Once again, for me P!nk's vocal on 'Heartbreaker' is why I scored it a 10. She sounds so pained and desperate on the chorus... urrgh it hits hard.

'What About Us' has never been a favourite of mine, but it's grown on me the last few months. 'Beautiful Trauma' is great too.

All in all, I'd maybe swap 'Timebomb' for something else, but that's a strong top 20!

It's heartbreaking to see "What About Us" leave before top 20 (before top 10, actually), but I got used to questionable opinions in this rate. An amazing 'comeback' song that was so powerful and I'm attached to it for the reasons I mentioned in the commentary. Unfortunately, nothing on the album is up par to that song, and it's the only song from "Beautiful Trauma" that I gave a 10.

And just as I was about to say how the title track of "Beautiful Trauma" managed to outlast "What About Us", it gets eliminated. It's a great and catchy song, but I don't consider near her best singles.
It was among my lowest remaining scores, so a top 20 without it is good.

This would be a solid Top 10. Really surprised Leave Me Alone is still in, I never thought people considered that one of I’m Not Dead’s best.

I love your top 10.
And don't be surprised about "Leave Me Alone (I'm Lonely)" reaching top 20; in the 'poprock ladies' rate, it made top 20, too, becoming a top 3 song from "I'm Not Dead", only behind "U + Ur Hand" and "Who Knew".
But I still think it's the weakest out of the remaining five songs from "I'm Not Dead".

Although, I am a bit surprised that "Beautiful Trauma" and "Happy" are so loved (I have a feeling that the latter is leaving next for some reason).


"God Is DJ" needs to leave as soon as possible.

I've been a girl with her skirt pulled high
Been the outcast never running with mascara eyes
I see the world as a candy store
With a cigarette smile saying things you can't ignore
Like, Mommy I love you
Daddy I hate you
Brother I need you
Lover hey fuck you

Well fuck the lot of you calling for this, it made top twenty! I really had no idea I'd end up being one of the solitary champions of such a classic, especially this nostalgic gay anthem that appeared on the soundtrack for 'Mean Girls'. At complete odds with the angst-rock of 'Trouble', 'God...' is a storming dance-rock epic about proclaiming your excitement and love for life.

Basically the embodiment of empowerment anthem, years before they'd become popular, I've always regarded this as one of her strongest ever singles. Melodically flawless, it skips along, without missing a single beat, in timeless fashion. Weddings, hen dos, parties, touring - it works everywhere.

The phenomenal Billy Mann described how this came to be to Variety:

You know how it is when you’re ‘Philly’ and one of our own starts popping? I was a fan,” says Mann. After an introduction, a friendship emerged in Los Angeles,. “I had the hook of ‘God Is a DJ’ in my head, which felt perfect for Alecia,” says Mann of the moving single from “Try Me,” their first album together. “We met at noon in LA and within 15 minutes, we were drinking whiskey, smoking and it was all Philly We finished ‘God Is a DJ’ together and it began. That was 15 years ago.”

Honestly there's a power and cheekiness with this that other empowerment anthems wish they could tap into. Between the bratty lyricism, the smooth as silk chorus and the uplifting production... Perfection. Play this at my funeral.



Commentary corner:
​

@Music Is Life: (10) I don’t understand this idea that this isn’t one of her best singles/songs? It’s completely amazing. The melody, especially the chorus, gets stuck in my head all the time, the lyrics are a whole lot of fun, without being annoying, the production makes me wanna dance my ass of and rock out at the same time, and her adlibs are amazing. I mean, “God wants you to shake your ass!”? A-MA-ZING.

@tylerc904: (10) I always think of Mean Girls when I hear it. I’m still surprised the U.S. didn’t take to it (or Trouble for that matter).

@Sail On: (9.5) I won’t lie, the Mean Girls inclusion of this track definitely bumps this.

@Sprockrooster: (9) She is serving in the music video

@R27: (9) I love this. God wants you to shake you're ass is a total mood.

@savilizabeths: (9) “Maybe Mean Girls brainwashed me into liking this song? It’s a bop though, okay?

@abael: (9) Just that little bit too cheesy to fully back this gold track.

@Reboot: (8) Not as good as I thought it was during the time of its release, but still good.

@rick: (7.5) The verses are jarring to sing along too but otherwise a perfectly serviceable song

@Maki: (6.75) Never been a fan of this song, but it actually grew on me. The production is really good and lyrics are really imaginative and interesting, but the song itself isn’t very strong. It can even be called a filler, because there are much better examples of this sound on the album. The chorus is a bit weak, which is an immediate letdown. Definitely my least favorite single from “Try This”. Actually, it’s one of my least favorite songs on the album.

@JMRGBY88: (5) I just don’t like this but it’s not as bad as the two singles that preceded it. She’d really lost me around this mark.

@sapnu puas: (3.5) I’ve always disliked this song and time has not changed my mind.
