Naked! The Live in Istanbul performance will forever be engrained in my mind.

01 ABBA - Chiquitita thank you ABBA mentor for playing this! utterly gorgeous track and quite possibly my ultimate ABBA fave. LOVE IT! 02 ROSALÍA - Mio Cristo Piange Diamanti her vocals are stunning here! Favourite discovery of the week! Love it! 03 Atomic Kitten - The Last Goodbye so happy this got chosen - the Kittens were at their best during their second era imo. 04 Kelly Clarkson - Piece By Piece (Idol Version) I love the rawness of this. The American Idol performance wrecked me at the time. 💔 05 Scissor Sisters - Mary another strong choice from the Scissor Sisters! Hope this fares better for them than She's My Man. 🙏 06 Lily Allen - Pussy Palace strong track from Lily! Love the storytelling here (as with all of WEG). 07 Chappell Roan - Casual solid choice from Chappell! 08 Conan Gray - Forever With Me really liking this. The chorus is especially great! 09 Delta Goodrem - Not Me, Not I really like this one too. 10 HAIM - Gasoline not one of my fave HAIM choices but tbf the bar has been set very high. Still a great track though. 11 David Bowie - Five Years I don't dislike it, just difficult to compete with the rest in this round for me. 12 Florence + the Machine - Cosmic Love I feel like I should like this more than I do but I don't have an urge to listen to it again, sorry. 13 Troye Sivan feat. Betty Who - HEAVEN not a fan of this, sorry.

Thank you for the points Matto!

That’s what me and my OH did tbf. Loved the film too!

Thanks for all the points so far for Lost Cool! I discovered it via looking at The Substance soundtrack (thinking surely that film had something suitable for this contest lol) - I can’t remember where in the film it was used mind.

Off zero yay!

Charli has two completely different songs called Sympathy Is A Knife.

Oh no I gave Taahino 8 points at the last minute instead of 10! Sorry Taahinians!

We are not safe indeed with Ojnoj in the final.

What other biggies are still to be announced? I've lost count.

Ojnoj will be there surely!
