I knew I could count on you Addy! A lot of us going for 4th place eeeek!

Thanks vibe for the 12 also! Yay top 10! It could still go a few ways!

Omg thanks Cody! ❤️

Thank you Calum! 🙏Hoping to finish top 10 at this point lol.

Diana coming! Thanks for the points Herbs!

Thank you Roba!! ❤️

Oooh now this sounds promising!

I’m too busy playing Attention, Boy Crazy and Red Flag in high rotation to give anything else a chance yet. I do like Too Hard though!

The show is really thriving at the moment! Love that the new exec is building up the Brannings and Slaters again. I want to see returns for Tanya, Sam and Ben next!

Is anyone else watching? 👀 I'm LOVING it. It's basically a Love Is Blind meets Popstars: The Rivals type format with about 50 contestants in individual pods and they can hear each other perform, phone each other and build their own bands based on chemistry. Each band has to have between 3-5 members and the first 6 bands to be formed move on to the next stage. The series features AJ McLean as host and Nicole Scherzinger as main mentor to the groups. Kelly Rowland and Liam Payne (RIP ) also appear as judges in the latter stages. *SPOILERS AHEAD ABOUT EPISODES 1 - 7* My ranking of the final 6 bands: Soulidified. - 100% the alpha boyband. Landon alone will have the gays and girls assembling let's be real. Their chemistry seems so natural and they all seem like decent guys. Big potential SZN 4. - really have potential to become a vocal powerhouse quartet. I love their unconventional dynamic. Like it shouldn't work but it does. 3QUENCY. - love the fact two of the girls met each other as kids, have to admit I wasn't super excited by them at first but their showcase performance got me on board! Dark horses! SWEET SEDUCTION. - very on the fence! I love the bratty, give-zero-****s vibe they are going for and their vocals are insane both individually and together BUT the group cohesion just isn't there atm. And as funny as Alison can be, she's too self-serving to be in a group and I feel sorry for the other two girls at this point. I wish the girl hitting all the big notes actually joined the other two girls Alison turned down to form the final group. SIREN SOCIETY. - I like them! I don't think I've actively rooted for any of the members yet unlike the other girl groups but their performance of Don't Cha made me pay attention. MIDNIGHT 'TIL MORNING. - sorry I don't like the little guy who's trying too hard to be a rockstar. It comes off arrogant and entitled. The band have zero chemistry also. Looking forward to seeing how it all turns out and if any of them can go on to have success after the show!

It looks like there’s a savage dumping tonight! Praying it’s Harrison! 🙏

Funny that because Mango is the only one I’ve predicted correctly. 😂 (though not sure what my thought process was there). Thanks to those of you who’ve given Danity Kane points so far! It really would’ve smashed back in 2008 if pushed in the UK! Edit: just realised I got Wardy right too!

“just signed a new record deal and was preparing for her debut album.“

None of my predictions are right so far. 😅

I have a sneaky feeling Lauren Alaina could win this. 👀

Looking forward to seeing the outcome of this. Absolutely loved the theme!

Anyone Of Us is so nostalgic to me. Definitely Gareth’s best song imo.

Best new series of the year IMO and I doubt it will be topped!

Finally on iPlayer! https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m002g6bf/trnsmt-2025-jade edit: only half of it is. 😞

Version [3,898,132] BOY CRAZY now her 4th most popular song on Spotify! Fantasy overtakes Frozen after a month behind! Angel SAD version is now 100k away from 4 million! It will probably drop out the top 10 before it gets there due to Gossip coming.

HYPE! No idea who will take this tbh.

Also, meant to add to earlier post, Girlfriend was also definitely a possibility but I feared it was maybe too divisive for this contest (despite being arguably her biggest hit lol). Keep Holdin’ On was also SO close to making the cut in the final but I didn’t want 2 ballads to represent Avril. 😅 I guess time will tell whether or not I live to regret this decision. 😋

I have to admit I wasn’t totally set on Take Me Away as the final song but I wanted to showcase an album track at some point and the best time probably would’ve been the third round (when I used When You’re Gone) but I got PTSD from the bloodbath second round. Tbh there was a shortlist of other songs I was toying with using also: Keep Holdin’ On Knocking’ On Heaven’s Door Fall to Pieces Together My World Everything Back But You Alice But I soon realised the crazy strong competition I was up against so decided to play it safer. 😋 Hopefully everyone can give Take Me Away a few plays to give it a chance. One of my favourite Avril tracks! ❤️🙏

Congrats qualifiers! Can’t complain at 6th in this. Thanks to all who sent votes my way! ❤️
