August 29, 20213 yr Author LOOK HOW CLOSE!!! :cheeseblock: :cheeseblock: Very happy with Brit! :wub: Pleased with Little Mix's position too - just wondering if it's enough to boost them after falling bad in the last round! Very, VERY surprised at Katy falling so short?! :mellow: WTF happened there. Also, it's a safe top half for P!nk, but I expected Just Like A Pill to do better than it did :\
August 29, 20213 yr HUGE songs from Katy and Ava finishing low just goes to show the insane quality in that round :drama: Wow! Gaga :wub:
August 29, 20213 yr Ari really needed a good result after the previous round so I'm happy with 6th in such a bloodbath round. Hopefully she's done enough to escape elimination!
August 29, 20213 yr Author Just goes to show, a good pop song NEVER AGES @dandy* !!!!!! :angry: :cheeseblock:
August 29, 20213 yr Great result for Sugababes, so please with that. Happy for Britney and Pink as well.
August 30, 20213 yr Sir Calvin Harris *.* thankfully Rihanna's forum never managed to get to the song before us! I suspect that's still not enough to save us from elimination but I'll take the round Win.
August 30, 20213 yr Told them they should have sent Spanish Lesson from Hard Candy How is Katy Perry so low when her sang is easily one of the best here?!
August 30, 20213 yr I think with Dark Horse, it was just such a strong round. I think we've done enough anyway to not be eliminated. I think :lol: very happy with Rihannas performance! :cheer:
August 30, 20213 yr Don't Start Now, an actual cultural reset, only 13th? Might just be me, but I feel New Rules, One Kiss and Levitating were more "cultural resets" than DSN.
August 30, 20213 yr Just ordering the 26 Covid tests needed for those who didn’t pick Just Like A Pill. Glad to see it finish top half, hopefully 4/5 times top 12 will be enough to see Pink through.
August 30, 20213 yr but the biggest shock is Vogue!!! I wasn’t expecting it to finish top 3 or anything but 14th is way too low for what is the most iconic song in that list (maybe with CGYOOMH). Her older songs never do as well in this contest though, I guess it’s always harder to truly love a song if you weren’t there when it was released and you don’t have the memories attached to it.
August 30, 20213 yr Might just be me, but I feel New Rules, One Kiss and Levitating were more "cultural resets" than DSN. maOw! VX9SWl24Y7k Don't Start Now started 80s disco-inspired trend in pop music in 2019/last year. Levitating followed on from that. New Rules and One Kiss were on trend to house and tropical house sounds popular at the time imo. Don't Start Now also Dua's most streamed song on Spotify till date Justice for Dua. AF Idol voters underappreciating her this year is a traversty :cry: #DuaDeservesTop12 #JusticeForGarden
August 30, 20213 yr I think it's cos Don't Start Now is a new-is song, they don't seem to do as well in general as songs from when people were growing up guess many here grew up with Spice Girls and so, with fewer people growing up with Vogue, hence why Madonna flopped this round
August 30, 20213 yr Poor Dua, we sent some absolute corkers in but I think sadly she’ll be leaving us :(
August 30, 20213 yr Poor Dua, we sent some absolute corkers in but I think sadly she’ll be leaving us :( Our 3 time Grammy Award winner and dancing inspiration deserves better :(
