This is a Missy Elliott one-time exclusive (Come on)
.................................
Hmmm, sorry guys. I just got the memo.
Apparently, our budget couldn't allow us to get Missy Elliott, so erm...you're gonna get Monrose's "Work It" instead.
51. Work It
Score: 5,478.
Highest Score: 9 x 1 (

Lowest Score: 1 x 1 (
@TrainJumper )
Told you guys the Temptation slaughterfest wasn't over yet... Now, I do think that song should have left a few rounds ago as I feel like it's even weaker than the two ballads.
tylerc904 describes it as a " mild bop, maybe just by comparison to the rest of this album". Fair enough! On ther other hand,
Totto seems to enjoy it far more, stating it
"sounds like a late 90’s pop album track, which is always a good thing for me". 'Higher' is better,
teebs. Although, Totto isn't the only one who noticed the 90s influence, as
iheartpoptarts also commented on that :
"Very unexpectedly 90s all of a sudden. Like, 90s Spice Girls, almost. I don’t know where this sound came from, but I like it!" Comparing that albumtrack to the Spice Girls who almost have two perfect albums is a bit of stretch, but I always found that the girls from Monrose shared a lot of similarities with the Spice Girls tone-wise, so I'll let that one pass.
plasticFANTASTIC also picked up on the 90s vibes :
"Written by R. Kelly? Oh, not THAT R. Kelly. The liner notes were trying to be misleading on purpose I suppose. It sounds very 90's, would have been an okayish album filler on Jade to the Max." Now, that's a stretch too as well.
He's not the only one reminiscing about the pass as
TrainJumper struggles to remember how that song even goes :
"After 10 years still don't know how that song goes". Same, babe, same.
DJHazey claimed that
"the pre-chorus is pretty flawless", but that
"everything before and after it falls flat on its face. Each line in the chorus sounds likes it's being delivered in monotone and has absolutely no life behind it. They've got to 'work it' harder than this in order to get my plays". They're gonna get your plays when they sing you their slut anthems. They
know how you work, Don Juan. So predictable!
Finally,
Sprockrooster gives me the best idea for the build-up of this elimination... A MISSY ELIOT FAKE BUILD-UP!
"I need a glass of water. Boy oh boy it is good to know ya... Oh wait." Oh wait, indeed! Monrose wished their 'Work it' was as good as Missy's.
