    Robbie for me too, and I'm alway humming the Status Quo song, I just feel Robbie Williams really captured the mood of a nation with his song.

    3-2 to the Quo

    I wonder how well it will age if/when we come out of this covid nightmare.

    I imagine it'll be like a Time Capsule, a memory of Christmas at that date and time.

    Band Aid and John Lennon's songs have aged well enough even though their purpose have moved on to other things now.

    Status Quo :)

    Robbie was unavailable for comment but sources close to the star said he was gutted at the rollercoaster nature of his defeat. But the Quo are legends...

    And Status Quo gets over the line with a tally of late votes.

    Ariana Grande for me, the more catchier of the 2.

    Coldplay, two poor enough efforts to be honest.


  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 26,686 Mod ✭✭✭✭Loughc


    4-4

    Not the first time that's happened unfortunately. Means some weaker songs are progressing at the expense of stronger ones, but that's the luck of the draw.
