Clinging onto that YTD top 3 for dear life. Definitely thought I’d slipped back to low top 10 after a few fairly lacklustre results.

Would love a unique position (9th is the dream, but realistically 23rd or 25rh would be nice)

My previous best was 22 I think, so hopefully beating that should be doable.

I do feel we were a little short changed in relation to bunker down songs in Dublin versus the other gigs, we had

I think the issue with any network show in the age of 8-10 episode seasons is dragging a storyline out over even half a season just feels SO SLOW. I rewatched Dynasty a few years ago and they had a doppelgänger storyline across 23 episodes (of a 31 episode season) so it’s all relative innit. I also think Scandal (and How To Get Away With Murder and Shondaland in general) helped redefine network TV for the latter half of the last decade as well, so we’ve seen bigger/better/flashier takes on it so many times now the original seems weaker in comparison. The bunker is season 4 I believe, so still a while away. Just wait until the whiplash inducing twists and turns of Season 6/7. You’ve also got to the chance to relive the point at which EVERY. CHARACTER. AND. EVERY. LINE. OF. DIALOGUE. Becomes a grandstanding monologue.

She definitely heard you (and then chose to ignore you haha). I think that was my main takeaway as well, obviously she's a very good singer, but she sounded incredible and was a lot more engaging and fun than I expected.

The picture disc is amazing TAKE MY MONEY

I quite like it, it's not as good as best tracks on A, but it's light and BREEZY and I feel will grow with further listens. It's definitely not a leftover from 2013 though, so hopefully that she's been back in the the studio gives me a little more hope that the rest of the album is going to be more than just tinkering round the edges with some new production.

I’ve toyed with rewatching a few times, I remember Seasons 2 and 3 being amazing. I enjoyed it right through to the end, but it did become absolutely unhinged sometime around Season 5.

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 *.*
