ahh i still have trouble picking but i think i will vote for "jealous"

dyl, Sunday, 15 June 2014 13:18 (eleven years ago)

hm, you know, "jealous"

emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Sunday, 15 June 2014 13:27 (eleven years ago)

Might go for 'Pretty Hurts' actually

Or 'Flawless' but that seems like letting this album off easy

, Sunday, 15 June 2014 13:28 (eleven years ago)

between "flawless" and "no angel"

Rocket for me. My second favourite song of hers after Schoolin' Life.

Kitchen Person, Sunday, 15 June 2014 14:27 (eleven years ago)

some of my least favorite songs from the album have my favorite videos ("pretty hurts," "superpower")

with "xo," "blow," "flawless," and "rocket" i love both the songs and the videos a lot

dyl, Sunday, 15 June 2014 16:23 (eleven years ago)

Can't wait to see "Mine" win this poll!

Herbie Handcock (Murgatroid), Sunday, 15 June 2014 16:28 (eleven years ago)

"Mine" has a great intro, wish the rest of the song could hang with it

"Superpower" just doesn't work for me at all, the whole thing just falls annoyingly flat

If I'm being honest with myself I should vote "Blow", "Haunted" or "Partition" but I'm very tempted to vote for "Heaven" just so it isn't goose-egged

Star Gentle Uterus (DJP), Sunday, 15 June 2014 18:16 (eleven years ago)

"Haunted" easy but then that SNL sketch pretty much sums up my thoughts on her music

nova, Sunday, 15 June 2014 18:50 (eleven years ago)

Samurai Bakery?

, Sunday, 15 June 2014 19:00 (eleven years ago)

k3vin k., Sunday, 15 June 2014 19:12 (eleven years ago)

piscesx, Sunday, 15 June 2014 22:04 (eleven years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

System, Tuesday, 24 June 2014 00:01 (eleven years ago)

too early

partition, rocket & no angel

le goon (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 24 June 2014 00:26 (eleven years ago)

Revisiting this tonight, voted for "Rocket" but maybe wish I could switch to "No Angel"

bunny slopes, Tuesday, 24 June 2014 07:42 (eleven years ago)

Yesterday on a plane ride home I fell asleep without realizing "Heaven" was on repeat.

guess that bundt gettin eaten (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 24 June 2014 12:20 (eleven years ago)

NAPTIME COULDN'T WAIT FOR YOUUUUUUUUU

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

System, Wednesday, 25 June 2014 00:01 (eleven years ago)

"XO" deserves more than two votes. Come on.

Herbie Handcock (Murgatroid), Wednesday, 25 June 2014 00:08 (eleven years ago)

yay Rocket!

clockpuncher (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 25 June 2014 00:16 (eleven years ago)

there's one station in D.C. that has been playing "Rocket" once an hour since April, starting to get annoyed that no other stations have picked up on it

some dude, Wednesday, 25 June 2014 00:17 (eleven years ago)

i went thru a phase of playing "Rocket" for an hour once a week

clockpuncher (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 25 June 2014 00:18 (eleven years ago)

pretty surprised by the groundswell for "Jealous." it's a good song but i always got the impression it was in the middle of the pack for most and practically nobody's absolute favorite.

some dude, Wednesday, 25 June 2014 00:19 (eleven years ago)

its sound is less interesting than a lot of the other songs on the album, but it's so psychologically acute! i love it. i also love no angel, which i would have wanted a higher placement for. and heaven should have gotten at least a vote.

horseshoe, Wednesday, 25 June 2014 00:21 (eleven years ago)

I regret not voting for "Heaven" in the worst way

kind of livid that "Mine" got votes over it tbh

Star Gentle Uterus (DJP), Wednesday, 25 June 2014 00:25 (eleven years ago)

"now we reminiscing how we used to flex in texas" is one of my favorite lyrics on this entire album tbh

horseshoe, Wednesday, 25 June 2014 00:33 (eleven years ago)

aw I didn't notice this thread until just now! seems like a top 5 I can agree with, anyway.

every second of "mine" that's just beyonce is gorgeous imo. i think drake's only there to be one of those deliberate flaws you add in order to honor god's perfection.

it's about equality, ladies (reddening), Wednesday, 25 June 2014 00:34 (eleven years ago)

hahaha I can almost buy that

I admit that the intro to "Mine" is stellar

Star Gentle Uterus (DJP), Wednesday, 25 June 2014 00:34 (eleven years ago)

Would have voted for "No Angel",

Tim F, Wednesday, 25 June 2014 02:17 (eleven years ago)

i for one am thankful that the Drake feature on this album is so shapeless and unappealing that it will never be a single

some dude, Wednesday, 25 June 2014 03:25 (eleven years ago)

I've kind of come around to his weird rap at the end or at very least the line "Been about you and I'm still about you"

The Reverend, Wednesday, 25 June 2014 04:16 (eleven years ago)

i think i forgot to vote (well, still can't decide)

its sound is less interesting than a lot of the other songs on the album, but it's so psychologically acute!

otm! "jealous" is sort of the heart of the album, the crux of everything beyoncé is trying to say, the one where she embraces contradiction without justification.

"heaven" is absolutely beautiful and extremely real - the anguish in her "NO!!!!" towards the end is so amazing.

what the fuck kind of savage would vote for "mine" in this poll -_-

lex pretend, Wednesday, 25 June 2014 09:50 (eleven years ago)

three weeks pass...

shame no one voted for "Pretty Hurts".

Lina, Sunday, 20 July 2014 12:35 (eleven years ago)

I think this is one of those definite instances where it would have wound up much higher if we were ranking them all instead of just picking our #1 fav

DERE is no DERE DERE (Stevie D(eux)), Sunday, 20 July 2014 13:26 (eleven years ago)

The right song won.

Greer, Sunday, 20 July 2014 19:02 (eleven years ago)

one year passes...

i made a text message ringtone if anyone wants it

just keep your promise and i'll keep mine

Y Kant Max Read (Stevie D(eux)), Sunday, 23 August 2015 16:51 (ten years ago)

I would have voted for "blue" if I wasn't a convicted felon. That songs makes me bawl.

not a garbageman, i am garbage, man (m bison), Sunday, 23 August 2015 17:10 (ten years ago)

oops i bumped the wrong thread
