[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!

I also like "Nothing Good About This Goodbye", "Negotiate with Love", "Dumb Dumb", and oh probably most of them actually. But I'd put "Some Girls" at #1.

Negotiate With Love should be #4, yes.

Negotiate With Love = #1!

My number one is "So Good" for having the most unopposable hi-NRG tsunami flow. Would also like to put in a good word for "Crazy Boys" (and of course "I Said Never Again (But Here We Are)" and "Some Girls"). Was she the lead on S Club's "Love Ain't Gonna Wait For You"? If so, that's my number two. But I need to be reminded what "My LA Ex" sounds like. Will go listen now.

Jo sang lead on "Love Ain't Gonna Wait..."

[koganbot]

Wiki exploring reveals Jo's post–S Club career to be star-crossed (or personality-crossed), but anyway, what would you say her achievements or lack thereof as a singer have been, both in and after S Club? She/they/whoever created emotion in "Love Ain't Gonna Wait For You" that I wasn't expecting from that group or that approach.

I don't know her particular neighborhood of dance-pop very well.

No, no, no, no, no. It's:

1. Sweet Dreams My LA Ex
2. I Will Be There
3. Fools
4. I Said Never Again
5. Blue Afternoon
6. Glide

998. More More More
999. Some Girls
1000. Crazy Boys

will never never never understand your Richard X hate. 'Crazy Boys' easily one of her best.

My top Rachel Stevens song is actually this b-side -- either that or Funny How, I think.

Always assumed the title was inspired by the airport, so I picture Rachel's diatribe taking place in a terminal, with hurried passengers scurrying by:
