I'm expecting to come near the bottom (music snobs 😋) so I am fine with either!

Think I've re-evaluated Flow in my head! Been to the cinema a lot in the last few days! 1. We Live In Time - 7/10 2. Mufasa: The Lion King - 6/10 3. Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy - 10/10 4. Kensuke's Kingdom - 8/10 (flight movie) 5. Trap - 8/10 (flight movie) 6. Kneecap - 8/10 (flight movie) 7. Thelma - 8/10 (flight movie) 8. Dandelion - 5/10 (flight movie) 9. Conclave - 7/10 (flight movie) 10. Emelia Perez - 8/10 (flight movie) 11. Sing Sing - 7/10 (flight movie) 12. The People's Joker - 8/10 13. The Wedding Banquet - 9.5/10 (BFI Flare) 14.

Winter Kept Us Warm - 7/10 (BFI Flare) 20. Billy Elliot Musical (20th Anniversary Screening) - 8/10

Mary J Blige A U2 cover I adore is ‘All I Want Is You’ by Bellefire. Gutted that isn’t on Spotify

The acoustic performance demonstrates they have the ability to knock it out of the park on the day. Staging is likely to be more important for them than other acts. I personally think a lot of the hate isn't towards them but is towards the UK (same old story). If all goes well I am thinking 100 points minimum from the jury, which will be enough to counter a much lower tally from the public

Think I'm set on my next track. I was planning to send a sweet folk song (actually have been debating to send it for months) but chances of it qualifying are next to none I think. So changing to a different direction

Thanks so much @AllStarBySmashMouth for the 12pts! Think that's a second time my sole 12 pointer has come from a guest voter :)

Predicted an M83 win so 3rd is not far off I seem to be stuck on 10th/11th placed finishes in spin offs! Great hosting Mango

Just realised I’ve met two of the people listed (Danny and Chesney. Also walked past Jack in the street once

I have always adored that Siobhan track and would have sent it to BJSC if it could avoid a veto (but as they have a forum..,)

So I’m Siobhan or mis-teeq! Both great acts

Everyone’s off zero!

Madonna

Gaga for the win

Ja Rule

Wow I was sure Gooddelta was Same Difference because one of the videos for it on YouTube was loaded by someone with the same name!

I don’t think that Scene. I’d put you for Joe or Alexander Why do people think I’m Siobhan Donaghy?

lol. I did find out accidentally!

Pretty sure you’re bluffing on your song - which you’ve listed as someone else here 😜

The Brandy and Ray J version is simply superb

How wonderfully cryptic 😜

I’m hoping for a top 10 finish but then also wouldn’t be surprised if I finish near the bottom!

Danny Beard and Angelica Bell yes! But there’s an overdose of Love Island / Towie / Wags there

The differences between SF & Final are interesting Of my 3 finals I've had: 1 where I scraped through the semi and then came 15th in the final 2 where I dropped quite a bit from semi to final (7th to outside top 20 & 13th to 40th) Guess it depends on what is in the other semi final & also whether your song grows on repeat listens
