Chez Wombat

I'll be on my own for some time, but Lovegame is really not a highlight at all from early Gaga.

I do really like Try Again, but Oh My God is a classic from the landfill indie era which I have fond memories of.

Best Adele - Rolling In The Deep JAY-Z - Empire State Of Mind (feat. Alicia Keys) Katy Perry - Teenage Dream Lady Gaga - Born This Way Owl City - Fireflies Worst Beyoncé - Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It) Rihanna - S&M Remix (feat. Britney Spears) Usher - OMG (feat. will.i.am) I've got a nostalgic soft spot for most of these, but that S&M remix was particularly woeful

Except she's not innocent, you may be utterly convinced she is based on evidence not proven in a court of law, but legally at this point in time, she is not. And her conviction wasn't the end of it - the lack of response to concerns raised about her is indicative of manslaughter, the families deserve to know this and those shameful figures brought to light.

I heard The Person You'd Like to Be on the radio this morning and, to steal the DJ's words, it's like a more ominous of Baz Luhrrman's Everybodys Free. I've enjoyed what I know of him, but this instantly stood out as something special.

Sounds a bit more of a chilled, R'n'B style than usual for them, I like it on first listen, got a great vibe and I can definitely see it being a grower, love the constant switches in production.

Best Coldplay - Viva La Vida Daniel Powter - Bad Day Justin Timberlake - SexyBack (feat. Timbaland) Nelly Furtado - Say It Right Shakira - Hips Don't Lie (feat. Wyclef Jean) Worst Chris Brown - Kiss Kiss (feat. T-Pain) Sean Kingston - Beautiful Girls Taylor Hicks - Do I Make You Proud

B.o.B - Airplanes (feat. Hayley Williams) Kanye West - Heartless Lady Gaga - Bad Romance

That Natasha Bedingfield ATROCITY can get in the bin, one of the most embarassing songs I've ever heard x

I don't love this immediately, the chorus doesn't quite hit as hard as it could, but it is an impressively adventurous entry from us and a nice break from the boring Radio 2 fodder we normally go for (including last year hoping for an established artist to cancel that out). As always, hard to tell how well it will do, but some promotion, a memorable, striking yet also endearing staging (again we didn't get this right last year) and good vocals on the night, then I'd hope this will at least capture more of the juries attention.

Congrats Klumzee on the long-awaited win! Smashing my record if I ever did hold it but doesn't it feel good, just need poor Seyetana to win now x I voted for all the top 5, one of which was my silver medal, so I'm very pleased with that top 10, and good to see my 18 made the top 20, that slow build was everything x I would've liked Singerpurear a bit higher though, my favourite entry from them in a long time. I will take 21st considering it was looking like lower at one point, the mention of top 10 in Predictions did get my hopes up but looking at the semi results, I was on the lucky side this time so that's a relief! Thanks for all who voted, have a bit of a banger lined up next so hopefully can follow up this minor success x Thanks for hosting Cody and echoing the great job at navigating our brave new (Buzzjack) world x

Grr, I should really not look at the predictions thread x (but grateful for the votes so far ofc.) Both of that top 2 would be great winners and long awaited first wins at that!

The Substance being below Madame Web makes me die a little inside x Great result for that one though, it's a shame Demi didn't get her long-awaited Oscar but the fact a film like that was in serious awards contention is still wonderful. Heretic was a real surprise, but Hugh Grant was just a bit too convincing and I really loved the psychological route it went down with it's scares.

Wow, 2 18s and only low points otherwise, but I'm very grateful for that! Bronzil would be a wonderful winner if it were to hold.

That's a way to get off 0 *.
