I've not been a fan of Scarlett up to this point, but come on now, that lip sync was a slam dunk. She really performed that song well. It shouldn't have even been difficult to decide. I'd decided she was the winner about 20 seconds into it. What a terrible result.

I only just discovered this at the weekend so watched series 1 and I'm just 1 episode into series 2. It's incredible. The writing, the acting, the chemistry - everything is so perfect. Fleabag, Claire and stepmum are 3 amazing characters, all perfectly played. It's just so much fun watching everyone to catch all the little facial reactions - especially Olivia Colman. Queen of face acting. And the fourth-wall breaking is expertly done.

There are people who have heard her version and it's apparently very similar, aside from the vocals. The rumour was that it was a piano version at first, but someone later came out to say that wasn't true and it was just like the version we know now.

I'm slightly obsessed with this song. The chorus melody and harmonies are glorious. With epic staging, this could be a moment.

Ah yeah that's right, I had actually read that before. Still, it was close. I'd have loved to have heard Leona's take on it, but of course Beyonce's is brilliant.

Interesting that both Halo and Burn were shipped to Leona first, so she'd potentially have 3 in the top 5. I still prefer her version of Burn. The vocal is awesome. Gutted she never recorded Halo.

Hmmmm. I love the characters and Toy Story 3 is one of my favourite movies ever, but I'm not feeling hyped about this one. The last one ended so perfectly, I wanted them to just leave it there and maybe just do a few more of the short movies like The Land That Time Forgot or Toy Story of Terror, as they were amazing. There were parts of that trailer that looked like rehashes from the previous movies. I'm really disappointed that this isn't making me excited at all.

It's making me anxious that you've not seen any of the Avengers movies, or Thor. If you think GotG 2 is the best, oh wow you're in for a treat.

That Vox list...good god. Here's mine: {Placeholder for Avengers: Endgame - I'm optimistic} 01. Avengers: Infinity War 02. Thor: Ragnarok 03. Captain America: Civil War 04. The Avengers 05. Captain Marvel 06. Black Panther 07. Captain America: Winter Soldier 08. Guardians of the Galaxy 09. Spider-Man: Homecoming 10. Avengers: Age of Ultron 11. Ant-Man 12. Doctor Strange 13. Thor 14. Guardians of the Galaxy 2 15. Ant-Man and the Wasp 16. Iron Man 3 17. Thor: The Dark World 18. Iron Man 19. Iron Man 2 20. Captain America: The First Avenger 21. The Incredible Hulk

Me and my hubby are approved foster carers and we adopted our son when he was a baby, 5 years ago. From the point of view of the emotional impact, the movie was really great. It was so funny, and just well written. I liked the exaggerated support group (though it's actually not far from reality).

Season 2 finishes next week. It's really short. 4 hotels. The 2 highest scorers go through to a final. They get $10,000 to make improvements based on their feedback from the first stay. It's been good, albeit too short. The hotels have all had positives and negatives, but the 2 finalists really are pretty spectacular. The improvements the first one made with their cash injection really took it to another level. Looking forward to seeing the other finalist next week.

Stan's cameo was so sweet, especially that little knowing smile she gives him. And I loved the tribute in the opening Marvel logo into.

I largely agree with that list, but I'd move Ragnarok right up to the top 3. I friggin LOVE that movie. I'd watch it again before Black Panther (which is still amazing). I will be devastated if Endgame doesn't go straight to the top though. I have faith though.

I don't understand this view. She was being called out publicly for not addressing the situation. What should she have done in your opinion? Ignored it and stayed silent? She's a vocal campaigner against abuse - doing that would have undermined all the work she has done. She had to respond. And the only way to respond was to acknowledge that it was a bad decision on her part to have worked with him. The song had to come down. Even though the meaning of the song is deeper than the initial lyrics would suggest, the words "do what you want with my body" in a song featuring an accused, serial abuser is impossible to justify. Removing the song was her decision to make and it's really a no-brainer. I respect her for the well-worded, honest statement she put out.

God this was so good. Brie exceeded my expectations. Which is a weird thing to say about an Oscar winner, but I was slightly concerned she was going to be a bit cold and lacking personality. I absolutely loved her though. Everything was done so well, from the de-ageing effects on Fury and Coulson, to Goose, to Carol's powers. It was visually stunning. From the moment her suit changes to red and blue, it was balls to the wall epic. And I said this in the Endgame thread last week, but I suspected that Thanos would find a way to weaken her on their first meeting (maybe using the Power stone or something) and that absolutely MUST be true. Otherwise, she need only breathe on him and he's toast. She was an absolute powerhouse by the end of the movie - just imagine what she can do now, 20 years later.

I've seen part 1 and will watch part 2 tonight. It's a bit more....explicit than I expected. But then I've never read into the original case so I don't know how much detail was ever released. It's quite uncomfortable though.

It's looking very likely, yes. Their strong download numbers (approx 115k) and the fact that they increased hugely across all metrics will almost definitely swing it for them.

My guess after watching the 2nd trailer is that (after Tony records his message and thinks he's going to die) him and Nebula find a way to fix the ship, restore power and get back to earth. I think that's what the remaining Avengers are looking up to sky to see when they're standing outside the compound in the trailer. As for who's going to bite the big one, I can't see past I know this is just speculation on my part but I'll spoiler it anyway just so as not to upset anyone - I also think that Also (and finally) Even if that none of that actually comes to be, I honestly don't think I've ever been this excited for a movie. This is it. This is the movie event of my lifetime. I feel so invested in this universe and these characters - I'm going to be an emotional wreck.

Wow, I'd be shocked if it made number 1. It's still considerably behind on streaming, even though it's top 10 and has no radio support. The lead on iTunes is indeed monstrous, but paid for sales are so low I can't see that being the deciding factor. The spotify update today will be interesting. If they've closed the gap even more, then it really will be game on. Especially because the Youtube streaming numbers are really brilliant. I really hope they do it. What an amazing victory lap that would be.

I'm appalled at BoRhap winning Best Editing and Best Sound Mixing. There are plenty videos going around already to prove why that film looks like it was edited by a child with ADHD. It's an absolutely ridiculous winner. And sound mixing? For what? Playing some Queen tracks? What a joke.

I've never been a passenger on the SuBo hype train so I'm glad she didn't win. She can't hold a candle to any of the other singers that she was competing with. I did think it was being set up for her too and that would have been an awful result. And as for Darci, I don't know why I'm so overly critical of her. I feel so mean, she's so young. But I could see her mouth moving A LOT, especially during the last results show. There are better ventriloquists out there - she just doesn't do it for me. She's a bit too family friendly maybe. Some of the adult ventriloquists can perform more interesting material. I just find Darci so beige. The act I was most surprised to love was Kseniya. Sand art on paper sounds extremely boring, but she is amazing. The stories she told, the music, the complexity and speed of what she did - I loved it. And she was so humble. When she said that she was just grateful to be able to buy a house from her winnings when she won her own Got Talent show, I thought wow, and they give the American winner a million dollars. She was clearly really overwhelmed at being there and then actually making it that far.

I loved the Champions series. The only negative thing was there was just so much talent, I could have picked 5 people from each episode to go through. It was really impossible to pick 2 and some absolutely amazing acts missed out. I'm clearly in the minority but I can't stand Darci. Yes her act is cute and obviously she's talented but god I'm so bored of it and I don't find her particularly likeable either. The final results show was awesome. Brian and Christina's duet absolutely blew me away. Those vocals were unbelievable. I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

Anybody watching season 2? They've tweaked the format a little, so scoring is totally different now and there's no score given to the guests this time. They're 2 episodes in and they've been quite good. There's one couple that is just a car crash waiting to happen. The husband is just awful.

Absolutely loved this. It's clever, heartbreaking, poignant, but insanely funny. Even when nothing is actually happening, her face is so expressive. I loved the supporting cast too. Especially Greta Lee - she was hilarious.

Ok I really need help identifying a song that I can remember liking but have absolutely no idea what it is or who the artist was. It's a dance/pop track with a distinct country twist to the instrumental and the vocal. The singer was female. I'm almost positive they were just another faceless, one-hit wonder, European dance act though. It's also very possible that the vocal was just a sample of an actual country song, or it was a straight up dance cover of one. The video was set in some sort of trailer park I think, with people in country/line dancing outfits dancing. And I may be remembering this part wrong, but it's possible they were all dead, or they all die. It must be 10-14 years old. I don't think it was a massive hit, but it must have done alright or else I don't know how it would have even been on my radar. Sorry, it's super vague, but if you have any suggestions at all, throw them my way. I'm dying to find it (and no doubt realise it's nowhere near as good as I think). EDIT: Never mind, I found it. I wasn't too far off lol 4d4L4hiSHNw
