Incredible commentary!
It's a Z-list joke referring to "bump" being another word for a line of coke.

- Thread starter DJHazey
- Start date
Last one for now has our first 11 going, so I hope that voter isn't too upset by how early it's leaving us...
#92. Bella Thorne - Call It Whatever - 5.888
Highest: 11 (@WhenTheSunGoesDown) 10 (@Charley)
Lowest: 0 (@GhettoPrincess) 1 (@Sally_Harper) 2 (@Blond)
My Score: 7
Voter Bloc 1: #100
Voter Bloc 2: #97
Voter Bloc 3: #97
Voter Bloc 4: #91
Voter Bloc 5: #93
Final Bloc: #92
Charts: #10 (U.S. Hot Club Dance)
Info: Bella first heard the song while filming for the movie Blended in Africa and immediately thought it would be a fun addition for her and called it her youngest-sounding song. Bella says the song is about two people who don't really know what to call their relationship so they just call it whatever. The video was shot at Cadillac Jack's Diner in San Fernando Valley, which is a famous diner because it has been used for several music videos including Cher Lloyd's "Want U Back".
Hazey's Focus: Our 11-giver shouldn't be too surprised that I didn't give it one of my highest scores as I've noted a few times how it's far from my favorite thing from her. I have no issues with the amount autotune, though it's a bit overdone in the prechorus and becomes a turn off there. The whole package is a bit too 'by the numbers' for this style of teen-pop while still being catchy enough that I wouldn't tell someone to hit skip.
@GhettoPrincess (0) has never been one to hold back, simply calling it "awful" while @Sally_Harper politely said "not for me, thanks." I would imagine this song would make people react one way or another but @Martyn (3.25) seems to able to leave the experience behind quickly: "Whatever indeed… Forgetable."
@unnameable (6) is willing to allow Bella's charms to shine through: "Bella isn’t amazing, but there’s something likeable about this." @Pecans (7) may have the clue to while those charms exist: "She’s like a child version of Bonnie McKee. I mean, this is fun, but it’s sort of limp… despite the chorus attempting to be huge." I'm mad I didn't think of that comparison first, it's perfect. You should all know by now that when @iheartpoptarts (8) watches a video she'll find something to be detracted by. In this case it was positive vibes all around: "The world needs more retro style diners. They’re so fun. I want a milkshake."
@WhenTheSunGoesDown (11) sounds as if he knew what was coming but I'd still expect a meltdown forthcoming:
"This song desperately needs my 11 cause it’s a bunch of hard-to-appreciate, acquired-taste noise, but it’s truly all I want in a pop song. Synthy, overly upbeat, loud, catchy, hand claps and struggle vocals. Someone please leak her unreleased album before I die!"
I literally let out a high-pitched "Oh no, my baby!!!" when I saw this post.

@WhenTheSunGoesDown I stan you.
Everyone should have cotton candy on their single/album covers, I mean, seriously.

The album booklet apparently had roller skates and beaded curtains too. Oh, what could have been.

I wish they'd given that whole album to someone who, you know, wanted it.
Is it too late to recycle it?

Oops I feel bad for tanking anyone's 11 but I honestly couldn't stand the Bella songs.
she/her
It's fun watching the Cheetah Girls attempt the whole Scary Spice animal print thing half a decade after it was popular.
she/her
Probably a lot, because I think you said you gave out something like 45 10s, no?
You're such a Disney icon - thanks for coming in here and knocking it out of the park even though you're sick on holiday!
I like Bella the actress, but Bella the singer is strictly an also-ran. It would be nice if we could hear her unreleased album, but it's not a colossal loss to the musical world.
Now I'm wondering if those people gave negative scores to some of the songs?? Since it seems like there's no way someone can beat @GhettoPrincess and @Sally_Harper for lowest scorer place unless they gave scores below zero, kii.
he/him
The ballots I refused were literally decent to high scores for one or two artists and something like 1, 1, 1, 3, 2, 0, 2, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 3, 2, 2, 2, 1, 0 for everything else.
Now I'm curious which artists weren't tanked on those ballots!
@demilovatostan strikes again

In other randomness, I'm lowkey sad that it appears Cadillac Jack's is not an actual operational diner you can show up and order food at.

I'll be posting some new eliminations today, but it's my first day back at work so I've got to catch up with that first.
In case anyone was wondering what my health issues were, I've been dealing with debilitating back pain that flared up big time last week, so I tried not to spend too much time at my home computer the end of last week (where I do Popjustice stuff when at home).

Take your time! No need to rush!
