honestlyyy one of the reasons I enjoy hosting the most is to do all the counting up!

no big surprises from semi 2 except perhaps FARC!

I see the argument, my only issue is more so with claiming to not care about fame and wanting to just make music and then making a choice like this that totally puts a lie to that. It's a claim that for example if I was a music artist I wouldn't make in the first place, a) because it wouldn't be true, and b) because of so much potential for it to come back and bite you in the bum if a situation like this arises where you have to end up then making this choice. It was an obvious mistake to make and her apology was poor as well. An artist that truly cared about keeping it real with the fans and giving back, once again, would have made a better apology and possibly offered some kind of gift to fans to make up for it.

not the custom video

Some familiar names to me here! I'm not sure there's a standout winner this time. Rileasa Slaves and Marmalade made the biggest impression on me from the MTQ, I also think I've seen Charra Tea before and Kiki Snatch.

Not the Veronica hate :lol: I think she's a queen with clear strengths & weaknesses plus isn't afraid to get into drama so would be a good reality tv character. A double shantay with Vanity would've provided a lot of opps for that in UK3 instead of Scarlet Harlet becoming the villain by default for getting stressed one day!

UK3 was a truly dark season, it did have some bright spots in Choriza & River but double elim'd them, to say nothing of paying Veronica dust and early eliming her after making her do two runway packages in the same covid year. Kinda think Kitty should've stayed away, this season is destroying her reputation. As for the Nellenia thing how they all thought she might be in the bottom is beyond me! She oozes charisma and did a split in her verse!

I think it's bs. She's trying to have it both ways with playing the 'I don't care about the fame' side and then also making moves that shows she clearly does. There's nothing I dislike more than inauthenticity in a music star tbh.

Agree, this season has it all! A quit against the season villain in the bottom, followed by which the season villain ONLY THEN pulls out her lipsync tricks for a solo performance, then has a villain monologue about the girl who self eliminated afterwards?!

Tea wise Kitty is villainous the whole season long too and at the midpointAlyssa supposedly threatened to quit and had words with production!

Crystal M is my only essential in this group

This is a bloodbath!

Nirvana sounds really good why wasnt that the lead??

Dare I say there could be another three #1s on this album in Good Graces, Juno and Slim Pickins!

Announced today that 'workers will have the right to a 4 day week' (made up of compressed hours) Not sure of all the ins and outs of it yet but to me that sounds good. Should note that some industries/workplaces are also reducing standard hours so this should pair quite nicely.

Looks like we have our first tiebreaker rounds! (Which is only fair)

That's kind of where I am. Having said that, hands up and say that I'm not a left leftwing person so that informs my bias. Idk, I don't follow politics suuuuper closely but as someone who isn't particularly informed there's nothing that Starmer has done so far that insults me, in fact he has handled the 'riots' aka violent outbreak in the country remarkably swiftly. He ran on a centre left platform that was going to be more competent than the Tories and planned to take action and get things done, and he has.

I think so too! It's not my party but I don't understand criticism for criticism's sake. People need to be realistic.

Leafeon - looks like that child actor!

I'm seeing Starmer getting a lot of criticism on reddit and iI'm not really sure why? I also don't understand why the subreddit for Labour UK is so out and out critical when... that's your team, guys.

Well ty for the early hype, not sure I'm feeling the critiques of it not getting vetoed though lol, if it had obviously I would have sent something else... but as far as I know her claim to fame so far is featuring on an Iggy Azalea song that didn't chart (?)

Now I'm jealous!

Goldfrapp is an inspired choice and I can never get enough of Claire! Mabel...less so I hope Alexandra Burke is appropriately cringe again

Glad to have my pop girlies in semi 2 for the poppiest track I've sent in a hot minute

I still think Beverly beat her in their lipsync
