Nobody's Perfect is the surprise here. It's ending is deluxe.

 

[straightorbroken]

Only saving 3 is very hard. Gone is a sigh of perfection (those backing vocals!), the strident thrust of Nobody Knows Me is left off only because it never got a definitive studio version to match its throbbing prowess in a live setting and Time Stood Still lives up to its name vocally and as a souvenir of a vocal range she no longer has access to.

 

[Vicky the Vole]

If 'Gone' lives up to his name because we can only save 3 then I will be very frustrated.

 

[Tisch]

Much more difficult than the vote to evict rounds.

Time Stood Still
Gone
Easy Ride

Wanted to go for Forbidden Love but couldn't decide what to swap it out for so it got left unloved.

 

[Devil]

I had no idea Gone was so loved. I file it alongside Easy Ride as deadly boring if rather pleasant

Who hurt you?

 

[joanne]

Easy Ride is up there amongst her best ballads. and the best usage ever of the lyric "round and round" after H.A.T.E.U.

 

[Christian]

Easy Ride and Gone are sublimely brittle and fragile. Moments where the bravado is dropped and you get a peek behind the curtain.

 

[straightorbroken]

I've never taken to Easy Ride. Maybe that's because I do want one. Should've took the opposite route and made it a banger called Hard Ride clearly.

 

[Christian]

I want to let go
Of all disappointment
That's waiting for me

What I want is to live forever
Not defined by time and space
It's a lonely place

The push/pull of being driven to achieve something, yet knowing you will not be made happy by it when you do. Such a fine, fine lyric.

 

[Pipo]

Future Lovers or Impressive Instant to win

 

[Zu]

Forbidden Love apparently less popular than I believe to be appropriate

 

[straightorbroken]

Some people don't deserve love, let alone it will be the forbidden kind.

 

[Suedehead]

Just one KISS
Just one TOUCH
Just one LOOK

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

A couple of more votes for Time Stood Still, pls!

 

[Iguana]

A couple of more votes for Time Stood Still, pls!

It was doing so well and then it STALLED!

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

It was doing so well and then it STALLED!

I almost thought it might maybe reach the final round

 

[straightorbroken]

Future Lovers is making me think of doing a playlist of Moroder inspired dance pop numbers. There must be some rather fetching ones.
