Not with combined votes I don't think, I'd say Girlicious have an uphill struggle given The Chicks have sent a very strong second round song.

Confirmed ~ Think I've finally landed on something I feel confident behind, though I wouldn't be surprised if that was shaken by Friday/I changed several times to any of my other shortlisted songs. I've got a bit dancier than usual but I do still think it has a poppy appeal.

It only feels right for Hendinia to channel the OG and go full budget Kathaldazia this month

Brer, what songs have you got left on your rostor? You’ve always been one of my favourite postors ❤️

That one I was confident on after initially thinking it was something to do with Waterloo. well bloody done to whoever got 3/3 from that x

Bitch get OUT OF HERE. I’m confident on my 2/3 score so boo @ that one catching me out. Not sure I would ever have read his name sounded like look back and thought it was a reference to The Weeknd’s After Hours area having a lot of car theming.

Well that was a stab in the dark guess x

Whew, I’m gonna need Round 2 to dig me out! Interesting results and interested to see if my theory that one of the big successes is an imposter is right 🤔

This is why I never make it far on The 1% Club. The clues could be staring me right in the face and I'm just blank.

Yeah, to also compare it to KAJ, they hit 388k on the Monday after their semi final last year, so only 28k less than them. More than anyone received after their heat in 2024 etc. Obviously it's NOT a done deal yet - there's plenty of hyped acts still to come and we don't know how great their songs are. And in the Melfest set up where the final televote points are decided by age groups, I'm not sure how she'll perform with the older age groups against your Sanna's and Smash Into Pieces etc. Or a jury. But it's certainly a very promising start and I hope the fact it's got 4 weeks now to build hype will only work in her favour, in a kind of Ace Wilder underdog type way.

I have about 10 songs in a shortlist and I really have no idea which direction I'm going to go in. Thinking I might not rush to confirm at the first hour as I often do to sit on what I love the most for a bit longer. almost definitely will still confirm straight away out of fear of losing all of my favourites though lol

I mean I'm pretty sure there are, even without this twist, because there's quite a few people who didn't make it in time to apply who wanted to. There's usually 50-60 participants in BJSC every month for example. The gag will be if the imposters are actually some of the strongest performing songs though.

I came straight home my trip away and watched the whole show and My System was SO far leagues ahead of everyone else, it almost seemed unfair. But then, she did the reprise without the staging, and there was a moment when she joined all of the dancers and they were jumping about screaming with joy and then she just suddenly LOCKED IN and strutted forward and I screamed. Song of the year so far, with or without Eurovision.

sus

While I don't necessarily agree, I think this is partly because the female artists are so strong, that the people behind them, rightly, are saving their best songs for when they'll need them later down the line. Chappell aside, of course.

Felicia is up to #1 on Spotify Sweden today. In at #1 with 360k (Brandsta City Slackers at #2 with 236k) and Black Widow, Sugar High and Hard - all of FELICIA’s previous releases - all re-entering or entering the top 200 for the first time. For comparisons sake, A*Teens were #1 last week with 162k so Felicia has topped that by over double. Feels like a massive massive moment, I'm afraid I'll be waaaaay too invested in Eurovision again if this makes it but it HAS TO.

READY! Thinking it'll be The Chicks and Markus Riva exiting but the Female category felt a lot less predictable and obviously the most competitive, so that'll be very fun to see.

It does raise an interest point of contention in my mind - could we have entered David Guetta and just sent all of his female collabs as a way to bypass all of the female slots being taken so quickly? 😂

Really excited to see what you do as host, Sabrewulf! Thank you for taking up the hosting ❤️

Yay for an upgrade to 12th *.*
