Scotty is correct.

The Top 8 songs from last year are automatically through to the final.

 

You are supposed to vote from amongst the other songs that Scotty has quoted.

 

The top 12 from those songs will join the other 8 songs in the Final, which will start at the weekend.

Okay, somewhat confusing with the video's posted for last years Top8.

Too bad there aren't any Celine X-Mas songs included..she's got some great ones..

There was also another hit Christmas single called A WINTER'S TALE it was by David Essex and peaked at #2 in 1982.

Where on earth is "A Winter's Tale" by David Essex?

 

As for mentioning Lee 'grinning tosspot' Ryan in the same sentence as Johnny Mathis - shame on you.
