"The Fool" is such a beautiful song. Lee Ann's voice just resonates in all the right ways here! I was so glad to see it win a rankdown finally, and I am even happier seeing it finish in the top 5 here! This song was not really a top 5 contender, but was pretty consistently in the top 10. Ultimately it managed to hang on to the top 5 by tying with "Greyhound Bus", and the fact that it had 2 #1 ranks from castleoblivion26 and kw9461 helped it to win.

Up next at #4, a song that was a top 3 contender for the majority of the submission process!!! Before it got some random nonsense done to it near the end... Fortunately it was able to rebound back to the top 4....

"Better Things To Do" is Terri Clark's confident, brazen debut in the country music world, and it launched her directly into superstardom. This song has become iconic for its sassy, spunky attitude, and really a perfect representation of who Terri is as an artist. I know it's always a tad disappointing when an artist's debut song wins their singles rankdown, but in this case I think it was plenty fitting! This song was not dripping with top 5 ranks or anything. In fact, only 2 people even put it in their top 10 (myself and LBTrocks)! However, literally EVERYBODY except for one person put it in their top half, and that one person still didn't even put it in their bottom 20... Which helped this to be the least polarizing song of the entire list! It stayed high due to the overall positive ranks, even if they weren't top 10s, this is proof that a song can indeed do well in these rankdowns with a bunch of top 20 ranks as long as it doesn't get tanked!

Unfortunately, the road stops here for Martina! As an artist who typically faces a bit of resistance in full-genre rankdowns, I consider this to be quite a victory!! She was right on the cusp of either making of missing the top 5 for most of the submission process, so I was very thankful to LBTrocks for bumping her up to #3 at the very last second :) Other than a brief top 2 showing after castleoblivion26's list, this was the highest position it occupied throughout the submission process! This is a beautiful, powerful song that means a lot to so many people. That absolutely heartbreaking music video has done more to call attention to child abuse than any of us will ever know Gotta love Martina for calling attention to the world's problems and offering some soul-soothing healing in response!

Gurl I feel you. However, believe it or not, #3 is the best that Martina has ever done in one of these things!! That's where "Independence Day" finished back in the first set, and other than that she has always been tanked to hell... So the fact that this was able to match "Independence Day" is quite cool! Lol

Lol I just hate that I was so close!!! Lol That and this song might just be the one that holds the title of favorite of all time. I'm talking all-genre, any artist. This song never ever EVER fails to make me completely bust out in tears. I remember crossing past this song when I was about 7 years old, and seeing the music video. For me it's one of those never-forget moments. Welp...my 9 and 20 are left so Sara Evans YET again it is!!! Lol

Wow at the lowest 3 ranks for "Maybe It Was Memphis" coming in the last four submissions (one of them was me :kii: )! "Born to Fly" absolutely slays and is a deserving winner. Thanks for hosting bboat11! Now onto Revenge of the Best!!
