Well it was very much 2 and 2, which is why I said some. I just don't feel that comfortably the second most successful team of the last 15 years coming to take over from Mercedes is some kind of brilliant and worthwhile change. There have been some really good races this year, but overall it's been pretty boring, and even the midfield has now settled to the point that both Alpines and Norris are usually always best of the rest. 7 different podium finishers must be close to being a record low? 17 & 18 were had that too, the same three teams at the top every single race was probably when I paid least attention to the sport.

Just because it's a different team or person, doesn't mean it's any less boring, and it's only gone back to the team who made it boring in some of the seasons before Mercedes domination. However, this seasons title race shouldn't have been like this. The gap to Leclerc should be at least half the size.

All these pop voters and what was easily the best pop song is sat in last! :(

Aww only saved from the bottom 3 by a deduction. Thought it might to a bit better, and Chez and Bre got my hopes up saying it deserved better then gave it one point between them :nocheer: Thanks for hosting, good job. Decent enough top 3, one I liked quite a lot and then the two songs I ranked 10/11.

I have no idea how well my entry will do or what might win. I have a feeling the song I gave 12 points to might do well, but might be setting myself up for disappointment there.

Starlight quite comfortably the weakest of this 10 for me

Terra Avium should be my 18. What were the voters in Semi 1 thinking?! :(

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.
