As others have said, can you please stop speculation about XVII entries until at least halfway through the final week! :rolleyes: You've got over a month, possibly two, until you confirm...

it is quite Sharleen actually, now you mention it :o maybe that's why I like it ^_^

Maybe why Simon sent it too. ^_^ I might have to check out the album.

indeed, he's an even bigger Texas/Sharleen fan than me, and I'm one of their biggest fans :heehee:

That's only because they have about 4 fans in total :kink:

Oi! I'm a fan too (a closet one). Sharleen's solo album was fantastic but IMHO Texas really lost it after the Greatest Hits...

I don't think they lost it as such, just became less popular with each album, like most bands end up doing eventually

 

I think Red Book and Careful What You Wish For were better albums than The Hush, even if neither matched White On Blonde

 

Carnival Girl (2003) and Sleep (2006) were both excellent singles :wub:

I hated Carnival Girl :puke2: TBH I don't remember Sleep :unsure:

it was the one with Peter Kay in the video, had quite a bit of airplay at the time

As before, I think Frahliso, Skall or PRJ might be ones to watch in semi 1.

 

Semi 2 is quiet an interesting one to predict. You've got some of the Poppiest entries by Kristinia, Ashley Tisdale, Jessie Malakouti and Kate Voegele but you've got some quite alternative entries from Animal Collective, Marina, Bat for Lashes, HIM. I wasn't sure whether to put Utopia or FSR Farahtyn through. I think those will be the ones of from each end of the scale that have potential to be the 14th place song. But maybe Eledan will take the place from both. I wouldn't rule out Angelicland or Rivandia either. Basically I have no idea for semi 2.

Angelicland have more chance of qualifying than at least 5 or 6 of those you've bolded in my opinion :o great song and with some very vocal support in the last day or two

I have a feeling FSR Farahtyn will qualify!

I suppose, I just thought that it seemed to be the weaker of the RedOne songs. But I believe Addy likes it and it being a RedOne production probably puts it in favour with JRK-Off and MKL. They're a bit N-Dubz as well, might appeal to Kath...I might edit it now.

I guess last month we had the Jada RedOne song that DNQ'd but I think that this is a lot better, it's already been a hit in a few countries :o

I guess I don't really see a big market for it in this semi. It's mostly pure Pop or, on the other side, quite alternative stuff with the odd dud.

Angelicland have a good song! It's typical BJSC, and I expect it to qualify, though I think all of RedOne's songs sound like Lady GaGa! (This one sounds like a cheap rip off of Poker Face!)

but is it Poker Face a RedOne production????...I never heard a word "RedOne" in the beggining of Poker Face

could be a good thing though if it makes it stand out more

yes it is! I guess he doesn't get the artist to say his name in every song :heehee:
