It was split into four parts when it was re-released, but in its original Nike+ incarnation it was a solid piece of music...making it eligible.

hahaha i didn't clock 45:33 on the list - it feels like cheating but i guess it has to be eligible here!

Rocking 3/11 on "heard before", 0/11 on "voted". Sob. The Knife video is super-ace, incidentally.

Agreed, but whatever. I'm still tired from the fights about Girls in the 2009 poll. xp

I had failed to notice this going on, so this is an awesome surprise. Didn't know that Big Boi track but it is awesome, so that's me one up already.

too low imo

yeah, surprised that "paparazzi" didn't place higher - not that i gave it many points myself
― interstellar overdraft (contenderizer), Wednesday, 30 June 2010 18:08 (thirteen years ago) link
plus the results are coming a little too fast and furious. i kinda like the suspense & debate involved when they appear every half hour or so. suppose that takes more work, though...
― interstellar overdraft (contenderizer), Wednesday, 30 June 2010 18:10 (thirteen years ago) link
Wow, I hadn't seen the Paparazzi video before. Pretty amazing stuff! I can believe it's the same guy who directed "Telephone". Major drop in quality.

I've been doing them roughly 10 mins apart, but I could stretch it out.

if stretching it out is too much work for you don't worry, i can understand it might get a bit wearing!
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Wednesday, 30 June 2010 18:11 (thirteen years ago) link
Never seen the "Be Mine" video. This poll unfortunately/fortunately coincided with me being separated from music and a proper, working computer.

xpost I don't mind the results coming fast. I need to get some work done.
― the subject of many men’s thoughts (daavid), Wednesday, 30 June 2010 18:12 (thirteen years ago) link
so glad robyn is so low, at one stage in ilm's history that'd have been a threat to win. intolerable woman.
the best "paparazzi" visual is her performance at the AMAs imo - you know the one with blood and pianos and ending with her getting hanged - i still find myself eyerolling a bit at the actual video. though you're right, not the gigantic mess that the "telephone" video was.
still none of my actual votes but i LOVE most of these songs so, happy.

I finally sent my tracks ballot last night, just barely making it before deadline, which allowed "Marble House" to make the cut!

Good, now I know I don't need to listen to anything by The Hold Steady.

Paparazzi is in a tough position when there are two songs by the same artist on the nominations list that are 100x better.

down with bad romance being even with it, cant imagine what the second song yer thinking of is tho

I'm sure I'm an exception here, but IMO we've already got all The Knife/Fever Ray this poll needs.

I think both Just Dance and Poker Face are way better than Paparazzi, but what do I know.

summoning HI DERE to thread to look at the placement of #84 and become angry at himself for not voting

― Dan S, Wednesday, 30 June 2010 18:47 (thirteen years ago) link
"telephone" was on the poll, right? i probably prefer that as a song to even "bad romance"
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Wednesday, 30 June 2010 18:47 (thirteen years ago) link
I expected "Seven" to be higher, it is the best song on the Fever Ray album. The wordless chants and the synth chorus are breathtaking!
