But the songs by the less well known artists could be much better. 🤨

Dont know most of these but I Trance is brilliant, a million-selling personal chart-topper for me in 2019, what a monster! Balenciaga Covered Eyes is currently fab too ❤️ Release Me, what a record that was too, epic.

Still, maybe one of the other unknown tracks is fabulous too! 😄

I noticed “I Trance” did quite poorly in the 2019 heats for Record Of The Decade last year though! I guess many people just vote for what they know in that, but maybe there’s still hope for everyone else.

This is a really fun edition btw. I'm actually pleasantly surprised that no one for a Kelly Clarkson/Leona deep cut or something.

If I was to try and enter them I'd probably have done these:

Kelly Clarkson - Don't Let Me Stop You (although I feel like that's been sent to a contest already? Maybe When I entered her in AF Idol so perhaps I wouldn't have?)

Leona - Naked

Alexandra Burke - Between The Sheets

Loreen - See You Again

That wouldn't have been my first Cher Lloyd choice, but that's a really brave selection to choose for BJ! (Banger though ofc!)

So I appreciate that this contest isn't anywhere NEAR as cheap as I assumed it would have been! Great work on the hosting so far too!

You could add another contest here - Bo Bruce was on Orange Unsigned Act before The Voice

She lost to Tommy Reilly, who id have thought about sending if this forum liked alternative sounding male pop vocals in a contest like this!

Who knew Dot Rotten changed his stage name?

I didn't until last year.

A reminder that the listen through will be this time tomorrow, so 20:00 on Tuesday. 😊

Won't be able to make it unfortunately but I did already do a listenthrough and will do another one later this week before voting.

Ahh, I can't make the listen through, which is a shame.

I've already voted anyhows, but I'd have been there for the social aspect

I'm also out tomorrow but I've listened through once and plan to listen again before voting. I enjoyed a lot of these.

I could make it Thursday instead if that’s preferable for the majority.

Say “like” if you want to stick with tomorrow and “love” if you prefer Thursday? I’ll decide by 17:00 or so tomorrow.

Anyone who can do today but not Thursday? Thinking to move it.

Either day would be alright for me.

OK we’re going with Thursday 😊

Ah cool I should be able to do Thursday

Hoping to be able to as well. Or at least part of it.

Is that THE Raye on the Chameleon song?

I’m assuming not as she has 2 monthly listeners on Spotify! It does sound quite like her though.

I'm back from my holiday now so will try to join in the listen through tomorrow, will be very handy as I haven't had chance to listen to the songs yet
