Remember Sydney, it’s about picking the best song out of the ones available. Those are the songs available to pick from, so you have to judge what most people would vote for!

 

I think Rudebox could stand a good chance, not sure how people judge Freedom! I think the only viable Take That choice is I’d Wait for Life

Rudebox will get him kicked out

Me yesterday:

To be honest, I can only think of one plausible Robbie/Take That song I know that might make my vote (unless someone drunkenly submits 'Bodies'... or 'Rudebox'), but maybe I'll be surprised.

So just dropping in to say I would support 'Rudebox'!

 

I knew of the song's existence and reception but had never heard it until 2018, when I was listening through a slab of songs I didn't know from Now CD tracklists for a game in the Lounge, and it certainly stood out (in a good way)! Whereas all his other songs I didn't already know that I listened to for that passed right through me. Maybe a couple other people would have the same discovery here?

'Rudebox' is one of my faves! :') I'm a fan of 'Lazy Days' too, would most likely vote for either of them.

Looks like Rudebox would be the best choice here

Remember Sydney, you're choosing the best song possible to get you through to the next round. We'll be voting for our FAVOURITES still, despite the name of the round being "worst single". It's kind of a "best of the worst".

Omg just giving Rudebox a listen as I've never heard it before.... 'dance like you've won at the Special Olympics' is a very choice phrase :/ :/

Funnily the radio edit on his greatest hits on Spotify blanks out 'special', making it sound more like they're censoring 'f***ing Olympics' :lol:

So it's the best song to get through to the next round, not necessarily the worst sing ever

 

 

Gosh !! , I do love Rudebox, would hate to go out on that song, I feel I was being disloyal to the Robster

 

Laua will be about later ( night Owl :lol: ) , I will see what she says

 

 

I know some of the TT songs but not confident enough to make a choice ....

 

 

 

:music:

I’m not too familiar with the Take That songs aside from I’d Wait for Life (which is probably too dreary to be chosen) but I’d stay away from the Mark Owen solo singles (despite me not knowing them!). I’ve had a very brief listen to the two other Take That ones but can’t see people being familiar with them or them striking a cord with anyone.

 

Rudebox is definitely the most marmite song there and it won’t be the highest voted song of the round but it might stand out enough and have its vocal supporters to attract enough voters to get through, particularly with it being a single elimination. Freedom is obviously recognisable too, and could be a safer choice but I’m not sure how people would feel with it being a cover. Lazy Days is more Robbie by numbers but would it attract enough supporters to be in the top half of their votes? Maybe, I’m not sure! I’d avoid South of the Border.

I can’t see one! There’s a rank from 2006 (!) but I couldn’t see the results. There’s the Least Favourite, not sure if that could count in the circumstances? http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=192684

 

Bottom 3:

 

=31. Freedom

=31. Rudebox

33. Lazy Days

34. South Of The Border

 

This is the Take That results from 2014

 

46. Take That - I’d Wait For Life 5.714

47. Take That - Promises 5.571

48. Mark Owen – Makin’ Out 5.571

49. Take That - Once You’ve Tasted Love 5.428

50. Mark Owen – Believe In The Boogie 4.428

 

& we can only pick a song from this list, is that correct :)

I think we should pick Rudebox Tess.

 

I love that song but "anecdotally" if you asked most people what they thought his worse song was - everyone would say Rudebox. :heart:

 

"Up your jacksy - split your kecks" :lol:

Yeah just the one song.

 

You're voting for the "best of the worst". People will be voting for their favourites off the list, not their least favourites/the worst!

Lazy Days would be my suggestion from the limited options available.

I always liked Lazy Days & would not considered it bottom list , the video they did for that song was fab but the sing was written by Guy when he was in the band called the Lemon Trees so it's not a song I would consider

 

 

Rudebox does indeed seem the best option , it's definitely worth a listen , a real grower , you either love it or hate it

 

 

 

Decision made, it's RUDEBOX

 

 

 

I have never managed the smallest of liking for Rudebox.

It does hold love or hate features in its appeal but remains one of his worst releases.

 

Here's the next round

 

 

 

ROUND 5 • WORST SINGLE

 

Hello as I make my return to hosting in AF Idol and WELCOME to ROUND 5, my personal favourite Round

 

In round 4, we lost Charli XCX and One Direction (aka Harry Styles). 18 forums remain, and everyone successfully submitted a song for round 5's worst single fun!
