December 13, 20186 yr Seeing as I can't predict as I know the outcome. Here is my preferred result... 01. Wasabi 02. Forget You Not 03. Think About Us 04. Monster In Me 05. Woman Like Me A stellar top 5 though :heart:
December 13, 20186 yr 'The Cure' definitely sounds like the sort of song people would really stan for. I don't like it quite as much but it is a strong song. I like the contrast of Perrie's simple "oohs" in the post-chorus to the snappy, powerful chorus. 'Forget You Not' is too high. I like it but there are so many highs on this album and this really isn't one of them. Find it interesting that 'Think About Us' is in the Top 5 when it being announced as a single was met with a bit of disappointment, although I guess the general opinion was that it was too safe a choice when you consider there's plenty of bold or more interesting production styles on the album. Speaking of which, I'm thrilled 'Wasabi' has made the Top 5. 'Monster in Me' being the top ballad is also very pleasing.
December 13, 20186 yr Yeah. I think the general "disappointment" was people just thinking it was a little too safe in comparison to the daring but infectious (rumoured single at the time) 'Strip'. I adore TAU though and although NMSS is a superior version of it (imo) I think this sound really works for them!
December 13, 20186 yr Author The cure 😍😍😍 deserved top 5 😭 Seeing as I can't predict as I know the outcome. Here is my preferred result... 01. Wasabi 02. Forget You Not 03. Think About Us 04. Monster In Me 05. Woman Like Me A stellar top 5 though :heart: Doing the same for obvs reasons 1. Monster in me 2. Think about us 3. Wasabi (interchangeable with TAU) 4. Forget you not 5. Woman like me
December 13, 20186 yr "The Cure" should have been top 5 over "Wasabi" :'( Want: 1. Forget You Not 2. Woman Like Me 3. Monster In Me 4. Think About Us 5. Wasabi Think: 1. Woman Like Me 2. Monster In Me 3. Wasabi 4. Forget You Not 5. Think About Us
December 13, 20186 yr Want: 01. Wasabi 02. Monster In Me 03. Woman Like Me 04. Forget You Not 05. Think About Us I feel like that could possibly be close to what the results actually look like also ;o ‘Wasabi’ seems very popular on here.
December 13, 20186 yr My personal preference would be: Forget You Not Wasabi Monster In Me Think About Us Woman Like Me I think that's pretty much in line with what will happen, except with 'Wasabi' and FYN switched.
December 13, 20186 yr What I want: 1. Think About Us 2. Wasabi 3. Forget You Not 4. Woman Like Me 5. Monster In Me What I predict: 1. Wasabi 2. Forget You Not 3. Monster In Me 4. Think About Us 5. Woman Like Me
December 13, 20186 yr Author I spilt hot chooclate all down myself so next results will now be coming within an hour but to make up for it I'll post 4 and 5 x
December 13, 20186 yr Author 05. Think About Us Average:8.82 High Scores: 11 - Xan, 10 - Ultraviolence, Theo, Jonjo, ShindyMindy, LeonaGwen, Calum & SamJudd Low Scores: 5 - Jade, 7 - Doug za02dOAnU0Y Think about us is the 2nd single afaik (tho they're really serving Reputation era levels of confusion of 2nd single atm, can my faves stop doing this) and is our opener to the top 5! I'm kinda surprised this isn't top 3 ngl, let alone missing 4th place! This is a pretty generic bop but LM do this SO well and this is easily one of the highlights on the album/an obvs single choice. This just bops so badly and I love the verses and the na-na-na part. I really hope this is massive for them if it is a single, a true highlight of LM5. Tho the ty dolla sign/rapper rumour better not be true x Also I'm lowkey surprised this only got one 11, I thought this was more people's outright fave!
December 13, 20186 yr Author 04. Woman Like Me Average: 8.92 High Scores: 10 - Theo, Liam, Joe, Harry, LeonaGwen, CardiB, Doug Low Scores: 6 - Xan fSOpiZo1BAA So dropping next is the lead single from LM5, woman like me! WLM missed the #1 spot in the charts which many expected it to grab but has acc surprisingly had really good longevity! I know this is the lead single but I'm kinda shocked it made the top 4 here (and I can see it dropping out next time we do this). For me personally, it's their weakest lead single by miles and their only lead that I don't love :( tho don't get me wrong this is still a low-key bop but I'd probs have it like 7 or 8 places lower here haha. This also features the person who we shan't speak of doing another meh rap verse and her announcement as being on the track def deflated my hype a lot before this was released. A solid single but nowhere near their best. This got no 11's but scores an average of nearly 9 as it only received one score under 8!
December 13, 20186 yr Think About Us is sfg. Was an instant fave since first listen. It's very if 'No More Sad Songs' and 'Touch' had a baby. Pleased to see it top 5 (I'm not too surprised it's higher as I believe the general consensus is that it's generic af but bops) Woman Like Me is a bop too. I get why it was pushed as a single, but I'd have preferred it not to have been the lead tbh. Although, the video is probably their best to date imo. What a video :heart:
December 13, 20186 yr Think About Us is a bop. It's just very Glory Day Platinum edition bonus track.
December 13, 20186 yr 03. Monster In Me Average: 9 High Scores: Joe, UV, Jonjo, MrLoverboy, CardiB, Juliano, SamJudd, Calum(10) Doug (11) Low Scores: Xan (5) jYYgQzidjyI Lil Xan, what's good?! I'm never one for pure pop ballads usually, like ever, even with my favourite artists. I usually prefer Lana Del Rey kind of indie pop ballads, and go to pop girls for the pops, something about them usually don't feel as sincere or something. But I was genuinely in love with this the moment I heard it. The chorus, the "Monster in me, mmmMmmMMM" post chorus and most importantly the lyrics which seem to display a kind of torn/destructive relationship which feels quite raw and melancholic. I really think this is their best ballad ever and would have made a great winter single.
December 13, 20186 yr Well, what can I say? I don't particularly like this song (even though I tried!). But I seem to be the only one that feels this way... so congrats to MIM for a top 3 position! :rolleyes:
December 13, 20186 yr Oh wow, Wasabi really is benefiting from a lot of 11s... Hopefully it received enough lower scores for Forget You Not to triumph!
December 13, 20186 yr Monster In Me is INCRED. So raw and powerful! They do the pop ballads like no other girl group imo. This, Towers, These Four Walls and Secret Love Song are all astounding. Wasabi vs Forget You Not WHO HAS WON!???
