    Unfortunately you just missed out by 1 minute and you would have taken both into over-time. Have to be strict with the times to keep things fair.

    I'll keep track of votes and publish results after 3.33pm (two hours from Kolido posted up the SFs) so we can get the PMs out to him for the final.

    Anyone else who wants to also is free to do so of course, no harm having an adjudication.

    4 very worthy semi-finalists.
    I will vote

    Don Henley - Boys of Summer - because I want 80s representation in the final
    The Kinks - You Really Got Me - has that feel good factor and I can dance to it
