In agreement with all of this... the Little Mix song, while I didn't hate it, just sounded like one of those tacky X-Factor mashups and given I'm not aware of what their plans are at the moment, I'd say it sounds like something to lead a Greatest Hits or something.

Get "I'm Done With The World (& It's Done With Me)" in there too!

In Bjork's defence, "ME!" does sound like it was written for an episode of Barney or something in places. SPELLING IS FUN!

It wasn't until after the contest that I really *got* it. Everyone watching en masse where I was, was shocked and disappointed when Ukraine won, particularly given Dami Im was the clear favourite in the venue. In the following days I kept watching and re-watching "1944" live and it really is actually magical, and very deserving of the victory. I love everything Adam said about it; I love the production as well. It's a cool track. It may rise further towards the top of the decade for me as time goes by.

:o "Midnight Caller" is one of my very favourites on the album! Though it's full of top tracks. Really like the White Lies collab too, think his vocal really works on it. Both are pretty moody and haunting tracks, maybe that's not to your taste I guess. Seriously love that album though, "Blind Faith" and "Time" are 2 of my favourites of the decade :wub:

I’m keen to hear what others think! "Heater" is the strongest of the era for me, but it’s cohesive and decent quality throughout.

Are we really moaning about the talent that is Cheryl not doing as well as urban music?

2 more tracks have been released - hadn't realised! Donna (Part 1 of 10) V-plAPYbQvg Life In The City (Part 2 of 10) VLPsZT2ZAgE And the video released for "Gloria" too - need to watch all these as it looks as though there might be some sort of story... Gloria (Part 3 of 10) Rh9RIqtNlIM

Just listened to the new Camila and YEBBA tracks and both are very good - this is looking like a VERY promising album! "Late Night Feelings" has become my favourite track of the year so far, and the Miley collab was also great obviously.

Solid album - think this will have the most replayability factor since "No More Idols" which remains one of my all time favourite albums, if not my favourite.

This might actually be my new favourite thing!! :lol: thanks for sharing!

Good stuff! Enjoying some of his remix and the Becky collab since FMN which was a #1 hit in my chart :D

If Belarus jury votes had been disqualified altogether, they'd have been at a slight advantage of having the ability to receive points from all juries and then not give them out themselves. I think the best option would've been just to... not disqualify the jury. Or have backup jurors. How on earth are they going to sort out the DVD edition before it comes out... incorrect scoring, a different jury winner, and Madonna has also uploaded a video of her performances with re-dubbed vocals :lol:

The Hurts ship has sailed. Still surprised we didn’t send The Flood by Katie Melua as rumoured at the time either. I could see Måns Zelmerlöw doing it for us in the 2020s weirdly.

4.7/10 on IMDb!! I don’t even know what to say tbh

We seem to love sending songs that mention hands, togetherness and storms.

Not a good one? It's never been one of my favourites this year, but I'm absolutely delighted for them. Their best result in Eurovisoin, and really, it was a song that was performed the hell out of by the contestant, and was clearly an emotional affair for her. It was absolutely adorable to see her reactions to being in the lead and all the 12 points they were getting from the jury votes. I'm absolutely delighted for them and I feel it IS deserved. On a side note, my boyfriend, who I'm trying to get in to Eurovision, absolutely loved the North Macedonian entry, he voted for them and everything, I was astonished at all of this cos he seems to have this whole "I'm cool, I like Ibiza music and grime" air about him, but that song he really took to and I was like "yeah it's alright... but really ???" I was so shocked :lol: but NOW I get it tbf

10 WHOLE MINUTES! :P

If there was no 'big 5', since the inception of the semi finals & also no 'if you were top X the year before, you're through', which of the Big 5 entries would've qualified and which wouldn't? United Kingdom is an easy place to start the focus. I literally can't think of any of ours that would've qualified other than: 2009 - Jade Ewen - It's My Time 2011 - Blue - I Can 2017 - Lucie Jones - Never Give Up On You

"Far from" is debatable?

Utterly wtf!
