Des'ree Singles Survivor - Round 1

[Haiku Rewrites]

Britain's soul songstress and maestra of lyrics gets her own Survivor! Huzzah, highlight of her career!

Here is your (fairly short but not tiny) list of singles here to vote on. 12 songs and solo singles only - sorry Fire fans.

In this round, you are voting for your FIVE LEAST FAVOURITE DESI songs you don't want to see in the next round (or just vote for five songs that don't ring a bell/never heard of )

Let's go!

How can you miss Delicate?

Shame, the list would look less tragic . Good luck with it. x

Thanks In my mind, the top 3 is a foregone conclusion so lemme see which of the leftovers get cut in what order.

 

[Shoat]

You Gotta Be should really have been separated out into the 57 very subtly different remixes and reissues.

good point, maybe I'll do that from Round 2 onwards!

 

[Shoat]

Wait a sec, people are already voting out 'It's Okay' ?!

"The shower's cold, you ain't got no clean shirt. A cup of tea just might do the trick! The milk's gone off, now you're feeling sick."

It's a shame people ignored such deeper and more thoughtful moments, whilst focusing only on toast-eating ghosts.

Two absolute psychopaths voting out What’s Your Sign

 

[funky]

Two absolute LUNATICS voting out Feel So High!

It was the blueprint for You Gotta Be and EASILY her second best song.

 

[Shoat]

Now Feel So High is getting votes?! Good GRIEF.

It's only one of the loveliest songs of all time.

It's OK is amazing - can't believe it went out first.

Was I'm Kissing You even a single?

 

[Haiku Rewrites]

Was I'm Kissing You even a single?

Yes, a UK #83 SMASH even!

 

[cwej]

Oh wow - I always assumed it wasn't released and they'd messed up by not releasing it because it would have been huge. It was known by literally everyone. I'm surprised it wasn't a big hit.

 

[lolly]

I love how she chucked You Gotta Be on the b-side of Kissing You, just in case anyone missed it

She chucked You Gotta Be on EVERYTHING it even appeared on certain versions of the Supernatural album!

 

[Shoat]

She also chucked it on as the B-side to What's Your Sign, only a couple of months before re-releasing it as a full blown single again

QUEEN OF RECYCLING

 

[lolly]

And then she put Kissing You on Life as well

 

[Shoat]

Perhaps that's why It's OK bombed

Clearly crying out for a Life '03 B-side

We needed What's Your Sign? (Aquarius & Pisces 03 Remix)
