omg for a second I thought I had somehow accidentally accepted hosting the semis again :lol: No idea how people will take to my Ruben recycle but this is a gorgeous song so don't overlook it x

Apparently Daði's performance is filled with references to previous entries including a dolphin referencing Yohanna's performance, circular pianos referencing Romania 2014 and a reference to Iceland 2014 as well.

Yeah I've seen this on Reddit too. The press have apparently taken very well to it and just in the last half hour it's jumped from 5% in the betting odds to 9% Don't want to get ahead of myself but this is definitely exciting news! They've also already revealed that the outfits on the stage will not be the outfits they wear on tuesday as they won't debut until the jury performance.

Apparently Moldova's performance is quite tame compared to the video which is disappointing. I'm wondering if any of these big pop numbers are hiding any elements of their performances for the live performance for maximum shock factor? If not, these pop songs will be quite hard to distinguish between for the audience I fear.

I seem to recall the first time Eleni Foureira started racing up the odds was after the press gave her such rave reviews but I may be wrong.

Press Poll Results for Day 1 + 2: Missing Australia for obvious reasons. But surely that's good news for Ukraine, not quite a death sentence for Malta but not great for Israel/Azerbaijan/Romania. We all know that not all of the female bops will qualify so this could be telling for those three as opposed to Cyprus/Croatia. The massive influx of entries with similar setups (choreo + 4-5 dancers) could spell disaster for all but a handful of them. Surprised they gave Belgium such great reviews, the staging looked so dull from what I saw.

FTFY

Elena was much better live than I was expecting. Could very well be the top female bop this year!

Exciting! I have no ideas what kind of songs or even what time period these songs will be from but I'm excited to follow this!

Which songs from this year's contests have managed to enter your chart and where did they chart? I've had 52 entries from this year enter my chart with one set to chart next week. Nations with the most entries (excluding Mosquetania) are Altyr Muunilinst, Hendinia, Hushkanukia and Lookylion all with 3 (out of 4) entries charting. Notably there will be another entry debuting next week: YDE - "BlindLife" which represented Scherzland in BJSC 131. My chart includes 200 songs each week, and as you can see with the mass of songs from 133 & 134 the quality is absolute there :lol: Asterisk means the song reached a new peak in my most recent chart.

TWO WEEKS IN THE TOP 10 WHAT IS HAPPENING. It's gonna be: 3-4-OUT next week :lol:

I find it hilarious that Ed Sheeran had literally every song on one of his albums chart in the Top 20 but he's still missing that #10 :lol:

This would be a great idea! Maybe it would be smart to include a captcha though or something if possible to avoid SPAM-bots from taking advantage of this

Tbh Cherry should not have been in the bottom two in that episode. She was in no way worse than Ellie for example and Asttina was far and beyond the worst in that challenge lol.

Ohh Plastique! She just missed out in my votes. I quite liked her aesthetic and thought she was an enjoyable queen with more to offer! Also she's cute af out of drag.

Ok I finalised my list just now and AFAIK none of my votes have dropped out. I like Morgan, saw her live once she was great! Aiden was a bit of a rando but kind of enjoyable presence. Felt like a first boot that accidentally got further than intended and I liked her. Cynthia.. just no.

Oop, didn't vote in this but was always just about to :lol: I just couldn't possibly decide which 40 to vote for haha. My biggest loss from that group would probably be Olivia Lux but I admittedly would probably not have voted for any of the queens who missed out had I voted. Ivy Winters is also great. Not fussed about Derrick, never really warmed to him.

If anyone's even remotely curious here is the top 20 (out of the songs in the top 40 here) based on WW Spotify streams: 1 (17) HEAVEN IS A PLACE ON EARTH BELINDA CARLISLE 1 241,653,576 2 (5) I THINK WE'RE ALONE NOW TIFFANY 1 118,158,856 3 (23) TELL IT TO MY HEART TAYLOR DAYNE 3 116,773,405 4 (15) PUSH IT SALT 'N PEPA 2 109,736,793 5 (18) ORINOCO FLOW ENYA 1 107,479,246 6 (10) TEARDROPS WOMACK & WOMACK 3 64,188,595 7 (6) NOTHING'S GONNA CHANGE MY LOVE FOR YOU GLENN MADEIROS 1 59,882,320 8 (8) HE AIN'T HEAVY, HE'S MY BROTHER THE HOLLIES 2 57,632,576 9 (32) SIGN YOUR NAME TERENCE TRENT D'ARBY 2 54,151,870 10 (1) MISTLETOE & WINE CLIFF RICHARD 1 49,889,721 11 (7) GROOVY KIND OF LOVE PHIL COLLINS 1 48,014,599 12 (14) ONE MOMENT IN TIME WHITNEY HOUSTON 1 47,122,160 13 (27) GET OUTTA MY DREAMS, GET INTO MY CAR BILLY OCEAN 3 30,227,395 14 (40) GIRL YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE MILLI VANILLI 3 28,935,153 15 (35) BOYS (SUMMERTIME LOVE) SABRINA 3 28,031,342 16 (13) PERFECT FAIRGROUND ATTRACTION 1 25,928,439 17 (11) THE LOCO-MOTION KYLIE MINOGUE 2 22,780,638 18 (37) YOU CAME KIM WILDE 3 19,550,760 19 (24) CRACKERS INTERNATIONAL ERASURE 2 14,390,775 20 (28) DON’T TURN AROUND ASWAD 1 14,133,716 I didn't include Lovely Day (Sunshine Mix) by Bill Withers here because Spotify combines the plays for the remix and the original but it would be far and beyond at #1 with 315,595,175 plays.

Saw this on Reddit today, suddenly found myself stanning Ms Sudowoodo over here! :lol:

omg even below the season one filter. #dead

Ohh I forgot to mention that, genuinely one of the best finales ever. It didn't hurt that the final scene with Sia's "Breathe Me" is a rollercoaster ride of emotions with what is easily one of her best songs ever and it all just fits so perfectly. I remember being in awe over it at the time and it still holds up so well.

No, they could have made sense but they 100% didn't make sense. Dany going mad was absolutely random. There was absolutely nothing in her character arc that suggested she'd ever be ready to murder innocent people as they were surrendering because of .. bells? The reasoning wasn't there so to the viewer this didn't make any sense at all. Of course they could have bridged the gap, quite easily probably, but they didn't. There was absolutely nothing in the 7 seasons we'd gotten to know her that suggested she'd ever do such a thing and especially at that moment. She didn't even go and make sure she'd kill Cersei who was the MAIN reason why she was there lmao. Bran becoming king didn't make sense. He'd explicitly said in a previous episode he wouldn't want to be king and being the three-eyed raven and all it didn't make sense for him to say that and then become king anyway because he would have seen it coming from miles away. The scene where Tyrion - literally a prisoner at this point - suggests he becomes king because he's got the BEST story is also absolutely nonsensical. Sansa's demand for independence also didn't make sense much like most of her storyline in the last two seasons, including but not limited to her absolutely random hatred and quite stupidly open mistrust of Dany after spending 7 seasons showing us that Sansa is smart and sneaky and willing to pretend she's loyal almost to a fault in order to gain her oppressor's trust. There were so many characters who acted incredibly out of character in seasons 7-8. There were so many scenes that didn't make sense and felt random. I was turned off season 8 way before the finale after the Battle of Winterfell. The bad guy they'd been hyping up for eight goddamn seasons finally arrived, multiple main characters got into scenarios they absolutely should not have survived but plot armour saved them, and then this baddie is killed by Arya - not using any of the techniques she'd spent many seasons mastering as "no one" - but by running up to him screaming (somehow not being stopped by ANY of NK's henchmen who were literally everywhere) and then just randomly killing him. The actual death of the NK would have been so cool if it made any sense but it didn't so it was just infuriating. It's an universally hated season by so much of the fandom because it wasn't in sync with the rest of the show at all. Characters made stupid, out of character decisions. Bad guys became cartoonishly evil for no good reason and had super aim when it suited them. Varys, the master of WHISPERERS, just openly talked about treason to anyone who would lend an ear. Tyrion and Varys, both of whom had promised to follow Dany into death numerous times, flipped on her because - some guy who had absolutely NO interest in being king and pledged absolute loyalty to Dany - happened to also have royal blood and also be a man. I can't even properly express how much this season sucked and how much I hated it but I can promise you it had nothing to do with the outcome and everything to do with the way they got there.

The issue isn’t Bran being king or the ending per se. It’s how they got there and how little sense it made. They could have made him king and done it well but instead it boiled down to “wHo HaS tHe BeSt StOrY 🥴” which was just.. what? None of that final season made sense because none of it was actually set up. Bran becoming king, Arya killing the night king, Dany going crazy. It was all just for shock value instead of actually making a single lick of sense. It was an awful season because it was rushed, poorly written, didn’t make sense and was more about shocking gags than actual quality. D&D were even offered more seasons and more episodes by HBO but didnt want it. No one expected GOT to have a happy ending but we all expected it to make sense, which is where they failed.

Best: The Good Place as you noted was great but I'd add that the Parks & Recreation finale was equally amazing. Such a strong season, they handled the time jump well and the final episode made me cry like a baby. Worst: Game of Thrones, without a doubt. I can't even rewatch the show anymore because they fumbled the ball so bad with the final season. I'd also add that the final season of Glee was pretty bad but they had been going downhill for a while tbh.
