I imagine hearing it for the first time does have a note of dated to it though.I felt like that with Come Alive in the last round, that the dubstep hadn’t aged well because I’m not all that familiar with Glassheart but if you played me Hold It Against Me, I’d get my life to the same thing because I have nostalgia for it. I did listen to the Echo album quite a bit and Outta My Head in particular so I have a different attachment to that sound with it.I agree with that now, but I definitely didn’t have that mindset when I first listened to it, because I’d never heard the song before. And I think that makes a HUGE difference when there’s a nostalgia factor involved!!!I
16 hours ago16 hr YOU AIN’T SLICK, @Scene I KNEW (& hoped) YOU WERE OUTTA YOUR HEAD!!!My 2 cents, this is a “should’ve been single” so for me, if it sounds of it’s time… then that doesn’t bother me so much in the context of things in this round tbh.I haven’t yet heard the Kate Bush song but would that still be a hit a few years after, outside her peak? I doubt it. Doesn’t mean it wouldn’t have made a great single choice/is a good song etc..TFJ will get it’s moment… but ‘Teen Idle’ is a great choice too.

I'm more meaning that the 2010s aren't that long ago, so if you haven't heard songs from that time already (as Addy hadn't with Outta My Head) then I could understand that Only Girl In The World dance-pop sound feeling like it hasn't aged the best yet.But I'd imagine a lot of voters WILL know and be familiar with Outta My Head (like myself) and will therefore have fond memories of it, so the familiarity will help it to mean that "how well it's aged" does feel positively nostalgic. It's obviously the best choice for Leona, I don't think anyone could deny that and it SHOULD'VE been a single for sure.

16 hours ago16 hr Omg one of my all time fave Marina songs, solidified by that one time she thought it was appropriate to sing it in front of a group of children at their school 😭
1 hour ago1 hr 01= Leona Lewis - Outta My Head (fave)02 = Jessie Ware - The Kill03 = Sophie Ellis-Bextor - New York City Lights04 = Agnes - Loaded05 = Adele - Can I Get It06 = Robyn - Time Machine07 = Kate Bush - Reaching Out08 = MARINA - Teen Idle09 = Dido - Mary’s in India10 = Zara Larsson - Blue Moon Leona an easy 1st place here, this is making me realise I like more of her songs than I realised! Jessie, Sophie and Agnes were good picks too and Adele and Robyn were decent too. Kate and Marina I thought were ok, but not as strong as the top 6. The bottom 2 I wasn’t massively keen on; I was actually thinking about other Dido album tracks and was thinking ‘Slide’ would be good, but then I just listened to it and it wasn’t actually as good as I remembered it being (oops). I think this series is making me realise that I’m just not really a Zara fan; some of her features are good though (Symphony, Never Forgot You etc).
