SO! Time for another prediction question! Now that the obvious #14 has left, which of the REAL songs on the album will be the first to leave next?

That's better, much better :) It's nothing wrong with this song and she sang nice even when she was little but there are 13 songs on this album that this one can't compare with. Now I can finally go to sleep Edit: I think Still Holding On is going to be eliminated next

I fell for your trick for a few seconds. I was like, “Wait, what....how!?!?” Haha. But yeah, I would have legitimately been shocked if anything but I’m Little But I’m Loud was at the bottom. Cute introduction, but doesn’t come close to touching any of the other songs on the album.

Gonna predict the first actual song to leave will be "One Day You Will" just because that's what I'm hoping for, but I honestly dunno how people feel about most of these songs, so...

I love One Day You Will so I hope it is not that. I honestly like every song on this album so I'm gonna hope and predict that either I Won't Close My Eyes, Valentine or Keeping My Distance

Maybe Sara should've been lead then? LOL j/k, but now I have to listen to it AGAIN, since you pointed that out. Edit: Where did I rank the other?

9) Any other thoughts/predictions? I think most of the singles will float toward the top (except for #1 which may be an album track), EXCEPT FOR Still Holding On and Valentine, which will be mixed in with the remaining album tracks in the bottom half of the rankdown. Also that the bottom song would not have recovered from last place even with a #1 rank. I don't really base these predictions on anything. I would just like to point out that dub is totally correct with this prediction about the last song! "I'm Little But I'm Loud" finished with 231 points, and #13 finished with 180. Translation? In order for ILBIL to have NOT been last place, we would have had to receive 4 more submissions at the last minute, all of whom put ILBIL at #1 and the next song in last place! Hint? Let's just say that another big name recording artist helped provide background vocals for this next song...

I am timeless. I am patient. I’m the feelin’ you call ‘love’.
13. "One Day You Will"
Track #13 Runtime: 2:37 Songwriters: Richard Leigh, Shane Teeters Vocal Range: F#3 - B4
Leo ✔For the first real song to leave the rankdown, we say goodbye to one of the more laid-back and relaxed songs of the album. "One Day You Will" features fairly sparse production and a very simple melody, and allows Martina to settle into a more restrained vocal performance that differs from the rest of the album. Accordingly, since her powerful voice has always been my favorite part of this album, this has always been one of the more boring songs on the album to me. And for the most part, y'all agreed with me! It was far from being the collective least favorite on the album, but it WAS the most consistent song remaining to place in the back half of people's rankings, as can be seen by the fact that this has the 3rd-lowest standard deviation as well as stayed at #13 for almost the entire submission process. Still, BackwoodsBarbie accrues the very first top 5 loss of the rankdown as she loses her #4 earlier than she would have liked. Regarding the hint, this song features background vocals from fellow country music "star" Jason Sellers. Sorry to get your hopes up d3vin44, but there is NO WAY the Sara Evans features would have gone out this early

Aww One Day You Will is great. It may be slow and a much softer vocal from Martina but it shows how great her voice is because she can pull off this type of song so well plus do the power ballads as well.

Even though it is my #13, this one has grown on me so much through the years! There is so much musicality to this song that I did not appreciate as a kid.

"Meaning, purpose, Got lost in pursuit of my dreams."12. "Here In My Heart"
Track #12Runtime: 3:51Songwriters: Susan Ashton, Gayla BordersVocal Range: F3 - C#5
Total: 172 Average: 10.12 Std Dev: 2.45 (2nd smallest) .indulgecountry - 6 bboat11 - 7 d3vin44 - 7 castleoblivion26 - 8 BlueShades874 - 8 someguy - 8 Kanenrá:ke - 9 BackwoodsBarbie - 10 codyj100 - 11 dub - 11 tim - 11 fearlessarrow - 12 born - 12 Cody Wants Out... - 12 kansasmeetsmo - 13 cerulean - 13 @adam1995 - 14 Leo ✔This song's elimination at #12 is the first one that hurts for me... A nice #7 ranking of this for me is enough to put this among my favorite songs of all time. It has always been a really interesting song to me because the instrumentation, production, and vocal structure is very unique among Martina's discography. This song stands out in a good way to my ear. I was not expecting this to make it any higher than the midway point in this rankdown, but I am definitely shocked to see it leave this early. I thought it might at least outlast 3 or 4 more songs that are still in. This song was a #12 contender for the vast majority of the submission process. @adam1995 loses his #14, meaning that only 4 people are left with their last place song still in. Nobody loses a top 5, but .indulgecountry, d3vin44, and myself all come close!

One Day You Will is perfect from first note on. I really like the laid back and calming vibe it gives off. Great lyrics and instrumentation perfectly complement her voice.
I like this song the first time I heard it and I feel that it's still getting better everytime I listen to it. I think this type of songs suits her just as well as songs where she shows all her vocal power.

Damn, "Here in My Heart" was literally what I was torn between guessing over "Some Say I'm Running." The first two I didn't care for, but I loved this one. I could tell it wouldn't do that well though.

One Day You Will is a really nice song, but doesn't really stand out among most of the other songs on the album. I'm really bummed to see Here in My Heart out so early. Several years ago when I first listened to this album all the way through, this was one of my favorite non-singles. We're pretty much already at that point where almost every reveal is gonna be painful. I'm hoping to see I Don't Want to See You or Some Say I'm Running out next, but I'm worried that Still Holding On is gonna be out much sooner than I would like after reading some of the comments on here...

how are "One Day You Will" and "Here In My Heart" the first two real songs eliminated from this album? I just don't understand...
...scratch that I do understand with "One Day You Will" but "Here In My Heart" is amazing and I really thought it would do a lot better than 12th place.
For the last song that misses the Top 10 I am going to say that I'd be okay with "Happy Girl" (please just go away soon!), "Keeping My Distance", "Valentine" and "Some Say I'm Running" going. Love the last 3 songs. Literally the only song I don't like is "Happy Girl" as that is one of the lowest points of Martina's entire discography for me.

"There are two kinds of love: Those who are true, and those untrue. I see black and white. Are you somewhere lost between the two?"
11. "I Won't Close My Eyes"
Track #9 Runtime: 3:39 Songwriters: Kevin Montgomery, Larry Gottlieb Vocal Range: G3 - A4Total: 150Average: 8.82Std Dev: 3.13BackwoodsBarbie - 3BlueShades874 - 4born - 5d3vin44 - 6dub - 7fearlessarrow - 7cerulean - 8Cody Wants Out... - 9castleoblivion26 - 10.indulgecountry - 10Kanenrá:ke - 10codyj100 - 10kansasmeetsmo - 11someguy - 11bboat11 - 12@adam1995 - 13tim - 14Leo ✔I am definitely not surprised to see this song leaving next. Honestly I thought it would be out soon er! I figured this would be 3rd in line after "I'm Little But I'm Loud" and "One Day You Will". Fortunately for this song, it was able to garner more support than "Here In My Heart".
As you can see from the graph below, this was the most erratically-performing song that we have seen thus far. It was pretty much always destined to miss the top 10, but otherwise it jumped around quite a bit before holding mostly steady at #11. This is also the first song we have had that is not a low standard deviation. It managed to miss 5 peoples' top 10s, but also managed to make 3 peoples' top 5s, which is a record amount of highs so far. BackwoodsBarbie loses her 2nd top 5 placement, after having "One Day You Will" at #4 a couple eliminations ago. Meanwhile tim loses his #14, meaning there are just 3 left!
