I hate "Fifteen." The sentiment is nice, but it's unbearable to listen to.

#7. "Breathe" (feat. Colbie Caillat)
Points: 363 Average: 8.29023 Standard Deviation: 5.22521 Hidden Message: I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry
This looks to be the most painful of the reveals yet, as we lose three #1s! This was always a contender for the top 5, and while it got close, CF15 tanked it out of the top 5 for good. This is one of the rare songs that Taylor has a feature on, and it was her first one to ever do so. It was nominated for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals at the 2010 Grammys, but lost to Jason Mraz' "Lucky" which also happened to have Colbie Caillat in the song.

In other news, "Fifteen" came out when I was sixteen and my high school girlfriend was fifteen. And I remember being so put off by the song at the time because I felt like it was trying to be critical of our relationship. It almost felt like it was stereotyping all fifteen-year-old girls as not knowing what they wanted in life, and like I was somehow taking advantage of her by being in a relationship with her... Looking at it now there are definitely some very solid lyrical moments, but I do still feel like the song is a little too stereotypical in the way it portrays teenage girls as if they are all victims of their own lives.

Unfortunately for .indulgecountry, the next song is an album track, which means "White Horse" is in fact in the top 5. We have two album tracks remaining, "You're Not Sorry" and "Forever & Always". Which one will get the boot next?

Oh no, not "Breathe"!!! That was one of my other favorite discoveries on the album. Taylor's performance felt much more mature to me than I expected, and Colbie's addition was very nice. This did not jump out at me immediately, but upon a second listen it was a no-brainer for my top 5.
Next will be "Forever And Always"!

"Breathe" is still one of the best things homegirl has ever recorded. Such a beautiful song.

Which one will get the boot next? "Forever & Always", I hope. Next will be "Forever And Always"! You didn't see it coming, and I didn't either when I was calculating the scores!! #6. "You're Not Sorry"
Points: 366 Average: 8.19355 Standard Deviation: 4.83548 Hidden Message: She can't have you
Well, this was my biggest surprise of the rankdown, that "You're Not Sorry" did NOT finish as the top-ranked album track. People praise this song a lot, so I thought this was pretty much a lock for the top-ranked album track. I expected "Forever & Always" to get tanked by some people and end up somewhere around #10, but it exceeded my expectations! I'm glad because I really love "Forever & Always". Upon its release as a promotional single, it peaked at #11 on the Hot 100 and since then it has been certified Platinum by the RIAA. This track was also used on CSI and received a remix for that purpose.

Vomit @ the non piano version of F&A placing above the flawless piano version and in the top 5. I need Fearless, White Horse, or Love Story to win this please.

Yeah, sorry for tanking Breathe. Just in my mind, it was the most mopiest song off the whole album.."Music starts playin' like the end of a sad movie..".

My friend borrowed me Fearless back when I was in high school. I was familiar with most of Taylor's singles up until that point, but that was about it. "You're Not Sorry" and "Forever & Always" were my immediate favorites of the songs I hadn't heard. Over time, the latter sort of burned on me but "You're Not Sorry" became my favorite. This album turned me into a fan.
I'm hoping "Love Story", "White Horse" or "Fearless" wins.

Fifteen is too high :sip2: .
Glad Fearless made the top 5, I think that's one of her most underrated singles.

But I will tell you that Taylor wasn't moping about a boy in this one since this song is about an end of a friendship... Fifteen is too high . Glad Fearless made the top 5, I think that's one of her most underrated singles. YES the love for "Fearless"!!! It was always one of my favorites from that album!

I'm doing pretty bad on this :(
My remaining ranks are: 4,6,8,17&19.
Although I like all of the songs, my 17 & 19 are songs I really don't come back to. And yet, I'm guessing those will probably do the best :(

Your top 5: Fearless Love Story White Horse You Belong With Me Forever & Always
1. Predictions for the top 5? 2. We kick off the top 5 with the song with the lowest SD. Which one could it be? 3. The highest SD is still in here as well! Which one do you think it might be?

I'll go out there and say:
5. Fearless (i can imagine this being lowest SD) 4. Forever & Always 3. White Horse 2. YBWM 1. Love Story
and highest SD is probably White Horse.

Places #10-#6 (well, excluding "Hey Stephen" of course) should've been the actual Top 5.

I am stunned at how this rankdown is unfolding. Are we really giving White Horse and Love Story Top 2? *GAG* I can understand not liking Tell Me Why, and even can let it go that The Way I Loved You fell flat in the rankdown, but how can anyone rank White Horse or Fearless higher than You're Not Sorry? BLEH

My remaining songs are: 8, 9, 14, 18, & 19.
Hoping my 18 and 19 don't win as they are two of the most overrated songs I've ever heard. I'd be okay with never hearing them again and really hope that one of my two remaining Top 10's can win!
