thread of miguel

let's hope

i think i gave frank my no 1... i can't remember

yeah can't believe adorn placed lower in ilm than in p&j.

i suspect miguel will win the albums

haha no way unfortunately

who are the main contenders? ocean, yeah, but that's mostly the same voting bloc and miguel seems way more popular on ilm.

there will be vote splitting between the album and the collected EPs

nah frank ocean will beat miguel in albums, it's a lock

i kinda don't think Art Dealer Chic will siphon more than a couple votes away from KD? i dunno, seems like a small stubborn minority opinion.

i had miguel top 5 in albums and no frank fwiw - i think its a possibility

so did i but it seems like such an astronomical long shot, would be willing to be on this.

[spoilers] I voted for ADC and not kaleidoscope because 1. 2:19 adorn 2. ...ALL 3. you can kill me if 'kaleidoscope' misses the #1 by 49 points or less

"...all" is on kaleidoscope dream. deluxe edition bonus track or something. so is "gravity"

yeah I know but it feels out of place after 'candles in the sun'

I'm being petty mad at miggy for not sequencing it right.

and if you rep for the deluxe edition that means you're also gonna have to rep for the adorn remix w/ wiz khalifa

imo "All" is a much better ending to the album than nu-"Candles". in my mind the album has 13 tracks.

i have the Target edition of the CD, which has "Gravity" and "All" but not the Wiz remix :)

Channel Orange crossed over much more than Kaleidoscope Dream, I'd think. I can imagine a lot of people who haven't heard KD (or any other r'n'b this year) putting CO in the lower half of their ballots.

exactly

imo "All" is a much better ending to the album than nu-"Candles".

otm

who are the main contenders? ocean, yeah, but that's mostly the same voting bloc and miguel seems way more popular on ilm

Kendrick might beat both of them.

i could see Kendrick beating Frank Ocean. but def not Miguel.

can't wait for the surprise grizzly bear win

I'm part of the silent majority of Kellie Pickler supporters.

I forgot to vote in ilm poll

miguel talks the 90s:

Frank has a 0% chance of beating Miguel in albums

Kendrick is Miguel's main competition, Dawn is a dark horse contender. Other albums towards the top include Taylor, Swans, and Jessie

ha overestimating swans is really your thing huh

Haha maybe

I've just held the assumption that Miguel is more popular around these parts than Frank (who seems a lot more divisive here and has just never gotten quite a few people on board) for a while

not saying Miguel will necessarily beat Frank but it feels like there's a lot more enthusiasm for KD on ILM than CO. I could see it going either way.

a lot of 'visible enthusiasm' on ILM has more to do with who chooses to post at length about what than what they're listening to. there are plenty of indie bands that don't attract active threads during the year and then dominate ILM's year-end threads.

Idk mane songs @ 40, 17, & 3 imply a heavier voter bias than 23 & 20 do

ok so who's taking my $5 bet on this.

wow you're an asshole

(...says the guy who didn't vote)

i feel pretty confident that kendrick will beat both by a lot but frank and miggy will probably be close. gut feeling tells me frank beats him out though. way more mainstream exposure

i can't see that miggy clip on my phone, what traxx did he choose?

eh the feature was only a cute bit of fluff but

'motownphilly', 'are you that somebody', 'tell me'

tell meeeeeeeeeeeee!

groove theory not dru hill :)

Whens the last time three songs from an album placed in the tracks poll and how did it do on the albums poll?

Eh, it's not that unusual. Remember that not just Miguel, but Jessie Ware and Nicki Minaj placed three tracks each in this year's poll. Last year Beyonce did and the year before that TayTay had three and Kanye had four.

:( i suppose that is a little more in miguel's style

Groove Theory >>> tho

i can't agree with you, if only because i recently had to run 10 laps around camden yards for saying 112 was better than dru hill

lol

Ha I prefer 112 too

otm. not even close imo

bummer, i wanna hear this
Groove Theory is a great choice

yeah, catalog is just stronger. DH's best songs are due for reappraisal though. xp
