March 28Mar 28 Nooooooo.She could have gone all the way!Just shows that song choice is everything. Always the golden rule.
March 28Mar 28 Yeah Nelly's mentor went a bit rogue with that song choice but an iconic swerve nonetheless.
March 28Mar 28 Gutted for Nelly, I wanted to see so much more from her, but kudos to Scissor sisters for managing to get through with all them low scores, it must have been very close.
March 28Mar 28 Damn!!!Say It Right was the only song I could have imagine challenging for the win in the finale against ABBA!!!
March 28Mar 28 GUTTED that Nelly has gone, she was my second favourite act left in the contest </3 And given nearly all my other favourites got knocked out last round that's not great.

March 28Mar 28 I think the Corrs were quite lucky to get through to the lives, so I'm not overly surprised to see them out, not a massive fan although I would've probably pointed Runaway quite highly.What a shame for Nelly, she could've easily got to the final with the likes of Promiscuous, Turn Off The Light, All Good Things... and Say It Right not sent yet, but that was always a very risky song choice.
March 28Mar 28 I wonder if 'Big Hoops' would have fared better in the "Flop" round and it may have been a wiser choice to have sent 'Promiscuous' now or something?
March 28Mar 28 Wow I thought we might get a shock Florence elimination when voting began but Nelly is even more of a shocking first boot on name alone! Although that was a very risky song choice indeed, albeit one I think is a bit over-hated.Glad Scissor Sisters are still in, 'She's My Man' isn't a particular favourite, so voted on song quality as ever - but they still have some great stuff left. I'd love to see 'Invisible Light' at some point!
March 28Mar 28 Shame to see Nelly going so soon but I can't get past that song choice, the processing on her vocals that era made her sound uncomfortably nasal.
March 28Mar 28 Big Hoops was one of the better Nelly choices for me and I still ranked it low, I think her time was coming to an end IMOstill very much enjoying Scissor Sisters here, glad they survive for a little bit longer

Both have enjoyed success at and near the top of the leaderboard over the weeks thanks to their brilliant mentoring from Dan and Paddington. Dan took some risks with Nelly Furtado, making sure we heard some dance entries and some lesser-known (or liked?) tracks from Nelly besides just the big hits, while Paddington took the chance to showcase a throwback dream with The Corrs by taking us right back to breezy feel-good pop. Perhaps with less risky song choices we could have seen Nelly contending for the win, but it has to be admired that Dan didn't play the game safe and certainly had people in his corner rooting for her all the way! The same can be said for Paddington and The Corrs who certainly have quite the quiet fanbase! Massive congratulations to both of you for making it this far and for bringing it week after week. Thank you
March 28Mar 28 Oh gosh Paddington! It does make sense. Well done on getting Corrs so far ❤️Dan was Nelly the week that Tiesto song showed up! An interesting and brave play for an iconic artist looking at those songs chosen.
