Human is easily my favourite song that made the top 5, and the other two are both ok but much of a muchness so Kylie this time for me.

Plenty of bands have won over crowds at festivals who weren't there to see them and waiting for the next act, and if you don't just take the money and get out of there, don't look like such morons.

The full length Kolsch remix of Hell To The Liars is absolutely incredible. I do think their music has always been well remixed, and tends to work very well. Not so fussed on this new Baby It's You one though, doesn't really do enough to it to either add to or replace my listening of the original.

My three favourites out in the first half :( Still Call The Shots for me, never thought it was one of their strongest

I really dislike the style of vocals she's gone with on this album, I find it all very irritating. I've played the song with Phoebe a few times but it's not really as good as most of her previous songs.

The first is nice enough but Walking Backwards is much better. I liked his last album a lot tbh. Nothing on the first two but still very good.

Daniel Avery and Conducta the only ones I've liked enough to add to playlists this week, gone with the former.

It's nice to be able to say that I really don't care! :D Possible that a win for any of them will keep them up, they've all been so bad. All have "winnable" games at home but I don't see that as an advantage necessarily. I'm convinced the reason we (Forest) have pulled ourselves out from it is because our fans are still united behind the team, manager and owner and helped drive the team on at home with a brilliant atmosphere. Each of the teams below hates at least one of those.

Have been really busy lately so am relieved the mods have been the same too, delayed start is excellent news for me! :lol: Did think about a late change of entry to something I think will do really well, but there's a chance it'll have been sent anyway, so intrigued to see if it has.

Avril Lavigne by a considerable margin

Blue. Here for a Fatman Scoop top half finish!

How disadvantaged will a song be if it's not on YouTube? It's on all streaming platforms and Bandcamp but no YT video. Not sure how it'd work on listenthroughs etc. without it?

I refuse to watch anything other than the race and qualifying at these types of race, just no interest at all in any of the additional enforced celebrity focussed show.

Great to see a Kathaldazia win, took me a few listens to properly get that one but ended up scoring well with me and well deserved after so many incredible entries in the last two years :wub: Great to see my 18 pointer in the top 5 too ^_^ 38th slightly disappointing for Slow Crush, but 131 points does feel like a very good score for being that low down so I'll take it. I did think I was in a bit more dodgy semi than I'd have ideally liked for it, so not surprised I qualified so narrowly!

Even with a mixed up grid it wasn't the best of entertainment. Max breezing through because no one sees any point losing time defending the inevitable, and most overtakes coming later on as those who'd done the alternative Hard > Medium strategy breezed through on newer, softer compounds.

Voted - not had the chance to listen to do a usual final listen of the best songs to determine the order so had to go from memory to combine my faves from S1 last week and S2 this week. I don't want this host to feel like this is singling out criticism because it's far from an outlier, but huge thumbs down to voting periods that don't last a full week where there is no reminder sent.

The deadline is today? Ah shite.

I cast my postal vote on Tuesday, the least enthused I've ever voted in something. Got a reasonable amount of material through from the two main parties. A lot said about potholes despite voting for councillors on a ward in a district council (no responsibility for roads). The state of the roads in both the County (Conservative run) and neighbouring City (Labour run) is equally abysmal anyway.

Definitely a much stronger week than last week, a few better than George which I voted for, but an easy vote for ConMan and Daniel :wub:

Not really sure about the new Sprint format. I think I preferred it being separated from the main event, and really liked the shortened qualifying with there being cars on the track at all times, but ultimately it's just not set up to be exciting - not much is likely to happen in a race that short when you start in grid order and there's barely any differentiation in strategies.
