Oh I love the Louisa vocal gymnastics, we don't get enough pure pop songs these days outside of Eurovision with some fabulous ad-libs for the final chorus!

Just over 24 hours left to confirm!

Oh wow that's great! I guess Little Mix's performance will be scrapped now, unless they pre-record it/move it to their only other free date of tomorrow?

Intrigued to see this actually being released with Louisa on equal billing to Olly rather than a feature which makes me presume this is going to be Louisa's summer single rather than her releasing another song in the near future. Great duet anyway, works really well! Sure to be a major radio hit and hopefully this can take off when combining their two fanbases.

The big Louisa note in the latest preview! :heart:

Effortless slayage

I really need it to happen soon as I imagine she will fall down again considerably when she is inevitably out of the Hot New Songs featured section come Friday and that will encourage Capital and Radio 1 less than its current position does!

Are UK radio going to bother with this? I mean it is top 25 on UK iTunes with its only promotion being featured in Hot New Songs and top 45 on Spotify with its only promotion being various playlists. It has had absolutely zero airplay since release except for 2 plays on "Cool FM" and 1 play on Radio 1. If Capital, Radio 1 got on board and it had a 59p boost then it seems like it could be a top 10 contender which I wouldn't have guessed this song could ever be. I really like it but it doesn't scream major hit! In fact looking at the iTunes and Spotify charts, the UK is the country clicking with this most so far and its usually Australia and New Zealand that are ahead of the curve.

oh yes Saara Aalto coming for slayage! :heart:

Agreed with Camila, definitely see her elevating herself to at least a Selena Gomez level of fame! I do think Hailee is another Starving (and a more regular release schedule that doesn't consist of year-long gaps) away from being capable of that sort of level too.

Destiny Chukunyere, although she's actually competing as well! (Camila Cabello as Sam says!)

Jade right for a change :o

DNA should ease through but I imagine it will probably be Kyle and girlband with DNA 3rd if they reveal the positions.

Yeah I'm surprised Destiny has been allowed considering she's won the biggest international children's music competition there is (HYPE FOR JESC!) but I'm relieved! Thankfully Simon's non-awareness of the competition seems to have worked in her favour, although I imagine she was asked to do the show for that very reason.

This is what happened to several of the good acts: https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/36586...-professionals/

This semi-final has been diabolical so far, but thank god for DNA who finally held my attention for an entire performance unlike the others before him.

Not on the same scale of course but it is like Taylor Swift reaching a new level of fame with WANEGBT and then Shake It Off instantly performing when leading the following album.

You can still confirm, and you'll be accepted as long as three others wish to enter too!

I think the first single will do very well, but they will only last past this next album if the songs are very high quality.

I'm confused as to where Olly and Louisa are, why on earth are they releasing on Wednesday of all days without a BGT performance?

I think we all know The Actual Republic of Bellamia have this in the bag :(

You've blown your chance now if no-one else wants to enter!!!

And that's all 28 spaces filled up, thanks guys for your enthusiasm! We'll hope to get this underway tomorrow... NOT REALLY! Additional entries will now be accepted as soon as we have 4 new entrants in order to keep the heats equal. Please continue to confirm as normal and keep an eye on the original post to find out whether you are officially accepted or are waiting for some friends to make you a multiple of 4!

I haven't checked the spreadsheet for a couple of hours!!!11 :heehee:

Italics was to symbolise confirmed countries (hosts) that hadn't actually submitted an entry yet, just so I didn't confuse myself when comparing the spreadsheet and the list in here! :kink:
