Which shall we send for AF Idol?

Team 'Love At First Sight'!

On a Night Like This

If it's a case of "now or never", Love At First Sight needs its chance! :wub: If it could still be sent later, send OANLT first!

'On a Night Like This' edges it as my favourite but I think 'Love at First Sight' has the bigger reach. I know quite a few non-Kylie fans, on- and off-site, who consider it her best and I'm not certain about how much further we can make it in the competition if I'm being honest. I'd rather go all out now.

Both absolute bangers - either would be strong entries

This :cheer:

Love at First Sight.

On A Night Like This

 

But we should have sent All I Wanna Do for queen Dannii to come through again 😉

On a Night Like This!

Love at first sight

 

It’s an actual bop

I rank these about the same. It just depends on my mood for them.

 

I voted OANLT (earlier) but I can see cases for both. I feel like these 2 shoulda switched places with ATL though in the free choice rounds, ngl :(

Both are great but much prefer love at first sight.

You know what, although 'On a Night Like This' is my actual favourite... 'Love At First Sight' is almost as good and I'll give it a vote on its 18th birthday today! :heart:

I went with On a Night Like This, but barely anything separates these two songs for me - they're both incredible!

On a night like this!! But both are just amazing songs!

'On A Night Like This' is my favourite so I've voted it for that reason, but I'd be very hesitant to send it in this round (in fact, I thought it was considered for the previous free choice round but 'All The Lovers' was picked as the more popular song). Last year, it was part of a split round where each artist submitted both a single and an album track (with 2 separate polls), and it came 3rd last among the singles:

ROUND 9 RESULTS: (73 votes):

 

1st. Katy Perry - Never Really Over (46) + Walking On Air (49) - 95

2nd. Lady Gaga - Just Dance (42) + Scheiße (40) - 82

3rd. Britney Spears - Stronger (39) + Breathe On Me (40) - 79

4th. Girls Aloud - Biology (39) + Girl Overboard (36) - 75

5th. Little Mix - Move (40) + Wasabi (33) - 73

6th. Kylie Minogue - On A Night Like This (32) + Your Disco Needs You (26) - 58

7th. Dua Lipa - Last Dance (23) + Beggin (22) - 45

8th. Rita Ora - Ritual (15) + New Look (26) - 41

It was a triple elimination and, based on combined votes between the 2 songs, Dua and Rita were immediately eliminated and Kylie and Little Mix went into a play-off, which Kylie lost by 1 vote:

Play-Off Results:

01st: Little Mix - Move (35 Votes)

02nd: Kylie Minogue - On A Night Like This (34 Votes)

Little Mix are submitting 'Move' this round so Kylie would be against the same song again, along with (likely) more popular songs from Katy/Gaga and big ones from other artists, so I don't expect 'On A Night Like This' would survive.

 

I feel like 'Love At First Sight' is a more popular and better known song and safer choice, so I would go for it. That said, I'm not sure if 'Love At First Sight' would make my vote (depends how many songs I love are entered) whereas 'On A Night Like This' should be safe for me, and 'On A Night Like This' is leading the poll, so maybe it's actually the more popular one... in which case I expect she's doomed either way :lol:

 

Edit: having gone through all the threads, yeah I do think she's doomed. Depending how the as-of-yet-undecided entries go even 'On A Night Like This', as much as I love it, could end up 5th for me :cry: If you think 'Get Outta My Way' is more popular than these 2 I'd suggest considering it, but my guess would be that 'Love At First Sight' would be the one most likely to pick up casual votes regardless.

I take your points and I do agree that it's likely Kylie will go in this round, so I'm happy to just go with whatever the popular option is in the poll, happy with the knowledge that there's nothing else that could be done. 'Love at First Sight' strikes me as the wider-reaching song, but at this point I'm thinking it could be more important to send the song that most people agree is their absolute favourite, which is showing to be 'On a Night Like This'. Songs sent by other AFs may be really popular and more recognised, but if they're not people's top favourite from said artist, whereas 'On a Night Like This' is, Kylie might benefit from that.

I think love at first sight is the wider reaching song and with a double elimination on a night like this is riskier, if it's a thing kylie goes in this round she will be eliminated in or around at the same place as last time with the same song if on a night like this is sent in.

On a night like this would get my vote.
