7GUsLvUvSu0 WOW. She absolutely killed that high belt near the end.

That's not unusual for this show to be honest. Most non-football fans are going to have that reaction to Grandfather Clock's reveal. I'd say Morten is considerably more well known, but that's maybe just because I love music and hate football. And yeah, I'm sticking to that first impression. I've listened again and I'm absolutely certain it's him. No doubt about it.

I was sure Viking sounded just like Morten Harket. He's Norwegian, so fits the Viking theme, and that higher register in his voice is so distinctive. I'm sure I could hear his tone in there. Matt Lucas is a very good guess for Bush Baby. If anyone has seen him in Les Miserables, it's not a million miles away from how he sounds there, but he's also an actor known for characters and voices, so he could quite easily throw us off the scent with a different voice each week. But some of the clues definitely fit with him. Harlequin is 100% Gabrielle. There's just no doubt about it. I had Blob as Lenny, just from the singing voice, but couldn't make the clues fit him, so Romesh is the one it seems. Also, Mel B should have stayed. I actually didn't think she sounded bad, despite her trying to change her voice and sing in a higher register than really suits her. I thought she did ok. Grandfather Clock should have gone.

Does make me laugh when it's suggested that Steps were some sort of novelty, niche 90s act. Those album sales are no joke. They were a force. And to still be legitimately in contention for number 1 albums 20+ years into their career is incredible, with arguably some of their strongest material too.

Under My Skin went top 15, but didn't break the top 10. I'd be surprised if this one went top 20 though. It's by far the weakest of the 4 songs so far. I definitely wouldn't have gone with this one as the last buzz track before the album.

Steps know their days of high charting singles are behind them. They did amazingly well to get Scared of the Dark into the top 40. It's a good look for them to consistently get their songs high on the sales charts though, and as others have said, bagging that iTunes number 1 is great promo for the album pre-order. It would be nice if they could do that with 2 songs from this album.

If Ed Sheeran had announced a change to the pronoun he wanted to use from now on, then yes I would. But, as he hasn't, that's not a comparable situation. I wasn't disrespectful about pointing it out. I specifically said "in case you've missed that". I appreciate that anyone who doesn't follow Sam or their social presence, might genuinely be unaware of it, so it was just a reminder. There was no attempt to start a debate, but given that it has already been specifically mentioned in this thread, it's not unreasonable to correct someone when they make the mistake.

It's "their", not "his", just in case you've missed that.

I'm kind of aghast that Strong Enough is top 2. I had no idea it was so loved. It's not it for me. I'll happily sing along to it, but if someone who didn't know Cher asked me to recommend 20 songs to them, I wouldn't even remember to include it. I'm rediscovering Love & Understanding all over again at the moment. It's just got that classic 80s sound to it. So, so good.

Nope, not feeling this at all. It sucks all the life out of the song for me. For a Global Pride anthem, I'd expect something uplifting and celebratory. This is...not it.

Obviously, they're great singles, but I'm a bit meh at the top 3. How could I Found Someone miss out? That's a travesty. I'd say Believe probably deserves it purely because of what it achieved. That song will never die. But I can't listen to Turn Back Time anymore. It's just too overplayed. Not the song's fault, I know, but it's just tired sounding to me now. But Strong Enough? As much of a bop as it is, that's not a better song than at least 20 other singles on the list. One By One is one of her most underrated vocal performances. Ooft, has she ever sounded better? Maybe we're just totally spoiled for choice with Cher, but that's one seriously packed singles run. Holy jesus.

Is that from the Youtube official video? That doesn't make sense at all, it's on well over 200k views, all within this chart week. There's no way only 3k of them are UK views. No way. Not that it'd make a huge difference to their overall position, as it'd probably only equate to a couple of hundred extra sales. I'm really disappointed in those sales. We know they sold less than 2k last week, while they were iTunes number 1, as WAP sold 2k and was 3 spots higher on the sales chart. So, just over 4k sales in nearly a week? That's so low.

Oh I just saw one of the photos from the final days of filming. Massive potential but exciting spoilers...

You're talking about episode 2. It was pretty good. It's episode 3 that's god awful.

I'm just surprised they went for such a filler episode when the seasons are already so short. I'm hoping that's not a sign that there's not an awful lot of story to tell this time. It just made no sense to set up what they did at the end of season 2, only to then spend a whole episode focusing on

What the f**k was this week's episode? Absolute filler, and didn't even mention the major cliffhanger from episode 2. It served no purpose whatsoever. If you removed this episode from the whole season, it would make absolutely no difference whatsoever. I'm so confused.

I'd love Sine From Above but I've got a feeling it won't get the single treatment. I think they'll go with Sour Candy, which is one of my least favourites, but I can understand why they'd go with it. I need an other-worldly, ethereal and visually stunning video for that. The imagery is right there in the lyrics. I'll be devastated if it's only an album track. Being stuck towards the end of the album, it won't pick up as many casual listens, and it'll be forever under-appreciated. "Yeah, I looked With my face up to the sky But I saw nothing there No, no, nothing there Yeah, I stared While my eyes filled up with tears But there was nothing there No, no, nothing I heard one sine from above I heard one sine from above Then the signal split in two The sound created stars like me and you Before there was up, there was silence I heard one sine And it healed my heart, heard a sine" Honestly, the absolute excellence in this lyric/melody combo is stunning, and is one of my favourite things she has EVER done. And the harmony when they both sing it the second time - woo lord. Album highlight.

Season 5 is already confirmed.

It took me two attempts to get through the first season, about 3 months apart. I just didn't get it the first time. But for whatever reason, it just clicked the second time and I rattled through it. What a fantastic little show. There was so much to love and so many moments that melted my heart. And rarely have I seen such a meme-worthy show. Catherine O'Hara with that accent is absolutely iconic. Moira Rose is now one of my favourite characters ever. She uttered some dialogue that, on paper, sounds absolutely preposterous, but worked wildly well. My two absolute favourite scenes are Patrick singing Simply The Best to David, and then David lip syncing for his life to Patrick. I normally hate people singing to their loved ones like that - cringe - but, my god, it was so pure. And Dan Levy was an absolute hoot. The facial expressions, the reactions, the coming timing - what a star. What a brilliant show.

This is incredible. I love everything about it. The absolute deadpan faces have me screaming. It's just genius. Live performance is good too. I don't want them to change anything. I want those outfits and that staging for the actual show. Although I'm aware they'll need to lose someone as it's 6 people max on stage. KzeynKQiEE4

Same, just fully mastered.

Enjoyed this, as expected. So it's 100% Nicola for the Bee. Her voice is unmistakable and even through the distortion you could hear the accent. But her singing voice is so distinct, it just is her. Also, someone on Twitter picked up the clue about being called a wildcard - Nicola was apparently brought back as a wildcard on Popstars.

Just heard Alanis' new song. It's pretty dull. She still sounds roughly the same to me. But she stole that whole piano riff from the opening note onwards, from Lady Gaga's Look What I Found. It's not even subtle. I heard it within 2 seconds. It's almost identical.

I'm still watching because it's easy, leave your brain at the door, stuff. But jesus wept this is tragic. Martin and Vinnie are beyond dreadful. And I don't know what other people are hearing in Jenny's voice as it's going right through me. She literally shouts like she's dropped her larynx so much that it's giving this weird possessed sound. There's no tuning or melody in there, it's so awful. Kevin impressed me hugely last week, after being underwhelmed by him. He brought it in a big way. Megan and V5 are also brilliant. Victoria was absolutely robbed.

I'd prefer Sammie to have just aligned with Georgina. If only for the drama seeing as she's also trying to figure out who the catfish are. Or even better, get properly in with Woody etc and take them down from within. But also because I'm not overly fond of Paddy, who will no doubt go zero to 100 in 3 seconds next time he has an opportunity to be snide to someone in group chat. Sammie has played the game really well. He came in prepared and he hasn't dropped the ball when it comes to the answers he's given. I'm also still finding him hilarious in his reaction moments. And I do like Ella and Woody as people, I'm just bored of the giant love-in now. It's really not interesting to watch them constantly tell each other how amaaaaaaaaazing they are. I want gameplay and tactics. And Tim can get in the bin now after Thatcher.
