-2 G-Eazy and Halsey - Him & I

nothing else I feel strongly negatively about enough to give a -1

 

edit: oi I'm doing my votes now

OK I'll count 'em!

Thanks, don't think they change any qualifiers regardless though ('Girls' just scraping in still :eyes: x)

 

Can you give me a couple of minutes to vote in the other two rounds? xx

Yep go ahead.

A runaway top 3 in Group A, far ahead of the rest. Will it be in the same order in the final? A very impressive negative score posted by XXXTENTACION but it's not the lowest we'll see (nor have had in previous years).

 

As Bré pointed out his votes didn't change any of the qualifiers but Girls was very nearly kicked out!

Boo hiss Rita, but a pretty good set of qualifiers otherwise (and most of those close to knocking out Rita weren't that great either tbf).

 

I have still never heard 'changes' and don't particularly intend to do so any time soon - I have given 'whoa (mind in awe)' one listen though and it's the most blatantly unfinished song of his that I've heard to date, it sounds vaguely pleasant but it's literally album intro quality at best. Poor brave all of the UK rap songs ('079ME' being the highest of them?? :lol: (edit: actually I skipped over 'Check' which I guess counts as well))
