I'm absolutely made up for her.
It is the most random story arc the show has ever had though, from trying out for Eurovision and being screwed by juries to auditioning for the show and getting a negative edit and eliminated after trying to sing French at an ignorant audience to boos, to randomly coming back as a wildcard, despite nobody bigging her up for one, to having no viewer support and nearly being eliminated in week 2 to now being the favourite to win. Never seen anything like it. |

Nice quick editing there
I would joke about gin but it was more likely your shoulder ![]() ![]() Well done on the win buddy, and also to weedy for hosting And a more random story than Saara's journey to the final I'm going to see a show "The A-Z of Classic Rock" in the mighty metropolis of Norwich i January (stay with me) I found the website and looked at the band members, one of which is none other than Ricardo Afonso from Festival de Cancao 2014 (and the Voice UK 2013) Do you think if I shout loud enough, he might do a rendition of Chamar a Musica after Smoke on the Water? |

I wimped out in the end, my fear of being jostled by rabid Donny supporters was too great

Actually, that's a good question
What albums from 2016 artists has anyone managed to get hold of? I've got Amir, Barei, Donny and Francesca Never could get Sandhja and I would have loved to have heard her stuff! |

Dami Im's Aussie X Factor experience was random as well. She only made the live shows because another contestant dropped out and she was drafted in as a replacement and stormed the whole thing.

Oh well, at least the winner was one of my (other) favourites.And understandably I wasn't here yesterday (recovering from birthday partying, among other things ), but seems none of you remembered my birthday, apart from Weedy (you rock!)...

Switzerland have released the six songs to take part in the their national final on 5 February. All six acts are female artists.
http://www.srf.ch/sendungen/eurovisi...scheidungsshow Overall the standard is higher than in recent years but not sure if there is anything that could take them out of semi-final. Gold for me is the song has the biggest potential but I like all the songs

I don't mind Shana or Michele's either. |
