Dandy Warhols Nelly F predicatably going to finish 3rd

Thought I had lots of choices for this theme, before realising a lot of the acts I was thinking of were one hit wonders in the early 00's Have submitted something that I adoooooooore

Day 1: Favourite trans character - Anna Madrigal (Tales of the City) Day 2: Favourite new TV show released in 2025 Might have to come back to this one Day 3: Favourite on-screen friendship Chandler & Joey Day 4: TV show you've deliberately avoided watching Anything Marvel (because I want to at some point watch them chronologically) Day 5: An underrated TV show Sugar Rush (the 00's C4 series) Day 6: Favourite quiz show Pointless Day 7: TV show that outstayed its welcome Once Upon A Time Day 8: Most misunderstood character you like or relate to Skyler from Breaking Bad (err, hello, if you found out what your husband had been doing, you'd be exactly the same) Day 9: Favourite TV soundtrack Dawsons Creek Day 10: Earliest memory of watching a TV show It will be something I watched with my nan - like Murder She Wrote Day 11: Funniest moment or scene in a TV show There's a scene in Gimme Gimme Gimme where Linda cannot understand why Tom is marrying a woman. I can quote most of it to this day Day 12: Favourite love triangle in a TV show Joey, Dawson, Pacey (Dawsons Creek) Day 13: TV show villain you would fall victim to Day 14: TV show you've watched several times from start to finish Will & Grace (among others) Day 15: Favourite character development in a TV show Either sibling in Schitt's Creek Day 16: Hottest male character Harvey from the 90's Sabrina TV series Day 17: Biggest victim of one-series cancellation by Netflix or another streaming platform Tales of the City (the return Netflix series) - although I think this was intended as a one-off Day 18: Favourite reality TV show Race Across the World Day 19: Least favourite main character in a TV show Ted in How I Met Your Mother Day 20: TV show that gave its fans what they wanted but it didn't work Linking to the one above - Ted & anyone in HIMYM Day 21: Favourite comedy / sitcom TV show Will & Grace Day 22: Character you'd do anything to protect Jack McPhee (Dawsons Creek) Day 23: Favourite LGBTQ+ representation in a TV show Tales of the City (original series + Netflix series) Day 24: Favourite reality TV contestant Alison Hammond Day 25: Most unexpected emotional moment in a TV show Day 26: TV show ruined by being brought back after ending or cancellation Day 27: Most annoying reality TV contestant Day 28: Hottest female character Day 29: TV show you'd end immediately if you could Day 30: Favourite final episode of a TV show

Well I found this hard to rate as I know some of the songs very well and others I either don't know or barely know I couldnt rate over 1 listen, did numerous listens and still feels weighted towards the more known songs 1 The Saturdays - Ego (fave) 2 WALK THE MOON - Jenny 3 Pet Shop Boys - Always On My Mind 4 Fifth Harmony - That’s My Girl 5 ENHYPEN - Brought the Heat Back 6 A-ha - Cry Wolf 7 CHVRCHES - Clearest Blue 8 YVA - Grožio Fabrikas

Ooooh now get the non-instrumental version of Unplayed Piano on there!

Yeah defo better songs - I just found his voice grating and it put me off

More Scott

I got told off for saying this recently, but Joy Division/Ian Curtis Love Will Tear Us Apart is such an amazing song, but Ian Curtis cannot sing on it. I I also personally struggle with AC/DC. The screeching voice

It's fine. Your Song may just about survive

Ah! I didn't check fully. I'm totally not who he thinks I am.....(or am I?!)

Ooooh was not expecting everyone to be revealed! Now I know who chose The Saturdays (if I bothered to count they are one of the most successful acts ever on my personal chart)

Yey, thank you. Have loved Keaton for years ❤️

Lady Marmalade

Razorlight/Ordinary Boys tied for me

Dandy Warhols

Eerrrm. Most of them?

Seeing these votes trickle in is going to add to the suspense! I’m giving some of the songs I know less a few listens before I submit my votes

I think the public vote for UK, Switzerland and Denmark was appalling, although sadly I wasn’t surprised with the first two. Denmark however, Jesus Christ. Silal gave a polished performance, sounded great, looked great and had a great pop tune. And still only 2 points! Again I’d be interested to know if she’d have gotten any more points if you took Israel/Ukraine out - as I don’t think either would have scored that many public points without current conflicts

BJSC 175 - Keaton Henson So our qualifying streak didn't extend to 3 :( For our next contest, Herbilore are going down a new (& scary) route by sending a predominantly instrumental track. 'Even' comes courtesy of Keaton Henson, an introverted singer known as much for his instrumentals as he is for vocal melancholy. Keaton is a musician adored in the land of Herbilore, his studio albums and soundtracks having spent numerous weeks at number one. This is either going to go one way or the other - we finish last in our semi final, or we qualify for our 4th final. We hope you enjoy :) Woop Woop, we made our 4th Final! Final Position: 20th in SF1, 23rd in Grand Final Points scored: 48 in SF1, 129 in Grand Final Thanks to the following nations for points: Semi Final: Terra Avium - 10pts Jadakissnia - 8pts Cumulonimbia - 8pts Nelionoir - 7pts Eledan - 5pts Flynnonda - 5pts New Lexico - 3pts Bøtanikkä - 1pt Aeroche - 1pt Final: Terra Avium - 13pts Zanmatony - 12pts Lotunia - 10pts Kylienips - 9pts Jadakissnia - 9pts Nelionoir - 9pts Flynnonda - 9pts Cumulonimbia - 8pts Trifoski - 7pts Why So Sirius - 7pts Persephonia - 7pts Kathaldazia - 7pts Scotland 2 - 6pts The Spodic Empire - 5pts Skall - 5pts Aelandor - 4pts Seyetana - 2pts Thanks to Kylienips - now the only country who've given me points in every final I've appeared in :)

For me this list is stacked - whatever goes probably wouldn't be anywhere near going if I put all 3 categories together!

Wouldn’t that reveal who we are?

We vote in all 3 groups?

There was me thinking I’d been given a rare SF2 slot! & I do like a sob on a plane!

Farc wins the airway title for me so far!
