From Amazon, seems this might just be a re-release of A with a previously unrealised track tacked on. Truly the queen of doing literally the least amount possible *.*

I’m always up for new Agnetha music, even if the decline in her voice from 2013 to 2017-2020 when Voyage was recorded was significant. From what I’ve seen (and the social media promo) a musical theatre/covers album seems reasonably likely? (“Where do we go from here” being the opening line from You Must Love Me) and would probably be a decent seller over Christmas, insofar as albums still sell. As long as G**y B****w isn’t within a thousand nautical miles, I’ll be happy.

Hearing THAT song live, in full, would be incredible. Fingers crossed she does it again in Dublin next week!

I voted, a bit of a struggle near the end, but a brilliant top 5.

Loving the support for it, easily her best song since Sitting On Top Of The World for me.

I had tickets, but I'm not devastated about it as I was mainly going because it was cheap. She does seem to have some other London based gigs lined up though. I really like HER, she has such a great personality, and has weathered the post-Eurovision storm brilliantly, so hopefully it works out for her.

I ordered Mistaken Identity, can't justify both (at that cost) so went with the better album *.*

It’s never appropriate to listen to that song, unless you’re trying to devise new forms of torture.

Nobody Knows Me is easily my favourite song on the album, shame to see it so low.

It’s definitely the latter for me. I’ve not sent a song I don’t at least really like in a long time, but do sometimes still second guess myself on which will do better . It’s odd, in 2020/2022 I got it right nearly every time and I’m 2021/2023 I’ve got it wrong nearly every time. Qween of biennial good judgement *.*

This is how I ended up winning with Nova Millar *.* FARC confirmed, changed entry, the wonderful Bre updated me accordingly and the rest is history.

In a further update to my previous update in 2021, I’ve not had any entries “stolen”, however I’ve “missed out” on numerous songs through making the wrong decision, Dotter last month, Robin Packalen (Hard to Love), Nono (Lovesick), Honey. and many many more I can’t recall right now. I don’t imagine such a thing is an OFFICIAL STAT, but surely I’m the most vetoed nation in BJSC history at this stage too.

Looks like we have good company in the cheap seats *.*

Confirmed *.*

Love Machine (10) > Long Hot Summer (8) > Life Got Cold (7)

I love the album. Give It Up For Love is glorious and definitely getting the William Orbit vibes (especially the outro), which is about as high as praise for a song can get. Mountain Song, The Dream and So What are also really good.

2 genuinely fantastic songs out there (including one of my 11's). Those first few albums are almost wall to wall brilliance.

Surely Eline is through at the very least for Patrick

Come on Cornelia! 2/5 would be a lot better than 1/5.

Oh wow, I did not expect Nessa to be out before Angele! I know pop doesn’t do as well in TBO but y’all need some damn hearing aids/a recalibration of your musical barometers STAT

Thinking Cornelia might be my best bet here, though hoping for Nessa too as it’s by far my favourite winner (to date).

4/5 of which are amazing and should be through. Going to guess Leony is 21st or 22nd.

Ahh the first one out, I did think ALMA would be a little closer to making it than that. Hoping for Leony to come through soon!

I've found my next mid-table finisher *.*

None of those are really that surprising, thought Mother and Father always feels like it’s given a slightly unfair review due to the rap.
