Bit of a limp week this week but Cuntissimo for the win I guess!

Ooh, none of those songs are that good.

I went for Callum Hood.

Another great pop/dance song from Louise this week.

Was a bit disappointed by Marina’s after the first two singles, but might grow. Same for Sugababes.

But why does Marina appear in both the Pop and Indie versions of this poll?

Having listened to the song before I created this poll I thought she belonged in a pop poll but WhoOdyssey considered her to be an indie artist still. Either way, we both accept there will be a crossover at times. Last week both polls featured Rachel Chinouriri.

Calum Hood for me of course x

MARINA song great too though.

CUNTISSIMO

Voted for Sugababes this week, the trip-hop direction was an unexpected but pleasant surprise

CUNTISSIMO

Went for Garbage, with Sugababes 2nd and Calum Hood 3rd.

Louise's song is decent, very early 2010s.

Not really a big fan of MARINA's after liking her first 2 singles.

The rest of the song are just OK, nothing really great from the list.

MARINA

Weeds

Cuntismo!

Garbage are def an indie act for me!
