The 2007 Twenty Quid Music Prize

[Popjustice]

When I checked last Monday (the last date for eligibility) I couldn''t find Song 4 Mutya as a single download, so I didn''t feel I could put it in...

[hullaballoo]

I''m bored of Song 4 Mutya already, glad it''s not nominated.

[cleggar]

I agree that Me And My Imagination is better than Catch You.

Yep, it''s miles better. Lyrically, musically, vocally - in every way.

But Something Kinda Ooooh to win.

[Misty]

Every Lily Allen single is better than these singles:

Catch You, Foundations, Shine, Don''t Give It Up, Beware Of The Dog

Why wasn''t Lily Allen nominated?

Oh, don''t be so harsh on it. Just think how bored of it you will be one year from now!

[misterpete]

Every Lily Allen single is better than these singles:

Catch You, Foundations, Shine, Don''''t Give It Up, Beware Of The Dog

Why wasn''''t Lily Allen nominated?

I want to put you on a throne and crown you.



For being the Most Wrong Person In Existence.

[nickinoo]

If I could choose the order in which songs were knocked out, it would be this:

12. Robbie Williams - She''s Madonna
11. Kate Nash - Foundations
10. Booty Luv - Shine
9. Calvin Harris - Acceptable In The 80''s
8. Mark Ronson - Stop Me
7. Roisin Murphy - Overpowered
6. Bodyrox feat. Luciana - Yeah Yeah
5. Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Catch You
4. Jamelia - Beware Of The Dog
3. Amy Winehouse - Rehab
2. Siobhan Donaghy - Don''t Give It Up
1. Girls Aloud - Something Kinda Ooooh

I can imagine the outcome being a bit like this, actually.

For being the Most Wrong Person In Existence.

I happen to agree. LDN is one of the happiest most wonderful British pop singles of the year and shouldn''t be placed under Catch You. There''s a sense that nobody but Lily could have done LDN, it''s just a unique little song. Catch You (no offense) could have been given to anyone. Don''t Give It Up is good but it''s not that unique.

The prize isn''t for the most unique song, it''s for the best song.

[jsd]

well he did say "happiest most wonderful".... i think that covers "best".

i agree with kirkland. LDN has it all over many of the entries on the shortlist, and its omission is a popINjustice of massive proportions.

Lily allen deserved a nomination. I demand she be added to the short list.

Please?

The prize isn''t for the most unique song, it''s for the best song.

And it still should have been included. It''s far better than at least five songs on the list in my wee opinion. Catch You is okay but it''s pretty uninspired. Foundations is hopefully a fluke and Don''t Give It Up is fab but I still prefer LDN. LDN is so fresh and happy.

Would it really matter in the end though? In my opinion it''s really a six woman show this year with Jamelia going head to head to head to head to head with the Girls.

[jruk2007]

4. Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Catch You
3. Booty Luv - Shine
2. Girls Aloud - Something Kinda Ooooh
1. Jamelia - Beware Of The Dog

It is never going to happen though

[greg]

I have no fixed idea of how I''d rank them, such is the quality oif the list. Everytime, I try I end up changing the top song about umpteen times. There is a definite top six in my mind:

Rehab
Foundations
Something Kinda Ooooh!
Acceptable In The 80s
Shine
Beware Of The Dog

I suppose who I''d ultimately choose would depend on the moment. And peer pressure (meaning Girls Aloud probably would get my vote).

They are all great songs, yet if I were to choose a winner, I couldn''t. I don''t think any of them scream ''winner''.

[MenaFan]

If I would have to rate this , it would be:

12 Calvin Harris - Acceptable In The 80''''s
11 Kate Nash - Foundations
10 Bodyrox ft Luciana - Yeah yeah
09 Mark Ronson - Stop Me
08 Amy Winehouse - Rehab
07 Booty Luv - Shine
06 Robbie Williams - She''s Madonna
05 Roisin Murphy - Overpowered
04 Girls Aloud - Something Kinda Ooooh!
03 Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Catch You
02 Jamelia - Beware Of The Dog
01 Siobhan Donaghy - Don''t Give It Up

Siobhan''s song is the best in my opinion, masterpiece that is
