Awww I'm sad to see Going Nowhere leaving! I do really enjoy it and, as said before, the lyrics are quite cooler than the usual.

Bolded = HELL NO!
Unbolded = Leave them alone, they can stay for a bit

Noooooooo. Now I look super stupid.

Never. Just change your original post to underlined songs and then we can delete the quotes and pretend it never happened.
Nevermind, seems you've already made changes, but you're never stupid.
The bolded tracks all deserve top 20 at least. In fact 'I Won't' is one of the best on Get Weird...
You're not the only one so let them criticise...
You're untouchable when you realise...

#38 Change Your Life
Average: 6.526
Highest Score: 10 x 5 (@Remorque, @beyoncésweave, @Markus1981, @DJHazey, @munro)
Lowest Score: 0 x 1 (@Blayke - quelle surprise!)
And so. Perhaps one of the most polarising tracks of the whole rate makes its exit at a respectable #38. Even five 10's at this early stage of the rate couldn't save it! The scoring breakdown was so fucking weird - over 20 scores of below 6 and the rest above 8. I fucking love this song so so much and if I had voted it would have been an easy 10. It's a bop and a half and although the subject matter is revisited time and time again with the girls, I feel as if they're quite sincere here and that piano riff is soaring. Makes me wanna punch the sky.
Change Your Life was the third single taken from its parent album and did quite well in the UK, peaking at #12. It had most success in Australia though, reaching #3 and going double platinum to finish at #75 in the year-end charts. It was featured on an advert of one of Australia's biggest renovation shows and it was fucking everywhere here. Like, proper massive. I was so proud. It was the first song written for DNA while on The X Factor 2011 tour and the girls quite like it. Jade told Digital Spy that they were "we were thinking about the fans so the song is quite an important one; I think it's quite uplifting". Some of you agreed with her while others were left shaking your head in disgust.
We'll kick things off with resident Zayn (and Little Mix) stan ohnostalgia, who was unimpressed. "It's too early in your career to be bringing out the speak-singing. You need to build trust with your fans first!" she said. With The Bands thought it would've made a good Winner's Single, saying it was "cheesy but cute/inspiring", while GhettoPrincess was not having any of it, labelling the track "so dull". DJHazey came through for me again with his praise. "This is the song that made me a fan; I still remember checking out YouTube video for the very first time and being blown away. I don't think I'll ever understand why I always see it dragged to hell. The spoken parts of the verses are probably a key factor, but I've always loved them from day one. The soft "nooo" replies and the racing pianos keys take me places every time and the melody that follows is driven and in your face. Love it all unashamedly! YAS, STAN FOR YOUR LIFE. Munro joined Hazey in lavishing praise on this saying that although he found the lyrics a bit bland, "the delivery more than makes up for it. Vocally this is absolutely perfect".
Mr. Humes is going on my Ignore List (not really boo) for his wrong comments. "Boring, isn't it? The lyrics are totally meh, the chorus is... Cute. I love Perrie's adlibs, but that's it," he grumbled. This is just a nO. Vixen has been very vocal throughout about how much she hates this song but surprisingly didn't give it a zero. She still dragged the fuck out of it though. "It's so garbage", she said. "I can't believe they even thought for a second this would make a good album track, let alone a decent single." I thought we were pals but I don't know if we can get past this. Totto didn't love it either but it's grown on him. "I used to hate this. I always thought it was a 3," he said. 2014 couldn't get past the lack of vocals from his fave, saying it was "cute but not enough Jade". TheOnlyOne felt it was kinda redundant considering just two singles ago they released something quite similar: "I question how needed this was with Wings already existing. Negative points for not only being a horrible single choice but also for minimal singing by Jade". Jade stand unite! First2Run conceded that the song was "well-written and has pretty elements" but thought they "just don't sound their best on it - it's not bad but they can do better".
mat.overboard rightfully praised Perrie's high note and said it had grown on him a lot. "I tend to go over the whole discography of any artist prior the release of a new album. When having a go at this one I had to repeat it on loop just for the sake of Perrie’s high notes by the end, which, gladly, she could reach them all during a show for Kiss FM Secret Session. She looked so proud of it!" he enthused. Beyoncesweave gave it a 10 and was all too happy to explain why: "I know this is the essence of basicness, with lyrics to match, but goddamn if this isn't one perfect, compulsively listenable pop song. Perrie's lead-out into the final chorus just might be the band's finest moment". Remorque gained even more brownie points in my book. "I fucking adore this song. Though it’s a bit “dear diary” to me, their harmonies on this one absolutely ****. Jade sounds on top form here and although I was never a big fan of Perrie’s early voice, she really turns it out with those ad-libs on this." I love you for this boo.
Petty Mayonnaise wasn't quite as enthusiastic, grumbling, "the overall sound of this song is a bit “Praise & Worship Hits” for me. Quite cheesy. At least their vocals are good, but that’s pretty much a given". JuanJose had mixed feelings, saying "I like the melody, Leigh's spoken bits (British accent is amazing!) and the buildup, but I am really not here for empower-mix". Resident low scorer Blayke said it was an "abysmal song that had an awful melody". "I hated the tired, insipid theme and the overall song made my stomach churn. I also loathe that this song is used for SO many theme songs in Australia. How ridiculous." And Laura Vanderbooben leaves us with a frankly unfactual opinion: "the verses are not excellent and I hate inspirational songs but the chorus rescues it. Fuck me up with those ad libs, Perrence."

Devastating, just absolutely devastating. I can't say I didn't see this coming, but that's never going to make it hurt any less. @Remorque, @beyoncésweave, @Markus1981, and @munro you're all bae and in my hearts forever.
@JuanJose you brought up Leigh's accent and YES those British accents just make me melt every time.
I don't know what all the haters are hearing because to me the talking parts and everything surrounding them, make the verses so unique sounding. The whole thing is very dramatic and theatrical because of it.

I didn't vote because I hadn't had my votes done up till the end and because I knew all the results I wanted to stay impartial and transparent. The next rate I do I'll definitely vote. If I get a next rate that is.. I hope I'm doing a good job of this one haha.

Thanks for the explanation and you're doing wonderful! I look forward to your future rates.

I_CANNOT_USE_REAL_WORDS_PROPERLY_, This just reminds me of your iconic "Come on, squeeze it in, you know you want to." comment from the Buffy rate.
Your hosting is very good, I am enjoying this very much!

People don't want to be uplifted? *Shrugs*

Yes, let me own that Zayn Stan with pride and not embarrassment like some suggest.
I'm still boggling that this is the song that made @DJHazey a Little Mix fan.
It motivates me to listen to less boring and basic music?
