You have until tomorrow to vote in Heat #7 of 2002 - can Jimmy Eat World catch up the Sugababes? Will DB Boulevard overtake Shy FX in the run-off? It's UP TO YOU, dear poptimists. Don't forget to fill in your new favourite from the list to earn an extra tick in Heat #8.
(apols if you've seen this twice - I messed up the previous poll)

Date: 2009-10-12 02:55 pm (UTC)Chipmunk "Oopsy Daisy": Reasonably pretty chorus, but Chipmunk sounds as if his mind is somewhere else. His worst hit. NO TICK.
The Saturdays "Forever Is Over": Finally, a wailing chorus has a tune worth wailing. TICK.
(P.S. I'm quite proud of my Jukebox write-up, though now I'd up the score a notch, to 8.)
Whitney Houston "Million Dollar Bill": She can't overpower anymore, so she adapts by... She doesn't adapt! The cinematic bass and hooky "uh-uh oh-oh" earn this track my respect, but it needs a blast of force Whitney can't provide. Sad. BORDERLINE NONTICK.
Mumford & Sons "Little Lion": Electric doom, while acoustic instruments promise a crazed, committed hoedown. Instead we get typical passive-aggressive indie rue. The surrounding drama sucks me in nonetheless, but I am strong and escape its pull. BORDERLINE NONTICK.
