That percentage though for round 2. :o Akon gets the boot after the vast majority of voters (including myself) chose to oust 'Lonely' from the competition! The track spent two weeks at number one in May 2005 and became Akon's first chart topper/real breakthrough single globally. For me it is difficult to listen to whether it is Akon's lacklustre rap-singing on the verses or the horrid high-pitched vocals on the chorus. Am I imagining this or was "high-pitched vocals" a trend in the mid 00's? :lol:



Vote for your least favourite. :teresa:
09. Akon - Lonely [58.33%] 21 out of 36 votes
10. Ozzy Osbourne & Kelly Osbourne - Changes [42.22%] 19 out of 45 votes

Out in sixth place is Westlife's cover of Billy Joel's hit 'Uptown Girl'. I'm actually shocked a Westlife song lasted this long (#garethwasrobbed) but I guess that's a testament to both the song and the fact Westlife decided to go up-tempo for once! The song was released as the official Comic Relief single in March 2001 and topped the UK Singles Chart for one week and in turn became the group's 7th number one after eight releases! Their cover is harmless to the ears but the original is far better imo. Fun fact: 'Uptown Girl' mirrors 'American Boy' in getting 14 out of 40 votes to be eliminated and therefore getting a percentage of 35%. :P

*ADVERT* The 2006-2009 Heats for Buzzjack's Favourite Noughties Single are still open! Links in my signature. :cheer:

Oops fell asleep but just caught up! Gosh I didn't do as well here as the other FF. :lol: Thanks for hosting!! Some great questions!

I have no idea who that guy is.

SHALLOW

I was sure many would (wrongly :kink:) put Zayn's megaflop Icarus Falls for #3. Dusk Till Dawn was only on the Japanese edition but I thought some might've assumed it was on the standard edition. :lol:

Shocked I was only one of two people who put Doja Cat for the first two answers. :lol:

I think go for Touch because if you go with Move now when you are up against some potential BIG GUNS you won't even be able to use Touch down the line because you will be OOOT.

Why can I foresee the Spice Girls getting eliminated using a classic after getting through the past two rounds with Mel C songs?

I would say 2B1 out of those two.

Okay let's just send Shallow. :smoke: Either that or TEOG will definitely get my vote but I can't promise anything if you send PF.

It has to be Umbrella with WFL saved for the last round if she gets there!

 

Diamonds can do one.

The Edge of Glory.

 

I know PF is the bigger hit but compared to what the others are sending I feel like TEOG can hold its own.

 

But then Shallow is the unexpected smash no one saw coming. :thinking:

Yes go for Teenage Dream. :cheer:

Whenever we dip out of the competition, perhaps we should do a rate or survivor including our AF Idol choices? :D

 

Surely it has to be out of 2B1, Too Much, SUYL and Goodbye for this round. Or Maybe.

Love Me Like You

Like A Prayer

Great choice mods! I made a new (good) discovery. :cheer:

 

Maybe give I Believe In You a chance? :angel:

Maybe Never Really Over for this round?

What's left to use?

 

Born This Way, Poker Face, Bad Romance, Paparazzi(?), The Edge of Glory, Shallow?
