Best Song of 2003: Heat #7

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Girls Aloud comfortably through along with tATu and Justin; Missy and Lumidee fend off the rest of the competition.

Today: double Mis-teeq, double Shut Ups and dead cartoon children rapping from the afterlife. Waah! It's heat #7!

• You get SIX TICKS over the three bits of the poll, unless you played the investigation game on the previous heat and told us all your new favourite (and why). Put your new favourite in the box below and get an extra tick for the next heat - do this on five or more of the eight heats and get an extra nomination slot for 2004!



• The top five in each heat will go through to the next stage. Make sure you rep for your faves in the comments!



• If you want to fill in the 'best song I only heard today' box later, 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 Friday lunchtime to vote

[Poll #1486675]


Extra ticks for this heat go to friend_of_tofu, jeff_worrell, koganbot and credoimprobus.

This is new to me, and is quite dreamy and pretty in its elegiac (sp?) way; might it be the French animated (!) correlative to Fannypack (reading between the lines in Wikipedia I'm gathering that this might be rap from French dance bohemia rather than from French hip-hop, though I know zilch about what "French dance bohemia" or "French hip-hop" might apply to, so I may be fingering scenes that exist only in the hypotheses of my imagination [but am imagining this as emerging from a scene rather than from "someone who simply decides to rap, and draw pictures"])?

I always thought it was German rather than French! (Though I'll take Wiki's word for it) It was all over Polish MTV when I was on honeymoon in Poland, which may be its route into FT/Poptimists circulation (though I think it also got mentioned on ILX a bit)
