Josh!

I’m glad my 18 came to save you swiftly after this. LOVED your entry this month x

Well done for hosting so well despite all the site changes Cody! So happy for Keke Palmer qualifying. I was a bit worried for its chances but it's a song I've loved for years now, so I'm glad some others enjoyed it. She's such a lovely presence in general too. Sad to see Jupiter feeling down after not qualifying. It was one of my high pointers. Please stick around!!!!

I will really enjoy reading this, as so many box office reports are so focused on US domestic!

I can’t speak for the remix but Sinceramente is an amazing song!! Rightfully vetoed though :P

I meant if there was a ban next month, haha, but phew… thankfully not!

Not Rob's gargantuan Q streak coming to an end because of non-voting!!! Rob, I hope you have an alarm set before 11am out there wherever you are because your song is amazing

My hype is all over the place this month! Should be a surprise on the night for Ajanaeda either way, haha. I usually trust Lew's odds but I think Cheiron and Fljotavik have the best chance for the gold. I'd like to see Honki Ponki dark horse it!

Only lost one vote and I qualified so that’s a success! I really thought Conoria would be a qualifier so I’m shocked at that, and that it wasn’t all that close to #20 either. Honki Ponki is also brilliant!!! I was shocked at all the DNQ predictions.

It’s on my Spotify!? Beautiful song

Six people have been nominated twice for playing the same character in the history of the Academy Awards, but it hasn't happened in back to back years since the 1940s which was obviously a very different landscape for the Oscars. I don't think anything like this has happened where it's all been filmed in one go and artificially split into two films. It would be unprecedented (which I think is why the studio are going all out trying to secure noms for the first instalment) but I guess strange things happen every year. The new songs they've written could be undeniable Oscar clips for all we know!

We agree on almost all of these scores!!! Do you have Letterboxd, Conor?

Cineworld, as I’ve been a member for about ten years. We have a big 16 screen cinema in the city centre which shows most things. I am nervous about the closures though, especially after hearing the huge Nottingham one wasn’t safe and the fact my home town Cineworld in Bedford closed last year :( If Cineworld isn’t showing something, then we go to the local independent cinema as a treat. We wouldn’t really go to another chain unless we were in another city or something but then we’re not usually watching films on our holidays. I’d like to go to the indie ones more, or Everyman as it’s such a nice experience, but moviegoing really does cost a fortune nowadays.

Sally Trademark is really stylish. I’d love that!

More mediocre songs :nocheer: I’m usually her biggest defender but this era is just terrible. The most bland pop music imaginable. I’ve listened twice to the deluxe tracks and they just washed over me.

Thank you Herb! Glad you were able to make a discovery x

Oooh it was exciting to be up there for once!!! I think this is our best ever result in our entire nation’s history so yay for that! All the ones battling it out for the win were faves of mine so I’m really pleased with the results. Hushkanukia and Aeroche had just missed out on my votes too.

High body count hair will be entering my daily lexicon. I’m also obsessed with the way Angie says “I think I look like a mother” right after, hahahahah

I implore you all to go and listen to this because the lyrics are wild.

Haven't had hype like this in years so I hope we can end the year with a bang!!! Mothertopia and I have been having discussions over dinner about who we think will take the gold. My money's on Hushkanukia or Kluminican Republic with outsider chances for the more out there stuff from Botanikka and Trifoski.

I'll keep you posted :P

I'm at Manchester tonight! Setlist should be a bit of a surprise with it being the first UK date. Brat on repeat for our journey down there x 3rd time seeing her which matches Florence + the Machine with the artist I've seen most live :cheer:

I managed to get Wembley but not as close as I'd like!!! I still might try later on for closer. I'm so excited because she's my favourite artist ever. I hope she doesn't cancel like she did last time I had UK tickets, rahhh!!

I love reading these too :heart:

Hopefully Bre can remind me too , haha .
