I plan to send before the deadline! the R Kelly song sucks here but if songs like I Believe I Can Fly are on the future Rankdowns, sorry I cannot tank that, I have always loved that song way before we learned the whole crap and controversy from him and I can't hate that song no matter what.

Sent. My bottom 2 were a very easy choice, as I really don't care for them, but I like all the other 8. The rankings were pretty easy for me. This was honestly a pretty solid set. I'd be happy with any of my top 5 winning. I can definitely see my top 5 possibly being the overall top 5.
