20 80 5 Seconds Of Summer - She Looks So Perfect
21 80 Nico & Vinz - Am I Wrong
22 54 will.i.am feat. Miley Cyrus - Feelin' Myself

It'd be criminal for Paloma and Katy to not make it through! But, a lot of other great ones on the list, they will be missed.

:o

Katy and Paloma were together in group G and together they make the final. Group G was the strongest overall of the groups imo (well, it did include Idina!!) so I guess it's right to have more representation in the final.

We've reached a final of 24 songs and call me easily pleased but I only dislike about two :drama: So let's spread a bit more love. You can now submit a top 12. Top 10 is a minimum in order to be counted, your favourite will be given 12 points either way.

Sigma feat. Paloma Faith – Changing
Ariana Grande feat. Iggy Azalea – Problem
Lilly Wood & Robin Schulz – Prayer In C
Ed Sheeran - Don't
Coldplay - Magic
Beyoncé feat. Jay Z - Drunk In Love
Charli XCX - Boom Clap
G.R.L. - Ugly Heart
Sigma - Nobody To Love
Ariana Grande feat. Zedd - Break Free

(1 is +12, 2 is +11, 3 is +10, and so on until 12 is +1. Below 12 is 0)

1. Katy B - Crying For No Reason

2. Clean Bandit feat. Jess Glynne - Rather Be

Numbers 22-24 are absolutely awful, 21 isn't very good, 18-20 aren't exceptional but the rest totally deserve their place here. Shame Dark Horse won the wildcard at the expense of the much better Let Go For Tonight, Braveheart, Changes and I'm Not The Only One.

:( at Gecko just missing out (would have got my +12 in this final)
