Stay

Hello

Welcome to Round 5 of Kylie Minogue's 'Tension II' survivor poll and in the last round there was a double elimination, meaning we say goodbye to 2 tracks: Diamonds which gained 12 votes & Shoulda Left Ya with 11 votes. Both tracks gained more than half the votes & were the clear choices to get the boot. 'Diamonds' is cute slice of disco dance pop with a pulsating bassline running throughout & some nice harmonies which helps out with the rather cold vocal mixing. A nice track but wouldn't call it a standout and probably ranks in about the right place here. 'Shoulda Left Ya', an electronic dance ballad that follows in a similar vein to 'Hold On To Now' & 'Things We Do For Love' from Tension 1, but isn't nowhere near as good as either of those 2. A nice song though. Right then guys its back to the regular voting system for this round & as usual same rules apply just vote for your Least Fave 'Tension II' track from the remaining 8 and the one with the most votes will be eliminated. The next round I will be doing a ranking round. Results 9th. Shoulda Left Ya - 11/28.21% 10th. Diamonds - 12/30.77% 11th. Dance Alone (ft Sia) - 7/36.84% 12th. Dance To The Music - 7/38.89% 13th. My Oh My (ft Bebe Rexha & Tove Lo) - 6/30.00%

'Diamonds' & 'Shoulda Left Ya'

Welcome to Round 4 of Kylie Minogue's 'Tension II' survivor polls & the 3rd song to be voted and falling short of a top 10 placement is Dance Alone which gained 7 votes and features Australian singer songwriter Sia. Released in February 2024 as the 2nd single from Sia's 10th studio album Reasonable Woman & would later feature on Kylie's 17th studio album 'Tension II' as one of the 4 collaborations featured on there. Sia & Kylie had previously collaborated back in 2014 on Kylie's 12th album 'Kiss Me Once' where Sia served as executive producer and co-wrote 2 tracks ('Kiss Me Once' & 'Sexercise'). Both of which were far better than this forgettable little number (much like Sia's comeback album). Sia's vocals doesn't quite match the energy of the song, while Kylie sounds decent, but even she sounds a bit bored on this rather basic number that feels more like a bonus track than an actual single & both artists could do far better than this. As the for other results 'Shoulda Left Ya' wasn't far behind with 5 votes, while 'Diamonds' gained votes for the first time with 3, then 'Lights Camera Action', 'Taboo', 'Someone For Me' & 'Edge of Saturday Night' each gained 1 vote each. Right then guys we are down to the top 10 tracks on this with 3 gone & for this round there will be a Double Elimination, pick 2 of your least fave tracks & the 2 with the most eill be gone by the next round, so choose wisely. Results 11th. Dance Alone (ft Sia) - 7/36.84% 12th. Dance To The Music - 7/38.89% 13th. My Oh My (ft Bebe Rexha & Tove Lo) - 6/30.00%

'Shoo-Bee-Doo' again, this should have went in the first round. Surprised that 'Pretender' went first as I actually think its better than 'Stay' (which is totally forgettable)

I will be posting the next round tomorrow and it will be a Double Elimination, its time to shake things up

Shoo-Bee-Doo

Dance Alone

Welcome to Round 3 of Kylie Minogue's 'Tension II' survivor polls and the 2nd song to get the boot is Dance To The Music, which gained 7 votes & not surprising considering it came very close to leaving in the first round. A sweet and airy disco bop with thick basslines and a catchy chorus. Yes this does feel like an outtake from the 'Disco' album sessions and probably would have suited that album better, but I like it, it's a cute inoffensive bop. 11 tracks left in the running now & same rules apply just vote for your Least Fave from the poll above and the one with the most votes will be out by the next round, which will be the all important top 10, which will then be a double elimination round. Results 12th. Dance To The Music - 7/38.89% 13th. My Oh My (with Bebe Rexha & Tove Lo) - 6/30.00%

Let's give this a little BUMP

Dance To The Music

Welcome to Round 2 of Kylie Minogue's 'Tension II' survivor poll & after a very close battle the first song to bow out is My Oh My which received 6 votes, just 1 vote ahead of 'Dance To The Music' which had 5 votes. The song was released as a single in July 2024 and features Bebe Rexha & Tove Lo. This was Kylie 3rd collaboration of the year following 'Dance Alone' & 'Midnight Ride' & all 3 were included on the sequel album. Not keen on this song & find that it doesn't fit on the album at all & find the processed vocals very grating & don't find the song very catchy at all. Glad this was the first one out as I don't go back to this very much upon playing the album. Same rules apply just vote for your Least Fave album track out of the 12 remaining tracks & the one with the most votes will be voted out by the next round which will be in about 5 days. Results 13th. My Oh My (with Bebe Rexha & Tove Lo) - 6/30.00%
