Best Song of 2001: Second Chance FINAL!

[meserach.livejournal.com]

This should have been on Wednesday but I was busy looking for places to rent. I don't think the extra day affected the top five, tho.

So here we go: the top 5 tracks YOU felt were most deserving of the coveted Second Chance! But: there can be only ONE! Choose!

This poll closes around when Kat starts up the first poll for 2003, which is probably roughly Tuesday lunchtime!

[Poll #1455689]

If anything other than Alicia Keys wins this I am probably going to quit poptimists for real, it is not the place for me. These are hideous results, people.

But "Fallin'"? Of all songs? Not "How Come You Don't Call Me" or "Girlfriend" or something?

It's more "all the others are SO BAD, how have they gone through ahead of all the classics in this poll", though "Fallin'" is one of my favourite Alicia K songs.

The songs which Poptimists apparently think are worse than the Dandy Warhols (!), The Strokes, Sophie Meh-lis Bextor and Andrew fucking WK.

Ludacris ft Nate Dogg - Area Codes
Sticky ft Ms Dynamite - Booo
MOP - Cold As Ice
Jay-Z - Girls Girls Girls
Jay-Z - Heart Of The City (Ain't No Love)
Aaliyah - I Care 4 U
Missy Elliott - Lick Shots
Joe ft. Mystikal - Stutter
Ludacris ft. Trina, Shawnna & Foxy Brown - What's Your Fantasy? (Remix)

Seriously? Those are utter classics there. Those are NOT worse than the Strokes. Get out of your fucking indie discos, for fuck's sake.

I love MOPs's Ante Up, but Cold as Ice is in no way as good as any of the five songs in the poll. It's bloody rubbish. I'm all for righteous fury and stomping about like you know better than everyone else, but on that one you should have a sit down and a bit of a think.

All the others, especially the Jay-Z and Ludacris tracks are incredible and it's hard to believe they haven't got through... but still. Democracy and all that.

i like sophie and i don't care who knows it

That AWK song is like the villain in a slasher movie. However many times you think you've killed him off he keeps coming back.

PARTY HARD by a solar system.

Okay someone rep for Bohemian Like You pls

I am surprised at the seemingly considerable groundswell of support for this song, which I had always felt blended advertising ubiquity with mid-tempo Radio-2 blandfestery to form an unappetising if faintly cheerful soup.

Could someone write a bit about why they like it because I am a little mystified tbh.

Secretly I quite like the Strokes track, although I'm voting for Fallin'. Sorry lex :( Pop is a broad church I guess.

If it makes you feel any better your noms and reps for the last sixteen rounds have exposed me to a lot of awesome r&B rap and hip-hop that I had previously not exposed myself to, many of which I ended up voting for.
