The Greatest Showman ; Nay
always found this songs a bit meh, think the title song is much better

YONAKA ; Yay
one of my nominations, one of my favourite new bands from the last few years

Blue October ; Nay
heard another song of theirs that I really liked, but this one is not really grabbing me

Blake Shelton ; Yay
great song, big fan of it

John Legend ; Nay
never understood the hype surrounding this lad, find it all very bland

Clean Bandit & Jess Glynne ; Yay
yep, can't fault this one, have always really liked it

Carrie Underwood ; Yay
another of my nominations, she has such a great voice, and just a really well put together song

Adele ; Nay
never heard this one before, but not one of her better songs

Bastille ; Yay
forgot about this one actually, 'tis a good song, probably not a winner, but like it enough for Round 1

tldr version ;
Yay for YONAKA, Blake Shelton, Clean Bandit, Carrie Underwood, Bastille
Nay for all the rest

Lots of country & western going on - was 2010s a C&W decade? Also a lot of The Voice judges popping up. Adam Levine is an amazing singer but some of his Maroon 5 stuff is poor

Every decade is a Country & Western decade. Whoop! Whoop!

With the likes of Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus crossing over to more mainstream pop, Country music in general started becoming a bit poppier and rockier than it had been previously, so it definitely became somewhat more popular with the masses in the 2010s I think.

I nominated a Taylor Swift song but was just surprised by the number of them popping up in this section!
