The use of the word "Probe" offends me more than I can put into words.
Good winnerm would rather have seenn Rolling In The Deep or Hold It Against Me... or Last Friday Night. But We Found Love is a great song and really summarizes 2011.

'Set Fire to the Rain' aside, Adele does nothing for me. I don't like her wailing or her tone in general. As for 'We Found Love' it's basically a production with a few sparse vocals here and there and a tired breakdown I haven't enjoyed in the other thousand dance songs I've heard it in. It's adoration continues to baffle me, but then I haven't enjoyed dance music in general for a while anyway. I guess at least Rolling in the Deep would make nice background music for a clothes shop or something though.
I would have liked E.T. to win even if I only gave it a 9. It's a 10 in its original form, not that Kanye's rap is bad but it was perfect to begin with.
Seconded! I am so fucking happy with this result.

The best three songs were top three so that's good, I'd probably have gone E.T. > We Found Love > Rolling in the Deep, but We Found Love is a worthy winner.

Totally agree! There's nothing quite like it. It was one of the most euphoric feelings I've ever had, and I wasn't even drunk. A truly special moment that I can't really explain properly.
For me the only thing that came remotely close to that feeling was Teenage Dream at Katy Perry's concert (It's my favourite song and I died when she came out to it, as did every other person in the arena) and at the Big Reunion concert on the last night of the tour when Atomic Kitten sang Whole Again and cut the music for the last chorus to get the entire crowd singing along. I had goosebumps.
I'm glad We Found Love won, it's my favourite song of her's and I don't think she'll top it. Who cares if it's mostly a dancebreak and moreso a Calvin Harris song? I've never seen a single be complimented so well by it's video, a video she shot in Belfast no less.

It really is. Forget the fact that it was absolutely hammered to death on radio - I still remember hearing it for the very first time and I was blown away.
And unpopular opinion but I love the video. When she belts out the final chorus and the sparks burn up the paper city - amazing.
It was (and still is) played to death. I won't play it myself anytime soon but it's good.
And the video is pretty good. I like the part that you describe.
Re: 2011 US #1 Singles Rate RESULTS: #3
I would have given it a 7, maybe leaning towards an 8. It's definitely her best song.
That's like saying herpes is the best STD.

We're on the same side with that one, trust me. Quite a few of her songs wouldn't get an 8 from me if I were scoring out of a million.
