Jamie O'Neal Singles Rankdown:
I have been on the queue to host rankdowns for Jamie O'Neal's music for quite awhile now, and now that I have some breathing room in my hosting schedule, and the rankdown queue is overall pretty slow, I am going to finally do something about it! Jamie O'Neal is an Australian-born country musician who had an unfortunately VERY brief span of radio success in the early '00s, including only two album eras that really had any radio success to speak of. That being said, she is someone whose vocal talent vastly outshines her legacy!! I've always put her right up next to Martina McBride and Carrie Underwood in terms of having one of the most powerful belting voices in the business She doesn't always put her voice on full display, but when she does, she seems to have no limits! And, (likely due to her relatively small career not leading to a lot of vocal strain, lmao), she is now in her mid-50s and still sounds just as flawless as she did in her 20s We will be having a series of rankdowns to honor Ms. O'Neal, starting with her singles rankdown, going into each of her four albums (maybe 5 if she releases her Christmas album this year like she's supposed to!), and then wrapping it all up with an album tracks rankdown to honor the best songs that never saw radio. And the best part is, all of these rankdowns will be SMALL!!!! Without further ado, say hello to all of Jamie's singles: Playlist: (56 minutes)
1. There Is No Arizona 2. When I Think About Angels 3. Shiver 4. I'm Not Gonna Do Anything Without You - ft. Mark Wills 5. Frantic 6. Every Little Thing* 7. Trying To Find Atlantis 8. Somebody's Hero 9. I Love My Life 10. God Don't Make Mistakes 11. Like A Woman 12. Soldier Comin' Home 13. Wide Awake 14. Like I Do - ft. Erica Nicole 15. Wreck Me *"Every Little Thing" was from an unreleased album, so is not available on streaming. Kanenrá:ke has uploaded it to YouTube, however Apple Music Playlist: music.apple.com/us/playlist/jamie-oneal/pl.u-2aoqZGyU8MPJjg Due: Friday August 5, 2022

Omg yes, excited for this! Also totally knew her singles discography was small, yet also somehow surprised at how small this list looks, lmao.

This sounds like a good list, thanks for the invite, even though I must admit I don't know that many of her songs.

I got tired of waiting for someone to make the playlist so I made it myself on Spotify .

Man, this was hard to rank. This woman has such a short yet STACKED set of singles. I know there's more flops than hits here, but I hope people are kind to some of the ones that didn't make it big on radio, like "Like a Woman." That song is a tour de force of VOCALS as bboat11 pointed out upthread and I still remember when it released and being devastated it didn't reignite her career because it was just so epic.

I'll go ahead and do the first reminder for this rankdown! We're off to a moderately hot start, with 5 lists so far. (Pretty good imo considering how slow the overall rankdown world seems to be right now). This is now due in about 2 weeks, so please consider getting started soon if you plan on joining! It will be here before you know it! I know I haven't given a ton of time with this one, but this playlist is shorter than some albums Participants so far:1. bboat112. tim3. nathanalbright4. .indulgecountry5. austin

I felt like 12 of these songs were GREAT (with my #1 being an all-time great) 2 were ok, and then there was “Soldier Comin’ Home”.

No new lists since our last reminder. I'm hoping to see a whole bunch of lists flooding in this weekend!!! Reminder that this is due on Sunday! It's such a short playlist, I can't imagine needing to extend it tooooo much further, although I can probably give a few more days if we have stragglers who request it.

Did any of the stragglers finish their lists? Only a couple, tbh There are still a few who I know would probably still participate if they had more time (like taylor and LBTrocks ), so I'm going to give it one more little extension Stay tuned!

Well, as it turns out, I’m moving into a new apartment in the beginning of September, so I’ll need something to listen to while I start the clean-up and packing process! I’ll get on this after work tomorrow

Or maybe even just like folding a load of laundry!

I am currently on vacation so I haven't had the time to listen however depending on when the extension is, I may still be able to participate. If not, I will be watching the results.
