This is, quite comfortably, the least I've enjoyed a set of songs in a final for a hell of a long time. :( Judging from the draw and peoples comments I was hopeful that Semi 1 would be able to bulk out my votes to make 15 songs I quite liked, but honestly the qualifiers from that are even worse than mine which I was far from impressed with. Songs of the quality I'd normally discount before a final listen through of my favourite 20 or so are in contention for up to about 7 points here

Been bad at actually buying music I like recently :| But bought this today when I saw how close it was. For me, best number one for nearly 10 years

Scott Parker is another poor manager who's got the jobs he has because of his name. He was heavily backed in January to complete a job that any half competent manager shouldn't have needed. Nothing is ever his fault, and to come out after a 9-0 loss and say that it probably won't be the worst day of the season is truly awful management. I don't find it unsurprising in the slightest, but it's a shame as Forest play them on Saturday! Everyone's spent all summer talking about how much Forest have spent, but the money spent on our squad is about £5m more than Bournemouth's. Parker, and come commentators, go on like it's on some kind of Derby 07/08 level. It probably is the weakest squad in the division, but it's not so bad to just give up completely straight away.

Ferrari pitting Leclerc for fastest lap, not getting it and then receiving a penalty to drop him back a position pretty much sums up their season, quite funny.

Only participating in 6 of these many were discoveries. Could be going better with 5 of my 10 votes and my own winner already out, though Excision and the Bloody Beetroots the two which I genuinely disliked so pleased they're both bottom half too.

Will add to this being a disappointment. Poor Let It Happen Me nominating songs that haven't before not really working, Stillbirth is the 2nd which only I have voted for!

Well that's a thoroughly depressing read.

BOTA is my favourite song to reach the top 40 this year by a hell of a long way. Hoping it can become the first number one I've truly enjoyed since Blinding Lights :wub:

Oh I haven't flopped that hard in a long time :( I didn't expect to qualify from that semi but shame to see such little love for Sinead

aesthetica and st. burbia are comfortably my pop entries of choice! tbh i thought most of the pop songs were average-to-poor and most of the non-pop songs were average-to-poor, a real stretch to find 10 I wanted to vote for, for the first time in quite some time

Kath's tactic to get everyone based in the UK to stream it more!

They've got this wrong somewhere. It mentions 3 formats selling 20k+ but says one downloads were 15,769 I find it so hard to get remotely excited about any kind of return after 2018.

Their improvement over the years has come from making big sales which allow for greater spending and continued increases in the wage bill. This is the second consecutive summer without a significant sale, and he spent £50m on 4 players last summer, only one of which even made the bench yesterday. They have been abysmal for a long time

I do think this album is better than their first. I enjoyed most of the early singles but On & On and now Solar System were released since the last post in here and are my favourites YVuM7cmpJRo rEbdvw4JMck

absolutely no idea how my entry will do, not the worst semi for it i guess. DANCE *.*

All the fantastic indie that people had to choose from and we get THREE Hard-Fi songs?!

Well that was a pretty dreadful set of results. So much that I voted for seemed to take massive tumbles - Jessie :( Woodkid :( Grimes :( Royksopp :cry: Only All Too Well reversed the trend, which was probably to be expected - it went from 16 points to 28 in my own votes

Well changing all of my nominations sort of worked, at least with Bros I managed to have one that didn't entirely flop. Overall decent changes to new qualifiers, semis and finalists
