I was feeling the same about Wish I Had An Angel in the last round. 2 20s, ends up with 47 points.

 

The competition is just as much about how much certain songs are known as it is quality.

 

And personal connection/memories. I've never heard a few of the songs in this shortlist before but I severely doubt listening to them once would bump them up over songs that soundtracked an important part of my life (2006 was one of my favourite years ever, in my personal life!).

In alphabetical order, 2006's 15 qualifiers:

 

All Saints - Rock Steady

Beyoncé (feat. Jay-Z) - Déjà Vu

Cassie - Me & U

Fedde Le Grand - Put Your Hands Up For Detroit

Infernal - From Paris To Berlin

Justice vs Simian - We Are Your Friends

Justin Timberlake feat. T.I. - My Love

Kelly Clarkson - Walk Away

Muse - Starlight

Nelly Furtado - Promiscuous

P!nk - Stupid Girls

Razorlight - America

Scissor Sisters - I Don't Feel Like Dancin'

Shakira - Don't Bother

Sugababes - Red Dress

 

This time only 8 of these were in the final last year, indeed, 5 songs (Nerina, Oakenfold, Pipettes, Christina Aguilera and Mary J Blige) fell out last year and fail to get back in, so there's some new possibilities in 2006. And most importantly, Scissor Sisters and Razorlight qualified!

 

Justice & Simian :cheer: :cheer: Also good to see Scissor Sisters, Fedde Le Grand and Muse through

 

Yay for P!nk and Sugababes, I suppose! :cheer: The rest are a bit forgettable.

Amazed that Daz came top 40! :D

43 Sunblock - I'll Be Ready 97

19 Supermode - Tell Me Why 171

17 David Guetta vs The Egg - Love Don't Let Me Go (Walking Away) 177

16 Pussycat Dolls (feat. Will.i.am) - Beep 177

 

Sunblock finishing so low is sad but expected. Supermode, David Guetta and PCDs coming so close but so far though... :cry:

 

Overall I am happy with the qualifiers, especially Fedde Le Grand, that's right Buzzjack - Fedde Le Grand is through :cheer: My Love, Me & U and We Are Your Friends are the other highlights for me

 

Damien Rice not getting through physically hurts my soul.

49 Sean Paul - Temperature 91

38 Beyoncé & Slim Thug - Check On It 113

27 Christina Aguilera - Ain't No Other Man 151

18 Leona Lewis - A Moment Like This 174

16 Pussycat Dolls (feat. Will.i.am) - Beep 177

 

WTF Buzzjack?!

 

UGH RED DRESS. Poor Sugababes song alert.
