So many familiar names in Semi 1. Is this Chloe Qisha's BJSC debut? excited to hear this one of hers.

Definitely American Idiot for me. Never particularly liked Love Machine (The Show is so much better imo) and always found Call On Me too repetitive.

Hey I stan I Really Miss You I'm an ally! Natural is a bit too 'cute album track' for me.

I probably would have just swapped Natural for a Bring The House Down/I'll Keep Waiting double A-side.

CHART BATTLE REWIND 2004 time and our first three-way battle: Eric Prydz released his soundtrack to that iconic music video the same week Girls Aloud were aiming to score their sixth straight hit with Love Machine, a song they happily admit to hating at first. Green Day were also contenders with their first new music in 4 years, the politically charged American Idiot. Call On Me won the battle and went on to claim the top spot for 5 weeks(!), while Girls Aloud settled for a 4th (and 3rd consecutive) #2 hit. Green Day, while only placing at #3, scored a career best and it still remains their only top 3 hit. But which is your number one? Vote above. Other chart battles: Kelly Clarkson vs Taylor Swift Timbaland vs Mark Ronson Alexandra Burke vs Robbie Williams Cascada vs Michael Jackson Geri Halliwell vs blink-182 The Shapeshifters vs Rachel Stevens Christina Aguilera vs DJ Sammy Atomic Kitten vs Destiny's Child Rage Against The Machine vs Joe McElderry

If JoJo or Danny win, they’d become the 4th LGBTQ BB/CBB winner back-to-back! (maybe 5th… I can’t remember the last C5 series). Also loving the fact THE Tiffany Pollard is on L&L for a whole week!

Patsy is a great bet at 33/1. I see a lot of love for her online for being unintentionally funny (especially with the Trish nom). I see her as an easy finalist and a possible winner tbh.

Want: Jack - he brings absolutely zero entertainment. Think: Trisha - I think both Jack and Patsy have their fanbases whereas I’m not so sure with Trisha.

JoJo - (2-2-1-2-1-1-1-) Danny - (1-1-2-1-2-2-2-) Donna - (5-8-4-5-4-3-3-) Patsy - (4-5-7-6-5-5-4-) Chris - (6-3-3-3-3-4-5-) Chesney - (7-10-9-12-11-8-6-) Trisha - (3-4-6-7-7-6-7-) Daley - (9-11-12-11-10-9-8-) Angelica - (8-9-8-10-9-7-9-) Jack - (10-12-10-13-12-10-10-) Ella - (11-13-11-8-8-11-11-) Evicted: 12th. Mickey - (13-7-13-9-6-) 13th. Michael - (12-6-5-4-) -x- My top 5 are probably on lock as I can't see any of the others breaking through unless by default. Ella needs to go asap.

Really hoping Jack will go from the nominees. Patsy is such a queen and Trisha although too much is at least providing something. Jack always looks like he'd rather be anywhere but there. Shame Ella wasn't up. She's a total ick.

Semis imminent? 👀

CUNTISSIMO

Ooh this is a tough one! Both are very enjoyable! (Totally forgot about that Amelie cover until now) Went for Amerie. Listening to it now, it’s aged really well. Steps’ cover, while great, doesn’t deviate as much from the original.

Oooooooh.. this came sooner than expected!

Right! The way she spoke about Chris not giving her attention really icked me. Came across very entitled. The Chris and JoJo thing could become messy but not entirely sure what their intentions are. The way Chris was looking at JoJo during the task was soooo flirtatious.

JoJo - (2-2-1-2-1-1-) Danny - (1-1-2-1-2-2-) Donna - (5-8-4-5-4-3-) Chris - (6-3-3-3-3-4-) Patsy - (4-5-7-6-5-5-) Trisha - (3-4-6-7-7-6-) Angelica - (8-9-8-10-9-7-) Chesney - (7-10-9-12-11-8-) Daley - (9-11-12-11-10-9-) Jack - (10-12-10-13-12-10-) Ella - (11-13-11-8-8-11-) Evicted: 12th. Mickey - (13-7-13-9-6-) 13th. Michael - (12-6-5-4-) The top 7 can stay. The bottom 4 can leave asap.

Is Chris flirting with JoJo? 👀

4th week at #2 this year! And nearly 300 posts again!

JLo

The Diddler. Hoping Will Young does well in this as Who Am I is such an underrated gem and didn’t deserve to be the song that broke his top 10 streak.

Andreas now! Just happy to be voting for another song now Bob is out the way.

CHART BATTLE REWIND Now for a truly iconic battle! Anti-X Factor sentiment was already growing by its fifth series in 2008, when champion Alexandra Burke's Hallelujah was challenged for that year's Christmas number one by Jeff Buckley's more credible version. While Alexandra managed to beat Jeff, the following year's winner Joe McElderry faced stronger opposition from an almighty Facebook campaign pushing to get Rage Against The Machine's apt 1992 song Killing In The Name to Christmas #1, and blocking X Factor from dominating the festive chart for a fifth consecutive year. Joe's offering was a cover of Miley's hit from the previous year, The Climb. In the end, it was of course Rage Against The Machine that won, selling over 500,000 copies in one week to get the 2009 Christmas number one! But which is your number one? Vote above. Other chart battles: Kelly Clarkson vs Taylor Swift Timbaland vs Mark Ronson Alexandra Burke vs Robbie Williams Cascada vs Michael Jackson Geri Halliwell vs blink-182 The Shapeshifters vs Rachel Stevens Christina Aguilera vs DJ Sammy Atomic Kitten vs Destiny's Child

BRING BACK MICHAEL

I am SO ready for this! And yes, hottest album cover EVER! The song titles sound very intriguing on the most part - Mr. Electric Blue, Mystical Magical and Young American Heart especially!
