    Probably in the morning after 10. If that doesn't go to plan, it will be after 10 tomorrow night.

    Buckle up people. This is going to be savage from the start.

    There are a couple of matches that are going to have 3 songs in them rather than running 5 or 6 qualifier matches as I have 135 songs in the contest. I'll put up the first match in the next 10 minutes or so.

    6 votes are needed to progress to the next round.

    rainbow, can you add a phone friendly summary of the matches right at the end of the posts like Necro did towards the end of the 00s comp, please? As in just a few lines after all the videos with the songs in each match, so those of us on our phones can easily see what the matches are when we quote you...
