"Six Degrees of Separation" is the unlucky first out of this rankdown as it was the only song to finish with over 400 points and had only two real fans who put it in their Top 10. Most of us relegated this one to the bottom 5 instead, which includes seven last-place ranks (which is a hefty one third of the participants). This one didn't stand a chance -- the song that ultimately came in 23rd is the only other tune to ever give this one competition for the last place -- and given the few predictions I got, this reveal shouldn't come as a surprise to most of you. It's a funky song characterized by its use of a heavy vocal processing and a deliberately rough production, which likely turned most off. "Thought that I was safe down in New Orleans 'Til I picked up a quarter from nineteen seventy-nine "

I don't know why I liked this on first few listens of this album. It's quirky in a good way, unlike #23 (probably) which has weird placement in the album. Edit: NVM the last part of sentence lol.

I'll post my predictions now! 1) What song do you think will win (#1)? I'm gonna go ahead and give it to "Vice". Really wouldn't be surprised to see it be "Tin Man" though. 2) What song do you think will place last (#24)? Well, "Six Degrees of Separation" was going to be my prediction anyway, I just never posted it... Lol 3) Any locks for the Top 5? Bottom 4? Top 5: "Vice", "Tin Man", "To Learn Her", "Getaway Driver", and "Runnin' Just In Case". 4) Where do you think each of the three singles (Vice, We Should Be Friends, Tin Man) will place? "Vice" and "Tin Man" will be the top 2, with "We Should Be Friends" leaving just inside the top 20 (#18ish). 5) What will be the highest album track/non-single? "To Learn Her" has an outside shot, which I would love to see happen, but "Getaway Driver" seems to be the most universally-praised album track on the album, so it might prove to be unbeatable. Although I would personally prefer it to be "Runnin' Just In Case" if it can't be "To Learn Her". 6) Which side of the album do you think will perform better overall (i.e. how many songs from The Nerve vs. The Heart do you think will comprise our Top 10)? I don't know which side is which, but I could see it being a pretty even split. Maybe 6 from the first disc and 4 from the second? 7) Any chance your personal #1 might be the winner? I would say there is a chance, but it is a very small one! 8) Any other thoughts/predictions? The winner of this rankdown is going to make LBTrocks go on a rant even though he didn't even participate!

I like this one, it reminds me of the production of "Fine Line", which is one of hers I ADORE. This album is easily my least favorite of hers, so I assumed my loves, likes and dislikes wouldn't hold up well with the rest of the community.

This album is easily my least favorite of hers, so I assumed my loves, likes and dislikes wouldn't hold up well with the rest of the community. If you mean "Fine Tune," then I agree. I loved that that one too, but I think that song was much better than "Six Degrees of Separation," which is just kinda there for me, though I don't exactly dislike it. I don't even dislike the song that I put at #24.

The only choice for #24. Every other song on this email I can find at least some redeeming quality in. This is one of Miranda's absolute worst songs ever.

The only other song to really give "Six Degrees" any competition at the bottom was "Dear Old Sun," though that gap widened a bit in the second half when some later submissions were a bit kinder to it. Leo ✔ loses a Top 10 here, while two others lose their #24 here, and a further eight chip away at their bottom 4. This song is posed in the form of a fictional conversation (a bit similar to the concept of "Tin Man"), with Miranda talking to the sun in a pretty bare-bones song that is probably most notable for the way the harmony/background vocals are layered, particularly on the chilling "ooh-ooh-ooh" refrain. Not the most engaging tune on the record, so I'm not surprised to see many didn't feel too enamored by it. "February's been hard on a heart But we're near the end And it's almost March"

This was my best case scenario for #23 since I know my #23 has several people will have ranked it higher. It will probably be the last of my bottom 5 to leave, but hopefully it won't get too far into the teens

After a bottom 2 that fell on The Heart side of the album, we lose our first song from The Nerve in "Covered Wagon." This song also has the distinction of having the lowest high rank of anything on the album, as its only Top 10 rank comes from surfy who just barely snuck it in there at #10. Low passion does this one in as most people opted to slot this one in the middle of their bottom half, though not many dropped it all the way into their bottom 4. This toe-tapping rambling number sees Miranda finding jubilation in a gypsy lifestyle (a topic she's done previously, including "Highway Vagabond" on this album), but many of y'all decided to put this covered wagon in park because it didn't make it far in this rankdown at all. "Got an itch to ramble And I got no place to be The people in the city They ain't got no use for me"

The final song in our bottom 4 has us going back to The Heart to take "Bad Boy" out of the running. This one was a little more divisive as it takes out a total of 5 Top 10 ranks -- the most of any reveal yet -- which even includes a Top 2 from austin. It does clear another #24 placement, however, and a handful of other bottom 4s as well. "Bad Boy" is a quirky song with a deliberately flubbed intro and some harsh guitar work. Miranda delivers the song with a fun swagger and the flip on the song's hook is clever and enjoyable ("I've got it bad, boy"), but I'm guessing the rough musical nature of this one made it a love it or leave it type of song on the album for many. "Sure, you can buy me one more round Don’t think you can buy my heart Don’t think I haven’t figured you out from the start"

Aww I liked "Bad Boy"...
I like how you described the song as having "rough musical nature" because I think that's what made the song stand out for me in an album that is pretty smooth in nature.
