Best Song of 2002: Heat #4

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Heidi showed everyone who was boss in heat #3, with the Sugababes storming ahead of Pink, the White Stripes, No Doubt and Clipse.

Time for Heat #4, aka HEAT OF DEATH. Seriously dudes, it's a Double Bedingfield in there! Hold onto your hats...

• You now only get SIX TICKS over the three bits of the poll. Oh stop whining, 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 #1462364]


Q for the comments box: What's the best song up there that you hadn't heard before today? After some confusion last week, you will now get an extra tick for the next heat (i.e. seven ticks for heat 5) if you tell us WHY you like it.

Hey Kat, is YouTube still blocking Brits from watching sponsored videos, as part of its dispute with you know who?

In any event here's the (sponsored) link to the video for Lil Jon's "I Don't Give A."

And here the song is unsponsored and letting us in on what Jon doesn't give:

No, it's been sorted out now.

OK. (Btw, thanks for providing incentives for people to listen to tracks they hadn't heard. I would guess that the best of the tracks I hadn't heard will be Cam'ron's "Hey Ma," but I don't know since I haven't heard it yet.)(Actually, I probably have and don't remember.)

Also, for what it's worth, and because we tend to think that extracurricular activity is relevant, though we're not always sure the nature of the relevance, and because I nominated and voted for "I Don't Give A Fuck," and because in previous years' polls people have been sanguine about ticking "Shake Ya Ass" and "Danger," I'll point out that guest artist Mystikal is currently in jail for sexual assault. Wiki: "On January 16, 2004, Mystikal was sentenced to six years in prison after pleading guilty to forcing his hairstylist to perform sex acts. He also admitted to extortion. The rapper and two bodyguards forced the woman to perform oral sex, have sex with them, and accused her of stealing $80,000 in checks. Mystikal initially denied the assault, but confessed after a videotape of the crime was found at his home."

"Hey Ma" is really good, probably my favorite song of the heat. I would post a link but for Youtube being blocked at work and all.
