First 5 Rounds: 2nd - 0.674438455

 

Rihanna manages to finish 7th this time around (she finished 2nd last time). A very successful 1st half with a more mixed 2nd half. 'Fire Bomb' being the major surprise underperformer for her I think. The song did great the first time it was sent... I don't understand why it wasn't as well received this time around?! Baffling. 'Never Ending' was a rather random, but inspired, choice. It's interesting that Rihanna herself won round 5, but unfortunately it was sent by the Calvin forum, so it doesn't count towards her total! Looking like Rihanna hits or misses with BJ! I'm sure she'll be fine and come firing back, all guns blazing next time!

Omg Katy Floppy :cheeseblock:

 

Taylor would have got higher had she sent Safe and Sound and State of Grace and Red songs.

Quite pleased with both sets of results for Rihanna and Katy to be honest but yes! Some of those results for Katy are very strange imo. It was fun taking part in my first AF IDOL! and I look forward to the next one. Congrats to everyone and all the work they've out into their forums this far this year.

Rihanna is one of my all time fave artists... huge discography to choose from though, definitely not sure about Never Ending and Fire Bomb.

 

Spice Girls

Spiceboy and I initially planned to only send solo songs... but that plan quickly went out the window! :lol:

 

This year is the first time we've sent some Emma songs. Her #1 hit What Took You So Long? started things off, ending up a few points adrift of the top half of the scoreboard. However, the fan favourite single Maybe was well received, and really outperformed my expectations by placing 5th! That's the result I was most happy with. We also turned to Melanie C, using her very first song When You're Gone and her most recent release Touch Me! As for the group songs - Viva Forever performed the best overall, finishing 4th and attracting 75% of voters. Their other singles all finished in the top half. A consistent performance overall, so I'm delighted with this 6th place finish! :wub:

Spice Girls not top 5 is a bloody shame, Buzzjackers work in your taste for the next time (this really should be the last edition of AF idol tbh after 3 years in a row with the same AFs it had its run and it’s becoming stale )

I thought Spice Girls would have been a little higher than that.

Or maybe Spice Girls should release more new music as a group :P

What Took You So Long shoulda come top 10

Glad to see Viva Forever and When You're Gone placing so high in their respective rounds. Both wonderful songs.

Or maybe Spice Girls should release more new music as a group :P

If only :cry:

 

i wonder where spice girls would have finished if we got a different song round 1?

I guess we'd have ended up below Rihanna if we'd sent something that performed worse than What Took You So Long, and I think if we'd sent something that did better, we'd have likely still come 6th because there's quite a leap up to 5th place's average score - which I will reveal in a moment *.*

 

Sugababes

First 5 Rounds: 6th - 0.636630728

 

Sugababes have made a triumphant comeback to BuzzJack's artist forums this year - and their first time taking part in AF Idol has resulted in an excellent outcome of 5th place! A selection of well loved Sugababes hit singles and fan favourite album tracks provided them with consistently strong results - just look at that run of Top 5 finishes in the final four rounds! In my opinion, one of the most memorable moments of the contest is Medevac by Siobhan Donaghy being sent - this is an album track, but it was sent in a round that mostly included singles. A slight risk, but nevertheless achieved a commendable 16th in a highly competitive round. Solo representation also came in the form of Mutya's big hit single Song 4 Mutya. Well done, Sugababes forum!

Way better than I was expecting! Very pleased with how we did. Thanks everyone who helped us pick with their suggestions and comments and poll votes and then also thanks to everyone who voted for us in some very tough rounds!!

They didn't even send the best songs (Overload and Too Lost in You) :cheeseblock:
