I'm pleased to see Damien Rice through to the next round. Thanks to Calum for the speedy results, now everyone please head over to the 21st Century forum where I will now be revealing the results of Bop Idol.

What a shame, Dido is one of the best singers in this category. I hope the wonderful 'Here With Me' is used for the Golden Wagner. 'Stan' is really Eminem's song, not hers.

Aside from those, I'm not really sure this time.
