Girls Aloud

 

4th - 0.617970235

 

First 5 Rounds: 3rd - 0.668292902

 

After a disappointing AF Idol 2.0, Jay and I knew we wanted to come back fighting this time round, and we sure did, finishing as the top girl group! We barely deviated from a planned list of entries at the start of the competition and secured two wins along the way, from No Good Advice and Call the Shots, in what was a mostly consistent performance. Sadly, the competition coincided with losing Sarah, and we opted to send Miss You Bow Wow as a tribute in round 9 as it's one of her most iconic moments. We love you Sarah, and we're delighted that Girls Aloud have redeemed themselves this time around!

The first ever winner of AF idol failed to replicate that in the sequel last year when the collaborations round cruelly threw out Brit at some point in the mid-way range! That didn't happen this time and with a few riskier choices than what people would typically expect from us, we managed to place an incredible 3rd place. Extremely happy with our placing and the way that we played the game. Very proud and so happy we were quite "brave" and got to send 'Break The Ice', 'Lonely', 'Overprotected', 'Lucky', 'And Then We Kiss' and 'Touch Of My Hand'... who knows, maybe we'll dare to send some 'Glory' tracks in the future... *eyes* Overall, a great game played. That ascent up the rankings to end the contest with a win... amazing.

Gaga vs. Madonna

 

Good vs. Evil

 

Who is gonna triumph?

 

:cheeseblock:

I’d like to see a Madonna win out of what’s left. They really sent some excellent tracks for her.

OMG THIS IS SO EXCITING

 

The first two rounds weren't very good for Brit

Argh so late to the party. What to say, what to say??

 

Yay for Taylor top 10, at 9 as I’d predicted! 9 after the first 5 rounds and held on until the end. Willow is personally a favourite so pretty sad that wasn’t appreciated more but very happy Enchanted had its moment - another top song :heart:

 

Love to see Girls Aloud so high! Voted for them in every round bar one round and it was amazing to see them do so well, especially given the tragedy part way through the completion.

 

I hope Madonna snatches this …

Incredibly pleased with how well Girls Aloud performed throughout this contest! The win with No Good Advice took me completely by surprise, and Call the Shots managing more votes than Bad Romance and Toxic was fantastic!! Lovely words in that commentary, Joseph :heart:

 

I think Britney did really well to come third! As the commentary says, us mods decided to try and send as many "not obvious" songs by her as possible - and that resulted in a couple of midtier results to start with, but then she rallied - 8 top 5s in a row :o :wub:

Just want to say how much I’ve enjoyed this and thanks to all who helped make it happen :wub:

Madonna is a woman with very good songs and she has done well in this contest! - Bra
