September 10, 200816 yr Not deserved over Bleeding Love AT ALL. :/ Or About You Now. Shame, but then the people who went were from the PJ forums so it was basically the GA Appreciation Society.
September 10, 200816 yr I pretty much despite that song if I'm honest, it's so bland by their standards and I was mystified by it's success.
September 10, 200816 yr it's subtle electro-pop and very mature, it's not as 'in-yer-face' as their other material but I think that's what makes it so special...a truly brilliant pop song :wub: having said that, I like Bleeding Love that little bit more, and would have preferred that to win

Lol I'm even not surprised by this kind of childish reaction :lol: There were 30 judges and most of them are NOT PJ forumers, but people who read the website and only applied to be a judge...

I'm no GA fan, but Call The Shots is by far the best thing they've ever come out with. I'm ALMOST OK with the mad hype over it. Lol I'm even not surprised by this kind of childish reaction :lol: There were 30 judges and most of them are NOT PJ forumers, but people who read the website and only applied to be a judge... Still associated with Popjustice which DOES have a horrific GA bias. Didn't Wake Me Up and Something Kinda Ooh win in previous years...you can't honestly expect me to believe they were also geniunely the best pop songs of the year.
September 10, 200816 yr There were forumers there, and I'm perfectly entitled to my opinion. Everybody knows the people of PJ bum GA something crazy.

SKO lost out too Amy Winehouse - Rehab I think... :unsure:
September 10, 200816 yr Omg, irony? They've won four times and yet the best song of all of theirs to be nominated lost out!
September 10, 200816 yr Omg, irony? They've won four times and yet the best song of all of theirs to be nominated lost out! FOUR TIMES? That really is just ridiculous.
September 10, 200816 yr Author Omg, irony? They've won four times and yet the best song of all of theirs to be nominated lost out! I know -_- SKO is possibly my fave GA track :wub:
September 10, 200816 yr It really is the GA awards generally these days. It's a bit ridiculous tbh. Much better pop songs have been released over the last 6 years which were more deserving. Fair enough for 'The Show' but 'Call the Shots' as the best pop song of the last year? Nay... Also what has happened to Popjustice? There seems to be so few updates there these days and when there are they all seem to be about Island Records' artists. :/
September 10, 200816 yr I think he must be really busy or something lately. It's a one-man team on the front page, in fairness.
September 10, 200816 yr I think they deserved the win Call The Shots and the others but probably not with The Show.
September 10, 200816 yr I think they deserved the win Call The Shots and the others but probably not with The Show. The Show didn't win.
September 10, 200816 yr 'Call The Shots' deserved it, Leona was seriously over-hyped unlike GA by the media.
September 10, 200816 yr It's not about hype, it's about the song. Bleeding Love was almost undoubtedly the best pop song of 2007, I'm not even sure About You Now is as brilliant... Certainly the reason it didn't win will be because either Leona is considered boring or because the song was so shoved down our throats at the time that some people never got over the sheer overplay. Regardless, it was overplayed for a reason and deserved it without any shadow of a doubt...

What a poor song. :( So glad it didn't win, even if I wasn't very pleased with the winner anyway (which most certainly should have been Little Boots or Bloc Party).
