In what was his first top 10 hit in 2008, Taio Cruz slips out with 'Come On Girl' which has Luciana on featured vocals who you would know from the Bodyrox track and some will currently know via BJSC this month. Taio would get 2 UK #1's to his name the next year and following year respectively. Also another one fallen to Bob who continues to chug along and it wasn't even close between him and Taio this round.

 

8th Taio Cruz Ft Luciana - Come On Girl (18/37 Votes) [48.65%]

9th Rihanna - Russian Roulette (12/33 Votes) [36.36%]

10th Sugababes & Girls Aloud - Walk This Way (13/35 Votes) [37.14%]

 

Vote Your Least Fave!

I understood the dated feel of 'Come On Girl' but I quite liked that personally (and Rihanna too) and didn't know until this survivor started how disliked it kinda was oops.

 

The list of my top half preferences is sliding with some mid songs for me left. Sticking with the nice but bland 'Heartbeats' but 'Foolish' really isn't all that for me neither. (and not a classic Oasis song here either oop)!

I've just realised there isn't one song left here I properly *love* (although a couple I am fond of)

Swapping to Ashanti now.

Bob

Heartbeats for me too x

Sugababes is definitely my least favourite now. Boring song with playground level lyrics.

Heartbeats but only because I don’t know it. If it was that good I’d have remembered it!

boo at my fave of the lot (Heartbeats) set to leave now, I've gone for Sugababes again anyway

Another vote for Heartbeats as it's on a level with Bob for me in that it does very little for me (but in a different way). The Knife's original is a blinding track though.

 

I quite liked Jose's cover of Hand On Your Heart though, a lot of acoustic or slow covers of SAW tracks show that, at their core, they are super well written pop songs.

I’d rather Bob went than Heartbeats; think Jose’s cover works really well and I still hear it in the wild sometimes.

 

Ahhh come on we can't be getting rid of Heartbeats over Bob, that's a bridge too far.

'Heartbeats' is comfortably my favourite on this list (I knew it before the original The Knife version so that may help, I do love the original too but I think José's version just has that extra something to it), shame it looks like it won't be making the top half as there's still a couple of pretty mid songs left.

I'm amazed Craig David in particular has received zero votes. I'm a big fan of his but even I would admit this particular track is pretty damn bland and would be my next choice after Bob.

Am I now having to go from voting to save Bob to voting Bob to save Heartbeats (the best song there by a long way)?

José Gonzáles - Heartbeats

She isn't in this one :kink:

Nooo Heartbeats :cry: That's comfortably the best here, absolutely beautiful cover of an already excellent song. Sorry Bob, but this is for the greater good x
