"Cover Me" is such an over-hated song :( It's certainly nowhere near her best work, but I have trouble understanding why it gets such consistent and predictable hate. Being last place on an album as strong as I'm Alright is somewhat understandable, but to be last place out of this much larger list is just not right. I feel like this is one that would be perceived as a more middle-of-the-road song by the majority of people. Anyway, this song's strong point seems to be its production. I love the echoey sound of this song, and the way the music builds in the intro until Jo Dee's characteristic vocal riff starts.
"I Didn't Have To Leave You" is a song that paints a really strong lyrical picture. I always enjoy it for that aspect, and of course Jo Dee's vocal is beautiful as ever. However this song is melodically a tad boring compared to the majority of songs on this list. For that reason I am not sad to see it leaving already. As much as I love it, this is a song I was hoping to see leave sooner rather than later in a rankdown like this.
"Walk To The Light" - Talk about a middle-of-the-road song. This has pleasant production, a pleasant melody, and a few witty lyrical moments. But in the grand scheme of things it doesn't stand out at ALL, so I kinda figured it would get lost in the shuffle here.
"Not Dead Yet" - This song has the same obnoxious melody and cheap production that makes songs like "Treat Me Like A Woman Today" and "Biker Chick" so annoying. Jo Dee's vocal performance is not particularly pleasant either, especially on the higher notes towards the end of this song. Out of all her late-career songs, this is one that I am thrilled to see leaving already. I definitely don't hate it or anything, and never skip it when it comes on! This is just such a strong playlist that this one feels majorly out of place.
"Another Shoulder At The Wheel" has the most beautiful verse melody, and hooks me instantly from the very first note! However, I have always felt that the chorus falls rather short in comparison. The verses have such an intricate melody, and then the chorus just plods. There is nothing to help give the song any sort of flow once that chorus gets going. Very fitting bottom 5 placement compared to other songs in this playlist.

Also, wow at me being the first one to lose my last-place song...FOUR reveals into the rankdown! That has to be some kind of a record! Usually at least somebody loses their last-place song within one or two reveals. And if it weren't for my #35, it looks like we would have made it out of the bottom 5 without losing a single last-place rank!

I meant to comment on that last night, was too tired while posting the last few reveals but yeah the last place ranks are all over the place and for that reason all but yours escaped the bottom 5! I'd be intrigued to see if something like that has happened before also, so if anyone wants to look into that lol I'll be back throughout the day to post more. Gonna try and get us to the top 20 by tonight!

There is a very real possibility that the winner of this rankdown could sweep in and take up the final spot in the next Best of the Best rankdown, depending on how quickly you go! Lmao there is ONE position left, and I've been sitting here watching Garth and Terri battle it out like a couple of no-legged torsos on the ground with no other rankdowns due for like a week... Now that this one and Mark have both started, they are very real competitors! Lol

alright kicking off our Top 30 is "Closer" from Jo Dee's Burn album. This one, yet again, had no last place rankings meaning bboat11 remains the only person to have lost his last place rank so far! I plan on getting to the Top 20 tonight for results, if people get online and comment I could post more!

Wow even with two bottom rankings "Get Off That Train" was able to get this high! That's kinda impressive given how there's not a lot of room to hide when there's this many participants.
I think my favorite thing about "When I Call Your Name" is that I never knew I needed Jo Dee covering the song until I heard it then it was all love!

30. Oh wow, "Closer" did so much worse than I expected! I figured it would make it closer to the top 20, at least. I know it has people who hate it, but I figured it would at least be able to last longer than one or two other songs from Burn! The melody to this song is a bit redundant, but I honestly have come to love the sustained start to the chorus, and the way it juxtaposes with the rapid-fire delivery of the verses. 29. "When I Call Your Name" - The shocks continue! I agree with Kanenrá:ke that one of the things that makes this song so great is the fact that I didn't even realize how good it would be until I actually heard it. This version SLAYS!! From a quality standpoint, it definitely doesn't belong so low. Then again, being a cover song undoubtedly factored against it, on top of the fact that it is basically impossible to find, so most people didn't even know it existed until it showed up in the Extras rankdown... 28. "Get Off That Train" - I really hope the high quality version of this finds its way into our hands some day... I love the way this song builds, and the way Jo Dee's vocal lightly floats over the whole melody! I agree that "Destroy The Evidence" is probably a better song, but this one is almost equal in my eyes. I would LOVE to hear what else she was working on around this same time! If there is a whole album of songs like this one that never got released, Curb needs to share the goods!! 27. "Angelene" - Finally. This song tells a story, and the verses are pretty strong. But the chorus PLODS.... I am very disappointed that this one barely managed to edge out "Nothing I Can Do" to end up in this rankdown... That one wouldn't have done much better here, but at least it has some energy to it! "Boring" is the last word I would ever use to describe Jo Dee's vocals, but "Angelene" has got to be the closest she has ever come to giving a boring vocal performance. 26. "Strong Shot Of You" - This song is catchy, but this is a great time for it to leave. It sounds more like radio fluff than her usual output, and that paired with the fact that her newer releases have been plagued by boring production has always kept me from loving it. 25. "Unmistakable" - This song has a somewhat jarring melody for a power ballad, so I am not surprised that some people would dislike it. However, once you get used to it, it is a phenomenal song! Jo Dee's vocals are once again perfect. This is a good time for it to leave though. It doesn't really have the same hit potential that many of her other album tracks do, which imo factors against it in a rankdown like this. 24. "Breaking It Down" - OUCH! TOO EARLY!! "Breaking It Down" is one that I have always enjoyed, but I have continued to love it more every time I have heard it. I find the production of this song to be above the standard of most of her other recent output. This song would have been one of my choices for a single release from the Me album. 23. "Saturday Night" - Probably a good time for this one to leave. It is nice to hear Jo Dee do a fun, high-quality party song like this, but tbh it has been wearing on me since the Burn rankdown happened. It was my favorite album track from that album back then, but now I am finding it is starting to blend in and get lost in her catalog. 22. "Wishing Well" - Had no idea what to expect from this song here, but I am totally fine seeing it leave now. While all the new songs on her Greatest Hits album slay, this is by far the weakest, imo. 21. "If Not You" - YASSS!!!! I am so glad to see this one leaving already!!!! I do love this song quite a bit... But it is NOT the strongest album track from the Burn album, and I was very disappointed to see it be so in the album rankdown... As much as I love it, it does not deserve a place among her top 20 album tracks, imo. This feels like a perfect placement for it!

A few more thoughts on the albums. After the early massacre in the bottom 5, I am thrilled to see her debut make it through the previous 10 reveals unscathed! "Let It Go" and "On A Wing And A Prayer" both shit all over the other 3, imo. I completely expected those two to be the only ones representing this album in the top 20, and I am eager to see which one does better! OAWAAP did better in the album rankdown, but "Let It Go" is my personal favorite Either way, both songs absolutely deserve to make it a bit further! I still think this album will be able to outlast at least one of the others, despite already being so decimated. The I'm Alright album, as her commercial peak, is unsurprisingly well represented here. But I'm about ready for it to take more losses sooner rather than later. The singles were definitely the best songs from that album, imo, and most of the album tracks do not deserve to be considered among the best of her career. "No Time For Tears" and "I Know A Heartache", for example, are very average songs. They are easy to listen to, but tend to blend together imo, and seem especially mediocre on an album that also delivered such uptempo jams as "Bye Bye" and "I'm Alright". "Silver Thunderbird" is sure to be polarizing, so I don't expect it to last much longer. "Even God Must Get The Blues" is imo the only song that deserves to represent this album in the top 10, and SHOULD be a top 5 contender. The Burn slaughter has been exactly as I predicted! That album was by far the hardest for me to get into when I was doing the album rankdowns. I have since come to love just about every song, but there is no doubt that the hits were the best songs from the album, and nothing else from it really stands out among her best of all time. However, I have decided that if anything on the album was a missed opportunity, it was "These Are The Days", so to see that be the final track remaining is super great!!! After how odd the results of the album rankdown were, I feel WAY better about the order of the tracks in this rankdown! (Other than "Closer" being out a tad too early). Seeing the complete and utter domination of this Delicious Surprise album is delicious, but it sure ain't a surprise!! That album slays so hard I'm not convinced it will make it to the top 15 unscathed, but to have all 5 songs in the top 20 feels very fitting! When I am listening to her albums, Delicious Surprise is always the one that seems to have the most unexplored hit potential Seeing the Unmistakable albums relatively unscathed is a bit of a nice surprise. I am 100% expecting "Think About Us" and "Just Drive" to make it to the top 10, maybe even the top 5, and it would also be nice to see "Welcome To The Rest Of My Life" in at least the top 15. "How Do You Get High" surviving this long is a bit of a surprise though! On average these EPs are her most inconsistent offering, plagued with almost as many weak tracks as there are awesome tracks, but imo the awesome ones are among the best of her entire career! I am interested to see how the rest of them do, for sure. The Me album is one of her weaker offerings, but I am 100% expecting it to survive being the first album eliminated thanks to "Love On A Maybe"! That song will quite possibly be a top 10 contender. Burn's "These Are The Days" might be able to hang on long enough to outlast "Say Goodbye To Superman", but it will never be able to outlast "Love On A Maybe". So far the album distribution heading into the top 20 is almost exactly as I expected it would be!

Predictions for the next 5 to leave:
20. How Do You Get High 19. Silver Thunderbird 18. I Know A Heartache 17. Where Were You (I would love to see this in the top 15 over "Someone Else's Life", but after how it was treated in the album rankdown I'm not sure what to expect here...) 16. Say Goodbye To Superman

Awe RIP Burn! Glad we still have a bunch from the first 2 albums, along with most of the Unistakables though!
