July 10, 20204 yr Question - were all the 0s counted when people said they didn't know the songs? :o fuck, i'm lonely is really good, and No One is one of Jess' better songs! That should've been a bigger hit for sure.
July 10, 20204 yr No-one is extremely forgettable and f**k I’m Lonely is so so so bland, happy they’re out. Just hoping for Kill The Lights to stay in as long as possible
July 10, 20204 yr Author #32 - Anne-Marie 'Her' (Avg. 4.741) High Scores: (9 - Leww, 8.5 - MrAndrewMan) Low Scores: ( 0 - Lee Wallace, Scene) LSx5zyg5bHI Anne-Marie’s most recent single release, another track to celebrate a specific day, this time Mother’s Day! This is a heart-felt piano ballad tribute to her own Mother and it is really well done! The lyrics have avoided some of the cringe we’ve previously experienced from Anne-Marie and it has turned out to be a mature effort from her. I think this is a hit in the making, it’s only an X Factor audition away from blowing up. Also my favourite ballad from either artist. #31 - Wretch 32 feat. Anne-Marie & PRGSHN 'Alright With Me' (Avg. 4.9) High Scores: (9 - George.keh 8.5 - Riser) Low Scores: ( 0 - Lee Wallace) U1ku2HDcwLw One of Anne-Marie’s first features! Not a particularly memorable one to be honest, I think Wretch 32 is the highlight of this track than Anne-Marie, this was released in 2015 which was past Wretch 32’s peak and before Anne-Marie took off so neither artist was particularly a big name to draw people in. I think this could’ve been a cute top 20 at the right time as it’s very radio friendly and pop-leaning however this has been forgotten by nearly everybody these days. #30 - Anne-Marie 'Heavy' (Avg. 4.983) High Scores: (9 - George.keh 8.5 - JosephStyles, Josh!, Calum) Low Scores: ( 0 - Lee Wallace, Dexton) ZOdltebCOX8 This was a bit of a blip in Anne-Marie’s success, only reaching #37 between the two big hitters Ciao Adios and Friends. I think this is a nice tropical bop but it doesn’t pack much of a punch to compete in the UK charts. I’m surprised it got as many low scores as it did as it is so inoffensive in my opinion.
July 10, 20204 yr Author Question - were all the 0s counted when people said they didn't know the songs? :o fuck, i'm lonely is really good, and No One is one of Jess' better songs! That should've been a bigger hit for sure. They were unfortunately! A lot of posters did leave those scores empty which I have honoured by not including them in their average but quite a few have a number of 0's in their rates which I can't discredit if it seemed like a high number. TBoy said he wanted to keep all of his 0's even though he didn't know them. Majority gave out a reasonable average of scores though.

TBoy said he wanted to keep all of his 0's even though he didn't know them. Majority gave out a reasonable average of scores though. Fair, thanks for the explanation! Can't argue with genuine 0s, everyone's got their own tastes of course, though I genuinely don't understand the logic of giving a 0 to a song you've never heard. Her is pretty sweet, though I'm glad it wasn't an official single release really. I remember hearing Alright With Me at the time and finding it decent but it's really not a song I ever think about these days! Heavy was a bad single choice but on a song level it's great :heart: I'll forever be pressed that Breathing Fire got pushed back 500 times and eventually cancelled in favour of Heavy :lol:
July 10, 20204 yr Heavy might have benefitted by having someone who could sing well singing it. And let’s face it, if I actually listened to most of those 00s chances are they’d still be 00s.
July 10, 20204 yr Me giving these last three songs 0 points and being the lowest scorer. I see no flaws in my scoring
July 10, 20204 yr Troll rates (giving 0's when you don't even know the song) aren't usually counted, are they? I chose not to rate in the end, too many new songs I didn't have the stomach to listen to :kink: Of the results so far Birthday and Don't Leave Me Alone deserve better!! The James Hype remix of Birthday is in her top 3 songs tbh

Edited July 10, 20204 yr by T Boy
July 10, 20204 yr No-One and f*** I'm Lonely are DRIVEL. Had to LOL at me giving "Her" the highest score - I was obviously gagging for a half-decent song.
July 10, 20204 yr If I could give more -1’s I would. Anne-Marie genuinely had 4 songs I wanted to give a -1 to, I can't recall any artist I've rated being that bad.
July 10, 20204 yr Author #29 - Illy feat. Anne-Marie 'Catch 22' (Avg. 5.0) High Scores: (10 - UltraBeKind, Dexton, 8 - Liam, MrAndrewMan) Low Scores: ( 0 - T-Boy) L8laCbHBOrw Time for our most random collaboration. Catch 22 is a track by Australian rapper Illy which features Anne-Marie. It was pretty successful in Australia, reaching #11 and becoming one of Illy’s best selling singles. You may know his most successful one ‘Papercuts’ featuring Vera Blue. I thought this would be a phoned-in feature but she also features in the music video alongside Illy so I’m glad she enjoyed her Australian holiday. Good of her to put in the groundwork in other countries as I’m sure that’s helped her career boost in more recent years. It’s a very ‘Australian’ sounding song and is quite juvenile in sound so I’m not surprised it didn’t do anything in the UK but it’s done decently in this rate with an average of ‘5’ exactly. Also surprise surprise this is the first time Dexton appears as a high scorer :lol: #28 - Anne-Marie 'Karate' (Avg. 5.071) High Scores: (9 - Leww 8 - George.keh, Jack) Low Scores: ( 0 - T-Boy, Lee Wallace) ouAErQiSD-U The world’s introduction to Anne-Marie, this was also the first song of hers I heard as it was entered into the Buzzjack Song Contest by Thelonia, otherwise known as poster lewistgreen, and finished in 22nd place back in 2015. This sounds very different to other songs she has released with a darker instrumental, sound and vocal effects from arcade games and Japanese counting. It’s difficult to imagine the change of sound she would have since then. I’m hoping she will become a bit more experimental with her music as this was a really exciting debut back in the day. I think this struggled a bit due to not being known as well and therefore receiving some default lower scores as I’ve only heard good things from Buzzjack posters about this song and it does represent a different side to Anne-Marie that others may not know about. Fun fact Anne-Marie also is a black belt in karate having trained most of her childhood in the martial art!
July 10, 20204 yr For me it just distorts the scores unnecessarily - of course it's not serious and this is just a bit of fun but it's a shame that scores like that could have actually changed some results! That's why if I didn't know a song, I'd leave it blank, or I'd actually listen to it - because you never know what discoveries you could make. Karate was the first Anne-Marie song I heard! Would never have called that I'd become such a fan, as I quite like it but it's faaaaaar from her best (and musically very far from what she'd go on to release of course).

Agreed- seems a little unfair to me if you don’t even give the songs a chance- you may enjoy the writing, production etc even if you know you don’t like their voice!
July 10, 20204 yr Yeah, it’s Jess Glynne and Anne Marie, there are really no ‘discoveries’ to make. An extra 0 here and there won’t distort results, most of these songs wouldn’t have been much higher. I did say you could do what you want with my 0s so feel free to do a recount if this is actually that important to you.
