01) Foo Fighters – Their best songs by a country mile! One of the only songs I would consider head banging to lol! This is a tune and a half! I loveeee this! Great selections! Yayaayayayayaayyyyyy!
02) Mariah Carey – I’m sorry, this is going to be my first bitchy comment of the night. She is whining at me….and I don’t like it. :p Don’t go for high notes that you can’t reach, dear. :(
03) Keane – I made a comment a while ago in the beta contest that person should have entered this song! I can’ exactly change my mind now…can I? Love it…it has aged remarkably well. He has a stonking voice, especially when he goes for the high notes. It may have a hard time really standing out in this contest, but it is still a great little number. Awwwh look at Tom here…who knew how far his fall from grace would be? Sad… :(
04) The Hoosiers – Oh Ok...cool. :p Surprisingly catchy. It’s cute….in a homicidal sort of way. :p Poor old ‘Mr A’. Does ‘Mr A’ actually stand for something? Or is it about ‘Mr A’? I’m a little confuzzled. :( I did like this though. I think liking three out of four songs in the beta contest is very rare for me. :p
05) Alicia Keys – Pleasant enough, I was never a massive Alicia Keys fan. :p I do like this though, it is definitely anthemic and one of her better songs. :p :) I kind of had enough after three minutes though…it does go on. We know, love No one makes you feel like he does.
06) Shawn Mendes – Oh, we were both wrong. An interesting voice for sure, I’m not keen when it speeds up for no reason at all! Pleasant enough…not brilliant though.
07) September – Love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love. I typed out every love btw…no copy and paste for me. This brought europop back to the UK, along with Cascada and I this is my huge guilty pleasure!!!!!! Loveeeeeee!
08) Whitney Houston – I always remember when she performed this on the UK version of the X Factor and she was off her face. :( A poor tortured soul. :( Not her best work for sure, but it really isn’t bad. I do like it… :) She had a phenomenal voice. :(
09) Lana Del Rey – Not her best…not her best… :( Sorry. :( I entered ‘born to die’ which is a masterpiece in my mind. She has goddess and her voice is so special. This song is great, but it is not brilliant for me. I have such a high standard when it comes to Lana. It’s not even summer, whi is the DJ playing ‘summertime sadness’!!!??? lol
10) You Me At Six – The weakest rock entry in the contest, I’m afraid! It picks up at the end, when it becomes almost anthemic…but it doesn’t really save it. It is just a little dreary in my opinion. Sorry. :(
11) Imagine Dragons – Did this chart? :O Better than the last entry, but it isn’t their best work for sure. :( Even the drums do not save it. :(
12) Aloe Blacc – A great way to end the contest for sure. Two weeks of Aloe in this contest cannot be a bad thing. :p :) His voice was so unique when it emerged a few years ago and still love it now. :D A great entry for sure. :) How am I going to vote…. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!
A great contest as usual, Rick! :D
Thanks! :)
