15 hours ago15 hr I mean if everyone has to vote for themselves it shouldn't matter about removing the votes, especially as most people are probably going to give themselves the maximum? I guess for reveal purposes you could still keep it anon and just say "the person behind this entry voted..." But I'm sure Calum has it planned out anyway!
15 hours ago15 hr Scissor Sisters, The Corrs and Ace Of Base aren’t playing!! Biggest hits straight out the gate. That ABBA choice is a bit wtf but yet to listen to it yet so will hold off judgement. 😅
14 hours ago14 hr @Calum just wondering, will entrants be penalised for not voting? (not that I have any intention of not voting but just clarifying what the rules are!)
14 hours ago14 hr I would agree that with this first round, this definitely seems like the most competitive set of songs!
13 hours ago13 hr It's a bit unorthodox but would anyone like to have a listenthrough session? I could host one tomorrow evening if any were interested in coming along?
13 hours ago13 hr That A1 song is like kryptonite to me - and on a purely superficial level, Mark is so beautiful (he’s even better now older!) I knew The Chicks song but oh my that’s Jane Krakowski in the video! Legend
13 hours ago13 hr Its a good line-up/ mix of songs. Shame the Atomic Kitten song is a cover; I know it was a big song for them, but it feels odd to start things off with a cover-version.Need to check out the songs I don't know. Edited 13 hours ago13 hr by ElectroBoy

I feel like if it was all of them it would encourage people to vote in all of them

13 hours ago13 hr Just now, Lindsey. said:Exactly, could even alternate the tracks so it's not just one category after the other ☺️That's a good idea, keeps all the fleets engaged that way.Ok shall we say 8pm tomorrow then and maybe @Calum could just post an announcement to any who may be interested in coming along and I'll post links closer to the time.
13 hours ago13 hr It's certainly tricky to rank songs you've known and loved for years with songs you don't know, yet while trying to be fair to new 'discoveries'. I couldn't call how this round will go as it's a super competitive group:01 The Corrs (favourite)02 Ace Of Base03 Florence + The Machine04 Blondie05 A106 The Chicks07 Atomic Kitten08 Scissor Sisters09 HAIM10 The 197511 ABBA12 Erasure13 Girlicious Edited 13 hours ago13 hr by gooddelta

(not that I have any intention of not voting but just clarifying what the rules are!)Not in the beginning stages, but probably later down the line yeah like last time!Listen through is a good shout too
12 hours ago12 hr I'm down for a listenthrough as there are probably a lot of songs I either need a refresher on or don't know at all, and sometimes the live listenthrough is more motivating for listening to everything for some reason.
11 hours ago11 hr Give the new songs a chance by listening a few times otherwise they will have no chance!!
