget it. I still stand by the opinion that 'Move' is very ahead of it's time, whilst still channeling the old school rnb feeling.
