A song should not be judged based on its lyrics alone :whistle:

Results

 

 

50. Rihanna - S&M

 

Average score - 5.274

 

Writers - Mikkel S. Eriksen, Tor Erik Hermansen, Sandy Wilhelm, Ester Dean

Top scores : 11 - detonate, 10 - Nick F1, Alex!, George.keh, Scene, danG, Campbell

Low scores : -1 - Chez Wombat, dandy*, King Rollo, Bré

 

This is the song that finished 25th in the first semi-final, just one point ahead of Pride by U2, so it's not a surprise to see it finish in last place in the final. It spent three weeks at number 3 in 2011.

 

 

 

Results starting well then!

Yes, I'm pleased to see one of the worst songs in the final list leaving first.

The 2 best things about S&M were:

 

- The bizarre radio friendly version called "Come On" with half the lyrics missing, a bit like "Wet Wet Wet" recently :lol:

- The equally bizarre and pointless duet version with Britney

The worst song finishing last, we like to see it! (I'm not sure I quite dislike it enough to really be worthy of a -1, probably more of a 2-3/10, but thought I might as well use one for my least fave x)

49. Mylo vs Miami Sound Machine - Doctor Pressure

 

Average score - 5.877

 

Writers - Myles MacInnes, Enrique E Garcia

Top scores : 10 - Grandwicky, Chez Wombat, Nick F1, dandy*, Chapman, Mango, Simon, danG, Bré

Low scores : -1 - chartjack2, 0 - Leonardo, xajnipi, Scene, Borza

 

From 2005, this was a mashup of Dr Beat by Miami Sound Machine which reached number 6 in 1984 and Drop The Pressure by Mylo which got to number 19 in 2004.

 

ugh I’d have given Mylo 10 if I’d known it’d be second last otherwise (it probably made no difference)

 

boo at S&M finishing last too

48. Shania Twain - That Don't Impress Me Much

 

Average score - 5.915

 

Writers - Robert John "Mutt" Lange, Shania Twain

Top scores : 11 - West, 10 - ready for it, Bjork, Simon

Low scores : -1 - xajnipi, 0 - Shaky1981, Borza

 

This was Shania Twain's fourth top 40 hit. It was also the biggest selling single from 1999 not to reach number 1.

 

'That Don't Impress Me Much' impressed me very much. I thought I gave it a 10 but it must have been a 9!

 

Sad to see 'Doctor Pressure' finishing so low.

S&M is a good pop song. Loud is Rihanna's best album.

Doctor Pressure was pretty good but that's about the right place for Shania Twain.

The kind of person who doesn't like music for children or for adults with Peter Pan syndrome :hic:

 

... WHAT?!

S&M is a good pop song. Loud is Rihanna's best album.

Completely agree. Why can't all your posts be that accurate?

Not sure how S&M made it this far, I wasn't even aware it was particularly well thought of here. It's aged absolutely terribly and stood out like a sore thumb on that list. Yay for Shania Twain going out too, hugely overrated song and I've always felt like it's just me that thinks that x

 

Doctor Pressure on the other hand doesn't deserve to be that low, still a tune D:

 

As an adult with Peter Pan syndrome, Together in Electric Dreams for the win :yahoo:

They say you learn something new every day - today I’ve learned what Peter Pan syndrome is.

 

I like Shania generally but not keen on TDIMM. Mylo on the other hand deserved better - as mash-ups go it’s a very clever one indeed.

'That Don't Impress Me Much' is good for a country song but that's not saying a lot coming from me!

 

Disappointing result for 'Doctor Pressure' but not surprising as I did notice it getting a fair handful of low scores :(

Completely agree. Why can't all your posts be that accurate?

All my posts are accurate.

I think U2 will fare better in the #4s rate next year!
