Sophie Ellis-Bextor | Artist Survivor (WINNER)

[SilentDream]

Sophie Ellis-Bextor | Artist Survivor



Welcome to the artist survivor of Sophie Ellis-Bextor. The former queen of British dance pop has so far released six studio albums (excluding her Orchestral Greatest Hits, which will not be part of this survivor) throughout her career. Dealing with her whole discography would be a bit too much - however, ignoring all of her album tracks wouldn't be fair either since there are a lot of hidden gems in a big discography like hers.

That's why we will do a nomination round before the survivor officially starts. To make it more diverse, I decided it would be a good idea to include two album tracks per album. Every participant can choose one album track per album and the two tracks with the most votes of each album will join the singles in this survivor. This means that we will have a total of 35 songs competing against each other.

If you only know/like the songs from a few albums, then that's fine too - so you don't have to choose an album track of every album, you can also vote for only one album track in total, if you really don't like any from other albums. I'm not sure how popular Sophie is on ukmix - if there aren't enough votes, then the survivor will simply start with the singles only.

Please do not nominate the following songs as they are singles and are therefore part of the survivor anyway:

Groovejet (If This Ain't Love)
Take Me Home (A Girl Like Me)
Murder on the Dancefloor
Get Over You
Move This Mountain
Music Gets the Best of Me
Mixed Up World
I Won't Change You
Catch You
Me and My Imagination
Today the Sun's on Us
Heartbreak (Make Me a Dancer)
Can't Fight This Feeling
Not Giving Up on Love
Bittersweet
Off & On
Starlight
Young Blood
Runaway Daydreamer
Love Is a Camera
The Deer & the Wolf
Come with Us
Crystallise
Wild Forever
Death of Love

NOMINATION ROUND: Nominate one album track per album (so a maximum of six songs - there is no minimum).

Second album is masterpiece, I love almost all tracks.

The Walls Keep Saying Your Name
Magic
Wrong Side of the Sun
Hush Little Voices

Ah, I wish I could nominate more Make a Scene songs instead of some other albums where I don't really like any album track

[SilentDream]

( [MENTION=38276]SilentDream[/MENTION] wasn't this a single though?)

You’re right, apparently I forgot to include it, thanks for mentioning. So you and [MENTION=834]Thriller[/MENTION] can choose another song from “Make a Scene”. I’ll edit the first post and include “Not Giving Up on Love”.

[SilentDream]

The nomination round will close tonight, so today’s the last chance to nominate your favourite album tracks.

[GaGarazzi]

I would nominate the all the songs off Make A Scene if I could - her best album by far!

My nominations are Magic and Here Comes The Rapture.

I would nominate the all the songs off Make A Scene if I could - her best album by far!

My nominations are Magic and Here Comes The Rapture.

Since there are a lot of ties, I’ll probably just let all the mentioned album tracks be part of the survivor. “Magic” was already mentioned, so if you want you can nominate another track from “Make a Scene” because “Magic” will qualify anyway. The first round will start in a few hours, so there’s still some time.

RESULTS | Nomination Round

As I’ve mentioned above, I decided to let every mentioned song qualify due to the high number of ties and lack of votes in general. This means that the following album tracks will join us in this survivor:

Trip the Light Fantastic: New Flame, If I Can’t Dance, If You Go
Make a Scene: Homewrecker, Magic, Make a Scene, Dial My Number
Wanderlust: Cry to the Beat of the Band, Wrong Side of the Sun
Familia: Don’t Shy Away, Hush Little Voices, Here Comes the Rapture
