With the second elimination, we switch albums. "End Of The World" was always pretty low in the list, and even looked like it would be last place for awhile before the hate started pouring in for "Sirens". I guess I could understand people finding this one boring, but to me this has grown on me significantly every time I have heard it! Now that several months have passed I think my #19 rank might be a little too low. {Songs Remaining} Dibs Get Over Yourself Graveyard High School I Hate Love Songs In Between Legends Looking At Stars Love Me Like You Mean It Machine Heart Miss Me More Music Peter Pan Roses Secondhand Smoke Square Pegs Stilettos The First Time Unapologetically Underage XO Yeah Boy

Wow @ "Sirens" being last. I really don't understand the hate for that one at all. I think it's a fantastic song and the siren BGVs are chilling from someone who has lived his entire life in Tornado Alley, the sound emulating a tornado siren is really eerie and I love it so much.

Finally something from my bottom 5! I don't really dislike this song at all, but it's just kinda "there" compared to most of her material. Also ever since someone pointed out the irony of having an R. Kelly lyric in a song titled "Underage," I can't not think about that when I hear it.

I kept it quiet, But now you'll hear it scream. 'Cause good or bad or right or wrong, It's finally found its beat.
21. "Machine Heart"

Just missing out on the top 20, we continue our pattern of alternating albums with each loss. This song was on pace to finish very low for the whole submission process, and even was a contender for last place. Three people put this in last place, but it did manage to have 3 top 5 placements from kf1992, cerulean, and @steveic. Overall this song is not bad, but I think the phrasing of "Machine Heart" is really weird. It's not a phrase you would expect to hear in a song unless you knew the title already, so just listening at first it sounds like "I don't have a mushy heart" or something weird and disgusting like that. Lmao

"Machine Heart" is the only song of her's I really just don't care for. It was a clear last place for me. It's so sleepy and the metallic vocal effects on her vocals is jarring and awkward. There's just nothing about it that really interests me and I almost always skip it now. I'm sad it ranked higher than something like "Sirens" which genuinely stands out as something unique imo.

Ok but this one definitely did not deserve last place. Okay I will give you that. Where the hell are "Secondhand Smoke" and "Looking for Stars" (I think those are my bottom 2, honestly idk because I don't hate any of them but I feel like those are my two least fave)

This whole process is quite interesting.
I'm kind of shocked about "Machine Heart". That is truly one of my favorite songs.

Boooo. I knew Underage wouldn’t be as high as I put it but super bummed it is this low. To me it is super relatable.

No big surprises in the first few reveals but I really wish "Sirens" had made it higher I love that one and am realizing I underranked it.

Sirens is really, really bad I can't even listen to the entire thing but it is better than my #24 which is CRIMINALLY overrated by most on here. I cannot wait to sink it and go into a long in depth post about my distaste for it.
I am a little surprised "Underage" tumbled out so quick, but the rest make a lot of sense. "Machine Heart" is really weird, and "End of the World" should have been on Blown Away or another boring pop "country" album. It didn't really resonate as a KELSEA song like most of her material does.

I don't really have a strong opinion of this song either way. It definitely is not a bad song, but does not stand out as one of her best either. I'm not sure it deserved my #22 ranking, but then again I have a habit of liking songs much better when I listen to them while typing up the reveal for a rankdown...

And when I think the fighting has to end in a goodbye, I wanna prove me wrong, but I'm scared I'll prove me right.
19. "Secondhand Smoke"
Total: 402 Average: 15.46 Std Dev: 7.48 (2nd largest!!!)
This song was very low on the list for the majority of the submission process, and tbh I have no idea why... To me this is a standout song on first listen! The lyrics are especially strong here, but melodically and production-wise this is also one of Kelsea's most firmly grounded songs in the country genre. And as great as Kelsea is, this is the sort of song that I would have loved to see what a more seasoned vocalist like Reba or Sara Evans could have done with. With those lyrics I feel like somebody like Reba could have turned this into a masterpiece!
