Who won the jury vote?

Not bad, but will probably get overshadowed by the other 20 odd male soloists in the final.

Someone You Loved Perfect Shotgun All need to ride off into the sunset now/about a year ago.

Diet Coke Duffy being declared Eurovision Winner at 11:30- the next ad writes itself!

Glad Kate managed as high as 13th- she would have been my 30 pointer had I voted.

Will probably end up being an Ed Sheeran rap verse tacked on.

Hoping Kate Bush features somewhere in the top 20- though that may be a bit optimistic.

Pleasantly surprised to see Bjork so high. If Alexa had voted Ellie would be number 1 for sure.

Titanium for Sia. She had been around for a while but that really catapulted her sales wise.

Hope Michelle McManus sneaks into the top 50.

I guess Paloma Faith's Architect album would now be ineligible as there are 3 tracks she doesn't appear on at all.

This is why I am against scrapping Best Male/Best Female categories. Females singers would get virtually no recognition otherwise.

So many fresh hits returning! We're so blessed the OCC keep fiddling the rules so!

Oh dear. Mariah's Twitter account has been well and truly hacked. Alexa?

Ellie Goulding. With Alexa on board the sky is the limit.

Alexa the "Jukebox Heaven"hacked Youtube to rig it for Ellie.

Well, well, well.

I think the final Survation poll in 2017 had the Tories only 1% ahead...so that is a bit worrying. Oh well, perhaps the snow and rain will keep the Tory voters at home.

A glorious return to the top for the Greatest Showman OST.

Finally a serious contender for Christmas Number 1!

I think my 3 favorite songs on this are the three bonus tracks. :kink:

An outbreak of good taste. Plus it was performed on Celebrity X Factor.

I've got an Odeon Limitless Card so I usually go at least once a week. Though there was a long period a few months back where I didn't go at all for about 6 weeks as there was absolutely nothing good on that I hadn't already seen.

Number of possible reasons. Conservatives would say it's because that young Conservatives are generally treated with contempt by their peers- as you become older you become less bothered about the approval of your peer group. Others would say it is because people become more individualistic/selfish as you get older. Or maybe what it means to be "Conservative" changes and people don't actually change their opinions so much. I've always considered myself left wing, but find myself raising an eyebrow more and more at the left...though I don't think my opinions have actually changed. Perhaps I'll be considered "Consravtive" or "Right Wing" in 20 years time.

Labour MP Kate Hoey really is an oddball- voted against the deal but for the government timetable. :basil:
