Michael Jackson – You Are Not Alone

Robbie Williams – Somethin' Stupid

Ariana alongside all those Big Legends, yikes

She's clearly got a brigade going and doesn't need my vote...but I did vote Kylie this time.

Definitely ‘Spinning Around’ - first time voting for Kylie! :o ‘Take Me to the Clouds Above’ second (wouldn’t count this as a number one for U2 though) and ‘Something Stupid’ third.

Kylie!

Kylie, the only decent one, the rest are appalling

U2 – Take Me to the Clouds Above [FAVE - but not really because of them!]

Elton John – Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word {Blue feat. Elton} [love the song in either version]

Kylie Minogue – Spinning Around [really great early 00s pop track]

Michael Jackson – You Are Not Alone [nice ballad, very dramatic]

Robbie Williams – Somethin' Stupid [pretty decent duet as far as they go]

Sam Smith – Writing's on the Wall [the best bond theme but most of them suck tbf]

Jess Glynne – Don't Be So Hard on Yourself [not bad but don't really revisit it]

Justin Bieber – I'm the One [never was a big fan, Bieber's parts are the only good parts]

Ariana Grande – Break Up with Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored [bang average]

George Michael – Somebody To Love {from "Five Live"} [unnecessary Queen cover]

Tinie Tempah – Crazy Stupid Love [dreadful]

McFly – Don't Stop Me Now [rather pull my ears off]

Spinning around by Kylie of course....

 

Iconic Gold Hotpants Spinning Around.

Finally a great kylie song

 

How did TOMP get through lol

Edited November 9, 20204 yr by vibe

Difficult one this week... 'Spinning Around' was such a big comeback single for Kylie. Robbie & Nicole's 'Something Stupid' was a really lovely version. McFly's 'Don't Stop Me Now' was a great cover. But this is literally the only time I'll go for Sam Smith in these polls. 'Writing's On The Wall' is my favourite Sam Smith single and one of my favourite Bond themes!

U2's only multi-week #1 and they're merely sampled on it :lol:

Voted Jess Glynne, for me that's her best song.

Voted for Ariana again - another pretty bad list :lol:

 

01. Ariana Grande – Break Up with Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored

02. U2 – Take Me to the Clouds Above

03. Kylie Minogue – Spinning Around

04. Jess Glynne – Don't Be So Hard on Yourself

05. Michael Jackson – You Are Not Alone

06. Justin Bieber – I'm the One

07. Robbie Williams – Somethin' Stupid

08. George Michael – Somebody To Love {from "Five Live"}

09. Sam Smith – Writing's on the Wall

10. Elton John – Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word {Blue feat. Elton}

11. McFly – Don't Stop Me Now

12. Tinie Tempah – Crazy Stupid Love

I think I'll go for Kylie this time but MJ, Robbie and Jess all come close.

 

Ranking.

 

Kylie

Michael Jackson

Robbie & Nicole

Jess Glynne

George Michael

Elton & Blue

Ariana Grande

U2

McFly

Justin Bieber

Sam Smith

Tinie Tempah

 

Don't rate any of the last three as they are all mediocre imo.

 

Wow this is looking like quite the landslide for 'Spinning Around' :o

Spinning Around by far.

Voted U2 this time.

Gone for Ariana this time but this is Kylie's best song included so far so not mad at it landsliding (between that and Jess Glynne for my 2nd fave here).

 

RIP my 4 for 4 streak of voting for the winner but still could go 5 for 5 on my vote advancing as Ariana is currently 2nd (although only just).

Kylie.

Kylie, Spinning Around.
