Genuinely surprised. When I Need You is a reasonable song - nothing special - but really didn't expect it to be so unpopular. I thought Kenny Rogers, Manhattan Transfer, BHoM and David Soul would all have picked up more votes.
For the record, the truly horrid track on this list is Float On.

Great result, but I didn't really expect it.

I voted for When I Need You. It's too drippy,no matter who sings it - and I don't like Leo Sayer from what was shown of him in the Big Brother house,so the song/him leapt out as the one to vote for.

I would have expected Float On to win it actually and not When I Need You.
This will probably surprise you but actually I was the single voter for Don't Cry For Me Argentina. My memory of it at the time was that it was really really tediously slow and dragged on and on and on. And just when you think it's finished it goes on a bit more. If it hadn't have been quite so slow it wouldn't have been so bad. And I really liked "Oh What A Circus" when that came out, thought it was much nicer, decent pace.

For the three of you who voted for the Xmas #1; you should be ashamed for voting for a single that contained one of Macca's greatest rockers written with lyrics from stories and characters in a pornographic magazine:

^ I'm not ashamed at all. MOK is a dirge and stayed at #1 for 9 agonising weeks
