Missed the listen through :( @Viper* did you manage to join in the end and did my song go down well ;)

So many Celine songs to choose from! Of recent songs Loreen - Tattoo & Delta Goodrem - Eclipse are up there for me

I feel bad for Russell He’s always been underrated in my opinion. He jumped into a Mercedes and dominated Bottas for christs sake. And his wins last year were great. Yes he has made mistakes but he’s one of the strongest in the field But Kimi has upped his level at the right time / lucky time. A part of me would love the story of it all. Wouldn’t surprise me if we have a repeat of zpiastri/Norris though, with consistent performances from Russell pulling him through

lol glad to contribute to the (Herbi)lore!

Any chance I can challenge my highest finish of 15th?

I wonder if going back to a national competition would work - but the acts/songs need to be worthy of ESC. For years we just had loads of crap so of course the winner of that crap did nothing in the contest. At the time I also think the UK had a gender bias issue with public voting contests - with female artists and groups often losing out to male singers with weaker songs/performances (I always tagged on things like X Factor and Popstar to Operastar to that - the fact that Claire Richards didn’t make the final of the latter spoke volumes to me at the time)

Snuck back in. Thank you soooooo much for anyone voted for my smooth operator of a song (if you know you know!)

Turning my phone off - this is torture And my 10th/11th placed songs eliminated :(

Boooo Jacob Alon deserves more…

I’m only partially here! Please don’t let me be 21st….

Alpine: Gasly (R) v Colapinto (Q) 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: Lawson (Q, R) v Lindblad Red Bull: Verstappen (Q, R) v Hadjar Williams: Albon v Sainz Jr (Q, R) Pole Position: Russell Winner: Russell Fastest Lap: Russell

Voted almost a day early (for me!) Too many songs to vote for.....

I’ve got a high percentage (due to my limited number of contests) of instances where Q predictions have ended in NQ - and with a few of them I wasn’t even close!

Watch me now not qualify! Trying to remember if I’ve ever had a winner prediction before!

I’m glad it’s not all one way traffic I wish I’d gotten Mighty Hoopla tickets last year to see Amy perform

I’m up for that to take the overall record - currently joint between Novak and the vile Margaret Court

It pains me to put Emma second twice, but that’s the power of Mel C!

Yeah it’s an odd one - especially when Italy finished so high…..and even Cyprus with some dodgy live vocals

The joy of multiple listens I’ve gone through multiple feelings, from ‘where da hits at?’ to ‘oh there’s a good set of songs here’, to ‘oh f***, I like a lot of the songs the same amount’!!!

Yeeees Amy made it. That song and album has a special memory for me

Damn missed the listen through. Hope everyone had fun
