September 22, 20213 yr Disappointed with Shallow's placing :( Should have sent something more urban :cry:
September 22, 20213 yr Should have sent something more urban :cry: Will remember this for the next Idol 0UM2ctGZff8 Cake will get its time to shine x
September 22, 20213 yr Results tomorrow! Just thought we'd give you time to process and celebrate (or not?) the final round results first!
September 22, 20213 yr Ecstatic that Frozen ran Britney so close. Whilst I massively prefer Frozen, can’t argue that Baby… is a great pop song and a deserved winner
September 22, 20213 yr Disappointed with Shallow's placing :( Kerth and I tried to warn you!!! Shallow is just okay, but very very MORE. Surprisingly good results for Buzzjack :o Also, listening again made me wondee: what exactly does hit me baby one more time mean?? Was it like 90s slang for a kiss?
September 22, 20213 yr Author Or like hit me up?? This was the intended meaning! Music journalist John Seabrook has said "Everybody thought it was some sort of weird allusion to domestic violence or something. But what it really was, was the Swedes using English not exactly correctly. What they really wanted to say was, “hit me up on the phone one more time” or something. But at that point, Max's English wasn't that great. So it came out sounding a little bit weird in English.
September 22, 20213 yr Disappointed to see Pink at the bottom again. She really hasn’t stood a chance since the second half began.
September 22, 20213 yr Max Martin they mean?! Ooh so it was like hit me up. Question is, does thr song really make sense anymore in English? :P Huge bop, but maybe the lyrics need tweakin.
September 23, 20213 yr 'Frozen' was quite a comfortable favourite for me here but '...Baby One More Time' was within my top 3 so I'm satisfied with that winner! Looking forward to seeing which artist is champion of the whole edition.
