Cheers erupt from the J-Lo fanclub as she squeezes into the final behind Outkast, Eve & Gwen, Missy and Mis-teeq. Sophie E-B on the other hand is wiping her tears on Dude from The Feeling's velvet jacket sleeve.

On to heat #6, which is absolutely banging in my opinion, but who will make it through?

  • You get a maximum of TEN TICKS over the three bits of the poll. The top five will go through to the next stage.


  • If you want to change your vote (or tick too many by mistake), you can edit your votes by clicking on 'Poll #12345' then 'Fill Out Poll'.


  • UK chart placings given in brackets.


  • You have until Friday lunchtime to vote.


  • Rep for your favourites in the comments! Youtube embeds very welcome.

I do not like a lot of what Nelly's done since but SERIOUSLY.

Did we miss the opportunity to nom 'Girlfriend,' incidentally, or is that yet to come?

I wish I'd thought to nominate 'Get It Faster' -this one is also acetastic tho. JEW = another one of those bands that's getting better as I age and stop thinking the lyrics are omgsorelevanttominelief.

Edit: Also, I think it is quite poptimist! It's got a dancefloor in the lyrics!

Yes, although I'm not a big fan of their work pre-Bleed American; Clarity just has the most horrible production on, and I've no idea why everyone's such a fan of Lucky Denver Mint.

This, though, is first year at University and is from a cracking album. Did I mention how good they are live? They're very good live.

I think you're right, tbh; hearing old Limp Bizkit is curious - they're obviously obnoxious and not very talented, but they feel like even more of a boundary act/gateway drug for the Scene today than the heralds of Nu-Metal they were at the time.

This was when Basement Jaxx were ALL GOOD ALL THE TIME and the video is also fantastic. It isn't as good as Lucky Star but it is stopping me want to kill my boss for offering the work experience a biscuit and not me (yes, I am a performing seal) so it must be doing something right.

Oh come ON

Am I really the first person to tick "Oochie Wally"?

Look, let's all go and tick it now and then I can delete this post and you won't have to have the Lex shouting at you all thread.

(Same goes for Peaches N Cream actually)

Tbh I've never heard anything pre-Bleed American and thought it was their first album. *goes to get self a BE A REAL FAN icon*

For me it is my GCSEs, when I was very lonely and angry but used to have quite cheery moments to that and 'beautifulgarbage' whilst I was (SHAME ALERT) reading the Wheel Of Time instead of revising. Although that was 2002 so I was presumably being slow on the uptake. (and also at the time considered this very top secret shameful pop activity as opposed to hideous noises listened to the rest of the time)

Peaches N Cream makes me feel a bit sick. :( Not on a food-based level I just actually really dislike the song.

"Pop"

I thought then - and I think now - that this single was a confused ugly mess.

Yeah; they're really awful and I hate to endorse them and I DESPISED them at the time, quite rightly (this was about the only thing I was doing right but hey, can't get them all) but ...it is kind of awesome?

This is the best record about 9/11!

Who the fuck knocked our buildings down?
Who the man behind the World Trade massacres, step up now
Where the four planes at huh is you insane bitch?
Fly that shit over my hood and get blown to bits!
No disrespect, that's where I rest my head
I understand you gotta rest yours true, nigga my people's dead
America, together we stand, divided we fall
Mr. Bush sit down, I'm in charge of the war!
