Okay, rules are - all songs sung on Smash are eligible ........ including Grenade :mellow:

I'm basing it on the song itself, rather than the whole song and performance, cos that just gets complicated :lol: Like I love the Let's Be Bad performance, but am not really a massive fan of the song :lol: ... it's basically what I would listen to on my ipod.

Oh and sorry if I miss some songs out, which I no doubt will do :no:

1. Brighter Than The Sun :wub: - I just think this song is perfect and perfect for Kat, and I love the recording, and kind of want her to have songs like this on her album. I wish it was her song :.(

2. Shake It Out - same as above :lol:

3. Run - I just love how gorgeous Kat's vocals sound on this, even though it's a little overproduced. Def prefer it to Leona's version and I LOVE Leona's version. Gutted this wasn't released on itunes - given the twitter response and all Kat's extra followers this last ep I think it woulda sold really well ... for Smash :'(

Basically I love my top 3 equally tho - tomorrow my fave will be SIO :lol:

4. Let Me Be Your Star - I still seriously love this and am not bored of it yet! :lol: It's so epic, and it just reminds me of the awesome pilot and what might have been :'( :wub: :lol: I also loooooooooooooove the slowed down reprise as well, and am praying maybe Kat will get to sing it in the finale and they can release it on itunes, but who am I kidding :|

5. Never Give All The Heart :love: - seriously gorgeous vocals, and even tho the song itself it a little zzzz I just love that it's all about Kat's voice. So underrated as well. I blame the dtm montage and Rebecca's arrival :| :lol:

6. Stand - I've listened to this a few times over the past few days, and it grows on me more and more every time, and I def agree with Benny that this is like old Kat :wub: I like that she doesn't play it safe <3 Also can't wait to get a better quality recording of it when the album comes out because Kat's vocals are gonna sound amazeballs on it <3

7. Touch Me - maybe it should be higher, but I flipping love this song :bobo: :bobo: :bobo:

8. Call Me - woefully underrated imo. I love the bridge :wub:

9. Beautiful - might have been higher if I wasn't so sick of the song thanks to NBC's promos :mellow: :lol: Definitely underrated though. Or maybe not even underrated, but just overplayed :lol:

10. IAMMMW - i might have put it higher if the itunes version was the same as in the episode - the instrumentals are a little louid but I still love Kat's vocals on this :wub:

11. 1001 nights - cheesetastic :cheese: but it's so catchy :lol: :bobo:

12. 20thC Fox Mambo - I enjoy the song, but it works better with the visual of the performance as well. Still really catchy though, and another underrated song I think :no:

13. Baby Grand Piano - Hilty's best song by far. She really does have lovely vocals when she isn't trying to be Marilyn or sing all over the top. Gutted she stole this from Kat cos in the snippet Kat sang of it she sounded seriously gorgeous :'( Would have been Kat/Karen's ~moment~ - jeal, ngl :lol:

14. Cheers - I loved the performance of it on the show with Karen and Ivy :love:, but the itunes version without all the ad libbing is so flat to me :mellow: and I don't really get why they took them out :ermm:

15. History Is Made At Night - this song has really grown on me ngl :lol:

16. Redneck Woman - maybe I'd nomally have it higher, but it just reminds me of ep 3, and how is started the critical hate of Smash, and I can't get away from that :no: :lol: Kat does a good country voice tho :lol:

17. Mr and Mrs Smith - cute song, a little zzzzzzz

18. National Pasttime - I keep forgetting this song exists. Again, wayyyy too much overplay :lol:

19. Breakaway - I vocals are pretty nice, but the Hilt is no Kelly C :no: :lol:

Reaching the scraps now :lol: ...........

20. Let's Be Bad - LOVE the performance, but the song on it's own is just ok to me dawg :lol:

21. Rose's Turn - is it even called that? :lol: Anyway, it's all a little too Broadway and jazz hands for me :lol:

22. Never Met a Wolf Who Doesn't Love to Howl - this song just bugs the crap out of me for some reason. I think it's cos of the OTT way Megan sings it and her Marilyn voice :mellow: :lol:

23. That terrible DiMaggio song - can't even remember it's name but I hated this song! :lol:

24. Bowling alley song - just awful :lol: Can't believe they could sell this sh!t on itunes and not "Run". Remind me never to take financial advice from the makers of Smash :lol:

25. Who I am - it would have been higher, but the full audio I just think is pretty horrible! :fear: :lol: And they kept in the "Woah" :lmao: :mellow:

26. Grenade - there are no words :|

THE END

What have I missed? :haha:

ETA: Crap I missed "Our Day Will Come" - love that also, probs around the same level as IAMMMW :lol:

ETA2: I purposefully didn't include "Rumour Has It" cos there isn't a full recording of it :'( :mellow:

ghetto caps complete me <3

Impossible to do (for me) as there's too many songs to easily rank. Can I just list my top favorites and my least-liked?

Jo, you forgot: Dig Deep, Don't Say Yes Until I'm Finished Talking, Haven't Met You Yet, and Song For You.

I think that's it.

I too enjoyed Don't Say Yes; it was a funny and enjoyable performance. Christian did well with it. Dig Deep is definitely my least favorite of the originals. Perhaps it was because Uma did it as someone who couldn't sing well and Megan and Kat were hardly in the number, so it wasn't that interesting or enjoyable.

I don't think I actually hated it, but it definitely wasn't a favorite.

Of the non kat songs, I liked in order "History is Made at Night", "Crazy Dreams", the Tom number, Megan's version of Never Give All the Heart, and just because of the performance element, Let's Be Bad and National Pastime. Rest I am pretty neutral on.

I can't decide my rankings for kat for the top spots, there are four (Our Day Will Come, Never Give All the Heart, Run and Shake It Out) I legimately have considered to maybe be my favorite. "Stand" has really been moving up my list lately - I even really enjoy Sam's part. In some other thread I made a list of love / like / ok and I think I forgot "Cheers" which I like (a lot).

“Ever since I was a little kid, you told me I’d be getting a little brother or sister… You said my sister is in China, she’s waiting for us in China, and I believed you. She’s waiting for us to come and get her. What is gonna happen to her if we don’t go get her?"

So do I! The lyrics are really fun and witty.

My least fave original is def Second Hand White Baby Grand. I know I'm an anomaly in that, but it just bores me to tears the three times I've tried to watch/listen to it.

Aside from "History Is Made In A Night", "Breakaway", and the song Ivy sang tonight, I really haven't enjoyed an original / non-Kat number.

With that being said...

1. Shake It Out
2, Cheers (Drink to That)
3. Run
4. 1001 Nights
5. Brighter Than The Sun / Call Me
6. Touch Me
7. Stand / IAMMMW / Redneck Woman
8. Never Give All The Heart
9. Let Me Be Your Star
10. Beautiful
11. 20th Century Fox Mambo

My "original" favorites :

1) Let Me Be Your Star : felt in love with it immediately, goosebumps every time ( love how it's sometimes quoted in the underscore, puts a smile on my face each time :) )
2) Never Give All The Heart : just... so pure and gorgeous..Posted Image
3) Second Hand White Baby Grand : heartbreaking performance by Hilty
4) Mr & Mrs Smith : so sweet !
5) History Is Made At Night : love the harmonies on that one, and such a great vibe ;)
6) A Thousand And One Nights : love the vibe and melody ( + kat was just stellar in that one ) Posted Image


And nope, not gonna put Touch Me in there...the scene was amazing but the song's just OK for me


My "cover" favorites :

In no particular order : Beautiful, Run, Brighter Than The Sun, Redneck Woman, Another Op'nin', Another Show, I'm Going Down and one I absolutely LOVED : Our Day Will Come
