    Wild Youth - Can't Move On ; like both, but sticking with my own nomination here

    Rachel Platten-Fight Song ; again like both, but have more of an emotional attachment to this

    FKA Twigs - Two Weeks ; one of the best discoveries of the prelims, and not mad about Happy

    Gary Numan-My Name Is Ruin ; another of the great discoveries of the tournament for me

    Oh I liked that round & some songs I don't know too.

    Imagine Dragons great song
    Rachel Platten

    Happy because you couldn't not vote for this. & I giggled at the other sing, not sure what to make of it.
    Next one was a bit tough. I don't know the Gary Muman song but I really like it. I wouldn't blast it out the house when I'm cleaning and I wouldn't have the car rocking to it either. But I've headphones on at the minute & I like it (load) through the headphones.
    However
    Thirty Seconds to Mars[/B are a great band so they'll be getting my vote here

    Can you break that down sloooowly please

    A fairly meh set of matches overall

    Meghan Trainor - All About That Bass

    Portugal. The Man-Feel It Still

    One Direction - What Makes You Beautiful


    Luis Fonsi feat. Daddy Yankee - Despacito


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,055 ✭✭✭SineadSpears


    Robyn
    Eeni meeting miini moh - maybe Portugal
    One Direction- as cheesy as the song is, I'm a fan of it. 'You don't know you're beautiful, that what makes you beautiful'. Awwww I love it

    Match 43
    Meghan Trainor - All About That Bass

    Match 42
    Portugal. The Man-Feel It Still

    Match 43
    One Direction - What Makes You Beautiful - I love this song and also hate the script song. They play it in croke park after the matches and it drives me mental.

    Match 44
    Luis Fonsi feat. Daddy Yankee - Despacito - and I am delighted to knock Neil Young out. Good riddance


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 56,789 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    I think it's fair enough to call these two matches:

    Portugal. The Man-Feel It Still 8 1 Elle King - Ex's & Oh's
    Luis Fonsi feat. Daddy Yankee - Despacito 9 0 Neil Young: Love and War

    One sided slaughters! Neil Young whitewashed by Despacito, our first whitewash of the tournament

    Robyn - Dancing On My Own 6 6 Meghan Trainor - All About That Bass
    One Direction - What Makes You Beautiful 4 6 The Script - Hall of Fame

    The Script are through but the first match is tied at 6 votes apiece.

    I'm going to go for Meghan Trainor - poppier and the contest needs a little bit of that variety imo.

    Robyn - Dancing On My Own 6 7 Meghan Trainor - All About That Bass

    Robyn heads into match 64 in the frantic scramble for the last place.

    That's it from me though for tonight.

    See y'all at 5pm again tomorrow, we should be able to finish out this round tomorrow... apart from Match 64 but more on that nearer the time.

    YONAKA - Lose Our Heads ; oh what a b@stard of a choice this one is, both my noms, but at least that means one of them will live to see another round I suppose. Love both, but I do tend to listen to Lose Our Heads more frequently, so will vote for it

    Noah & The Whale - L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N. ; because the other is just some other song I used to know

    Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - In The Heat of the Moment ; another of my noms and the superior tune

    Loreen - Euphoria ; Eurovision classic, and I don't like fun
