Poptimists Top 40 Of 2007 Part 2

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

NELLY FURTADO - "Say It Right"

It was a single in 2007 you know!

Watch on YouTube

31. KLAXONS - "Golden Skans"

Continuing with the "January" theme. Cosmic video, dudes.

Watch on YouTube

30. ASHLEY TISDALE - "Not Like That"

00s retro teenpop - video includes acty bit at beginning!

Watch on YouTube

29. NATASHA BEDINGFIELD - "I Wanna Have Your Babies"

Go here for the erm babymungous video. (can't find one without embedding)

28. ALY & AJ - "Blush"

No video for this - you can hear it while gazing at the Michalkas here.

27. CASSIE - "Is It You?"

Was there actually not a video for this either? We luvs our Cassie. Hear it here.

26. DRAGONETTE - "Competition"

Another Poptimism DJ favourite. There's no video but instead you can watch 1x FANVID for a soap I don't actually know. This song seems kind of made for fanvids.

25. COBRA STARSHIP - "Damn You Look Good And I'm Drunk (Scandalous)"

No real video but hear the Cobra here. This band, let us stress, has a track called "My Moves Are White (White Hot, That Is)".

In a fit of work repulsion yesterday I wrote out the whole thing so you may well get another chunk of poll this afternoon and then I'll finish it tomorrow. Speculation etc all welcome.

I think the Tisdale video is quite new - I think it's only just being released as an actual single - and shamefully the way I was able to tell was that it was clearly shot post-nosejob.

'Say It Right' - so gorgeous. Secretly the best track on Loose; I barely think about 'Maneater' and 'Promiscuous' any more but 'Say It Right' has settled into being quite the constant in my life.

Real actual Cobra video to The City Is At War, big pimpin' big pimpin (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNF08htoH00). It's GRATE.

That's my least favourite track on the Cobra Starship album! I know I lost the right to complain about this list when I didn't submit anything better myself but I hope they feature elsewhere...

Two I hadn't heard: "Damn You Look Good And I'm Drunk"; the song seems OK but the moves are too white. Needs Backstreet Boys or Bel Biv Devoe to do it right. Strangely, I have the same feeling about the other one I hadn't heard, Dragonette's "Competition": seems to be aching for an r&b woman to take the melody home. Disappointing compared to "I Get Around," which was in my Top 20.

I would have voted for "Say It Right", but considered it 2006 so didn't. I DID vote for TashBed though and am happy to see this make it. I'm v. happy with this list so far.

Have i missed something?

None of mine have charted so far - no big deal - but there are some real shockers - two Cassie tracks! I vaguely remember some discussion of her earlier in the year but neither of the two tracks that I have ("Do What U Want" and "Ditto") are here. Hm.

Dragonette I thought sank about as fast as the Long Blondes, and Cobra Starship I thought was a joke. If these two are so good, why haven't people talked about them more?

Easy speculation: "Umbrella", obv. I can't imagine "Potential Break Up Song" being left off, and I'd have to guess that "See You Again" is in there as well. At least one Britney will make it, "Piece of Me", and "Gimme More" has a shot as well. "With Every Heartbeat" is a lock and I'd think so is "Girlfriend". "Call The Shots" has a good chance. I fear MIA vote splitting may leave her off though surely something must be there, let's say "Paper Planes". "Song 4 Mutya", perhaps. "About You Now"? "Bleeding Love"? My gut says no to both.

OK that's 10 predictions.

Hurrah my vote for Say It Right paid off! (I heard it the first time literally half a week after 2006 was over, so there you are.) That's one of my votes through, and not even the one I definitely expected!

I've gone so off Loose lately that I thought Say It Right was going to fall outside my top 20 altogether in the end, but then thanks to repeated shortlist play I had AN RENAISSANCE, and it was awesome again! I'm quite sad that Ice Box missed my top ten by, like, one place, though.* :( Hopefully other people have repped for it in my place!

*) what, the two just go together in my head! Bringing one up in connection to the other = UTTER LOGIC, yo.

I don't remember if I sent my list in... and if I did, I don't remember if I voted for Blush.

How many people had to vote for Blush for it to place?
