    Still gives me goosebumps. I was fortunate to see Riverdance when it went on tour and meet Jean and Michael afterwards.

    Have to say I was very surprised how much I liked that Dermot Kennedy track; when I first saw the list I didn't even expect that one would be in my top ten at all, let alone first place. I think I had instinctively avoided listening to him because he had become really popular......I have to maintain some degree of music snobishness, like! :p

    But was really glad to hear that song, it's one of those that has such a great hook that you can't believe it wasn't written years earlier.

    Back to back twelves send Dermot Kennedy into the lead, but with Wild Youth receiving points from everyone thus far, there's only a point in it at the top, while at the other end of things Weezer have yet to get off the starting line…

    I've suddenly realised this isn't a music competition, it's a personality test. We're all part of LeVar's experiment!

    Nice to see Weezer get off the mark. I think this will be difficult to predict.

    I really enjoyed this format. The weird thing is LeVar could run it with the same songs next week and I'd give different results.
