BJSC 172 - Sleeping At Last Time for the next contest. It feels inevitable that Herbilore are destined to break the consecutive NQ record, so for BJSC 172 we’ve gone back to our melancholy/ethereal routes with an entry that aims to make you feel, rather than make you rush to vote for us. Or maybe our thing is planets and sending ‘Mercury’ by Sleeping At Last will accompany ‘Hometown of Jupiter’ as our only other qualifier! Sleeping at Last started off as a band but now, like one of our other fave artists Passenger, is a solo project led by singer and multi-instrumentalist Ryan O’Neal. Final Position: 7th in SF2, 23rd in Final Points scored: 68 in SF2, 147 in Final & we reached the final for only our second time!!!!! Thanks to the following nations for points: Semi Final: Niceland - 12pts New Lexico - 12pts Conoria - 10pts (I'd like to think you'd have given me points in the final!) Kluminican Republic - 10pts Trifoski - 8pts Hendinia - 6pts Danæviia - 4pts Land of DW - 3pts Eledan - 3pts Final: Niceland - 18pts New Lexico - 18pts Jupiterdonia - 15pts Trifoski - 12pts Lotunia - 12pts Greenfroze - 9pts Kluminican Republic - 9pts Seyetana - 8pts Fljotavik - 8pts Zanmatony - 7pts Danæviia - 7pts Hendinia - 5pts Kylienips - 4pts Summericia - 4pts Bronzil - 3pts Sovarasma - 3pts Land of DW - 3pts Mothertopia - 1pt Persephonia - 1pt

That’s the beauty of randomisation I guess. At some point it’ll go the other way and then you’ll be sick of me! I try not to pay attention to who is in my semi so I can focus purely on the song, although I now take a brief look to see whether I think I have a chance of qualifying!

Yeah only my 3rd time being in SF2 as well (out of 11)

Oooooh didn’t realise the songs had been posted. I like a couple of the songs here already, excited to hear the rest

Yeah it’s Claire or Faye for me

Lol at some of these songs! We get rid of loads and just have an Aaliyah - Daniel - Cristina top 3?

Eminem

Ok I have a clear winner now U2 to go

She was Bridget’s neighbour who you saw in one scene. Assumed she’d come back at some point but she never did!

Woop woop, can't wait for I Kissed A Boy Series 2

Based on the results from the contests I've been involved in, I'd expect tech house to have some fans :)

Booo the original date would have been an early bday present for me. Now it can be an early xmas present I guess (that I have to share!)

Saw the final Bridget Jones instalment last night and in a word my response was 'wow' I believe it was the 3rd book released. The 3rd film was then made into a book and was the 4th book released. I know there was some shock from 'fans' upon hearing about the death of one of the characters, but anyone who had read the book would have known this was happening. My overall thoughts on the movie - a brilliant return for Bridget & Co, in a movie that had a lot of heart (I cried at least 5 times). It brings back much loved characters and gives you a nice bout of nostalgia. My only notes are that I always want to see the friends more (especially Sally Phillips) and Isla Fisher's cameo was pretty much pointless. Anyone else planning on seeing it? DhAcAgULwYY

Update: 1. We Live In Time - 7/10 2. Mufasa: The Lion King - 6/10 3. Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy - 10/10 4. The People's Joker - TBC Also on a long haul flight this weekend/next week so will add all those in here too!

I think I'm going to stick to my guns, even if it means a last place coming! Got to get that 'longest NQ streak' somehow!

Yeah it has 100% been a nice surprise. Her casting was the one where I had concerns, but she knocked it out of the park

Aww Jamelia is probably my 2nd fave left and it's heading out! (from 1 vote in the last round to 9 so far in this round!)

Not sure if this will cause an issue with the F1 team, but 'Stake' have been in trouble this week: https://www.msn.com/en-gb/money/news/premie...id=BingNewsVerp

I would say that’s a great list of album winners. Some albums that shine from start to finish and others that have some cracking tracks heading them. A good representation of British music

I have a few booked for this year now: Loreen - 19th March in London Scissor Sisters - 16th May in Nottingham Will Young/Beverley Knight - 3rd July in Warwick Might also book a day festival where Bears Den are the headline act

Gone for Dido, Adele (21) and Emeli Sande

Yeah have gone for Gorillaz - gotta say this is a final where all my faves have already gone :(

I still love Toy. Heroes is still good to me but I'd be more likely to skip

U2
