They do but I’ll still moan!

These semi finals are going to be brutal! But glad I’ve gone with my song after seeing who is in my semi finals! And if anyone gives the Chappell/Olivia song points that gave me nothing in the last contest I’ll be moaning!!!!

Alpine: Gasly (Q,R) v Colapinto Aston Martin: Alonso (Q,R) v Stroll Audi: Bortoleto v Hulkenberg (Q, R) Cadillac: Perez (Q,R) v Bottas Ferrari: Leclerc (Q,R) v Hamilton Haas: Ocon (Q,R) v Bearman McLaren: Norris (Q,R) v Piastri Mercedes: Antonelli v Russell (Q,R) Racing Bulls: Tsunoda v Lindblad (Q,R) Red Bull: Verstappen (Q,R) v Lawson Williams: Albon v Sainz Jr (Q,R) Pole Position: Russell Winner: Russell Fastest Lap: Norris

Poor Pierre Any chance this decision will get reversed? Surely Alpine/Gasly will appeal?

Takes Haute & Freddy off my potentials list…

All my life I’ve avoided beaver. Now I may end up voting for it…..

64 entries!!! So 11 non qualifiers per semi final!

Wouldn’t it be nice if Herbilore extend their consecutive qualifying run to 4! Counting on you alt voters (and maybe some crossover pop ones too)

I would say 9 to 5 for me, but that may be because I have connections to the song (a friend loved it, we dressed up as characters from the movie etc). Jolene is a close second Obviously financially and as far as her song writing goes it is I Will Always Love You

At the moment I have one song at the top and then a batch of songs below (all quite pleasant) - which be default is making it hard to complete my rankings! Will be an interesting results thread

Wow surprised Christina didn’t make it Elbow FTW I guess

I was always gutted they took out S.P.E.W from the films but yeah not sure how I feel about this in general I think there’s a high risk this will bomb or the damage JK has done to her image will cause people not to watch - meaning you’ll get an incomplete story (I’m still not over that for The Carrie Diaries…..where half the SATC cast had yet to be introduced) I spoke to a trans friend about the book a couple of years ago and asked what their thoughts were on reading them/also watching this series. They did say they can disassociate the art from the artist and they’d be fine with people re-reading/watching this series, as long as it doesn’t directly promote JK in any way.

On the Meat Loaf song, do I remember rightly that he recorded it as he wanted the song before it was given to Celine. Think I remember hearing he was a bit bitter about it so eventually released his own version - it’s a shame it pales in comparison to the iconic Celine version

Poor Jessica. I bought that on single when it was first released and blasted it over and over again (don’t want to know what I sounded like singing along to it!). But not surprising to see it heading out early

Is the 10 points for me because I finished 5th (6 points) and 7th (4pts) in the last 2 contests?

Oh maybe my fave goes out round 1 lol!

Ooooh one of these songs is a personal fave of mine - watch it go out round 2 or something! Elvis to go first

What a flop start from me!

Is that potentially a 6 way battle for number one?!

Bloody hell is everyone sending pop?! Should I change back to pop or stick with my alt leaning, retro entry?

Actually a song of his I adore is coming up! One I prefer to Bad Habits!

So glad you loved it - it is one of my all time faves and such an underrated gem from Alanis imo

Lap it up - glad my 12 pointer finished runner up :)

This has been such a joyous contest for me Great theme, sooooo many good entries, where I literally panicked after the first couple of listens wondering how I'd figure out what to vote for. But should have known with this genre that the songs can take a few listens to sink in! Great winner and so glad I voted for the top 3 Again, thanks to anyone who showed Alanis some love. Thrilled with 5th. Another spin off success :)
