I love Shoo Bee Doo so much! I love Pretender too. LAV and Material Girl are just mainstream choices.

For me, absolutely not. I like it, I appreciate it, but it's wouldn't be in my top 50 M songs.

Some of these comments are killing me: 'Olly did a decent job vocally' or 'It was a great song' - neither are true. It was the worst vocal of the night. This lame argument that the UK are somehow building towards something is ridic and laughable. Eurovision is boom or bust. You can have a country who are in the top 3 one year, and if they get it wrong the next, they can be in the bottom 5. Send a lame act with a poor vocal and generic song, with self-indulgent staging and your song will not land, nor resonate, and will get ZERO points from the public. It's not rocket science. Olly was awful. We need a 'UK decides' public vote - after all, we can't be any worse than what they've come up with.

Oh dear. I'm late to the party, and I want to bring positivity but UK 2024's effort with Olly Alexander is just dreadful. 27 years now without a win - something isn't working. Staging - 1/10 - it would look great in a pop video, but on the vast Eurovision stage, it feels odd, lost and very self indulgent. Vocals - 2/10 - Based on Tuesday, Olly can't sing live - and was possibly the weakest vocalist on both nights. Blame the tech but a true artist would overcome this. Song - 3/10 - formulaic rubbish - it's just not good enough - not even close. Performance 3/10 - generic and forgettable - look at some of the favourites, UK just gets lost. Prediction - bottom 5 Somebody just said: ' That said I still think we’ve taken a step forward in the last 3 years'. I totally disagree. Sam Ryder was a beautiful fluke. Last year was an abomination, and this years effort is almost as formulaic and beige. We got the same results (hit and miss) when the public decided. Ultimately, its the public who decide and so it shouldn't be left to a few execs to keep choosing the wrong acts. Having acts who are no longer having big hits / number ones perform for the UK isn't working. Olly Alexander was totally the wrong choice. Maybe we should just put Sam Ryder up every year!

I bloody love this track, and for me it's her best lead single since Hung Up...... The video however doesn't work for me.

I really appreciate LAP the song, but I've never loved it. It wouldn't be in my top 50 fav M songs, and I really don't know why.... I do love how much critical acclaim the track gets, critics often cite it as her best song, but for me, it's not even close. Still, the album is a total banger from start to finish, and I still listen to it now.

Amongst the usual fawning, it's getting some stinkingly Mixed to BAD reviews: From NME: Arriving at the peak of her imperial phase, Swift’s 11th studio album is surprisingly flat and, at times, cringeworthy. A rare mistep. The Standard: Taylor Swift - The Tortured Poets Department album review: underwhelming and clunky So whilst I think it'll do big numbers initially, the backlash has truly begun, and the wheels may just start falling off this pop juggernaut. Being vicious about numerous exes may just have run it's course. We'll see. I think it'll do 110, 000 in the UK first week then drop.

Rolling Stone Polls are always off.... The top 3 for me are: 1 TRUE BLUE - not just M's greatest album cover, but also the most iconic album cover of all time by any artist! 2. LIKE A VIRGIN 3. MADONNA - The original cover When I think about it, her earliest 3 studio albums were by far the best. The later ones have been really, really subpar!

This is amazing. I had such low hopes for the tour and predicted she'd burn out as I didn't think she was match-fit or well enough. I'm so happy to have been proven wrong. I saw her in October, and it was joyous and one of my best ever concerts. Madonna has proven so many people wrong by showing up and doing what she does better than anyone else.

I voted a categorical NO..... I'd hate it. They're such different performers, and after K's forgettable collab with Sia, I don't think she's worthy, sorry!

It's super disappointing; the gay community needs it allies, and nobody has been a greater ally than M. He should save his vitriol for Trump, Putin etc. The long and short of it is that Ru has a book to sell and dropping the M-name is to try and generate some interest. It's lame, bitchy and super telling. I've lost respect for Ru here. I have NYC friends who knew the real Ru back in the day, and they paint a very different picture to the Ru we all know today.......... I wonder what Michelle Visgae thinks of this?

I don't hate it. The production is decent, there's a good tune in there (although hugely unoriginal). My issue is Olly, he's like marmite - people either respond to him or he turns them off. I hope it does well, but I don't think it'll win or come close. Still, anything is better than last year's total car crash!
