Less than 4 hours left to vote, remember everyone who has participated at any stage of this BJFest are encouraged to vote!

I don't like the album but music quality aside, she was way for three whole years ignoring Rise and came back perfectly with Chained To The Rhythm. But then it feels like she just suddenly pushed two singles and a whole album out all at once. I know that wasn't quite the case but how on earth did it all feel so rushed in the end when she had a whole three years off? While the music is of course a major factor, her label really should've have left the album until August. A new Katy album, arguably the world's biggest popstar during her last era, after three years away should have felt like a major occasion but it just didn't. Even Chained To The Rhythm which did very well and was very good still didn't feel like a momentous occasion that it should've been. I'd agree with Joe that Rise could have ruined a bit of suspense but at the same time I feel like everyone forgot that after a couple of weeks anyway. I'd just file Rise under the same category as Sweeter Than Fiction was for Taylor in between two massive eras in Red and 1989, the equivalent of a soundtrack single.

I think it's very premature for calling this series a write-off and not worth watching, up until two days ago I think it was widely agreed it was off to a great start entertainment-wise? I don't think two episodes, widely influenced by the VIPs who have left, mean that is going to become the norm. That said, so glad Charlotte stayed but was bittersweet to lose Sukhvinder. Hopefully the fact the VIPs have left and we are down to just 12 will allow the outsiders - Raph, Charlotte, Chanelle, Hannah, Deborah - to get some more airtime but I do think they need to add someone to their group. I imagine some new HMs will come in now we've lost two unexpectedly.

We all suspected it after it was pushed on album release week, but Dua has now confirmed she's filmed the music video for New Rules on Twitter and says it is the best music video she's ever done!

183. Jax Jones - Instruction (feat. Demi Lovato & Stefflon Don)

My only reservation success-wise is that I fear that the tone of the lyrics makes it inaccessible to some, the "all my ladies", "bitch", "Diana Ross" type of thing. If we look back over the last year or so, every #1 is a song you can imagine appealing to a male audience or is by an artist with a very active hardcore fanbase. I think those lyrics may restrict its appeal to a male audience and will make it a low top 10 contender rather than a top 3 contender. I prepare to be proven wrong though!

Really love this apart from the Chainsmokers-esque post-chorus (do we call it future bass?), ruins the gorgeousness of the verses and pre-chorus. I'm sure it'll grow!

The full thing is out there, LOVE IT :heart: Thankfully Stefflon's contribution is limited to only 20 seconds but to be fair I quite like her little verse! Demi still provides us some little ad libs at the end which we all love her to do. This could be a massive hit, I have a gut feeling it could become Demi's biggest selling UK hit (which is apparently 'Up' at 600k+ I believe). This song is so much more instant that You Don't Know Me which took ages to grow on me. I don't blame Jax for getting a big name on this single, it's one way of ensuring he doesn't become a one-hit wonder (or two if we are including I Got U). Sigma used exactly the same idea with Nobody To Love into Changing.

This is Just For One Night featuring Astrid S of BJSC fame!

Ooh this sounds potentially massive :o

VOTE CHARLOTTE!

Ellie is so desperately hanging around with the 3 lads "omg thank you for the cigarette kieran"

Charlotte reminds me of Ashleigh too, I hope we don't lose her too early! :( It's promising she's had more airtime than Kayleigh again today and Rebecca will surely struggle for votes too so hopefully there's some sort of Charlotte fanbase out there for her.

Demi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vote to save 1. Raph 2. Sukhvinder 3. Imran 4. Rebecca 5. Kayleigh 6. Charlotte - evicted Vote to evict 1. Sukhvinder - evicted 2. Kayleigh 3. Imran 4. Rebecca 5. Raph 6. Charlotte SAVE CHARLOTTE!!!!!

I was hoping this would be the "This Is Real" song with Selena that was teased a while back :( Although a Demi involvement would make up for that of course, but I think that vocal could be loads of people and is probably just Stefflon anyway :magic:

Oh and this rated VERY well for an ITV summer weekend primetime show, around 4.2 million viewers. According to Digital Spy, if they can keep this up it will be ITV's biggest summer hit in quite a while which will be quite the surprise to many I imagine. I struggle to even remember what ITV have been showing in previous summers but I remember Primeval a few years ago dropped down to 1-2 million by the end of its run I think!

http://digitalspyuk.cdnds.net/17/23/980x490/landscape-1496827237-the-voice-kids-18.jpg While I do love a bit of Junior Eurovision, realistically I didn't think I'd be able to get on board with this especially as I didn't bother with the adult version for the first time earlier this year. However I gave it a go and was really pleasantly surprised! Danny, Pixie and Will are an absolutely fantastic judging line-up, perfect perfect choices. I think one of my criticisms of the adult version is that the auditions seem to drag as coaches endlessly pitch for each singer. The fact that there is only three of them immediately reduced this, and the whole show felt well paced. I have always been intrigued about a UK version of The Voice Kids, I know Lena (Eurovision 2010) has coached on Germany's version and quite a few Junior Eurovision contestants in recent years have come from the brand particularly in Australia. Looking forward to seeing Zena Donnelly who represented Ireland in Junior Eurovision last year, as she is due in a future episode!

Alex & Sierra are amazing I agree! :( I definitely think they could've had a couple of minor hits with Scarecrow and Little Do You Know, especially the latter with an X Factor performance.

Turns out it is this, Annie has like 3.1 million Instagram followers somehow so this is just purely social media promo I imagine. Q7HgEjc_lXI

38. Annie LeBlanc & Hayden Summerall - Little Do You Know This is a cover of the amazing Alex & Sierra single from a few years ago, how is it top 40 on UK iTunes? :o 4bzIpYiPUUo

Olly and Louisa only #40? http://68.media.tumblr.com/3504c865b6c4456a09646beca30338de/tumblr_inline_ojhxu4GS5Y1t8lmg2_500.gif

There are 12 songs in that opening post, literally just rank them from 1st to 12th in terms of how much you like them! Ignore all the duels and stuff, that's just for transparency as to how it'll work when the results happen. But all you need to do is rank those 12 songs from 1st to 12th. :D
