What Do You Take Me For - 8. I do really like the backing track but there's not enough Pixie.

My times has come! Here We Go Again is Pixie's best album track. And it's not just me saying: all the 7 remaining songs are singles.
Here We Go Again, this bitch of a track, was produced by RedOne and Steven Kipner, aka legends of pop music. They should've released this as a single, just saying. Imagine how better this would fare in the place of Broken Arrow for example. Bye!
In case you did not know, this is RedOne:
This is what I had to say about my 11: "Well, well, well, what can I say? When I listened to the "Red One, Pixieeeee" I knew this was going to be good! Here We Go Again encapsulates the essence of Pixie's first album: she sounds girly, but not too much to sound childish; the beat is so twinkly and there's that motown/retro element that fits her so well, but infused with synths and modern elements (well, RedOne says it all). This track is the single that never was! Conflicting feelings about wheter going out dancing or staying home in the lyrics and that amazing pre-chorus "I need that medicine and the cure ain't aspirine" are genius tbh! The glossy production is the icing on the cake. I'm sold!"
Won't give any spoilers because things are getting too obvious at this stage, but place your bets: which two tracks will miss the top 5?

Here We Go Again - 7. I feel bad for being one of the lowest scorers of our venerable hosts 11. But this is average generic RedOne to me, although still enjoyable. I gave a similar score to 'Boys Boys Boys ' in the Gaga rate of which this reminds me.
When it comes to what songs are leaving before the Top 5, I'm not sure. Although I think it could be between
'Turn It Up,' 'Lay Me Down' and 'Baby' (although I don't want it to be 2 of those).

Hmmmm... I'm saying 'Baby' & being maybe a little crazy and also gonna pick 'Mama Do'.

Here We Go Again really does bop! Was one of my contenders for an 11.
I think Cry Me Out and Baby will leave before the top 5.

At least one of you got this one right.
Oh, it's someone's 11, but that will happen very often from now on

Cry Me Out
Average: 8.814

Cry Me Out is Pixie Lott's best ballad. And once again, it's not just me saying, it's the numbers!
@Verandi didn't send any write up about their 11, but I'm pretty sure it's a very important song to them! The last "cry" song is out!
"I got your emails, you just don't get females, now do you?" is such a killer opening line for a song! The in ya face attitude (in a ballad!) and the hacker skills altogether!
It was written with frequent collaborators Mads Hauge and Phil Thornalley, the same guys that wrote Champion (our #10) and Pixie's first two singles.
This is Phill (in the 80s tho).
Cry Me Out was Pixie's third single and although it didn't reach #1 like its two predecessors (it peaked at #12), it became a crowd sing-along moment in every concert and festival. I've never seen sis performing live, but just seeing the videos, it's beautiful my friends!

One more track to miss the top 5.

A nice bop, but not another cover in Pixie's career! We had enough!
While @Verandi find some words to express their appraisal for Cry me Out, let's get to the top 5, shall we?

Turn It Up
Average: 8.957
Max: 10.0 x 5 (@WhenTheSunGoesDown, @Phonetics Girl, @pop3blow2, @Laurence, @TwistedInnocence) 9.5 (@berserkboi) 9.2 (@berserkboi)

The most 10s so far! Whew!
Title track of debut album is pretty cute. Usually in songs about breaking a former lover is dissing the other one or it's all about lamentation. But not this one! This one is about coming to terms with breaking up and stating everything will be fine for both sides involved! How mature for a 19-year old Pixie back in the day!
Track was produced by danish Mich Hansen, aka Cutfather, who produced also a bunch of British artists (JLS, Olly Murs, Mel C, to name a few) and more recently with Norwegian singer Dagny. He was also a judge on 2 seasons of The X Factor Denmark.

My 11 made it to the top 5! What a treat. Also - an incredible top 5 of bops. All deserving winners.
Some more Steven commentary:
Band Aid - Mariah Carey wants her song back. At least it's short.
Without You - The irony of calling this reissue "Turn It Up (Louder)" and stacking it with midtempo, scaled back weepers. I found myself bopping at the end.
Rolling Stone - This haunting take on Avril's "What the Hell" on the intro. This song is the first "Louder" that may earn its name.
Doing Fine (Without You) - This would score higher but the bridge is offensively bad.
Nobody Does It Better - Inexplicably adore this song. There is something so buoyant and "Pixie" about this one, like an elevated version of her first album.
Champion - The hits just keep on coming. This song is very "the song from the Internet Explorer ad in 2012," hoping that it is a universal reference ("Too Close" by Alex Clare?)
Heart Cry - Makes me want to sing backup for her and do some light choreo as she reads her ex for filth on the talent show stage (this feels very high school talent show original song in a great way)

And another batch of Steven commentary:
Cry Baby - It's no "Baby" but it's still bopping! I love this chorus.
Won't Forget You - I adore this song and the deranged shoddy video that goes with it. A bona fide Platinum Pixie HIT!
Ooh La La - It's no Smurfs soundtrack "Ooh La La"
Bright Lights - Have you SEEN the way they've done Pixie's hair in the music video for this! She's like a young British Suze Orman! This is much better than Part I.
We Own The Night - A pleasure so guilty it ceases to be guilty. The Kelly Clarkson version slaps! The Pixie version slaps (I think it exists?) and the Selena version grazes, but this song is a certified smash. Love that the only reason Pixie gets a feature is because they were too lazy to take her vocals off the demo she sent.

Cry Me Out - 9. Great 60's throwback, the production is luscious and the melody is gorgeous.

Turn It Up - 8.5. From the 3 songs I mentioned, this is the one I wanted to leave before the Top 5. It's a fun enjoyable song and would have got a 9 if not for the pointless 'hey's in the chorus.
