Kill or Save: UK No.1 Hits of the 00s

Recommended Posts

Yeah I think it's one of those songs where although not that many people really love it, no-one really dislikes it either. For me there were definitely six songs that I preferred in the final (maybe more depending on my mood!), but the highest of them only placed seventh overall so there was always something for me to downvote ahead of Dare.

 

I think if everyone who voted ranked the finalists, Dare probably wouldn't be top of more than one or two at most, but probably wouldn't be outside the top ten of any - whereas most of the songs that topped those lists would be near the bottom of a significant number.

Still a very odd consensus candidate though, IMHO.

These are the ones I liked, with Spiller a long way out in front.  I actually bought that single, very rare thing for me.

The others in a very loose order.

 

Spiller - Groovejet (If This Ain’t Love)

 

Kylie Minogue - Can’t Get You Out Of My Head

Lady Gaga - Bad Romance

Lady Gaga - Poker Face

Elvis vs JXL - A Little Less Conversation

Scissor Sisters - I Don't Feel Like Dancing

I would have been more than happy with Spiller winning. That was an absolute banger. 

 

I'm not good at creating hierarchies like this but looking at the master list for the Grand Final, I think my top 5 would have been (in no particular order):

 

Gnarls Barkley - Crazy

Rihanna - Umbrella

Spiller - Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)

La Roux - Bulletproof

Kylie Minogue - Can't Get You Out Of My Head

I had thought Kylie was a shoe in for this and Bad Romance was my second place. May have suffered from two Lady Gaga tracks being in the final

If I had to pick five, here are the six I would choose.

 

Britney Spears - Oops!… I Did It Again
Gnarls Barkley - Crazy 
Gorillaz- Dare 
Katy Perry - I Kissed a Girl
**La Roux - Bulletproof
Lady Gaga - Bad Romance
 

For me, Bulletproof was the best, but I could be persuaded to choose another one on any given day.
