April 6Apr 6 I had forgotten about these coming tonight oops but Jade reminded me earlier - very much intrigued to see how my song will do, I think I'll be avoiding my usual depths but maybe not quite touching the heights of Locust x(inb4 I come last anyway)
April 6Apr 6 Hype! I wasn't able to attend the listening session so unsure what to expect but hoping for a top 10 return after three contests outside it.

April 6Apr 6 I enjoyed both of those first two reveals! The host entry was right up my street in particular.
April 6Apr 6 Knew there was no way Dolly Dots would be anyone other than WoW73 haha, you do keep trying to make them happen xx (this was a cute cover)Really enjoyed your own pick Severin! Oop though I can't say I particularly liked Chicks On Speed so I'm not so in tune with Chez's throwback picks at the moment... (at least I did love your BJSC entry last month x)

April 6Apr 6 I figured Mr Ed Jumps The Gun was Cody's when I was putting together the YouTube playlist and saw it was Dance Dance Revolution related xNice pick from Julian.
April 6Apr 6 Author OK, next we have the entries from Herbs and Mango. Herbs entered Pentatonix' cover of Radiohead's classic and Mango entered The Fratellis take on Baccara's disco smash.
