May 28, 20205 yr Author ty Jonjo for prepping the above post :heart: glad All Too Well did well for Taylor <3 the end of Robbie! the end of an era aha and Girls Aloud plummeting this time round after coming 3rd in AF Idol: Volume 1 :o
May 28, 20205 yr Most of you really did Girls Aloud dirty! :cry: Tangled Up is a masterpiece and that extends to Crocodile Tears. Oop! Farewell! :cry:
May 28, 20205 yr I didn't vote for those two that we lost but Robbie came 10th while GA were last for me this round :kink:
May 28, 20205 yr Wasn't expecting Girls Aloud to go :o Thought they might have been a bit more popular this round than some of the newer artists. Farewell Robbie/Take That, they've had a good round! Who would have thought they'd beat Beyonce this time around!
May 28, 20205 yr I'm surprised and not about the GA result. There was nothing to that song at all and elimination absolutely deserved, but shocked it actually left!
May 28, 20205 yr 20 votes, thanks guys :lol: , it was good while it lasted , not bad reaching round 7 -_-
May 28, 20205 yr Does final single of an era include final singles of a standard era like 'The One That Got Away' even though there was a deluxe edition?
May 28, 20205 yr Does final single of an era include final singles of a standard era like 'The One That Got Away' even though there was a deluxe edition? TOTGA has already been used anyway
May 28, 20205 yr Does final single of an era include final singles of a standard era like 'The One That Got Away' even though there was a deluxe edition? Full eras only, so TOTGA doesn't count! The only exception (that I know of anyway?) is Gaga with The Fame / The Fame Monster, which were effectively two separate releases in most of the world despite a combined release in the UK.
May 28, 20205 yr Crocodile Tears was awful, GA absolutely deserved to go (shocked they actually did though :o).
May 28, 20205 yr inevitable result but shame our last remaining underdog hope is gone :( WD Robbie/TT on getting this far though who do i stan for now?? :thinking:
May 28, 20205 yr Awww Robbie outdid expectations and it’s made me revisit some of my favourites of his. I was a stan of his as a kid during the mid-2000s (yes, including Rudebox!) and No Regrets was particularly a fantastic rediscovery :wub: Would have been interesting to see how it would have faired in another main singles/free choice round but ah well, this round would have always been tricky for the forum! Although it passed some big obstacles, wouldn’t have expected from the outset for the forum to go through with Rudebox as a choice!!
May 28, 20205 yr Full eras only, so TOTGA doesn't count! The only exception (that I know of anyway?) is Gaga with The Fame / The Fame Monster, which were effectively two separate releases in most of the world despite a combined release in the UK. LoveGame has already been sent, so I guess that gets rid of that slight confusion too ^_^ For the record, I definitely see The Fame / The Fame Monster as two separate entities, no matter how the charts and streaming services tag them x
