Probably the weakest playlist overall for me thus far, though it did include one song I'd never heard before that I really really liked and gave an 18 to, so thank you to the person(s) who nominated that!
Alas another song I love got a zero because it's very much a male-sung track and there just isn't enough female vocals on it for it to be in this competition imo.

It was ok until the guy who sounds like he smokes 200 cigarettes a day started singing

I find Madonna incredibly overrated, hopefully there isn't too many more of her songs in this. I would probably only give one of her songs a high score and that song hasn't appeared yet

Consider that a warm up for what is to come later

Cradle of Filth got the same score from me that Britney Spears did.
Whether that was closer to 20 or to 0 I won't say.

Closer to 20 would be my guess...

I like Britney but I think there are songs that better display her vocal abilities if I'm honest.

Since everyone else is doing it, I'm a lot more generous than you meanies, some great 80's songs in this

Yes, no country today though! Well 9 to 5 sort of is

Just a heard a song that I totally would have nominated if I thought of it. Maps by Yeah Yeah Yeahs, if someone else nominated it it gets a 20.

Quite a few Sinead O'Connor numbers so far, which is no bad thing. She had a beautiful voice and she was gorgeous even with the cue-ball bonce.

Necro

We shall have to agree to disagree on all of that purple tin... I can't stand her

Am I too late to get in 5 or 15 by pm?

Another list with lots of high scores - and a zero for a change.

I thought Rock Lobster was a bit of a stretch as it is primarily a Fred song - but hey, one of my favourite songs of all time, so no complaints

That's the one I was talking about earlier. I wouldn't just say primarily, I would say entirely.

I can't stand Rock Lobster myself

When I was an admin, by default everyone was on my enemies list. It was just easier that way.

I had a similar reaction to Cher singing an Abba song a few rounds back.

One song on today's list came on and the power went for the entire neighbourhood. Now all I can hear are house alarms and it's a blessed relief, can we give minus points?!

I'm not saying it was, not saying it wasn't

Round 3 complete. Worst for me so far. Average score 11.8.

2 scored 16/20, didn't go higher than that.
2 scored 6/20

Rock Lobster is a fine song, no doubt, but I can't score it high here - it'll have to wait for the greatest backing vocals and sound effects sung by a woman contest.

Pretzill

5 zero's in part 5 for me - Yep Rock Lobster and Meatloaf both would have scored higher but I wouldn't consider either a predominantly female track they were nowhere near zero though - duets in general aren't scoring well for me and only bands with strong female leads...

Only 1 top spot here again. But thanks to whomever has introduced me to Beach House loving both those entries so far!

A song that brings a lump to your throat or gets you singing or whistling along gets bonus points.
