The suggestion is that they replace Heart, who aren’t actually a girl group.
He/Him
UPDATE!!
Hey everyone, we have substituted HEART for Baccara in the 70s section. Thank you to @Russron for digging them up as a replacement for HEART so all eras still have 12 songs to them.
@Russron was also generous enough to provide a few more youtube links for selected performances and have added them in as alternate links.
@Zar-Unity - you mentioned already having been through to 60s and 70s list, please re-review as required (especially since HEART is no longer on the list but Baccara is).
@londonrain - could I ask you to please update the SPOTIFY list to swap HEART out for Bacarra? Thanks so much!

Done!
The song's pretty good, their Wikipedia page was quite a depressing read though...
Wikipedia said:
I will miss Heart but they definitely felt a little out of place. I will NOT accept this 70s slander when the Pointer Sisters are on that list and "He's So Shy" continues to be MY song and bop like no other.

I'm so happy with the Baccara girls in the '70s list. That song is legendary!
And they get bonuspoints because they did eurovision...

Ouch, poor Shakespears Sis too! That is, if anybody was to rate their song solely on the basis of this:
PS. By the way, are we sure that calling the (comparatively) HD links just "alternate versions" is enough to convince those who might not read every single page of this thread that those are actually the primary ways to go if Youtube using people want to hear the original songs in all their glory? Now, the natural inclination might be to just click the first available link to see if it even opens for them and then leave it at that...
..you know, instead of this:

I love "Yes Sir, I Can Boogie" so I'm all for this swap!
Looks like HEART is still in the PM-able list, @berserkboi and @londonrain.

I agree with this. Surely it's best to just have the HQ audio version as the only link even if it doesn't have an associated video, @berserkboi? I know I'm rating entirely on the basis of the Spotify playlist but I'd like to think the YouTube voters are working from the same audio as I am and not from some low-quality live performance clip...

Whoops! Will fix all that once I get to work and can make the amendments. Thanks for being on top of everything with me, everyone!

UPDATE (again)
Sorry about some of the mess here, I am new to this formatting business and first rate issues also. I could not work out how to swap the links without making a mess of the links to youtube so have put a disclaimer to use bolded links for songs that have two versions for better quality audio.
The PM-able list also has been edited for Baccara to replace HEART.
Any other glaring mistakes, please let me know and I will ensure I do my editing again!
This is all giving me ANTM Cycle 13 teebs when finalists are changed and brought back after initial selection. Enjoy the messiness and let's hope the Erin of this list turns out victorious!

No biggie. As long as Overload stays on the list it's all fine for me. x
It's a shame Fuzzbox aren't here.

Or Vanity 6
Wasn't this a hit?

Nope. It didn’t even make the top 100 in the US and I don’t think it was released in the UK!
They never even came close to having a hit. Their fame now is mostly from their association with Prince and the mess that was Vanity.
