Sorry for the interruption, but I was passing by and saw the "Paint It Black" mention, and just had to point out my favorite version of the song, by a French legend who unfortunately passed away very recently: Even I thought this song wasn't a cover when I first discovered it, but then it clicked.

The fact that someone other than me gave Jennifer Lopez - Play as their answer is ICONIC. Show yourself!
Just to clarify: We'll be doing a part 2 of the rate featuring the 42 songs that were picked by more than one person as their favourite not in the rate. Until January 29 ya'll can rate them and PM me your scores, and after I finish the main rate eliminations (which should be around that time), I'll start the extra ones. The extra eliminations will be less detailed/more fast-paced than the main rate ones, and the plan is to wrap them up in about two weeks. Who and how many people picked each of the songs will be revealed as they get eliminated. And of course both people who didn't participate in the main rate and people who did but didn't pick their favourite extra songs are welcome to join.
Sorry for the almost double post but I just caught up with the thread... and this was the greatest plot twist in PopJustice history I think. @soratami keeps winning with this rate!
ddd I considered including it in the main rate, but it was deemed too controversial. I'm glad it got picked though, Christina deserves the credit for her contribution to the song.
Ahhhhhh! @soratami you're fucking iconic and amazing! I was not ready! Picking an 11 between two of these songs already will be hard.
@Maki - come and join us for this part!! Unless you don't like these 3 songs quoted, then don't bother! Ddddddd (xxx)
What ow wow. I'd like to change my Kelis vote to 'Bounce'. I love 'Hearts' I really wanted to highlight it. I just can't believe 'Bounce' didn't get more than 2 voters.
Not only did you give it a 10, we had this whole conversation then as well when you said you didn’t realise Vanessa’s version was a cover. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CeeLo_Green#Legal_troubles https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CeeLo_Green#Controversies
I hope @Maki joins too! It's only 40 songs, and it's quite an eclectic collection, so it should make for a fun rate. Later I'll tag some of the other people who were also going to join the main rate but ended up not doing it, hopefully a few will be up for this part.
Thanks for the invitation @soratami and @berserkboi! I'll definitely try to take part (and start listening to the songs in time).
