I think we've decided with enthusiasm who the Disney-Pop "Big Pop Girls" are: Aly & AJ, Hilary, Ashley, Miley, Demi, Selena, but I think we all knew that coming in. How far will we go until it's just them left? We only need to eliminate Miranda, Lindsay, and Sabrina.
she/her
No we don't.
he/him
Correct, Incorrect, and Correct.
Lindsay being this hated on the forum is definitely one of the biggest surprises in a rate since Ace Reject won the Sugababes rate.
she/her
Close enough. But the other girls still have quite a few songs here that are worse than any of the remaining songs by those three, is what I'm saying!
Come & Get It deserved to be in the top 20 because of its middle 8 alone, you heathens.
he/him
But no need to worry because they're all safe today.

Voter Bloc 4: #31
Voter Bloc 5: #34
Final Voters: #37
Charts: #63 (U.S.) #165 (UK) #92 (Australia) #66 (Canada)
Release: The second single from their second album Insomniatic. The release in the UK was cancelled and this was their last single released before changed their name to 78Violet and leaving Hollywood Records. To promote the album, "Like Whoa", "Potential Breakup Song", "Bullseye", and "Silence" were sent to radio stations and an overwhelming 95% of fans wanted this to be a single.
Songwriters: Aly Michalka, AJ Michalka, Tim James, Antonina Armato.
Lyrics: The song is simply about the thrill of being in a new relationship and its rollercoaster feelings it involves which was a point of interest from the positive reviews it received. It was also well received for its positive outlook on life.
Hazey's Focus: I would've been one of the fans screaming for "Bullseye" or especially "Silence" (one of my all-time favorite Aly & AJ songs) to be singles instead of this. It's no secret that I've never been a big fan of it and consider it to be one of the few low points on an otherwise incredible album (one of my Top 10 favorites). Every time I listen to it, like I did for this rate, I'm like "oh yeah the verses are fun and kind of a bop" until we reach the chorus which I just find to be a tuneless mess. It mirrors my feelings towards Miley's "Fly on the Wall" in this respect except that one is worse and I love the Slaay Sisters more.
Well...hmmm I've never thought they looked like this but high praise in the looks category from @Sally_Harper (4): "This isn’t great. I’m also a bit distracted because in the video one looks like Kelly Clarkson and the other one looks like Paris Hilton, and it’s bizarre. Is that what they normally look like? I still have no idea which is which, by the way." Some delusional fans have taken their interest in them too far, as they've been stalked on two separate occasions.

It's bizarro world in the case of @livefrommelbs (6) because they're hearing the exact opposite of what I'm hearing: "The chorus is a bop, but the verses have always lost me a bit."
Even @WhenTheSunGoesDown (7) isn't exactly thrilled by this one when I was sure it was just the right amount of a wild ride for him: "I’m known to love songs that don’t overstay their welcome, but this one’s too short for even me! It builds and builds and then…. just kind of ends with a whimper."
@Martyn (7.5) is mesmerized by the video: "All the ping pong balls."
@Remorque (8) is willing to let it slide on account of keeping it real: "I actually love the production here, but like me, everything on display here is a bit of a mess."
It's what @Pecans (8) wanted from them: "I love a track with some sass and punch, and Like Whoa delivers just that."
Something tells me that @unnameable (9) and I may have some of the same favorites: "pretty good, but not their best"
@Sprockrooster (10) is 100% feeling the vibe: "A rollercoaster of a song and I am loving it."
I'm sorry @iheartpoptarts (10) but I'd be finding something else to sing: "Reminds me of some Disney pop karaoke video game I had where this song was pretty much the first thing you heard when you turned it on. I should find it!"

That makes it sound like they're soon. Hmmmm.
I think I remember an earlier conversation (years ago) about this woman which made you quite surprised it could be so loved. But a lot of time has passed so I could easily be mistaken.

I'm shook that Come and Get It has been eliminated! That's gotta be the biggest shocker so far. Not bothered about the Aly & AJ stuff tho. Oh at all.

Unfortunately it's the best of the three 'artist-elimination' songs that goes first.

#35 (tie). Miranda Cosgrove - Kissin U - 7.588

Final Voters: #35
Charts: #54 (U.S.) #51 (Austria) #64 (Germany)
Certifications: Gold (U.S.)
Release: Only single from Miranda's debut album Sparks Fly in March 2010.
Songwriters: Miranda Cosgrove, Dr. Luke (producer), Claude Kelly, also produced by Ammo.
Lyrics: In an interview with Ryan Seacrest, Miranda had the following to say: "The song's about your first love or thinking you're falling in love, so it's just kind of a really happy, sweet song. I did write it about a guy, and I'm afraid he might have heard it and he's going to figure it out!" Miranda went on to say that the first two words you ear in the song were what inspired the album's title.
Reviews: "Kissin U" received mainly positive reviews for being a great bubblegum-pop song. Some compared it favorably to a early-Taylor swift cut, while some said it was only slightly behind Selena's "Naturally" for the best teen-pop songs of the time. Other critics thought it 'played it safe' and was far too saccharine.
Hazey's Focus: Never in a million years did I think "Kissin U" would be voted Miranda's best song here, because I thought "Dancing Crazy" had a much bigger following around here and I wasn't even sure anybody knew this one, or remembered it. It's was always going to be that or "About You Now" because of the Sugababes connection. So get this, I consider this my #2 song from Miranda and that's only because "BAM" grew into the Ultimate Popjustice Top 20 song it is now. Prior to whenever that happened, I was absolutely obsessed with this song. I'd say that obsession has worn off, but I'll get every bit of my life whenever it's playing, don't even doubt that. There's this perfect laid back melody running throughout the song where lines just seem to glide right into one another and it makes it so fun to sing along to. That one line "almost like the puzzle piece I've been trying to find" is on another level with your it was vocally produced. I hate Dr. Luke for obvious reasons, but damn could he put together a masterpiece. The other highlight is the middle eight and how it reconnects back into the main song, which has always been one of my favorite elements in a pop song.
Wait @iheartpoptarts (7) this score is something you were steadfast about protecting? I'm betting you're happy Lindsay and Sabrina have held on for the moment then: "Generic but pretty. Meanwhile, Big Time Rush just came up on the YouTube sidebar and I’m so tempted to have a boyband moment, but I won’t. Are you proud, Hazey?"
Seeing this image from @WhenTheSunGoesDown (7.5) never gets old:
"I still stan by this tweet". It's scripture.
The description @Mina (8) gives makes me wonder where her 0 was, so for thank we thank you: "This sounds like it could've been a Hilary Duff ft. autotune song circa 2005."
The effortlessness on display was recognized by @Sally_Harper (8): "This is rather lovely and she sounds gorgeous on it. The nonchalant way she sings “I might die” at the start made me cackle. Amazing."
I'm hoping @31entrance (8.25) has at least heard High Maintenance in full: "I actually wouldn’t mind another record from Miranda her first album had cute little bops like this one."
While @unnameable (9) appreciates the song for exactly the feelings it was meant to evoke: "neatly captures the early moments of romance".
Oh and if no one listens to my all-time favorite "BAM" and compliments its amazingness, rate cancelled~

No @DJHazey I haven't heard it beyond the singles I believe and I will keep it that way because I love the first album and the second album well...
Also Miranda seems to have a high average considering the fact she has more than one song
