Yeah 'Reach' by some considerable distance for me as well, a ray of sunshine

‘Eusexua’ ONE point away from the semis 😱 at least I did all I could. I wasn’t expecting ‘Aquamarine’ to outperform ‘Diet Pepsi’ but not mad about it. Fantastic result for ‘Starburster’!

I think everyone is entitled to vote as they please but it’d be a good idea to move on from continuing to bring up the controversy if the member involved is uncomfortable, especially as they were none the wiser when entering the song. Now here’s to the final 😊 I’m impressed with the calibre of the line-up and can’t wait to find out how voting unfolds over the week. (I really need to sleep… 😅)

Sorry to hear that you feel this way, Rob. There has been unexpected controversy at pretty much every stage so far that’s been a bit of a challenge to navigate, but ultimately, I’ve tried my best to make this edition a safe, fun space. So I wouldn’t want anyone to feel uncomfortable or singled out. I think everyone’s made their points now (not to knock that in general, there’s definitely interesting debates to be had) so hopefully we can collectively move on.

Please take up any coincidences with random.org x I did lose some of my votes but overall this is a such a strong final if I say so myself - watching the recap is a treat for the ears *.*
