Josh!

I had so many potentials this month so I was expecting to see more songs I recognise here, but I don’t know that many. I’ve ended up preferring Mothertopia’s entry to my own this month. Loving ILLIT at the moment too. That’s the definition of massssssive K-pop banger.

I agree with Chris on ‘Fantasy’! It wasn’t my 11 but I’d say it’s my second fave on the album. It just builds and builds until this point of pure musical heaven. She sounds amazing on it! And it’s retro style gives it this timeless vibe. It still sounds so fresh to me whereas some of the early solo Little Mix releases don’t hit the same for me anymore. I can’t understand how people could give it a score of 9 or less!!!

I thought this too... I've seen the film because I see mostly everything but I did have the thought, why make a film about this in the first place? It's like making a film now celebrating Jimmy Savile's career in television. No allegations to cover because there were none at that time, but it also features numerous scenes of Michael spending time with children in hospitals and all sorts. It's the elephant in the room.

Yay, back to having good winners ! [/shade] A solid pop song and it’s always nice to see a first time winner. Congrats!!! Love when you know 5/10 of the top ten pre - contest but you send something that comes dead last in the semi 🙈 So glad to see East Rukahavian avoid last place again because that would’ve been so unjust this time. Thanks for hosting!

Why is a full set of votes with both song and artist names being deemed unacceptable tho??? 😆 when the votes were submitted at a time when your OP instructions weren’t most clear and had been misinterpreted by others going by comments in this thread

Remy Bond can say she's won and finished bottom in two different semi finals now. Can any other artist say that?

Happy with that winner! I think they're my least fave overall of the top three but the finale song choice was so undeniable that I had to rank them at No.1 in my votes here. I did make a few discoveries along the way too which was nice as I knew all the Kelly/Lily ones. Well done to all three of you though and lovely write-ups from you all. Amusing to see Joseph talk about the humbling moment in the battle round, teehee 🙊 Thank you so much for hosting Calum. So efficient! It's been a pleasure to take part x

"Respectable" is a great song. I wish it was more remembered nowadays... it seems a bit underrated to me? My favourite Appleby related song was Kim's solo debut "Don't Worry" though. It's unfortunate that was pipped to the top spot in the 90s.

As you say, the finale minute of this goes OFFFFFF!!! Wish I had fingers as quick as yours on the confirmation button x

My dad loves "Call Me" by Spagna so I've become fond of it over the years. A bop that I'd have liked to have seen ahead of MJ, for sure.

So it was Nelionoir who beat me to Tiffany Day. An undeniable banger!!!! And you beat to me to Coco & Clair Clair not that long ago too 😭😭😭 I love the LUNA song too but I thought it’d be a veto with how buzzy it seems online. I think they’ll both be big contenders. I’m also familiar with the entries from Charlotte MacIness, Gelli Haha, Arlissa, Nichola Holt, and 2charm. More than usual 👀

9th to confirm but beaten to my top choice 💔

Wow, Dandy being the master of landslide wins then! Can't say I ~get~ the track at all but well done anyway :') and I've voted Fljotavik plenty in the past so I'll just pretend it's for "Send Me An Angel" instead. I'm just glad to have qualified this month after all the DNQ predictions. It's funny cause I got votes from countries I'd never have expected it to appeal to (Klum, Aeroche, Skall) but then was snubbed by a good chunk of pop-bloc countries, haha. How can you resist the immaculate vocals of Nicole Scherzinger!? Thank you for hosting John. Beautiful presentation ❤️

Aw man... I adore "Falling" too!!! It's my third most played from their debut era behind "If I Could Change Your Mind" and "Forever" which I was able to both send. For those of y'all who did like my entries, I'd urge you to go listen to all of these songs mentioned here 🙊
