Are we allowed to say how we voted - or is it a complete no-no

As much as it's probably gonna mean a very quiet week compared to the others, would be best for the ~tension~ if nobody reveals how they've voted

Some absolute brutal match ups here. Kesha vs Kelly and Nelly vs Blondie are the toughest two match ups to pick right now.

Edited March 10Mar 10 by Paddington James

Is it too late to put Nelly and Kelly together instead?

Scissor Sisters certainly playing with fire with that battle against a BuzzJack fave in Conan who's gone into overdrive this round.

Chappell the hottest property of 2025 going up against the hottest property of the 2026 Brit Awards. Which one is taking the subway home...

One way or another, Blondie could be eaten alive by the maneater that is Mrs. Furtado.

Florence Welch will certainly need to shake off any jitters from the previous round against the supremacy of FKA (Florence Kick Ass) Twigs.

Will the youth of Troye be enough to come out on top against the seniority of Mr. Kershaw's signature hit?

Kesha seemingly knows her time is almost up as she watches the ticking tock of the clock whilst a certain Kelly force is wishing her to be gone.

Delta reminds us we will all be lost without her but then Freddie tells us not to judge him... again.. how can you possibly make a choice?

The Weeknd has lost his touch as he struggles to feel his face, understandable when he sees whose on the other side of the court laying out their love to their fans.

With The Chicks gone, we have the Kittens left, but if they thought axing Kerry during the release of this single was bad, wait until they see Wham... I mean... George Michael.

Erasure command respect for their song choice this round, but one person who doesn't show them any respect in this round is the Hero himself David Bowie.

The Corrs are really not sure what they can do this round to stay in the competition. Ruel's answer is to simply take a wild guess.

Lily Allen has a clear message for her opponent HAIM who are still in it... but not for much longer once Lily is through with them.

Ok and the cheap lines are over... for now.

@Calum must regret not putting me on commentary... not.

KELLY VS KESHA AND ROSALIA VS CHAPPELL are imposssssssible for me to split

There are plenty of battles here where I'm not sure how I'm going to call it, and then also a few where in trying to go popular they've landed on a song of theirs I wouldn't consider a favourite myself, but overall I really don't see any clear cut results here, exciting!

Double Twigs!!

Rosalia vs Chappell lol it’s been a good run y’all x

We are with you Commander.

The real question everyone should be asking at this stage is... are we any closer to finding Lady BuzzJack and what is our strategy for rescuing her???

Yeah, some of these I have literally NO IDEA how I'm gonna vote... Kesha vs Kelly... The Weeknd vs Abba... I mean, COME ON!! (Oh, and I am so going out this round )

Kesha vs. Kelly is like the Manchester Derby... United vs. City, will it be Red or Blue. I think it could be a very close one but I have a sneaky suspicion it's City who will win 2-1.

Continuing the football analogy, one of these battles is like seeing Arsenal (current leaders) vs. Tottenham Hotspur (based on their current form). Will leave you to decide who that might be.

(Maybe someone like @Dobbo or @Mack could provide better Sport analysis).

The votes from the Electro Jury have been submitted

3 horrible ones for me

Nelly Furtado vs Blondie

Erasure vs Bowie

And another one where I prefer one artist (was actually an artist I had considered) but prefer the song of the other artist!

it just occurred to me that there will be 24 artists competing for one spot via The Platinum Paije Rock of Hopes and Dreams!!!

Just listened to the songs and if it didn’t hit before it has now. This is going to be really tough.

Going to ask the question now just for reference but whilst I understand votes are anonymous this round, are we allowed to make battle predictions in this thread for who we think will win each battle?

Either way it's going to take some time to figure out.

Edit: Actually, thinking about it again, it might be unadvisable to do because if an act gets one or more predictions to lose the battle it could affect how others choose to cast their votes if they perceive someone is in danger. Maybe waiting until after the voting window closes to make predictions publicly is best.

Kesha Vs Kelly it's two titans who met twice this season and its 1-1, they're joint favourites, they turn into the home straight with two hurdles left to jump and there is nothing to separate them as they approach the last hurdle. They jump it together, they're streets ahead of the rest, the crowd is going wild it's still neck and neck as they approach the winning post and it's an photo finish.
