09 Angelica - Scared (Of Falling) (WoW73)

02 P.Y.T. - We're Dancing (Riser)

Japanese Breakfast collect six more points from that trio and stay ahead but now it’s Porter Robinson mounting a late charge, with 16 points there helping Cheerleader leap into second place ahead of Heidi Montag and Valencia Grace! Margaret completes the top five, but can one of the hot songs of 2016 still mount a challenge? Elsewhere Louise continues to score consistently (how many more 5 pointers can she collect?) and is top ten now while a 12 for Chrissy Costanza helps her leap up the midtable. P.Y.T. and Angelica haven’t moved for a while at the bottom but Milica Pavlovic and Albino collected a few more points there.

Thanks everyone so far voting for Uhl, especially @jimwatts and @Jade for medal positions (sorry if I missed any other) <3

I loved Uhl since I discovered her last year in another forum (she smashed there just FYI) and I was debating (Rich knows my doubts about it lol) if she’ll be appreciated enough in this contest or not, but decided to keep her here because I knew I will never going to send her in BJSC, considering the song takes couple of listens to really like it (or not)!!!

In the end, I’m just happy she got to be discovered by the others and she does have a new single out ‘Dream Lightly’ and it’s as artsy and good as ‘Opera Disco’ <3

Travis is having a good evening, courtesy of Heidi Montag who has undergone something of a career revival this year. Armed with a Yazoo sample also used by The Saturdays in If This Is Love, can this go all the way tonight?

Yes Travis! Great choice and good to see we pointed each other :)

Herbs is aiming for his highest ever contest finish after a blinding listenthrough reaction (somebody remarked it could win BJSC!), and Valencia Grace is clearly in with a shot of being a big hit here, but how big?

What’s the forfeit if I lose by 1 point?

Now we move onto Cody Piastri, who sent Australian non-binary pop singer and rapper G Flip!

Well it’s a new scoreboard so it must be time for…another new leader! As Heidi Montag takes the lead following the votes from that trio and 20 points there. Margaret is now in second with a huge 23 points in that set, with Japanese Breakfast up by only three points and dropping to third. Porter Robinson and Valencia Grace are more than keeping up the pace, both just eight points behind the leader meaning a single big vote could put any of second to fifth into the lead. Down the other end and there is no score for the bottom three who remain the same.

Valencia Grace sounded like an alternate universe Sophie Ellis-Bextor.

Thank you - literally trawled through playlists trying to find something!

They have had maybe the most hype of anyone, but can Japanese Breakfast go all the way for WhoOdyssey?

Oh of course Cody is behind G Flip, that makes so much sense

I think we should just stick to this scoreboard!

J00prstar is starting to see The Jezabels pick up now, but will the 2012 single make a late charge for the top ten?

I kinda have to agree that some of these entries didn't really pop off in the chorus. but some did!

These top 3 were exemplary for my taste and knocked down my pre-listening top 1 (Aftersun)

A comment about some songs not popping off in the chorus by the person who sent the song which had the least chorus of them all (imo)

(again, good song though xx)

Brer did not need Aftersun but more of an Aftertaste from Katie Gavin. How have Brer's votes shaken things up?

Katie has recently been working with the legendary Sarah McLachlan, they have been working together on new music and we all look forward to hearing what they've got coming up.

I think most of these songs do deliver on having big choruses so wondering which ones people were questioning x (maybe The Jezabels)

also wondering who sent Minami since Iz wasn't in this contest but wow that's a banger of an anime theme
