Envoirment

Having a nose through NMF UK and also the relevant threads in the genre forums (quite useful!), I've added a few new songs to my 2025 playlist: Cynthia Erivo - "Worst Of Me" (Can't believe this was near the bottom of NMF! Cynthia sounds great on it, her low notes *_* The production is beautiful) Louise - "Borderline" The Amazons - "Night After Night" Ghost - "Lachryma"

Went with "Knock Knock" although it's too short! Needs an extended version.

This was quite difficult, quite a few good tracks! Really enjoy "Night After Night" & "Lachryma" in particular. Went with The Amazons!

Sounds better than "Sorry I'm Here For Someone Else"! And definitely get the "Physical" vibes. Also hear something else but can't quite put my finger on it. Wonder if it official samples anything?

Louise's song is decent, very early 2010s. Not really a big fan of MARINA's after liking her first 2 singles. The rest of the song are just OK, nothing really great from the list.

Paint by numbers country/pop. Although easy radio listening I guess!

Good number of entries so far! I've added to my signature to try to advertise if that's OK! Would be nice to get at least double digits, so many great queens/songs to choose from!

Not Mistress bombing so hard. Hope the tea is wrong and changes again. Her weight loss meaning miss piggy she shall no longer be

Interesting list! Myki Meeks could be a good fit alongside the Dions as I believe she's a Florida girl as well. Perhaps a bit of rivalry between them like Morphine & Mhi'ya.

Nice to see "Angel of Mine" making another appearance in some form or another! Love Monica's version of the song.

The spotify chart is almost giving Amazon a run for its money in staleness Jack Black - "Steve's Lava Chicken" up to #12 on Amazon.

Oo this might be fun, entered!

Honestly I really like Jewels so if she does win the final/lip sync by a mile (ala Sasha Velour) I wouldn't be mad at her winning. In terms of Onya, I think she would be an amazing All Stars candidate. Can you imagine what a powerhouse she will be? Given she's only been doing drag part-time now, she'll likely be able to do it full time and develop herself much more. Including her runway package. I honestly think she'll do a Shea if she doesn't win and come back in a All Stars season set up for her to win potenitally. Or could you imagine Onya & Sapphira coming back to an All Stars and a double crowning of them *_*

I would love another Top 2 lip sync-styled All Stars again. I do wonder though if they will have AS11 as the All Winnters 2? There's definitley been hints at that coming up shortly I think. Perhaps AS12 as then it'll be 5 years since the first one.

Gaga seeing a bit of a boost after her Coachella performance: #8. "Die With A Smile" (+5) #35. "Abracadabra" (+11) #169. "Just Dance" (re-entry)

Mariah having 2 wins yes please *_* Honestly I really hope she properly slays it and wins.

I would think it's pretty safe for a top 40 debut as long as it doesn't drop out of the top 200 tomorrow and never re-appears! Miley debuted lower and had a couple days outside the top 200 to then debut in the top 30 in the charts. Although Miley did slowly climb up/stayed stable on Apple & Amazon throughout the week which likely helped.

Just seen Kendrick released a music video for "Luther". It has over 5 million views so far - doing well! Not sure it'll be enough to boost the song enough to get a reset though. Would love it if the label requested it to be reset and for it to pop back in the top 40. Great to see Miley climbing some more on spotify as well!

Generally a good episode! Although there was no Megami moment. Hormona vs Lydia Little bit underwhelming but Lydia rightfully winning. Joella vs Suzie Suzie did really well! The right winner. Lucky Starzzz vs Acacia Forgot Possibly the best/my favourite lip sync of the episode! They both did so well and Acacia's step by step death drop Lucky did win it out with the basketballs though! I really liked Acacia's reveal as well, partiuclarly the wig reveal she did - so good! Arrietty vs Kori I honestly thought Arietty won this, she surprised me! Would've been interesting to see Arrietty go through over Kori. Not that Kori did badly. Crystal Envy vs Lana Ja'Rae A really good lip sync! I thought Crystal did better in the first half and Lana in the second half. Honestly a case for either of them winning this. Lucky Starzzz vs Suzie Toot Suzie rightfully winning, she did really good. Honestly Lucky could've won this if she had paced herself better and built up her reveals/dancing. She popped those basketballs out almost instantly and lost the lip sync at that point! Lana vs Kori vs Lydia Kori rightfully winning this! Pretty much moving on beat the entire performance, loved it! Lana did well and thought Lydia was just OK. Kori vs Suzie I wish there was a costume change to allow Kori to get her Kort Toot outfit on. But Suzie killed this. Her lip sync was on point (a few times I noticed Kori missing words here or there), the dance moves etc. Just great. I bet she felt so good beating Kori in particular as well Suzie had such great facial expressions throughout her lip syncs! Looking forward to next week's final now.

He's now backtracking/crumbling. He's made smartphones and computers exempt from tariffs as otherwise they would skyrocket in price given most are made in China!

Definitely, but Liam has somewhat of a point (broken clock right twice a day type of thing). With the high tariffs on China from the US, they may flood the market causing many sorts of goods to become cheaper in other markets. Steel is a prime example as China have been flooding the european market (+ others) over the last few years causing a lot of difficulty for european steel makers. The only way to combat that would be to make the Chinese imports more expensie via tactical tariffs (I believe there are already some steel tariffs against China). Nationalisation makes sense as if the government let it go under it would make the UK unable to make virgin/new steel. Also the site is currently owned by a chinese firm which makes the situation all the more ironic I guess.

Coming much sooner than I thought!!! Super excited! Or maybe my perception of time is warped as I just looked at AS9 premiered in May last year - feels like only yesterday! The season is going to be interesting!

Ye, I just hope that whoever wins doesn't get cast in All Winners 2 which will likely happen in the next couple years or even be AS11.

Just make it display Benson anytime someone types your name

As they say, don't reinvent the wheel!
