Ouch if this is the best MDD apparently has to offer. It was my first time hearing anything from them and it was dull and forgettable to me.

How am I one of the highest rankings on this. I will say though, I couldn't make my mind up whether I liked it or not when I was listening to it.

The nice thing about MDD is that when I don't know what to put in last, I can always depend on them for an easy choice. :kii: :sip2:

For #28, we say goodbye to another Top 5 ranking.
Sadly, this is one that I really liked and thought should have made it much further (I'm not the Top 5 ranking).

James' thoughts: this one might be the song I was most disappointed to see the rankings for. I think this ended up way too low. This is a great song, and probably one of my favorites from Lee (second favorite from Live It Up behind "Me and My Jealousy"; which y'all should look up because it's amazing). This was actually looking like it would be in last place, but Daryl's #4 vote really helped it stay afloat.

Eh. I didn't dislike the song, but it didn't leave much of an impression on me, either.

James' thoughts: y'all did this one dirty too! This song is so cute. I didn't think this would light things up on the rankdown, but I was hoping for a bit better. Mat has a lot better songs, but something about the charming lyrics of this one makes me real happy when I listen to it.

That's all for today folks! We'll regroup tomorrow for #25-#21.
With #21, we see two Top 10 rankings go out the window!
For today's reveals, any surprises? Any songs you expected to show up, but didn't? Or any songs you weren't expecting at all to be in the position they were?

I thought Javier Colon would do better, like top 20 at least? IDK if I'm surprised or not 'White Screamo' is still in but I hope it's not too long for this rankdown.

I'm genuinely surprised by Mat Kearney - I didn't expect it to be top 10 but I thought it would be more middle of the pack. That said this was barely a top half song for me, and the only top-half ranked song I've lost so far, so I'm not too hurt by the loss and we can more than make up for it by watching the rest of my bottom 5 get axed tomorrow! Simon Cowell went through this phase in seasons 3-4 of Idol where his go to insult was musical wallpaper - "as when you're in a house you notice the wallpaper, but you don't remember it." I never fully got that insult until the first time (and every time) I heard Lee DeWyze sing. Part of me feels bad for the guy; he gets such a bum rep within the string of Idol winners but he seems like a nice guy who's just trying to make it doing what he loves. But the other part of me always inexplicably wants to punch him in the face for being so fucking mediocre. I can't explain it. It's just a kneejerk reaction. It's as if I have forgotten what the wallpaper looks like, but can't forget that when I was looking at it I was really, really displeased with it. Same with Javier to a slightly lesser extent.

With our #25, we see two people lose Top 10s, and they have both already lost Top 10s in the rankdown already. ;)

"Straight Through My Heart" by: Backstreet BoysPoints: 295Average rank: 19.67Standard deviation: 6.53Ranks:

James' thoughts: believe it or not, Backstreet Boys are one of my favorite bands of all-time; they would easily be Top 10, potentially Top 5. I didn't pay any attention to their Unbreakable album when it came out, but their This Is Us era was one I really followed and it made me fall back in love with them. "Straight Through My Heart" was the lead single, and a song I enjoyed at the time. Their record label mishandled that era so bad, as there were plenty of errors littered throughout the album process (rip "Fallen Angel" - what should have been a huge hit that didn't even make the f**king album). This one hasn't really aged well for me, as it's still decent, but not the best on this list. This is about where it belongs. This was sticking around the #21-#26 range pretty much the whole time.

James' thoughts: not many thoughts for this one lol. I downloaded Dierks' album because I was doing the lyrics for Genius, and this was one of the songs on it. Trombone Shorty gives this song a lot of flavor, but overall, this doesn't sit well for me with the rest of the list.

Only ONE point separates "Mardi Gras" from the #23 spot. We also see our first #1 loss in the next reveal!
