I’d warn against putting too much stock in qualification chances when it comes to the listenthroughs, particularly with pop songs. I’m not saying that means you will qualify but the listenthroughs ALWAYS skew slightly more towards the alt crowd. I don’t think the listenthroughs would’ve told you Sophie & The Giants and Maris were particular fan favourites. Nobody seemed to care about Sugar High on Monday but I can’t say Jade, Brer and DanG were really in mind as the demographic I expect to vote for it 😂

I miss Plug.DJ, genuinely the peak of Buzzjack for me 😂❤️

Yeah, my Halloween Party playlist was, and always is, the mostly tenuously linked thing. 2 Die 4 by Addison Rae? TERRIFYING. Poison by Nicole Scherzinger? CHILLING. Better The Devil You Know by Kylie? THE HEIGHT OF SPOOK.

Turns out these are the actual producers/writers etc Bit disappointed that Cirkut/Max was just a rumour but hey… it’s not HIM. We’ll take any wins. Video supposedly directed by the man behind Eternal Sunshine’s videos/Demons by Doja. So that part is DEFINITELY promising that they’re not just half arsing this. We’re hopefully going ALL IN on course correction.

I think the aim for this era should simply be to make sure the music is good and to regain some goodwill. I think it’d take a big swing in public favour for her to get a proper hit again but just… good reviews and positive feedback would be an improvement 😂

Happy for Ultraviolence to enter with this and give @Brer a real nightmare:

It was actually me who found it out when doing veto research and mentioned it last night. I mostly just mentioned it because I was surprised and had never heard AI sound so real before. As I say, not something that bothers me.

It personally doesn’t affect my feelings towards this song in the contest at all. It means I’m less likely to feel invested in Copperplate and probably won’t check out any future releases but in a song contest… if I like the song (which I do), I’m judging it on that merit and that merit alone.

I’m just over here inserting myself into every -gate for the free promo.

Happy to see Lily rebounding and Madeline becoming the 2nd most streamed track. Would be good if it could stay that way. We want more for 4Chan Stan tho xx

There's quite a lot of pop in the semi, so some are guaranteed to fall - but I could easily see the pop songs I've predicted to DNQ making it, and some others falling in their place.

Intrigued to know where you've sourced Max Martin @DanielCarey I've seen a few places saying Andrew Watt, Cirkut and Greg Kurstin.

It's not THAT controversial that my song sounds like Break Free. But, feel free to listen to it a few more times if it's causing anyone moral conflict x

MAX MARTIN! NO DR LUKE! TO THINK THAT'S ALL SHE EVER HAD TO DO IN THE FIRST PLACE!

You should be asking for a refund if I’m as far out as I was with Vanity 😂

Not people predicting Pestolia to NQ, where I’ve predicted them as a top 10 finalist.

Rosalia #43! Would be cool to see that maybe top 50 by the end of the week, as I assume the chances of a top 40 are slim now it’s finally dipped from the Spotify top 200.

Can’t wait to be represented by my 5th choice xxx

Spent the morning zooming through the songs to try and START SOME DISCUSSION before listenthroughs with the hotly anticipated "10 predicted contenders"... A-Konohagakure: Worakls - Red And Gold Aeroche: 1111 - Wicked And Crisp Baleghde: TSHA - In The Night Cumulonimbia: Ushko - Comet FARC: ORKID - Steep Hills Hendinia: Felicia - Sugar High Mothertopia: Lexie Liu - X Neliönoir: Nightbus - Angles Mortz Pestolia: Pearly Drops & Cub Sport - Mermaid Skall: Rochelle Jordan - Doing It Too Honestly, it's very overwhelming trying to work this out with so many entries and so few opinions so far. I definitely feel more clueless than last contest and I only got 5/10 right there so prepare for like 2/10 here. The ones in bold I feel the most confident about though. Outside of these though - could definitely imagine FSR Rontvia doing well, Danaeviia, Freidland, Jupiterdonia, Hushkanukia, Deandria, Kathaldazia, Summericia etc. Honestly, it sounds like a very strong contest.

Grr, I should’ve been free to attend but have to go in for a CHRISTMAS MEETING on a bloody Monday night.

It just took me much longer than I care to admit to realise that “MU” and “NA” weren’t perhaps Russian for one and two.

Plot twist: Pav reveals before the final that the pretty Nicolas Jaar is the face behind all these masks.
