I think the winner is likely to come from the first five or the last few... with Madonna being the real unknown for me, can't work out if she'll do really well or not

0 Cibo Matto - The Spoon SCENE

0 Smoke City - Devil Mood

 

So after 5 votes, there is a change of leader with Air just ahead of Madge and an incredibly tight top 8 with only 4 vote separating them! Locust has shot right up so one to watch after receiving 2 12 points in a row? Cibo Matto and Smoke City remain on 0 points.

 

Oops I lost track of what time it was and missed the start of this, here for the rest of it!

 

Absolutely no idea what to expect to win here so intrigue to see how it plays out. A decent leader at the moment x

 

AH Gold's is my favourite of the entries revealed so far but Ansel's also grew on me a good amount on second listen.
