    Should we expect some Blondie and Guns'n'Roses hidden gems? :D

    (jokes aside, the Use Your Illusion albums had some brilliant album tracks/that were never released as singles)

    Hmmm... looking at my work in progress playlist I don't think there will be many hidden gems :o
    It will be quite diverse though... at least that's the intention :)

    I was thinking an interesting take could be everyone enters one song and then marks them all. Have a pretty broad category, like 2020 songs, or something. Might need to be a fairly closed shop though, which maybe isn't what we really want

    What you're suggesting is a LAWWAL... that's a different competition entirely... :D

    Submitted my ten!
    I listened to the top eleven (10th/11th was close) three times each, the top five had five listens and were still moving after the fifth

    Couple of good new ones in there LeVar, plus a couple of surprises from artists I knew :)

    Now to try to fit in 350 songs with female singers :p

    Sent. My top 3 remained at the top but they did change order, there was a few songs i wouldn't of put in my top ten upon first listen but some grew on me and ended up with decent placements.

    17 lots of results in now, and each new set of rankings result in big changes on the leaderboard.

    Still plenty of time to get your lists in, if you haven't already. The plan is still to close up Sign-Ups on Thursday and have the reveal on Friday or Saturday evening.

    I had one of those. In the bottom half till I listened to it a few times. And it just kept getting better and better.

    Hey Molly, sorry I thought I was following this thread but I wasn't so sorry for ignoring you ;)

    It wasn't near the bottom - right up near the top :) Made it on to my regular playlist

    Tell me how

    ^^^

    One of the most memorable elements of Eurovision contests has been the interval acts and even though I seem to remember Ireland doing something which was received quite favorably in 1994, this is my favorite performance.



    Also one of the best examples of the flash mob phenomenon which had its detractors but given the last few months and the likely future of social distancing seems like a very enjoyable experience.

    Anyone else care to nominate a suitable interval act (maybe in keeping with the thread, it should be something which wasn't actually associated with the Eurovision). Maybe a Mariah Carey solo performance perhaps.

    To keep it Irish, a Mariah Westlife duet maybe.
