Pleased about Slovenia - hopefully this will be reflected in the real thing. I think it's under-estimated.

Cher "Believe" is a dance track in the sense that it draws vague influences from Eurodance and has a BPM relative to a standard dance track, but that is it. IMO if you include "Believe" then really a whole host of other would-be singles would need to be considered.

I agree - ATB 9pm was naff at the time and sounds ten times worse in 2014. There was so much better trance tracks at time that didn't come anywhere near as big as this, such as Veracocha "Carte Blanche" and System F "Out Of The Blue" but, still, joe public get it spectacularly wrong quite often! Anyway, another stellar piece of work from Gezza - nice one!

My twitter feed is a wash with positive feedback about Mollys first rehearsal, barring some tech problems with the in ear piece. Will be interesting to see if her odds change soon...

She NEEDS a decent draw, ideally last 5.

Mollys geographical knowledge is rather shocking.

Wooooh! Molly has just re-tweeted my pic outside Old Trafford! Proper made up!

Molly is now at No. 132 and 181 in the itunes chart... it's a start.

Yep - just needs to get rid of that bloody tutu!

Lithuania have delivered a great track this year, the hate it's managed to yield is a tad unfair... now watch it qualify in on Thursday 8th!

Hmmm, never got the hysteria with "Better Off Alone", not a particularly bad track... but not particularly good either. I suppose it was a simple, catchy trance track which bridged the pop and trance well. Don't like "Firestarter". Infact, I've never really liked the rock/electronic fusion that was big in the 90s. Much prefer their early rave days os 91 and 92. "Breathe" is better. Also cannot bare "Rhythm Is A Dancer" either... this chart would've been much better upside down!!

.... And Armenia LAST!!!

Fantastic for Keisza... however I bought it off beatport.com a month earlier. Ridiculously late release, could've been even bigger.

I like it too! Lithuania usually go against the grain, often in a bad way, but will be interesting to see how this does. That bloody tutu needs to go though!

20 years on and still an absolute tune! Bastille can f*** off!

I love the 90s italio house sound that was championed by Alex Party/Livin Joy.

UURRRGH I f***ing hate this!

Sounds about right. "Insanity" epitomises the sort of dance music popular in the North West - hands in the air riffs, crowd noise samples etc. I used to DJ for a few years near Liverpool and dance music in the All Around The World label was the order of the day.

2013 has more highlights but much more dross. 2014 has less highlights but MUCH less dross.... Personally I consider 2010 as a particularly woeful year. I only recall liking 2 entries from that year.

Manchester 2015 would be perfect... I could walk it... ish. How lovely it is to say such things and be actually be a distinct possibility!

Very cool indeed!

Shaft... what a load of old tosh that was! I think I was annoyed how much of a bigger hit this was compared to the proper ibiza anthems from the same time like Paul Johnson and Moloko. I guess it had the novelty factor. Scatman John... I havent heard that since when it was probably last in the charts. Absolutely bizarre!

Absolute beast of a tune, my favourite KLF track by some distance.

Remember this getting released when I was just 12 and popping into my local Woolies in Stockport - they had a policy where every new release was never more than £1.99! 18 years on and now in my 30s, I still absolutely adore it... even just that little bit more than "Dreamer", which is still a seminal track.

I think the jury vote will give it the vital push for a place on Saturday. It's not the sort of thing I would listen to out of choice but I think this is one of the stronger entries this year.
