Scream If You Wanna Go Faster. I don't mind a bit of Geri and I owned her first two albums growing up, but this just falls a bit flat for me.

We say this every round but this is a really strong list of songs. This will be tough.

Hoobastank quite easily.

I’ll try and do mine over the next day or two.

I might be out on my own but I’m not feeling this new song sadly. I wish her well and it’s great she’s making the music she wants but sadly most of it hasn’t struck a chord with me yet. I will always give her a chance though.

I'm Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance with You

Fantasy for me, though it’s getting even tougher now.

Stepping Stone is absolutely gorgeous! Am I remembering correctly that Serious was meant to be the single and they changed it to Stepping Stone?

I absolutely loved Rockferry back in 2008/2009. I think I played it at least three times a week for the first six to nine months after it was released. I loved all the b-sides too. Speaking of which, I’d have loved a complete edition of Rockferry. They’ve already included Stay With Me Baby from The Boat That Rocked soundtrack. I would’ve loved if they included all 7 b-sides as well, Tomorrow, Save It For Your Prayers, Put It In Perspective, Loving You, Frame Me, Big Flame and Smoke Without Fire. Especially as very few of those are on streaming. I’d love all of them on one CD, I bought the singles of Amazon back in 2010, but it’d be nice to have them all housed together on the one cd/vinyl. They could even include her cover of Live and Let Die.

What’s with Just Give Me A Reason being back in the chart? Love that song.

if I’m still in then I’ve just submitted.

Bit of a random bump as I didn’t think starting a new thread was needed. Deluxe re-release coming to CD and Vinyl. https://store.iamduffy.com *mods please move if needed.

The collaborations I mainly disagree with and think shouldn’t be allowed are ones where the vocalist has an Artist Forum. So that’d disqualify One Kiss, This Is What You Came For and We Found Love for Calvin as they feature Dua Lipa and Rihanna. There may be some others as well. *It’d also mean Years & Years couldn’t use their Kylie Minogue collaboration if they got back on via the Gamu round. To me that seems fair as it was one of the guidelines of the Pop Factor.

Looks like we’ll be big hitters this round. This has potential to be more brutal than the last round!

Wow, that Females 6 Chair Challenge was brutal. They all came to play. Well done to @Calum, @Rogue, @Iz様 🌟 and @Jaz13music on what must’ve been a very challenging round. Regardless of whether or not I progressed or lost my chair, or even participated you all did so well.

The Adele and Marina choices! ❤️

I love Footprints In The Sand, though it seems rather forgotten these days.

Zara isn’t messing around with this round.

Great choice for Sam Smith!

Poor Years & Years, gone without my three favourite songs from them appearing.

I’m all for a bit of a shake up and something different to the battles of last year. Thank you @Calum for trying something new with this format. I’d love to go through to the next round but if my act hasn’t been selected then so be it. I could still get back in with a Golden Gamu ticket. Good luck everyone!

It’ll probably be early morning for me, like 5-5:30am. So theres a chance I’ll be waking up then.

It's really sad when you consider this not to be a surprise by Trump.
