Oh my it's happened!!! ❤️ Thank you everyone who voted for Falling For You and has congratulated me! I LOVE LOVE this song so much so I'm very glad it's a song I'm really behind that's finally done it! I've been competing in this contest for 14 years now which is literally half my lifetime so feels quite surreal to get a win in this contest that has provided so much entertainment, community and great music over those years! Guess I can't be the bridesmaid anymore 😄 Also special thanks to Lewis who did introduce me to this song (albeit just after one play) and thought it could be something that worked well for the contest, he is a good egg ❤️ Regarding Rose Grey-gate (LOL). It was only after confirmations closed and repeated listens that the voice was getting more and more familiar so I did twig that it could well have been Rose a few weeks ago. I do think the success of the songwriting is down to her (it really is a big pop song masquerading as a dance song) but don't think it's affected how known the song is coming into the song contest, nor was there any hype for it upon initial entry. I really thought that Bronzil were gonna sweep this, what a perfect cross-over song! I had heard it about this time last year but didn't pay it enough attention. I'm sure a win is on the horizon for them. Also big love to Aeroche too with another great entry, Marie Davidson is a queen 🤩 I'm intending on taking up hosting next month as I loved it when I did it before (now 10 years ago )! Not sure how it'll turn out but I'll figure it out haha.
