I guess it all became about building momentum. 5678 had to happen for Last Thing On My Mind to happen, for One For Sorrow to become a bigger hit! I'd maybe have released another single (Love You More or This Heart Will Love Again). I'd also look at sharing the vocals more on One For Sorrow (with Claire still being the main voice you heard in the chorus)

Interesting thread. I definitely feel like Ed led a resurgence, although the man himself was inspired by my favourite singer, Damien Rice

These are both songs I roll my eyes to…! Going with Shane by default - always thought his version was alright

I’ll join you!

Ready with my entry!

At last I finally have a final position I’ve gained more than once! (After so many 24th placed semi final exits…)

Oh I’m the one who scraped through in SF1!

I am so glad Sasami did well. I’m still annoyed at some of the (in my opinion contrived) reasons people gave for voting against it in pop factor

Excellent hosting Addy Thanks to all who sent Herbilore/Keaton some love. Was close to throwing a tantrum when I was stuck on 0 points for aaaaages! The experiment sort of worked :)

You’re good - WTM have been racking up 1 pointers like no tomorrow :)

Thanks Jacob Addy just give me the 18 points already 😜

Think we’ll see if Draper can do anything on grass - I’m optimistic

Thanks Lotunia (love that my top 2 gave me points back despite us all being very different) Thanks Scotland :)

Woooo I got to 100, thanks so much Kath and Wardy ❤️

Did I misremember! I had hopes from positive comments but no votes!

Yey, thanks Bre. That almost makes up for last month 😜

Awww man I’d love to get to 100 points! Getting closer with those points Colm, thanks

Thanks Skall - greatly appreciated
