Mad'House.

A lesser good in week 4, huge bops from P!nk and Christina M, hadn't heard the Mercury Rev song until recently and it's one that has continued to grow on each listen and did very well of course via you sending it to Bop Idol, 'Star Guitar' is also pretty good too and I'm a fan of both versions of TLOMB but admittedly and I guess obviously in some way heard the Allstars cover first and was very into their kids show too. Not super crazy on the rest here but the Super Furry Animals song is fine.

U2 and Green Day for me now. Would put Stephen Gately over another of these too, nice solo single that was.

Glorious to win.

Have gone for Daniel but Christina would be my next choice!

Easily Alien Ant Farm!

Voted! Really strong final. Was really tough only voting for 15 this time as my 10 commiserations would easily slot in other contests.

Totally forgot about Robbie covering that and A Knights Tale is a film I've not seen in years (used to watch it plenty of times in the mid 00's). It's the better one here though so voting for it.

Faves from the first two weeks, having already listened to 6 weeks worth via the playlist.. 'Like A Star' the clear fave in week one and I found 'I Don't Wanna Lose My Way' a really lush trance tune. 'Too Many Mc's' is the better of the two PD double A-sides, was a pretty banging listen. 'Drowning is nice enough from BSB, the rest of that weeks are meh to crap especially that OPM track, rubbish follow up to 'Heaven Is A Halfpipe', surprised it got as high as 20 even, sounded like the type of track that'd limp in at 50 something. 'Addicted To Bass', 'More Than A Woman' and Drifting Away' along with Ash the major standouts from the these two weeks combined. 'Dream Universe' is good as is 'Runnin'. Wasn't keen on the Nelly Furtado track after a solid run of good introductory hits. On the other end of the spectrum ''Girls, Girls, Girls' and 'Blow My Whistle' are the worst of week 2 for me. full rank Addicted To Bass > More Than A Woman > Like A Star > Drifting Away > I Don't Wanna Lose My Way > Dream Universe > Runnin > Too Many Mc's > Drowning > Let Me Clear My Throat > Love & Affection > Wonderland > Shit On The Radio (Remember The Days) > Bad Intentions > Body Rock > Love Is In The Air > Haters > It's Love (Trippin) > It's Yours > Girls Girls Girls > Blow My Whistle > El Capitan

Caesars.

So...... John Cena just turned heel and aligned himself with The Rock!!!!

Yikes at only 2 point for BOCK :o am unsure if I expected a q particularly or not but didn't expect that low oops. Shame for Mack out too, a solid track.

Chipmunk and Emeli Sandé but Son of Dork going is also okay as they'd be next!

Gone for Fergie but equally fine with Craig going although I did chart that top 10 at the time but it's not great listening back.

Closing semi 2 we are sending this.. k0bbf8xSyb4?si=Elg8TxRlwqjbPikj A former chart topper in the uhsting top 50 and a fun lil bop at that!

Will, Keane, Mika and Dua!

^have edited that now. Have voted for 'Islands In The Stream' also. Naff cover version. I did get the Leon cd for christmas that year :kink: don't necessarily care for it though and wouldn't be bothered with it going either. I do quite like the Ronan and Yusef one though so would prefer that wasn't binned first.

Justin to go.

Justin next although that's one of his better efforts. Also glad Richard survived (for the certainly final time) Really do like 'Break The Night...'!

'Dirty Harry' to win'

Will come back to Bob a bit later so will opt for Missy instead which I equally don't care for much.

Pogues will be appearing again. In the 126 and 191 survivors respectively!

I heard Minnie Riperton's 'Les Fleur' out yesterday but not one I'd say you would hear much anywhere.
