I only listen to the 3 main singles and Into you. The rest I find really sub par. I'd say the highs on Melanie C are top notch but it's a chore the rest of it. The sea is definitely more consistent and obviously NS.

 

I'd rank it along side BI and VOM in the middle of her catalogue. TT, Reason and Stages bottom tier.

I'm feeling very lazy, would you guys prefer the Top 7 to be revealed in one post (pleaseee :heart: ) or do you still want them one at a time? :blush:

Do whatever is best and easiest for you hun :magic:

One at a time you lazy bitch!! Just do it more regularly than stringing it out! :P

hey chicos,

 

 

Let Jay do it at his own pace!

One at a time, please. Things have to be done properly. :cool:

Just stick the 7 out make life easier for yourself.

One post will be just fine! *.*

 

No major losses in the results so far! Wasn't expecting Self Love to be out first though.

One at a time you lazy bitch!! Just do it more regularly than stringing it out! :P

 

 

Weave :cheeseblock:

OMG everybody demanding Jay gives you MORE! GIMME MORE!! LEAVE JAY ALONE!?!?!?

 

 

OMG everybody demanding Jay gives you MORE! GIMME MORE!! LEAVE JAY ALONE!?!?!?

 

You’d best know I’m joking bitch!! B-)

 

Results resuming tomorrow, hold me to it x

7th - 7.324 - Here I Am

 

Highest Scores: 10 - Voodoo | 9 - Babyboy, SouthernStar88, Vibe

Lowest Scores: 3 - engineer | 4 - Mr.X

 

 

Here I Am achieved the same average score as Nowhere to Run, but places higher in the results due to the fact the highest score it received is a 10, compared to Nowhere to Run's highest score being 9.

 

------------------------------------------------------------

 

6th - 8.088 - Good Enough

 

Highest Scores: 10 - JosephStyles, spiceboy | 9.5 - Jay

Lowest Scores: 6 - Babyboy, Mr.X | 6.5 - SouthernStar88

 

Good Enough did not need to pop off as much as it does :cheeseblock:

I'm going to step away from trying to write commentary, but I'll still share some of my thoughts about the songs, and I certainly welcome your comments!

 

I really like how defiant Here I Am is - not just lyrically, but also in the tone of singing. I feel like she's asserting that she knows she is worthy of her place in the music industry, and that the passion that she has for music is strong enough for her to persevere in an industry that isn't always very supportive of her. I appreciate how she references ageism very directly in the lyric "They said I was too old [...] but I'm on fire.". G'won Melanie :heart:

 

Good Enough - Joseph summed it up... what a bop! :cheeseblock: I find it quite interesting lyrically. It seems to be about a toxic relationship, one in which she's not sure whether to try and rectify it or cut her losses.

If there was to be another single from the album, I would definitely go with Here I Am. Open the era with Who I Am and close it with Here I Am. :music:

 

The tribal sounds in it are something she has never explored in a single before. Radio 2 would love it, and it could provide a nice concept for a video.

I'd go with Good enough if she did another single it sounds MADE for radio such a BOP!

Other than a couple of songs it's not an album I've gone back to since the big November releases took over and overshadowed it in my eyes & ears =\ but these two are two of my favourites on the album alongside WIA and BIOM.

I also don't understand the appeal of Overload, which for me is in the league of Fearless.
