December 2, 200816 yr Author I demand moar commentz. D: 11. Verbalicious - Don't Play Nice BJSCIII ; Simondly ; 11th FA1WDBh0k4o 10. The Modern - Industry BJSIV ; Simondly ; 11th 9l-2L22hrZA 09. Foals - Hummer BJSCVI ; Utopia ; 26th SGf7T5L4_HI SOME SIMONDLY LOVING AT 11th AND 10th. (Oooh so close to having two songs in my super awesome Top 10). Still, Verbaliscious is so LOL great, but srsly, that song is beyond catchy, as well as Industry by Modern. I don't think they're particularly AMAZING songs but catcyhness wins me over here. Shame neither could break top 10. Then come Foals who are AMAZING especially THIS SONG. :wub: Too bad they placed 26th cuz Buzzjack is INCREDIBLY NARROWMINDED. :D WOOWOOWOO. (lolz I gave it 50% of all the points it earned in BJSVI D:)
December 2, 200816 yr TBF I didn't manage to vote in XI so 'Hummer' was deducted a third/half of it's points...
December 2, 200816 yr I expect a Priceville song in the Top 5. If not you be getting BEATINGS. Cool countdown so far <3

December 2, 200816 yr Fidelity has grown on me so much recently. Love Robyn, but i do prefer Beverley's version of that song!
December 2, 200816 yr Foals and modern are two amazing tracks - I'm a bit sad I never got the chance to vote modern and even sadder I didn't appreciate Hummer at the time of the contest :( Can't say I feel the love for Robyn's KTFB - Once you've heard beverley's version nothign can compare Regina is simply a goddess and Bjork, I like her song but it's not something I can really get into straight away I have to be in the right mood Seriously though, well done for picking out some of the fogotten gems of this competition
December 2, 200816 yr Author That Modern song is so ridiculously catchy. D: I was a bit shocked it didn't make it to the final of the Best Of. Many probably never listened to it though.

December 2, 200816 yr Can't say I feel the love for Robyn's KTFB - Once you've heard beverley's version nothign can compare I agree. :kink: Well actually, I like the Robyn version but I don't think her voice is right for the song. But I'm biased because I was used to it being a Beverley Knight song before I heard the original. Robyn has made me a bit of a snob towards Beverley's though, I find it difficult to love a cover unless I really can't abide the original, which isn't the case here. 'Fidelity' is alright, I really can't listen to 'Earth Intruders' though. Bjork is a bit too wacky for me. I like "It's Oh So Quiet" (cited as her worst song :lol) and 'Joga' was alright. 'Earth Intruders' and her new one 'Naturra'(?) don't work for me. I'd like to be able to like Bjork but it's difficult. :lol: That Modern song is so ridiculously catchy. D: I was a bit shocked it didn't make it to the final of the Best Of. Many probably never listened to it though. D: I can't remember if I nominated it, I think it was just short if I didn't. It's one of the songs I thought sounded catchy enough for a proper listen based on the recap. A lot of your list so far looks like a list of songs I liked but not enough for points. There are some exceptions as I dislike some songs on here and awarded others points.
December 3, 200816 yr Author WE'RE GETTING NEAR THE TOP. 4TH AND 5TH PLACE NAO. 05. The Pipettes - Pull Shapes BJSCIV ; Utopia ; 2nd lYVKFLWyczI 04. Kate Bush - This Woman's Work BJSVIII ; Bhangra ; SF 13th gTnLewBRwjs We've now moved into epic territory pls. Pipettes are AMAZE and this song makes me insanely happy anytime I listen to. And then This Woman's Work makes me insanely sad anytime I hear it. SOSOSOSO GOOD. The fact that it did worse than acts like Gabriella Cilmi, Mutya Buena, and Booty Luv actually makes me feel sightly sick. SO BEAUTIFUL. 3rd place tomorrowz. ANY GUESSES ON THE TOP 3?
December 3, 200816 yr Liking the Pipettes song. ^_^ The Kate Bush one reminds me of NSPCC adverts. :( 3rd place tomorrowz. ANY GUESSES ON THE TOP 3? :thinking: 1. The Knife - Heartbeats 2. Imogen Heap - Headlock 3. Yelle - Ce Jeu (?!) I'd be surprised if the top 2 weren't in your top 40 at all, Yelle is a bit of a guess however.
December 4, 200816 yr OOOF The Pipettes! :D And 'This Woman's Work' is one of the few Bush songs I like, like Bjork I've just never really been able to 'get' her! I may be wrong but I'm sure I remember Operator Please scoring high points off you, that's what I thought would be in the top 5! Would be great if it was still to come!
