Yes, it’s such a beautiful song. Made even better by KT on the piano. I really like her song Clueless from the musical of the same name, which she wrote the music for, tempted to see that show mainly for the songs. It’s very classic KT, with a 00s pop sound.

Glad you got to see her, I love Llangollen, what a great setting for that. She’s so great, she also played that title track in London last month at her Royal Albert Hall show. Apparently it’s coming out as part of an anniversary edition of the album to be released in October with a couple of other unreleased tracks. It’s a really beautiful song, I’m so glad she finished it. She played an absolutely insane gig on her 50th birthday - probably the best gig I’ve seen in years. I have a newfound appreciation for a few of the songs on the debut album I never loved as much as the rest of the album back in the day, like Silent Sea (always liked it but it was a clear highlight live and I’ve had it on non stop since) and Stoppin’ The Love. Heal Away was also gorgeous but I’ve always loved that. It reaffirmed the album as one of my all-time favourites. She brought on Melanie C, Jools Holland, Rick Astley, Natalie Imbruglia and Jools Holland during that evening to perform with her too, it was mad.

Voted. I like seven songs here so did have to make one sad cut, but left with a top six I really enjoy, hope lots of them are among the last finalists.

Can we get a Golden Wagner for this though? Or as Melodifestivalen like to call it, a 'Sofia - Alla' wildcard through to the final? The fact this didn't go further due to a dire draw is criminal.

Probably Snow Patrol - I like all four of these (but love Nelly and Beyoncé).

Work It Out again.

Ronan and LeAnn, I like the Friday Hill song!

Voted, really enjoyed the listenthrough and hearing what the judges had to say. Thanks for hosting a great show Julian! Very varied in the end, and some inspired picks.

Also going for the man with two first names.

1. Sarah McLachlan - Better Broken 2. Grace Davies - Super Love Me 3. PinkPantheress - Illegal 4. KT Tunstall - Eye To The Telescope 5. Ed Sheeran - Sapphire 6. Deep Obsession - One & Only (Brian Rawling Remix) 7. Zara Larsson - Midnight Sun 8. Blusher - LAST MAN STANDING 9. Hudson Mohawke x Andrew Lloyd Webber - The Race (Hudson Mohawke Rework) 10. Tjuvjakt & Fanny Avonne - Tusen spänn 11. Lola Young - Not Like That Anymore 12. Peggy Gou - D.A.N.C.E 13. MK feat Chrystal - Dior 14. KAJ - Bara Bada Bastu 15. Alan Walker - Me, Myself and The Night 16. Girls Aloud - Whole Lotta History (Live) 17. Jessica Winter - Aftersun 18. Lotta Engberg and Triple & Touch - 100% 19. KT Tunstall - Silent Sea 20. Sabrina Carpenter - Manchild

It's the grand dame. The Mandy cover was a stain on modern music.

Oops, although I didn’t expect to Q. It was a bit of a curio. A HudMo remix of a piece from Starlight Express but at least it got the legendary Andrew Lloyd Webber into BJSC. Thank you to the voters! Congrats blacksquare and Cody, both great tracks - some good songs through in the second chance too! Thanks for hosting this one Rob!

Pleased for Hendinia but ouch at Skall - loved that. Last?

Wow, I thought Dolly Style would have been top five!

Taste! Love the two qualifiers, probably my two favourites overall.

Shocked for Taahino, thought it would be top five - a big pop song! Molly last also surprising considering her BJSC past form.

Hoping to be able to as well. Or at least part of it.

Hoping to see Skall, Hendinia and Altyr go further! Very POP semi though so can’t be sure for Skall - hope it didn’t fly under the radar.

Rooting for Cheiron to progress! Although lots of other good stuff here too.

Love all of the predicted top four, this was a great heat! Terra or Azorska to squeak the final spot please.

Predicting direct to final for Bøtanikkä and Neliönoir with Cor Lupus also in the mix should one of those not get it. Ajanaeda And Herbilore for the other two second chances maybe but I don’t really know.

Poor Dimitrov, he was playing great and it was so sad to see him have to retire, crazy that this has happened five slams in a row. I did wonder if Sinner might have won it in five but Dimitrov deserved the chance to try and play it out, gutting injury. I saw most of Djokovic's match earlier and he did well to turn it around after a poor first set as de Minaur was playing pretty well.

Thanks for sharing, it looks like a really well put together and interesting watch, I will be sure to bookmark this to watch properly as I don't know a huge amount about their post-2001 career apart from the odd song.

I'm also out tomorrow but I've listened through once and plan to listen again before voting. I enjoyed a lot of these.

Voting Mariah as it's been in before, it's the middle of summer, and I enjoy the other four too.
