  • Agreed - great choice from whoever is behind Haim. I also feel the need to shout out whoever is behind ABBA for sending songs that aren't completely obvious - they're still not my favourite band in t

  • Note for this category: unfortunately Girlicious did not submit their song choice in time, so their song was selected at random from their This Is... playlist on Spotify! #BeKind x

  • Flashbacks to the Robbie AF getting ‘Me and My Monkey’ as their randomised AF Idol pick

Never ever heard of Girlicious before this but they’re sounding iconic to me, even with a randomly sent song. Queens!

Girlicious very much feeling like the Kandy Rain of the Groups louis3

Saying that Over You is a bit of a bop

I just meant from an obviously first out POV 🤭

I remember them being vocally pretty bad... but then I just remembered that was Jedward's year. Also Lloyd Daniels and Rikki Loney... maybe you're right 🤣

But still Stacey Soloman, Rachel ADEDEJI, Lucie Jones, Joe McElderry, Jamie Archer, Miss Frank etc were fairly good.

Views from the Electro Jury

01 The Corrs - I Never Loved You Anyway

02 Ace of Base - Beautiful Life

03 The 1975 - Love Me

04 Florence + the Machine - Queen of Peace

05 Atomic Kitten - If You Come to Me

06 Blondie - Hanging On the Telephone

07 The Chicks - Not Ready to Make Nice

08 Erasure - So the Story Goes

09 Girlicious - Over You

10 Scissor Sisters - Take Your Mama

11 HAIM - I Know Alone

12 ABBA - Hole in Your Soul

A strong-ish set of songs. I think this is making me realise that I didn't really like any of the Scissor Sisters' big hits. Girlicious was actually surprisingly ok. I'd forgetten about that Atomic Kitten song... and also that Corrs song too!

12 Girlicious - Over You

Forgot how much I enjoyed 'I Know Alone' and 'Queen of Peace' (I blame associating the latter with Michael's Queef of Peace username), great picks indeed <3

01 The Chicks - Not Ready to Make Nice (top marks as I want them to get through to the next round and this is an incredible song)

02 The Corrs - I Never Loved You Anyway (underrated single, 'yeah I'm delighted you're moving away' - very Alanis)

03 Ace of Base - Beautiful Life

04 Florence + the Machine - Queen of Peace (I had also forgotten about how much I like this one)

05 Scissor Sisters - Take Your Mama

06 Blondie - Hanging On the Telephone

07 Atomic Kitten - If You Come to Me

08 HAIM - I Know Alone

09 ABBA - Hole in Your Soul

10 The 1975 - Love Me

11 Erasure - So the Story Goes

12 Girlicious - Over You (poor girls, this is ok but for me was a PCD b-side)

Strong group, the top six is brilliant.

And for my votes, we have:

01 Ace of Base - Beautiful Life (fave)

02 Scissor Sisters - Take Your Mama

03 Blondie - Hanging On the Telephone

04 Erasure - So the Story Goes

05 Florence + the Machine - Queen of Peace

06 Atomic Kitten - If You Come to Me

07 The Corrs - I Never Loved You Anyway

08 The 1975 - Love Me

09 Girlicious - Over You

10 The Chicks - Not Ready to Make Nice

11 HAIM - I Know Alone

12 ABBA - Hole in Your Soul (least fave, soz)

The top 3 are bonafide pop classics and were always gonna be untouchable, but the Erasure song was a very good discovery! I'm surprised I didn't know it as I have heard the album it's from (which also contains one of my absolute favourite Erasure songs so we'll see if it makes an appearance soon). I'm not a huge fan of Florence but that song just happens to be one of three songs I really like from her. The Girlicious and Chicks songs were marginal improvements from the ones sent in the Earth round. The Abba risk paid off in the Earth round but this one just didn't do anything for me, sorry to whoever sent it.

01 Ace of Base - Beautiful Life (that choir at the end wub, it just makes me happy!!!)

02 The Chicks - Not Ready to Make Nice (amazing and could easily be applied to current political climate)

03 Atomic Kitten - If You Come to Me (Guilty pleasure)

04 The Corrs - I Never Loved You Anyway

05 Scissor Sisters - Take Your Mama

06 HAIM - I Know Alone

09 ABBA - Hole in Your Soul

10 The 1975 - Love Me

11 Atomic Kitten - If You Come to Me

12 Girlicious - Over You

Easily my favourite selection overall. That's probably my least favourite song on Talk On Corners but it's such a good album. The ABBA one was a bit too reminiscent of their pre-'SOS' early stuff which I'm less keen on.

01 HAIM

02 Girlicious

03 Atomic Kitten

04 Ace Of Base

05 The Corrs

06 Florence + The Machine

07 Blondie

08 The Chicks

09 Scissor Sisters

10 Erasure

11 ABBA

12 The 1975

Loved that HAIM song, hadn't heard it before so a nice discovery. I unapologetically love both Girlicious and Atomic Kitten too lmao

Everything else was decent but I hate to say it but ABBA has never really been my thing, same with The 1975 tbh

  1. Blondie - A cover that is more regarded than the original! What a song !! 

  2. The Corrs - This song really reminded of Natalie Imbruglia 

  3. The Chicks - A new discovery !!! 😍 ❤️Love this!! 

  4. Haim - A new discovery 😍

  5. Atomic Kitten 

  6. 1975 

  7. Scissor Sisters 

  8. Ace Of Base 

  9. Erasure 

  10. Florence and the machine

  11. Girlicious 

  12. ABBA

Not with combined votes I don't think, I'd say Girlicious have an uphill struggle given The Chicks have sent a very strong second round song.

Always loved that The Chicks song. The strings wub! One of my favourite Atomic Kitten songs. Another fantastic entry from Blondie. Appreciate The Corrs choice, not a favourite though. Another nice discovery from ABBA for me! Girlicious with another bop! I enjoy this Scissor Sisters song. A nice HAIM track. Ace of Base is good but really repetitive and kinda grates the longer it goes on. The Erasure song is meh. I wish I liked Florence's voice coz the song is nice. The 1975... no thank you.
