I think the Eminem song has to be out. Buzzjack at large will not go for it.

 

I love Can We Pretend and it is the best known but I don’t remember it getting a good reception. Heartbreak Down is a bit more unknown and closer to classic Pink but people may just call it MOR Pink.

 

I’m not sure. Convince me, people.

I think peoples major gripe with Can We Pretend at first (or mine anyway) was that it wasn’t a Pink song, rather a Cash Cash song with Pink vocals that was for some reason on her album. It was jarring in comparison to the rest of the album and didn’t fit - but as a single it’s a great song.

 

It’s well known in Australia :lol: A basic feel good dance song + Pink vocals is a sure fire radio hit here lol

'Can We Pretend' was incredibly average I felt. I find it hard to imagine many people wanting to vote it unless they have no better options.

 

'Heartbreak Down' is definitely better I think, and I feel like it might be better known through being on her Greatest Hits?

 

I had to remind myself how 'Won't Back Down' sounds - it's my favourite of the 3, but yeah an Eminem song probably wouldn't be a good idea.

 

In retrospect, sorry for pushing for 'Bad Influence'; I obviously had no idea of this theme (or that it made the top 200) :lol:

I think can we pretend would be our best option here. Its more recent and was performed on tour last year

 

Heartbreak down... Maybe, but I fear its more unknown.

 

Im really torn between the two, but my gut says can we pretend

We've CONFERRED and have decided to amend the rules slightly.

 

AFs may now submit ONE of the following:

 

- An album track that charted within #76-200.

- A fully promoted* single that missed the top 75 - this can include songs that missed the chart entirely.

 

That opens things up a little more for those feeling restricted, and applies to ALL AFs! Every song in the list in post 2 is eligible + any fully promoted single that failed to chart, basically.

 

* this means no radio-only singles!

^ The expanded rules may help P!nk, but I don't know what counts.

 

'Dear Mr. President' was a 'single' that didn't chart, but I'm assuming it has to be UK singles, and it's safe to say it wasn't one. 'Glitter In The Air' was just a US Hot AC/AC radio single I believe so that's almost certainly ruled out.

 

However, there are 'Whatever You Want' and 'Secrets'. It's a stretch to say they were promoted, but they both received music videos (I believe) and remix EPs, which is about all you could expect from post-album singles that clearly wouldn't get playlist support/chart success either way. (Even in Australia where both were radio hits, they spent a while each in the iTunes chart but never actually made the official top 100, apart from 'Whatever You Want' when it was an instant grat.)

 

I'm not sure if they'd be better choices than 'Can We Pretend' or 'Heartbreak Down', but I really like 'Whatever You Want'! 'Secrets' is good too.

Heartbreak Down gets my vote here and almost certainly in round 5

If Secrets is eligible that would 100% get my vote! It was my favourite single from that era :wub:

Update:

No, they can be singles anywhere as long as it matches the criteria!

That means all the following are options:

 

Can We Pretend

Heartbreak Down

Dear Mr. President

Whatever You Want

Secrets

(Won't Back Down)

 

'Bridge Of Light' and 'Today's The Day' would probably count as singles but I doubt anyone would want them. 'Glitter In The Air' I think would be considered radio-only thus ineligible (and likewise for her various Australian radio singles).

 

'Whatever You Want' is still my favourite from the list, but 'Dear Mr. President' might be popular and well known? Or not? I have no idea.

Also wouldn’t Hurts 2B Human and Love You Anyway be eligible?

 

This opens things up a bit. Mainly to more recent Pink, which I don’t think non Pink stans on Buzzjack are here for, but it’s better than nothing.

 

We have until 6pm to make our decision. What does everyone think?

Also wouldn’t Hurts 2B Human and Love You Anyway be eligible?

Possibly, I'm not sure if they'd count as full singles or just radio ones (I didn't really pay attention to them). I don't think anyone would favour them though so it probably doesn't matter either way.

It might be worth querying about 'Glitter in the Air', it may have been a radio single in America but perhaps the Grammy performance and subsequent download release of it will make it eligible?

 

That said, 'Can We Pretend' may still have a bigger reach.

In that case, dear Mr President, whatever you want and secrets are much better options than can we pretend or heartbreak down in my opinion 🤔

Even if it were eligible, I have something else in mind for Glitter In The Air should Pink make it through.

 

I feel like we’re looking at either Dear Mr President or Secrets. Possibly Can We Pretend.

 

Either way, I’m not sure how well we’ll do. I still don’t really like this round.

Glitter in the air is a good choice :wub:

Ooo i love Secrets that would be a great choice

Dear Mr President is amazing, I’m shocked that wasn’t a massive hit! It’s definitely one of the most well remembered songs from that era for sure. Either go with that or Secrets for a more recent effort

I seem to remember it was going to be a double a side with Leave Me Alone (I’m Lonely) in the UK but at the time we’d just added loads of new download rules to the charts so I don’t think double a sides worked. LMA got the radio play and made the top 40 and did pretty well for the fifth single off a million selling album.

 

Anyway, I’ve sent Dear Mr President.

Yes :cheer:

 

She’ll likely be getting her 6th vote from me

And she did! An incredible song and far it seems a lot of others are coming to the same conclusion which is amazing :wub: Fingers crossed for another round of Pink! There’s nothing worse than being booted out of the contest before getting the chance to send many truly iconic songs but honestly (for me at least) this is one of her greatest

 

What round did Pink get to last time around?

I think she may have fallen short of the final 10. It was just infuriating to see her go out in a tie break to Zara Larsson out of everyone.

 

Looking at the list, Dear Mr President is actually one of the most known songs on there, I think and even without bias, it’s the best song put forward. I’ve listened to all of them today and some of it was excruciating to listen to for me. There’s definitely a disparity between my taste and the general Buzzjack taste which I guess is why I always think Pink is gonna lose out :lol:

 

I think even out if what I voted for, Pink aside I only really enjoyed Gaga, Madonna and Kylie.
