The Historiography Of Pop Part 8 AKA Squeaky Bum Time

After a ferociously close fourth round, we say goodbye to both Britney tracks, Kylie and MARRS. It's now a straight fight - well two straight fights - to take us to tomorrow's final.

No Britney is very disappointing, I have to say. Now, where are the people to complain about how voting for "Common People" will be the end of civilisation as we know it &c...

RIGHT HERE.

I really don't understand! It's an OK song but it got more ticks than PSB and Britney and tATu and Kylie and EVERYONE! It wasn't even one of the five best songs on its original Now.

IT'S GOT GUITARS IN IT FFS.

I don't think guitars are an issue, really. It's that you can dance to it -- in a spastic kind of way, granted, but many of us can't dance anyway... However, I would have picked PSB, Britney, tATu or Kylie over it.

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

You can dance to pretty much everything left though. I mean, I don't hate it, I think it's a solid 7/10, and I was fine with it winning its Now poll...but I don't understand how it's beaten the cream of the crop to get here.

I feel that dancing to Kate is more of an interpretative type thing which is fine for her, but not for me...

I really want some DJ to drop Running Up That Hill in the middle of a really hypnotic minimal set one day. The opening would work perfectly.

[hoshuteki.livejournal.com]

Quite possibly, though if I were listening to a really hypnotic minimal set, I'd prefer some tATu.

I'd prefer a lethal injection of Domestos.

I'd prefer "They're Coming to Take Me Away" by Napoleon XIV.

'Nocturn' or 'Aerial' would make amazing closers to mimimimimimimimal sets.

I think the Lex may have been right about the Britney vote splitting. Love them though I do I was surprised Tatu made it this far.

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

I voted tAtu last round despite commenting in the previous round that I didn't think it was all that! my view of the song changes day to day.

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

It's my favourite No 1 ever! It really is one of the best songs ever ever ever, it's immense.

for once, i agree with you
