    Glad this is finally doing something! With some Radio 1 support (Capital have already been playing it quite a lot seemingly) and maybe a BGT performance at some point, this should blast into the Top 10 <3

    NOT ASKING MUCH

    apologies for the nokia gprs -4 signal quoting:

     

    Grace released the single "You Don't Own Me" in early 2015, her first single with RCA Records. The song is a remake of the 1963 Leslie Gore classic, originally produced by Quincy Jones.[7]Grace recorded the song with G-Eazy, with Quincy Jones returning to co-produce the track.[8] The song became a top 10 viral track on Spotify in April 2015,[9] and debuted at number 14 on the ARIA Singles Chart in May 2015.[10] It is part of her debut album scheduled for release in spring 2015.[7] She co-wrote a track for the album with Fraser T Smith which features additional writing and production contributions from Parker Ighile, Diane Warren, and Quincy Jones.[11]

    what's everyone been doing today? i've just come back shopping from oxford street :o

    it's another bloody terrible single. soupy as f*** ripping on 'halo' and just so unimportant and insecure. she looks like an off-colour jenny frost in the video.

     

    the perfect film title for her to be providing a soundtrack single :')

    apparently this lass featured on a song about a koala bear last year but i'm not sure. either way she's britain's answer to ariana grande both in terms of looks and pipes.

     

    this is her debut single produced by shift key and i think it is very good. what do you think?

    yes this song has been kicking around forever but it finally has a video and some plans for a proper release. this meanders close to the line of mor and boring for me but somehow inexplicably i still like it. soundtrack it to some beige electronics ad and be done with it!

     

     

    one of those songs that sits around gathering dust and then all of a sudden is a hit who knows? i don't

    i'd argue that 'somebody' isn't a beige run of the mill rnb song by an measure.

     

    it's a v unusual combination sampling a mega hit ('i wanna dance with somebody') and then having a guest male sing the chorus and natalie do the verses. it breaks the traditional pop formula on its head, couple that with an unusual song structure, a very current trap beat as well as a video with fabulous dancing and being somewhat onpoint.

     

    it's odd how much this song has captivated my work place and particularly natalie saying her name. i'm hearing it everywhere now too.

     

    tho most of all i'm most intrigued to hear what single number two sounds like

    I see your point, but statistically the 18 point system and 12 point systems are practically the same when it comes to the chance you like enough songs to fill your points places.

     

    When we use the 12 point system, the final usually contained around 28 songs. With 10 points places up for grabs, this means you had to vote for 35.7% of the songs in the final.

    When we use the 18 point system, the final in this instance contained 42 songs. With 15 points places up for grabs, this equals the exact same percentage as you have to vote for 35.7% songs in the final.

     

    So while I completely understand your point that it seems for some people that the increase in points places could result in more filler votes, statistically the 18 point system for 42 songs means we vote for exactly the same proportion of songs as we did with the 12 point system for 28 songs. Admittedly it did increase to 30 or 31 songs in the last year or so but it's very small margins.

    nowhere in life though babe, when you up the number of entries do you see an increase in quality.

     

    we've all managed to whittle our votes down to 12 in the past. with more people it's simply a higher stakes game and more people will lose out but that's called a competition where the best go forward and the worst go out. trying to be more encompassing risks diluting the competition quality.

    i am all for embracing change and don't need some psychological framework to tell me the reason i am not liking this change has nothing to do with logic but something inherent going on in my brain; it's quite patronising tbh

     

    i simply do not necessarily like 18 songs per final, there is no real difference between awarding 15 or 17 points. i'm sure i'm not the only one that feels that way. bloated in a nut shell.

     

    if i don't like 18 songs in a final do i still have to award something points to even things out fleshing out my votes or can i cut off my votes earlier. surely awarding stuff you don't like points defeats the purpose of this competition and gives the results a dishonest and unreflective taint?
