We have had majority approval on the entry list...so stay tuned, the party will open this afternoon.

They're just checking bags on the door currently and making sure nobody brings in any security risks that could spoil the party.

Probably Chicane too.

Oh, great track, my favourite he's done actually. The bridge is brilliant.

Ditto, this was a weird choice of cover although I think its release at all might be due to label politics that it happened. Miracle was on Data (Ministry of Sound), while the album and other singles were on AATW, so AATW needed a guaranteed hit follow up to Everytime We Touch but it wasn't up to them to release Miracle, so instead we got this cover (back in the days when covers were considered safe hits) and Data put Miracle out in the spring. I'd have gone for Bad Boy as the follow up to Everytime We Touch instead personally. Then again, Truly Madly Deeply ended up doing really well for them, so what do I know.

Make that 31 as a wild RobBot appeared. Will send the mods the final list in a bit when I get onto my laptop.

That’s a wrap, 30 of you have sent RSVPs to my invites and we will get the party started shortly after I send the mods the final list in the morning and they give it the seal of approval.

And with that we've cracked 30, which is a new Bop Idol record I believe, so thank you all for joining me. I will leave it open for another 23 minutes as promised but not expecting any more...

Loved Dance Wiv Me and bought it at the time, it was the first Dizzee single I really enjoyed a lot and the start of his imperial phase (loved Bonkers too and subsequently bought the album). I did enjoy Calvin from the word go though as bought the brilliant Acceptable In The 80s. I miss his nerdy and fun early phase a lot. Singin' In The Rain was fun and cool that it got to No.1, Mint Royale used to be an avid chart follower on social media so must have been elated.

Intriguing, submitted guesses but think I'll be a mile off. Also confirmed my song for round two.

I'm also so grateful that A*Teens were placed in the first heat so they could get that amazing comeback story of a No.1 single before the bigger hitters came through. In previous years where all the finalists went on streaming at the same time that never would have happened either so the timing all fell into place for them. As always I'm in awe of how big a deal it is in Sweden - 10 of the current Spotify top 12. But this is shaping up to be a strong year already - I can tell already that Iconic and My System will be among my top songs of this year (loving the Klara song too) and we still have three semis to come with some great names and a lot of promise. I think Melodifestivalen this year more than ever is a bit of solace for me in this chaotic and sad year for Eurovision as a whole and I will be sad when it's over as it continues to bring such joy and so much great pop. I haven't even started to listen to the entries confirmed for Eurovision so far, and unlike other years I'm not going to be devastated if my favourite songs don't make it out of their national finals (at least they can avoid the sh*tshow that is bound to be).

Certainly feels like hers to lose. That is KAJ style public appeal. It’s a great song and the staging is so good.

Fitting that the recipient of my 18 points is hosting <3 A Dalisska contest is very long overdue, to put it lightly.

Great! Last day to confirm today for any stragglers. Up to 28 now.

Agree with this bottom two, both the clear weakest for me. One Day At A Time is such a dirge. Dr Hook has better songs I agree.

Have gone for Vik’s Rawcore with Double Clover a close second. Party Cells sounds fun, not into Long For sadly.

Corrs - a very underrated single that should have been a top five although I was glad to see it go mildly viral last year, it was used on TikTok a lot. The Eminem song is strong but not a fave of mine from him.

Keep them coming please today and tomorrow! Tell your friends not to miss the party. Happy to welcome any more entries up to the end of tomorrow. There are some great songs confirmed so don’t miss out!

Excruciating! Simon and Miquita were able to carry off this piss-taking with a poker face in a way no other presenters after they left ever did (even though they tried).

It was a print interview that I can't find atm but I love thinking back to one in Smash Hits in 2000 when Samantha Mumba was asked about her website and she replied something like "Oh, I'm really getting into the internet at the minute" 😂

Glad Felicia won the heat over the firemen, as catchy as that was. My System is the best song I've heard from Felicia's new solo venture for sure. Quite gutted for Klara as it deserved better than fifth, that's for sure, hope it becomes a big hit in Sweden. Not sure Robin deserved that second chance slot really, bit of a mid song, my least favourite in the heat probably.
