Melanie C - This is alright, but then I always was a Spice Girls stan.

Nyusha - Ethno-slut-pop perfection! <3

X Ambassadors - Fetch the razor blades.

The Seekers - A bit of old skool class.

Jungle - This was on an advert. It drags a bit in full.

Years & Years - They've gone downhill since King. I find the lead guy so slappable.

Annalisa - Mi amore! Everything she does is amazing.

CHVRCHES - A bad CHVRCHES song just doesn't exist.

J Bastos - And his harem of ladies were never seen again...

AURORA - This is on FIFA 16. This is probably her most commercial song, she's usually full on weird.

Sigala - I do enjoy a good Sigala bop.

Adore Delano - I wasn't expecting this to have an urban edge to it, it's pretty decent.

Christina Aguilera - Finally one that wasn't rejected. Xtina is still class.

Basement Jaxx feat. Linda Lewis - Bit messy, sounds like an unfinished demo.

LALEH - I like the base melody, but overall it's not as instant as that Aldrig one of hers.

Martina McBride - *VOM*

Kimya Dawson - Juno was a good movie tbf, but this... err no.

Emilie Esther - I really like the chorus. Not bad.

Anna Naklab feat. Alle Farben & YOUNOTUS - Laid-back summer vibes. This could be a good driving anthem.

Andra - This was in DSFE not long ago, good to hear it again.

Sam Tsui, Casey Breves & KHS - Should I know these nobodies? I feel old. Why are we listening to this Glee Club version instead of the proper, better one?

James Blunt - Not as bad as I was expecting given who it is, but not for me.

So this happened on Swedish Idol... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvtG6ONGdz8

Margaret herself also did an Allsang this year, as well as Lotta pa Liseberg. I seriously think Bjorkman might extend an invitation to her next year.
I'd heard about it but not seen it, thanks so much for the link! I needed to watch it to see if his eyebrows were on fleek, but sadly it was just his sneakers...and being a god rather than a goddess just didn't sit right with me

Gutted that SVT geo-blocked Allsang this summer, I always find it a great come down from Eurovision and watching the odd clip on you tube ain't the same

"I'm your god, on your knees" just sounded so bad in his version!

Sounds as bad as the Viadas version of Attention

Since when has vocal ability been the most important element in X Factor? It's clichéd, over done and generally from polls people aren't liking her too much. I think she'll struggle.

Saara really likes to milk her Frozen connection doesn't she? I do think the whole Frozen hype melted away somewhat in the past year and most people are beyond bored of hearing Let It Go, maybe Saara should follow Elsa's advice and do just that.

Besides, Tangled is better.

Just a reminder that entries for the contest to find the weirdest Eurovision moment of all time close tomorrow at 6pm.

Quite a few things I expected to turn up that haven't been chosen yet, so loads of good stuff out there to select from.

She didn't even voice Elsa.

I do agree. I don't think she'll mix it up; it'll be the same old rendition that we've heard way too many times. And her talking about her Frozen connection will just annoy the viewers.

Well perhaps Saara will be safe after all?

Yep, essentially a R1 bye. Still an elimination happening apparently.

They always have a week of double elimations as a back up in case something like this happens so they won't need to miss any weeks of eliminations.

Wow! I totally misjudged her, she really made that her own.

I still think she'll be in the bottom 2 because of lack of connection or whatever, but she nailed that. EVEN SIMON liked her.

Saara's already showing up how crap the other contestants are. <3 Loved the staging and production as well.

That was fab from Saara! Couple of screechy bits but she can be forgiven for that, loved the staging it was so classy!

Is it just me or does the staging floor remind anyone else of 2011?

That performance from Bratavio is pretty much what most of the British public think Eurovision purely consists of.

Having just (ff'd) through the ridiculousness that is XF, Saara was the best by a mile!! So no doubt that she'll be voted out straight away to make way for some out of tune but marketable boy

She seems to have gone down well. Still think she'll be in bottom 3 tomorrow
