Envoirment

She's a US country singer who's been building a nice fanbase - she's been touring non-stop since 2023 and done well with a few singles. Think it's more so due to interest in her new song + country music being bigger in the US (country music in the US is being represented a lot more accurately on streaming services the last few years or so). Would be nice if she could have a hit in the UK!

This is such a good song! The album is going to be so good *_* Hope this can go top 40 at least, if not in its debut week then to climb!

Honestly I think it will depend on the challenges! I could see Kennedy and Shuga killing it as well. Then Dusty will likely be a dark horse. Hershii's drag has come a long way as well. Honestly that could be a really exciting/competitve bracket!

There was nothng lowkey about it, Cucu was robbed!!! 2nd week is a row Cucu has impressed me and I thought she should've been top 2 over Denali! Even Daya could've been top 2 over Denali - I just didn't really like her verse/performance. I thought Acid Betty did better too! I really enjoyed Ginger but to be honest this is the 2nd group challenge in a row and a country themed one at that. Like come on I think the Bracket has great queens but can you do proper solo challenges. I would've loved a pure solo design challenge - Alyssa, Daya & Acid would've killed it. I think if the challenges went something like this then I think there would've been more balance: Design Challenge Roast Acting Ginger would do well at 2/3 still, but honestly people like Denali, Daya & Acid I think could all kill a roast if done well. Then an acting challenge I think could be anyone's game depending on the characters. I feel like the bracket feels lackluster because of the way the production has set up the challenges - it basically feels like the Ginger show and supporting cast. Even the first challenge they added the story bit. Without that Ginger would've sank on the design challenge.

Happy to see a few songs going on ACR which should help make a little room for newer songs to get new peaks. Honestly, I still really like "Pink Pony Club" and it sounds great with this weather so not mad it's on SCR still.

I think it would be fine if it was just 2 if they gave the queens 4 episodes to rack ups wins/points. Would make for a fairly nice 15-16 episode season then (12 weeks of brackets, 2-3 weeks of merge then final). Maybe they are going to do something like a massive lip sync smackdown to decide the final queens for the merge? 12 queens would work quite nicely for that. 6 pairs -> 3 pairs -> top 3 final lip sync (they go through to merge then winner of last lip sync gets cash prize).

Ye things look to be a case of steady Labour government will slowly turn the tide back in their favour with less of a show/big hiccups that reform could latch onto and more positive news. I think as well whenever Kemi is ousted as conservative leader that could see the conservatives start gaining/eating into reform again.

That's true but you could argue that it's because they generate the most tax revenue. It would be interesting to see a map of tax revenue vs expenditure for various areas. Although I do agree with this to an extent to help funnel more investment further north to try and reduce the north/south divide. Particularly as to make areas generate more tax revenue you need to invest first (The SE/London have a rather nice cycle currently of investment/growth - it would be great to see that replicated further north in places such as Newcastle or Leeds).

Really happy to see this voted for - finally a humane choice for those suffering. It will still need to go through the lords and I wouldn't be surprised if it goes back to the commons. But it would be great to finally allow people the right to die without worrying about relatives etc being charged for assisting. It'll also mean people won't have to do things such as travel to Swtizerland.

Ooo that could be quite good. Crystal guarenteed then MVQ points making or breaking the rest due to everyone else spreading out wins. you mentioned 2 are guarenteed to go through and they're doing something else with the 3rd spot or something?

Crystal top 2 for all challenges? *_* Really hope April gets through!

Also to add we don't know what it's been doing elsewhere where it's been remaining strong at #1 (Amazon/Apple). Nice to see "Illegal" going viral. It's remained in the top 100 since debuting at #48 5 weeks ago. Would be great to see it get a new peak somewhere in the top 40!

Some new peaks/re-peaks on Amazon: #4. Ed Sheeran - "Sapphire" (likely benefitting more than most from the weather - sounds great!) #5. Sabrina Carpenter - "Manchild" (+ 2nd version now at #47 too) #18. MK - "Dior (feat. CHRYSTAL) #20. Levi Heron - "The Glen"

I don't think it's that bad! It's just too big of a contrast due to the Bracket 2 drama Honestly if they just had a pure design challenge then Alyssa & Acid betty would likely be in the run for top 2 (+ Daya). The story part of the challenge did feel slightly Ginger-coded. Hopefully things will pick up in the next episode!

Sounds great from the snippet! Surprised she's releasing it so soon with "One Thing" still climbing/doing its thing, but I guess it could even benefit "One Thing" if this went on to become a bigger hit.
