Best Song of 2002: Heat #2

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Princess Superstar, Truth Hurts and Puretone all tied for the lead, with Missy and Christina making up our five qualifiers in Heat #1. Poor old Abs.

Next up we have a heat packed with so much awesome stuff that I'm beginning to regret changing the rules...

• You now only get SIX TICKS over the three bits of the poll. Oh, stop your whingeing! It'll make for a more interesting top 40 at the end.



• The top five will still go through to the next stage, but now it's going to be that little bit tougher to get there. If your favourite song isn't doing so well then try and convince people in the comments as to why it's so good!



• 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'.



• You have until Tuesday lunchtime to vote.

[Poll #1459239]


Q for the comments box: What's the best song up there that you hadn't heard before today? If you tell us all what you liked about it I'll give you an extra nomination spot for 2003...

Re: Mindy McCready 2

[koganbot]

Wrote this on Rolling Country a couple of weeks ago:

Out of morbid curiosity I listened to Billy McKnight's "Sweeter" f. Mindy McCready, which highlights Mindy at least as much as Billy. Despite Mindy fucking up everything else in her life, her voice is as steady and strong and warm as ever. This is a mush ballad that reaches for the sky, and in the soft parts before all the mountain climbing Billy's voice is inadequate - not awful but not giving much. He just doesn't have it. But when the strings build and the ascent starts, all the molten noise compensates for him, and Mindy melts the glaciers. I would definitely want to hear another album by her, if she can manage one.
