Feels I suppose is mid-tempo??? It’s probably up-tempo if it was by any of the other artists tbf

A few different media outlets such as MTV and Billboard described it as a "mid tempo jam" (or along those lines) when the song was new. It does have a reasonably slow BPM!

Obviously what classifies as a ballad or midtempo is always going to be subjective. Any eyebrow-raising choices were discussed within the team and approved to be within the spirit of the round, ultimately that's all we can do on some borderline tracks because there's no objective way to tell!

Really hoping these choives pay off for Little Mix and Britney. We were debating to go cheaper (Secret Love Song and Everytime) but thought it'd be more rewarding to go for less obvious choices.

Hopefully someone finds LM to be a nice lil discovery for them!

That was such a lovely listen I loved SO many of those songs so much!

My top 12:
1. Spice Girls – Viva forever
2. Lady Gaga – I’ll never love again
3. Madonna – The power of goodbye
4. Harry Styles – Sign of the times
5. Steps – It’s the way you make me feel
6. Suagababes - Stronger
7. Kylie Minogue – Slow
8. Girls Aloud – The loving kind
9. Taylor Swift – All too well
10. Katy Perry – The one that got away
11. Britney Spears – Born to make you happy
12. Ru Paul – Here it comes around again

Viva forever is my favourite song of all time, the music, the lyrics, the nostalgia and memories I don't think any other song will ever beat it for me! wub.gif
I loved every single song in my top 12, Ru Paul was a great discovery never heard it before but so catchy (not totally sure it was a ballad or midtempo but ok lol).
The Taylor Swift one I remember from last AF Idol and I fell in love with the song (alongside discovering and Ellie Goulding Lost and found in the same round I think) and I've revisited (both) many times since!
First time for Taylor and Katy getting a vote from me yahoo.gif
The rest were all classics that I already loved.

The rest:
13. Ariana Grande – POV
14. Rihanna - Unfaithful
15. Ava Max – Freaking me out
16. Zara Larsson - Symphony
17. Take That - Sure
18. Pink – Please don’t leave me
19. Dua Lipa – That kind of woman
20. Little Mix – Love me or leave me
21. Shawn Mendes – Look up at the stars
22. Olivia Rodrigo – Traitor
23. Rita Ora – Body on me
24. Calvin Harris – Feels

I wouldn't say I loved any of these to the extent of the top 12 so that made it easy enough to separate them. However there were some great discoveries here Ariana Grande in particular was a beautiful track. I also really enjoyed the Ava Max track.
First time Rihanna hasn't made it but I think it was the wrong choice personally when she had Take a bow or Diamonds there for the taking, still a nice enough track.
Take That's choice was very poor when they have so many fantastic ballads Shine, Patience, Back for good, She's the one, Eternity, The Road to Mandalay, You know me... all the mentioned ones would have been in my top 12.
