have i done the same thing as last edition again to herbs? we'll find out

I swear I’m always a late reveal! So glad to have followed you my podium finish with another good result

Thanks to all who gave me points - especially Jim, Jade and Rollo for the 12 points!

I far preferred Private Life to the other 2 main contenders so that to win hopefully.

(Unless Apollo can pull a mad one and steal it from here?)

I mean, I was baiting the alt crowd!

I actually discovered my song a few years ago (Drag Race) but I spent some of this year going through Diana Ross's discography because I thought it seemed absurd that for such a big artist with such longevity in the industry I was only aware of a handful of her songs

27/30
