This Rate (Will Be My Downfall) - The Ellie Goulding rate (WINNER ANNOUNCED - I'M FREE)

I loved this rate. I went into it as a casual Ellie fan and now I find myself constantly returning to these wonderful songs I've re-discovered. I can't wait for her next era now.

My Blood is a great winner, but in Lost And Found I discovered a new favourite song that fits me perfectly.

Nn these results align so much more closely with my scores, with a couple of exceptions. Yas @ Stay Awake triumphing past Goodness Gracious.

The results here have definitely been mixed, from someone who's been a fan from the beginning. To me, Halcyon represented such strong artistic growth and built on Lights; the production, the lyricism, the storytelling are all improved tenfold and it's one of my favourite albums ever. Days is, of course, a mixed bag but not without merit.

Anyway, spiel aside, I've thoroughly enjoyed following the rate. Thanks for hosting, @constantino, it's been a pleasure.

Good job, sister Constance, you've been an amazing host, albeit shady as fuck, but that's precisely what I loved about the whole affair. All in all, it was a great rate and the final scores are not too shabby either.

My Top 10 would've been much different, but with that said you did a brilliant job hosting your first rate @constantino. I made multiple discoveries and re-discoveries (like getting my life to Wonderman several times). I learned a lot about her career from the write-ups as well. I might have been ultra messy about the early eliminations for Burn and Outside, but the only one I'm truly confused by is Atlantis not being in the Top 10. I wouldn't have chosen this winner, but I've already made peace with it. (You can't fight democracy, etc.)

Oh well. It's a bit of a double-edged sword as whilst I do prefer Lost and Found as a song, and whilst it's easily the most Ellie-esque song on Delirium, it does come from an album that represents her artistic nadir thus far.

Meanwhile, My Blood is from her artistic zenith. There are other songs from the main Halcyon album I prefer (Figure 8, Joy, Dead In the Water), but I think My Blood encapsulates the overall soundscape of and purpose behind the album better than any other single song on it. So I'm not too disgruntled...

Thanks for the rate @constantino! Though I didn't vote, I've really enjoyed following the reveals!

Just saw the final top 5 after being away on holiday! What a deserving win for 'My Blood', so so ecstatic! Also a fantastic second placing for 'Lost & Found'! @constantino thanks for running this fantastic rate, you have exceptional taste!

My Blood would have been my second choice for my 11 so since my first choice for my 11 (Dead in the Water) had no chance, I'm thrilled about this winner. I think it represents Ellie perfectly, too.
