It’s going to pain me if BuzzJack tanks Robyn for sending this song, it’s great! I’ll also be regarding low scores for her as being a slight towards Beverley Knight too x

'Keep This Fire Burning' is one of her better songs imo oop

Ok, this round is literal FIRE 🔥

Brava ladies

MARINA LAST... WHATTTTT????

Somebody had to sorry!!!

Nothing against the song, it's an amazing song but I don't have that strong of a connection with :(.

Also, side note... this round is absolutely incredible. Not a single bad song from the ladies here, people in this category have come to play. I am going to need a few days to process this order.

I am spending a couple days with @Lee_J11 this week, we have already planned a listening party to try and break this down

I will say, I am disappointed with the Robyn choice considering her absolute solid catalogue of songs and how much of a fan favourite she is here on BJ, maybe a touch complacent? That being said, for it to have so many last place votes is really shocking, it isn't that bad I had Robyn being a comfortable top 5 of this event so it would be the most shocking elimination for sure.

What a strong batch of songs we have here.

I'd like to personally thank Marina's mentor.

I've been a fan since 2012 and listened to all her albums as she's released them, but it's been a good 6 years plus since I've listened to her albums properly in full. I'll be making sure I do that soon. The Family Jewels and Electra Heart are masterpieces.

01 Sophie Ellis-Bextor – Bittersweet (fave)

02 Zara Larsson - Can't Tame Her

03 Agnes - 24 Hours

04 Jessie Ware - Hot N Heavy

05 Leona Lewis feat. Avicii - Collide

06 Robyn - Keep This Fire Burning

07 Adele - Chasing Pavements

08 Kate Bush - Cloudbusting

09 MARINA - I Am Not a Robot

Those two posts completely opposing each other

Should we be worried for Marina?

Starting with the females as I’m a bit strapped for time this week and I’m familiar with all of these so gave them a quick and easy listen on the way to work:

09 Agnes - 24 Hours (I feel equally about all of my top 3 and don’t really know how to split them but Agnes hasn’t had a top rating from me yet and I think this is one of her best ever, so felt deserving of the maximum at last for an artist that I adore)

08 Zara Larsson - Can't Tame Her (could easily be a third week at the top for me, a pretty flawless pop song by one of my favourite artists of all time - 24 Hours just whacked me over the head that liiiitle bit more)

07 Adele - Chasing Pavements (this has aged like fine wine, an instant classic sounding song and that final chorus is just euphoric when she leads in with the big note from the middle 8 - I think I appreciate this more now than I would’ve done aged 12)

06 Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Bittersweet (I’ve always had a soft spot for this song and found it underrated so I’m glad to see it receiving love in this thread, lush)

05 Leona Lewis feat. Avicii - Collide (is it generic for Leona? Yes. Does it still bang? Absolutely. Loving all the representation for Leonas up tempos in this contest because they don’t get enough wider world love)

04 Kate Bush - Cloudbusting (again, splitting hairs at this point but easily my favourite Kate entry to date so I felt like it deserved more than the bare minimum)

03 Jessie Ware - Hot N Heavy (the era where I sat up and paid attention to Jessie, fantastic song but pretty much every other single from this era has more of an impact on me)

02 MARINA - I Am Not a Robot (I definitely loved this when it was released and it still does sound great but hasn’t aged with as much finesse as others to my ears, still like an 8/10 though, it’s just a super strong pack)

01 Robyn - Keep This Fire Burning (again, I hate to add to the dogpile because this isn’t a bad song but I definitely prefer I Am Not A Robot by a decent distance so I couldn’t put it anywhere else)

01 Kate Bush - Cloudbusting

02 Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Bittersweet

03 MARINA - I Am Not a Robot

04 Agnes - 24 Hours

05 Adele - Chasing Pavements

06 Zara Larsson - Can't Tame Her

07 Leona Lewis - Collide (feat. Avicii)

08 Robyn - Keep This Fire Burning

09 Jessie Ware - Hot N Heavy

Ooooooh I just know that something good is gonna happen 💜

What a lopsided relationship I'm having with Jessie Ware so far as I've now given her two 1st places and two lasts this was a strong round for sure.

These Marina bottom placements are blasphemous.

Hopefully she’ll pick up with some of the more alt-leaning voters putting their ranks in

Then I hope pop girlies show up for Robyn, because let’s be real Robyn >>> Marina, even in this round!!!
