I do not know you and haven’t made any sweeping statements about your character etc. based on your decision. But the last ESL act was eliminated from the groups which is what i said. Obviously that part didn’t play that big of a role in your decision but this was your decision and prerogative to eliminate whatever act for whatever reason. I just found the variety (i used diversity mistakenly and I meant variety) reason not lining up with the reality of 5/6 remaining acts being from 80s/90s and both New Order and Depeche Mode still in together. Besides, iamamiwhoami is a fresher sound with an extremely strong back catalogue, incredible artistic direction (with videos for almost every single song they release) that is different to any other acts in the groups. So judging their future potential based on only 5 entered songs is quite unfair if you compare to the established acts with more known discographies. It just seemed like a cop out and I’d rather you be honest that you can’t eliminate other acts because of your personal connection to them. That is much easier to digest, even if this round turns into an act popularity game (which begs the question why even enter any songs but I digress). Don’t get me wrong, i never ever expected yammywhammy to win the whole thing or even get close to the final. 90% of the acts entered are doomed to fail from the very start. But having one person decide your whole act’s faith, and mind you - my favourite ever - is extremely disheartening. Because no matter what song is sent, it’s doomed to fail. In comparison, i didn’t care that much about my Fred Again’s elimination last time but this one is just hitting a bit too hard especially given the circumstances. That being said, I apologize if my words were perceived as too harsh, this is never that serious. (I did warn everyone yesterday and Calum consented to being a piñata x)

FYI i will be salty until further notice. Although I’ve been on this forum for 20 years so y’all probably knew this would happen x

Rip to all the eliminated acts ☠️ and may the best non-ESL queen win the Gaga🐄 thingy.

I remembered about one band from 2010 that I loved that would be perfect for this the other day, so I think I might go for it. I don’t have many option for this, surprisingly :’)

If Darin gets his chair stolen, there will be riots, sponsored by IKEA

I didn’t understand the reasons and in my opinion they didn’t make sense. Yes, it was frustrating but it’s a game on a forum and that’s how the cookie crumbled, it’s not that serious. You don’t have to be offended on their behalf and make such wild assumptions, however.

Omg lmao

I mean that would be interesting because otherwise knowing that all first 6 acts will always get the chair is a bit… anticlimactic

well, you do hate democracy

Yammywhammy won one round, I really don’t get the “they would’ve probably been eliminated soon” comments. They have some absolute bangers that were not used that would have gotten them through to the merge. It’s extremely disappointing that their fate was down to one person who coincidentally placed them last in the round prior but hey… diversity!!!

I vote to demote @Calum for this shenanigans eliminating the best act in the competition. All in the name of ✨diversity✨ of course. That’s why we have more than a half of acts from 20th century left. It’s giving drag race Mexico Latina royale.

Last ESL act from groups is out. Variety indeed.

Rosalia was the feature though x

Fontaines are also staying for sure. At the expense of New Order or yammywhammy probably :(

Oh wow Smooth Operator used already. I knew that one before for once

Good thing some of the groups are already sitting on those toilet looking chairs.

I’m obsessed with this picture

Oh myyyy

Just went out to pick up a couple of tantrums to inevitably throw later.

It’s definitely an album.

Oh my god why do these things keep starting without a notice this month x
