I used to love 'The Silence' but I think 'Perfect' would've been a much better single option considering it was a deluxe edition track.

 

It's a shame 'Before It Explodes' with Bruno never materialised, officially! That could've been huge.

Poor Leon Jackson :(

Sorry for this late reaction because I'm currently reading back this topic, I've watched back series 4 on YouTube this weekend and I don't understand why he did win. He was mediocre certainly after Leona won the previous year.

Agreed. Same Difference, and Niki were robbed :cry:

Thank god you don't mention Rhydian :lol:

 

Anyway I've read the whole topic back and some really good songs are way too low like BSE ,One Thing and Kiss You from 1D and Leonas Run.

The Silence is incredible. My favourite song from her entire discography and it is so under appreciated

The Silence and Dear Darlin' are both stunners :heart:

 

And on Burke's era I actually think they got it SPOT ON especially because The Silence got an XF performance and it wouldn't have got one if it was released earlier.

#30 | Olly Murs - 'My Heart Skips a Beat' (AVG. 7.92) (feat. Rizzle Kicks)

 

Another not half bad Olly Murs track, this time featuring Rizzle Kicks. Since this song was released, Rizzle Kicks broke with big success, having a huge first era, but have now already faded into irrelevancy.

 

 

 

#29 | JLS - 'She Makes Me Wanna' (feat. DEV) (AVG. 7.94)

 

The last JLS song in the rate misses the top 25, and how unjust. 'She Makes Me Wanna', is a certified banger and would easily be within my top 10 of the songs from this rate, it was so close to getting an 11 from me! Sure, this is elevated but Dev's genius verse, but it's also easily, JLS' most infectious chorus and is unlike anything they did otherwise. It still sounds phresh today.

 

 

#28 |Leona Lewis - 'Forgive Me' (AVG. 7.97)

 

This has done a lot better than I expected, there's always been a somewhat muted response to Leona's 'Forgive Me', which lead her first era re-release, but I've loved it since I first heard it. It's a shame it's underwhelming chart performance (which would look amazing for Leona right now), meant she never really did pop-rnb after this, but it remains a very fun pop song!

 

 

 

#27 |Olly Murs - 'Kiss Me' (AVG. 7.97)

 

We lost 1D's Kiss You a few songs ago and now we lose my favourite Olly Murs track 'Kiss Me'. As a fan of 80s style production, this always appealed to me, and while I'd have liked to have seen it within the top 25, we do have two Olly Murs songs remaining, 'Troublemaker' and 'Dance With Me Tonight'. Which will finish higher? :o

 

 

 

#26 |Leona Lewis - 'I Got You' (AVG. 7.98)

 

'I Got You' is sensational. Leona may have tried to make us forget about this powerful number, by recording another, far inferior song called 'I Got You' last year, but Buzzjack clearly remember this song well. It was so close to an 8 average, and so close to the top 25. It's very apt that everything within the top 25 has scored a minimum of an 8 average.

It's great to see JLS in the top 30, used to love that one a lot in particular :wub: (well I still do but not as much)

 

HSAB is a great track (and Rizzle Kicks :D) it doesn't sound as great today as it did years ago though :(

Forgive Me is an absolute jam, glad to see it do so well! Would have liked to have seen She Makes Me Wanna and Kiss Me go top 25 too, HSAB a bit to high for me

I Adore Forgive Me.

Amazed that 'I Got You' got a great placing in the top 30! Such a beautiful & powerful ballad. One of my faves from her!

I Got You is definitely my favourite Leona song, so incredibly brilliant

Glad to see JLS completely gone :D Wish Leona hadn't lost 2 songs though, I love both tracks and they both deserved more than what they got chart wise. Swap Broken Heels for The Silence and that would be the perfect top 3 Alexandra songs left in.

Predicting: Sax, Wings, Broken Heels, Night Changes, Once, Troublemaker, and maybe a Leona song out in the next couple of batches

'I Got You' i've always liked from Leona, it's such an interesting song structurally and the chorus always feels disjointed but right at the same time (if that makes sense :lol:). 'Kiss Me' is fabulous too and my second favourite from Olly!

 

 

Lol, bye JLS.

That section being posted made me realise that I've never seen the video for 'The Silence' before. :o Ella's 'Yours' is a beauty. I'm still amused by the default image for the 'Glitterball' video. :kink: 'Kiss You' is one of 1D's very best songs. :heart: What a great section overall. :wub:

 

The section afterwards is amazing too. I'm thrilled that 'I Got You' is this high! It always seems so underappreciated to me. As does 'Forgive Me'. Quite surprised to see 'Kiss Me' this high actually, but it's definitely one of Olly's best. I prefer 'My Heart Skips a Beat' though - the first Olly single I really liked. Glad that 'She Makes Me Wanna' is the highest JLS song!

I'm glad that, even though Leona has lost two songs just now, they were 'Forgive Me' and 'I Got You' and not 'Happy' or OMS. FM is great but I much prefer the Labyrinth tour version. 'I Got You' is okay but in my opinion the weakest song on Echo.

 

If 'Better In Time' beats 'Happy', 'One More Sleep' or 'Bleeding Love' I wouldn't like it. :lol:

'Better In Time' is amaze! Always has been one of my faves from 'Spirit' and the single mix is wonderful :wub:
