I don’t think Rep TV is coming. She said in that letter that she’s only done about a quarter of it as it was specific to the time and she kept getting stopped by things surrounding it. She said there will be a chance for the REP Vault tracks to emerge if we wanted it. I think she’ll still release Debut though as that is apparently finished and she loves how she sounds on it now and tbh, I think Debut will be a very interesting listen now with her more experienced and mature vocals! I think that’s what’s always motivated me to want Debut TV more than Rep TV…

LorQueen. ‘Euphoria’ which is 13 years old. My next favourite is 22 this year. ‘Everytime’ by Britney.

Pretty sure Kylie will be walking right past us… oh my God…

WHAT A MOMENT FOR HER!! I’M SO SO HAPPY FOR HER. GUILT-FREE LISTENS. Alexa play I’m Only Me When I’m With You!

The listenable version of it, yes. I prefer 'Lost Your Faith' but this is indeed a bop. (I'm sorry!!!! I find Gaga's 'Stupid Love' grating! </3)

01 Prelude > Such a great intro kind of track. Packs a big punch. < 02 Something Beautiful > Underrated. So, SO good. < 03 End Of The World > One of the songs of the year imo. SO good! < 04 More To Lose > This has hit me so much more in the context of the album. It's gorgeous. I unfairly dismissed it pretty quickly tbh. < 05 Interlude 1 > That final half of the song *.* Kinda wanted that to be the intro to another song! < 06 Easy Lover > Very good. The STRINGS!! Room to grow further as I'm not *loving* it atm... < 07 Interlude 2 > Controlled chaos in the BEST way. < 08 Golden Burning Sun > This could be a big fave of mine with repeated listens. It's LUSH! The last minute & a half!!!! OH MY!! THE PRODUCTION ALL THROUGHOUT BUT SPECIFICALLY THIS TRACK! < 09 Walk Of Fame (feat. Brittany Howard) > This is VERY Gaga in the absolute BEST WAY POSSIBLE. AND I MEAN THAT. OHHHHH THIS IS THE ONE!!! < 10 Pretend You're God > It's good but one I'm less inclined to revisit outside of the album. < 11 Every Girl You've Ever Loved (feat. Naomi Campbell) > Brilliant! So catchy and the production again is... *chef's kiss*! < 12 Reborn > I like moments of this but unsure of others. But what I do like, I LOVE. The final 2 minutes are wonderful! < 13 Give Me Love > A really appropriate and beautiful ending to make the album feel truly "full circle"! Mesmerizing. < What an incredible body of work. The production is outstanding! One of the "most complete" albums I've heard in a while. It just WORKS as an album. That 2nd half is truly another level to the (still great) first half! 'Walk Of Fame' is my immediate standout but much love to 'Every Girl You've Ever Loved' in particular too! The last minute and a half of 'Golden Burning Sun' is the HIGHLIGHT off the entire album.

I enjoy the Michael Rice song! The perfect example of where beige is good for me!!!! He has a great voice too.

Ngl I did think this when I first saw the announcement lmao!

You sure about that? It's definitely bottom half of the pack for me, too! I find it offensively beige! AND I DON'T MIND BEIGE!!!

Mary J. Blige - F For You 20 Bob Dylan - The Times They Are A-Changin’ Bob Dylan may be one of the greatest songwriters ever, but I cannot STAND his voice :( It's so whiny and piercing to me </3 That Elton song is pretty annoying and always has been. Idk if spiceboy has plans to use 'I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues' at any point, but I adore that song so I'd like to see if that gets used at some point! PSB aren't really for me either and Ellie I am definitely a song by song basis for her (but even then I'd say it's only a handful I truly like!) and I've never liked 'Lights' </3 SASAMI continuing to be a wonderful discovery for me. Quite a solid selection on the whole tbh! A-ha was a nice surprise. Felt very 80's movie soundtrack to me.

SASAMI has been a big discovery for me. I think ‘Slugger’ may be my fave of the two I have heard through this contest! SO GOOD!

I don't think it'd look bad at all, personally. I think JADE (as well as both Leigh & Perrie themselves) would see it as a wonderful thing for exposure that they never got a chance to experience together, despite fully deserving of being at Glastonbury during the prime of their careers.

Not surprised at that 1-2. Kinda surprised ‘Phoenician Scheme’ got as high as 4 though.

I wish ‘He Like That’ was a huge smash because I’d love to see it represented in a contest like this! It’s my fave 5H song I think! But it’s too much of a risk to send I think 😩 If you take that risk, great!!! Likely to get high points from me. But idkkkk.

Hope you enjoy! You’re likely going to get to experience the S.A.D version of Angel Of My Dreams, LIVE!!! Jealous!

BBC NewsWhat we know about the Liverpool FC parade incidentA 53-year-old white British man has been arrested after dozens of people were hit by a car.This happened on Monday during a Liverpool FC Parade. Shocking and really scary! 65 confirmed casualties. 50 were treated in hospital & 11 remained in hospital but in stable conditions (thankfully). But ofc the far right don't really care about the injured and those who are still in the hospital. All they care about is that the suspect has been named and that it's announced to be a White British man in a relatively quick time, so they weren't allowed to share misinformation again, cause havoc on the streets, racially abuse people & target mosques and shops in looted attacks, just like they did with the Southport attacks. They're seemingly angrier at the Police for announcing the suspect and his race in quick time, than they are at the suspect for causing such an abhorrent and horrifying scene. Now, it's taking away from the actual horrifying events of the story.

Agreed with this entirely. I do like Louise's version but I like what India Shawn have done with their cover of 'Got Til It's Gone'.

Does this mean we're about to get some string versions of her songs? Omg if so!

Excited to get this on Friday (hopefully!)

I can’t find the tweet rn but JADE’s outfit at R1 Big Weekend was custom made to have the Tartan in the colours of the Trans Flag 😍

I've optimistically gone for a positive one, ofc. I went for "More likely than not"! I won't hold my breath for it (as it's never guaranteed) and I won't be disappointed if it doesn't happen, but I can't see it not happening tbh! I'm probably and most likely getting way too ahead of myself ofc, but it's fun to think about!

Will we be seeing some form of surprise Little Mix reunion during JADE's set at Glastonbury at the end of June? JADE has hinted at a couple of surprises for her Glastonbury set. Glastonbury is something the girls have NEVER done together, despite their incredible success and longevity as a girl group, JADE is the biggest mixer and has performed a Little Mix medley during her set at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend (and is very likely to keep it in for her festival slots). Glastonbury is a HUGE opportunity for JADE and I don't think she'll take it for granted and I really believe she could be bringing Leigh and Perrie to the stage for her Little Mix medley segment, to give exposure to what got JADE there in the first place. I just get the feeling that it's not lost on her that Little Mix never got that opportunity and would love to give them the exposure whilst she can... Ideally it would lead to Little Mix reuniting a couple of years later to headline the pyramid stage at Glastonbury as nostalgia will be HUGE for them in a few years and this would be perfect to "test the waters". THIS ISN'T CONFIRMED. IT'S NOT EVEN HINTED. THIS IS PURELY SPECULATION AND A FUN LITTLE POLL FOR US TO GET INVOLVED WITH.

The Wagner changes things doesn't it? :o Surely someone eliminated earlier on will be more likely to get chosen rather than someone later on who had several chances? Gonna be interesting to see how that plays out! Very exciting!

I have submitted mine for Round 2 also. It's not the "risk" I was thinking about, but hopefully it's enough to get me through as this is definitely the least confident I am with the "was a big hit single" batch!

Sad for Louise as she has a fair amount of bops to come. Her last album was a big surprise for me (I'm still yet to check out her latest one). Would loved to have seen what 'Stretch' could have done! Lemon Demon was a bit of a bop too. I also expected worse from YVA for some reason. -- Now I'm stuck... do I send the riskier choice now, or wait and see if I can get further first? EDIT: Also at THE GOLDEN WAGNER !! Idk what to doooooo
