It's always reassuring seeing an entry as pop as Mi Amor do well, I think the listening party things sometimes make me doubt pure bubblegum kinda pop but there's still a huge audience and it's a great song :wub:

These are definitely some interesting results so far! I remember last January being quite unpredictable too. Hoping I can stay in the top 10 mix, had some nice bigger points so far, plenty of 10/11s!

Also, predicting: 01 Cor Lupus 02 Sovarasma 03 Kathaldazia 04 FARC 05 Danaeviia Based off my own thoughts and detecting where other hype seems to be going. I think Sovarasma will dominate on the 18s front though but think Cor Lupus might have a tad more universal appeal.

That is actually quite a lot of non-voters. This month seems to have felt quite quiet on the whole, I wonder if there's a reason ~

Well, it’s certainly not the writers strength either, apparently :lol:

Alessandra - Queen Of Kings Doja Cat - Paint The Town Red JENNIE - You & Me Olivia Rodrigo - all-american bitch

Well, that was certainly an episode that aired. Plasma was really the only one who delivered anything good to me. Plane Jane again, probably was 2nd best, but felt (as many have said) like another Jimbo knockoff. I'm under the impression S16 was filming while AS8 aired though so I'll put it down to coincidence on this one. I can't say that Plasma is very likeable but she's almost so unbearable that it doubles back and becomes comedic. Even less self awareness of how uppity and musical theatre annoying she is than Jan :lol: I felt sad to see Mirage go as I thought she seemed one of the more interesting queens, but can't argue any of the results that went down. Never nice to see that level of panic attack though. Best part of the episode though? Mhiya's Cher impression, actual laugh out loud moment. Probably the only one tbf.

Post 7 xx

Hoping and thinking Zanmatony can pull off a top 10 too?

Who’s gonna be brave xx My gut is saying Cor Lupus or Kathaldazia again but I know Cody will kill me for saying that.

Sewn pt 2 x

I had no idea she'd split from that interesting looking Frenchman!

I like to think I played my part in Is It Love sneaking in x G'won @ Dancing Done, banger.

How did Firebabe sneak into the mix? Surely it wasn't the 15th biggest contender of UK artists, with such a gap from J Hus :lol: EDIT: Just looked and it'd probably be 'Disconnect' at 15, which I'm surprised they'd trade out, as Becky seems quite well liked by the Brits.

Sewn x

Easily Come On England. Also glad it exists so Cheeky Girls are spared a round x

Hooray! Definitely not gonna be right with the winner though. Terrible shout and zero winner energy :lol:

Can’t believe she fell even further than top 20, to #72 :(

Sewn - which is apparently going to be my vote right the way from Round 1 to the end by the looks of things :lol: Can’t say it’s a vintage round though so I don’t feel like I’m losing a lot of songs I love either.

Not a wild fan of either but Shiver is a cute listen, and as I've said multiple times, I perceive this to be one of the weaker Coldplay songs of their 00s heyday (maybe not their whole discography) so Natalie to win x

12 RD’Ashton 05 Ramrynia Don’t feel like I lose my 12 often, heartbreak @ that deduction for Phil cos it was easily my favourite song from that semi.

1. No Tears Left To Cry 2. yes, and? 3. thank u, next 4. Problem 5. Dangerous Woman 6. Positions 7. The Way At a point of loving all 7 of these to be honest, and I switched 2 & 3 a few times so it might just be recency bias because I obsessed over TUN at the time too.

Hot deserved better :( EDIT: Turns out it didn't even make my final cut of 30, so never mind, it was a strong bunch :lol:

600 copies away from #1 apparently - so close :( :drama:

My Head & My Heart though >>>>
