This year's 20 quid music prize.

So, obviously everyone's as excited about me about the popjustice.com 20 quid music prize. I thought it'd be nice to have a thread for y'all to discuss the shortlist, and perhaps make rash decisions about the all-important winner of the all-important 20 quid.

I can't make a poll, too many options, but here's the shortlist:

Acceptable In The 80s - Calvin Harris
Rehab - Amy Winehouse
Beware Of The Dog - Jamelia
Catch You - Sophie Ellis-Bextor
Don't Give It Up - Siobhan Donaghy
Foundations - Kate Nash
Overpowered - Roisin Murphy
She's - Madonna' Robbie Williams
Shine - Booty Luv
Something Kinda Oooh - Girls Aloud
Stop Me - Mark Ronson
Yeah Yeah - Bodyrox feat Luciana

Do you know that A Studio ft. Polina song called SOS? I don't know if it's been released this year but they play it around a lot. Check it out because I have a feeling that you might like it.

C'mon, everyone knows the best song this year is 'LDN is a Victim', everyone.

does the band called Shine have a song named Booty Luv, or does Booty Luv have a song named Shine?

this will be an important factor in my ultimate decision.

you're only fooling yourself

The smart money's on Calvin Harris, but it should really go to Girls Aloud (again).

sadly, i think it's going to go to rehab.

For posterity - oh wait, I should do this before I forget: T&B - Cunt off, you cock-hopper.

Anyway, I digress - for posterity, my in-depth song-by-song analysis:

Acceptable In The 80s - Calvin Harris

Shit.

Rehab - Amy Winehouse

Amazing. It took me far, far too long to realise the brilliance of this song.

Beware Of The Dog - Jamelia

A slow-burner that, in retrospect, is brilliant. She's clearly a twat though.

Catch You - Sophie Ellis-Bextor

Nearly brilliant enough to be in that category of Rachel Stevens 'what the fuck are you thinking in not buying this clearly brilliant record, Johnny fuckwit average Briton?'

Don't Give It Up - Siobhan Donaghy

Sounds like it's not shit, when in fact it is.

Foundations - Kate Nash

Clearly wants to be Lily Allen. Just because this song is pretty good doesn't mean she should have a career.

Overpowered - Roisin Murphy

Gash, as is everything she does (NB - I am obliged by where I come from to say this. Thankfully, I agree with the prevailing attitude around this woman)

She's Madonna - Robbie Williams

Nearly alright, but unfortunately, it hasn't got a chorus.

Shine - Booty Luv

Meat-factory style alright dance tune. Wouldn't listen to it if I wasn't hammered.

Something Kinda Oooh - Girls Aloud

Well, obviously the right choice. Although Rehab neck-and-necks it a bit.

Stop Me - Mark Ronson

JUST FUCK OFF AND DIE YOU MUSIC-RAPING CUNT.

Yeah Yeah - Bodyrox feat Luciana

Turd of the Shoreditchest degree.

Racist Italian Cunt - thanks for the heads up, I'll well check that out, innit?

Rehab won it, by the way.

Wonder what she'll spend the £20 quid on?
