Nothing hugely dramatic in yesterday's fites - possibly today's will generate more conflict!

This is actually completely true (also, it's true of '1 Thing' but sshhhh I want people to keep ticking that). But its ideas are at least listenable in the first place.

The reason I don't mind 'No Scrubs' circling round and round in its last two minutes is because its chorus isn't particularly massive! With '1 Thing' the burstiness of the chorus loses its impact in the final stages whereas 'No Scrubs' settles into a lovely slinky going-nowhere groove.

I quite like the (from what I remember) organ at the end of '1 thing', it lets the song down gently.

Also Amerie's voice is a pleasure to listen to. Opposite end of the scale to Axl :-)

There's lots more going on underneath the melody line in "1 Thing" as well. In fact, a whole new musical idea starts at around the 2'30" or 3 minute mark and then gradually takes over the song.

The comparison with "No Scrubs" = OFF the money

Annoyingly that's true only of the mix used for radio & on the album; the mix on the video has one of Left Eye's best raps taking up nearly a minute towards the end which really breaks up the repetitiveness and makes it a more interesting record (it's also the best bit of the video - she looks fantastic)

(oh - and of course if you're one of those people who finds Left Eye a bit annoying and samey this argument fails to apply)
