BJSC 186 - Anne Hathaway

 

Not going to lie, last month was a bit frustrating for Herbilore. With numerous top 10/20 predictions, we finished comfortably outside of the top 20 and barely scraped into the final.....It really is the story of our life that we underperform against predictions/expectation.....

So anyway, this month we're going with an Oscar winner! Anne Hathaway contributed vocals to numerous songs from recent flick Mother Mary. The movie was a bit underwhelming but we had a moment seeing and hearing the in-film performance of Holy Spirit 2.

Here's hoping her proven ability to win awards will help us to qualify for the final!

We hope you enjoy :)

BJSC 187 - Boys Go To Jupiter

So we're at that point again. We've qualified twice in a row and now we aim to do something we've never done before - get a third consecutive qualification.

The odds are against us - in this position before, we've finished 24th, 22nd (robbed!) and 27th in the respective semi final.

So of course we've gone for a ballad.....Boys Go To Jupiter are a New York based three piece, who've had comparisons made to Chappel Roan of all people! 'Lovers Always Lose' is a superb slice of emotive pop, taking solace in self-deprecating views and a delicious melody.

Or, as Chat GPT would have you believe, it's time for HERBI-BOOOOOOOOOORE!

Either way, we hope you enjoy :)
