    Kurt Vile - Pretty Pimpin ; always been a fan of this song, and the other one is doing nothing for me

    Marina & The Diamonds - Primadonna ; one of the big discoveries of the tournament for me

    LP - Lost on You ; had to give these a proper listen again here, as I couldn't really remember Lost On You from the prelims. Thought I was gonna give it to Hozier before I listened to them both and LP won me over

    Carrie Underwood - Church Bells ; I'll stick with my nomination, and I'm not crazy about Girls Like You anyway

    Match 57
    I'll pass, not liking either of them

    Match 58
    Marina and the Diamonds - she is just amazing

    Match 59
    LP - Tough one but I really like her voice

    Match 60
    Maroon 5 - not their best song but Carrie Underwood's has too much banjo for my liking.

    I heard her for the first time in her duet with Mylene Farmer and was really impressed by her voice, very unique and interesting

    It's the Return of the

    SECOND CHANCE SHOWDOWN





    Any tied matches from the Prelims or Round 1, the songs are all included.


    I will post the list of songs after the conclusion of this match.

    You can PM me your votes for your favourite songs in Eurovision style format:

    Votes are allocated as follows:

    1st: 12 points
    2nd: 10 points
    3rd: 8 points
    4th: 7 points
    5th: 6 points

    As it stands there are FOURTEEN songs you can allocate these points to - every point counts!

    I will be accepting PMs up to 11am tomorrow morning and will run the reveal from 12 or 1pm, depending on how I go with calculations etc.

    The top song becomes our winner and advances to the last 64 of the contest, which will also kick off tomorrow :D

    I enjoyed Will Ferrell's Eurovision film, anyone watch it, Rachel McAdams and Dan Stevens stole the show, Rachel can sing
