No thanks. How can you make this song so...lifeless? zTWXhNH40ws

Better Best Forgotten for me. I've been voting for that for ages. It's just...there. Doesn't hold a candle to most of their other singles.

Stomp for me. It's a cute bop for sure but Future is a solid gold BANGER.

Oh yeah :lol: I wasn't remembering the challenge properly. Yeah, he just messed it up for himself then.

I thought about that but wasn't the challenge to make it look like themselves? I'm sure production wouldn't have allowed that to happen. And then even if it did, it'd probably still have made everyone a bit suspicious. It was just an unfair task, designed specifically to get Emily out as a solo player. I'm not at all thrilled with Courtney slithering his way to the final. He's so unpleasant. I'd really grown to like Khat and Mitchell so I'd have liked them to have made it. Khat did play her cards too early with Chloe though.

Old Steps were exactly who they needed to be and I loved them at the time. But I don't enjoy watching those old performances as much now, when I've seen new Steps out there absolutely killing it in live performances. I'll take that any day. The old material is still great, but I'll take new Steps performing it. It also helps that they're releasing some of the best material of their career. They've just finished their finest 4 single run ever.

I can't believe someone thinks Experienced is a better song than Love U More. Or literally any of the other options to be quite honest. That song is a stain. It should be forgotten about and never mentioned again.

I totally get that he was lacking in research, so definitely could have saved a little face if he'd been able to answer the make up question in the "Don't @ Me" game. But a book full of research isn't going to help him actually be able to apply make up, so he was never getting out of that unscathed. Even to the point of having JVN judge that challenge. He exposed Lance because of the way the wig was cut. It just feels like too much of what happens is not in the player's control. They could be playing the best game of everyone, but one challenge where the odds are so obviously stacked against them is all it takes to put them out. Oh my god!! I'd have lived for that. I've got zero interest in Emily and Lance teaming up though. You're right, they've got this all backward. Terilisha had the most obvious potential to be dynamite TV, so going out of their way to make sure she got blocked was such a weird move.

Can't stand Courtney but was enjoying Terilisha, so am gutted she's blocked. The games and twists annoy me sometimes. They're set up to specifically expose or get rid of certain players and there's nothing they can do about it. It makes the favouritism and fixed aspect of it very obvious. That mannequin makeover challenge would obviously expose someone who hasn't put on make up before, so "Emily" had no way of escaping that. And obviously giving Courtney the power to speak anonymously to the newbies would allow him to target Terilisha and Emily without them knowing anything is going on. It's a bit unfair when it results in people being blocked just because someone else was gifted a massive advantage for no reason whatsoever. And all of it comes at the expense of the players interacting properly with each other. I'd like to see more of that. I like to see them figuring out who they like/dislike or who is real/who isn't on their own, with some fun games thrown in, just not games that completely shift the power unnecessarily.

I've been to an uncountable amount of gigs in my time, but Party on the Dancefloor was one of my favourite pop shows ever. It was such a triumph, it totally floored me. The vocals were outstanding and Steve's new mixes of the old classics were the best they've ever sounded. I'll forever be sad we never got the studio version of Love U More 2017.

Waterloo vs Ring Ring I Do I Do I Do I Do I Do vs SOS Mamma Mia vs Fernando Dancing Queen vs Money Money Money Knowing Me Knowing You vs The Name Of The Game Take A Chance On Me vs Summer Night City Chiquitita vs Does Your Mother Know Angel Eyes vs Voulez Vous Gimme Gimme Gimme vs I Have A Dream The Winner Takes It All vs Super Trouper Lay All Your Love On Me vs One Of Us Head Over Heels vs The Day Before You Came Under Attack vs Thank You For The Music I'm sad that Angel Eyes is losing in this round. It's an underrated masterpiece. But there's just no bad songs here. Apart from Thank You For The Music.

I can't call this one. They edited it so well, it could go either way. I've got a feeling Syed is more likely to back down under pressure and get rid of Andy. I couldn't tell if Manrika's devastation at the end was genuine (suggesting a Dot blocking) or not, but it did look real. Urgh, either way, I agree that it feels rotten for one of these 5 to go while "Tom" and "Alice" swoop in at the last minute and are immune.

Ah right enough. Does that "must have released an album" rule only apply to the British artist categories? Because there's definitely other nominations that didn't release an album last year.

Gaga getting snubbed in International Female, despite a number 1 single, top 5 single and number 1 album. Yet Billie Eilish is nominated? Ok. Fairly surprised Harry isn't up for British Male too.

Can't see them not blocking Gemma, but it could also be Vithun, now that they see he's not popular either. What is Manrika hoping to achieve by blocking Gemma though? Gemma has outwardly expressed support for Manrika, so you'd think that keeping an ally around would serve her better. At least until it was time to make a play for the win. But if Gemma is blocked, everyone else will see that Manrika has now had a hand in both of her "Geezer Girls" being booted. So, her gameplaying and lack of loyalty will be crystal clear. Vithun already clocked her for getting Tally blocked, so if Gemma's next, it couldn't be more obvious. It's pretty wild to see Manrika have such an intense hatred for Gemma because she thinks that Gemma is doing all this scheming behind her back. When in reality, it's Manrika that painted the snake picture and is gunning for Gemma, while Gemma still thinks they have each other's backs.

It absolutely dominated the box office at the weekend, with over $120 million internationally. China was here for it. It'll be interesting to see what numbers it does in the US. The pandemic box office bar is fairly low, but I'm expecting it to do big things, even with the HBO Max release.

Yeah, when I say she's being awful, I wasn't specifically referring to the Tally vote. It's her overall attitude and the way she's handling herself in general that's so unappealing. Take the Gemma situation for example. Granted, Gemma isn't real, so there's no real feelings to be hurt. But the way she's talking about her (calling her a b***h etc) is just so weird. There's a real intense nastiness about it, and it's just pretty gross. I don't see why that's something to be celebrated.

Confused at the love for Manrika, with the reasoning that she's "playing the game". We've seen plenty other people play the Circle game a lot better than her but not be absolute arseholes too. Syed for example. Also seeing a lot of people declare how they're team Manrika because Tally is so gullible, yet ignoring the fact that Manrika's #CircleBoyfriend is a woman who is playing her like a damn fiddle. Make it make sense please. I wasn't a fan of Tally, but I saw a different side of her tonight. That last shot of her crying was sad, especially when she hasn't actually done anything wrong to anyone in there, but she has no idea that it was a tactical vote that landed her at the bottom, not that people dislike her. I'm all for people playing the game, but I can't get any enjoyment out of watching Manrika be genuinely awful about it. Syed/Hashu for the win.

I mean, Bucky was a villain and is a straight up murderer, so the optics aren't great there. Giving him it wouldn't make any sense when Sam's right there. I do still feel like Sam is one of the least interesting characters, but I'm willing to have my mind changed by the show.

Honestly, for me, this song doesn't come anywhere close to competing with those 3 though. Just not a patch on them, in terms of melody, structure or vocals. Particularly Guy and John's songs/performances. I wish I had confidence that James could deliver a rousing performance of this, but I'm yet to see any charisma or performance ability from him. This song is going to need some spectacular staging to make an impact.

It's not a bad song, but I absolutely detest the vocal production on it. His vocal take is so dry and pushed so far forward, it's so separated from the backing track. And in the chorus, the double tracking of his vocal is messy and you can hear the other track clipping off the end of words before the lead vocal does. It's really annoying. Suspect it's more noticeable with headphones and hopefully something a live performance will sort out. Though I have other concerns about James being able to give this the energy it will need on stage.

Yes. For anyone else who is still on the fence about Viking, here's him singing that exact version of the song: -xKM3mGt2pE He's just playing with them, because they're not even close to guessing him. If they don't get it when he sang his own song, they're not getting him at all.

She was my favourite too. Her overall performance was brilliant!! Her facial expressions were amazing, and she had such good natural rhythm on the ice. She deserved to be top of the votes, so that result is outrageous. I can only hope that she's up against a real idiot next week, because if she's first to go I'll be so annoyed.
