Pink: The Discography Rate ∞ WINNER!

It didn't really deliver on what I'd want or expect from a Pink/Beck collaboration. As pointed out already, she has that ability to sound like Pink no matter what she does, so I'd like her to have gone a bit more experimental. That applies to her career in general, really.
 
The odd choices continue for the next few eliminations

Indeed.
"We Could Have It All" is among the very best from "Hurts 2B Human" and nearly got a 10 from me. Another underrated song.
I love how it received comparisons to "Try This", "I'm Not Dead", "Funhouse" and "The Truth About Love" - it really is the most 'classic' P!nk song we got from her in the last 5 years and the only (kind of) pop-rock song from the latest album.
Although, I can only hear stong resemblences with "Funhouse" in the melody and "The Truth About Love" in the production.

Up next: a HUGE one. We’re losing an 11 and SEVEN 10s.
Gosh...
*tries to think of another divisive song a la "Slut Like You"*

It's going to be my 11, isn't it?
Or a shocker "Trouble" elimination? Either way, I'm in suspense...
 
Judging by some commentary, I have this feeling that it might be Catch Me While I'm Sleeping.
In that case, I will be crushed, but will praise the voter who gave that masterpiece an 11 as much as possible.
Although it seems possible that a song from "Try This" would be the one..
Also, "Centerfold" is another option.
I'm just saying this being 90% sure that it's my 11.

For a second I thought about Raise Your Glass but I honestly hope nobody went as far as giving that thing an 11.
That's what I thought about "Slut Like You", yet it happened.

@Lost Boy is it a single that's leaving next? I'm so anxious.

66. Love Song
Average score: 7.26
Highest score: 11 (@Sanctuary)
10x7 (@LiK, @Music Is Life, @Remorque, @Sideout, @Sprockrooster, @nikkysan, @Lost Boy)
Lowest score: 2 (@happiestgirl)
My score: 10

This is my very first love song
That didn't end in tears
I think you re-wrote my love song
For the rest of my years
I will love you for the rest of my life

Looking at the scores this acquired throughout is one hell of a ride, with most scores falling on the low or high end, and that came as a massive surprise to me considering this is easily one of her greatest ballads. This is arguably one of her most intimate and vulnerable moments, her raspy vocal given bountiful space to soar amongst a thinly plucked riff.

Short and sweet by design, its simple lyricism and delicate vocals help translate this gorgeous melody - unfortunately it seemed like most people found that either too slow or boring, I guess you'll never find love.



Commentary corner:

@rick: (8) Yes it’s a rip off of She’s Like The Wind but it’s still a lovely little track

@Txetxu: (9) Gorgeous and sombre.

@abael: (5) When it comes to these more intimate slow songs the best stuff from Pink is yet to come.

@tylerc904: (7) I used to find this skippable but it has revealed itself to be quite beautiful.

@Music Is Life: (10) Okay so we’re all agreed this is too short right? Such a beautiful closer, really rounds out the album, and as a song on its own it’s kind of amazing and gorgeous. I love her voice on this, and the guitar throughout. I feel like if it was just a little longer – actually you know what? It’s a 10 no matter what length it is.

@Maki: (7.75) I overlooked this album closer for quite a while, but it showed its beauty over time. It's simple, yet effective. It takes a bit to get to the powerful part, where her emotions take over, and the song length does it justice. Not among her best ballads, but a really nice effort that I can definitely appreciate.

@R27: (7.5) A little corny, but also rather lovely.

@savilizabeths: (8) “This is such a beautiful, touching little moment. I really love it.”

Wow, this is surprising. That is probably the last song that I would think was so divisive (and would receive an 11 and so many 10's).
I really thought that the reception of this song would be on a more unremarkable side.

As much as I enjoy "Love Song", there was always something missing that would make me classify it among her amazing ballads. And this is coming from someone who usually adores P!nk's more emotional ballads (in case you haven't noticed that already). That bridge remains brilliant, though.
The lack of commentary is kind of expected, but still adds to the mystery of where all those low scores are.

After all, "Love Song" actually got a perfect placement in my book (i.e. around the middle of the countdown).

Noooooooo I remember the first time I heard this song not expecting much and somehow I couldn't stop looping it over and over...it really should have landed top 50 but it did well enough.

And to everyone who scored it below a #7... I just wanna have a chat, especially with you @happiestgirl
