Ha, blimey, I pressed vote for Lizzo with a bit of a sigh thinking, well, obviously it will be way out there in the lead so this might be a bit of a wasted vote... sort of still is, but for a […]

It has been over a decade now, and I'm still no closer to understanding why, of all of the artists and songs that sound like it from the 21st Century, it is 'Dancing On My Own' that is the 20th best […]

I've made this point in the Musk Rats domain before but it bears repeating, given that, on one level, they're sort of about the same thing, I found it interesting that while I sympathise with Robyn, […]

I just feel they've come so close to winning (getting in Polhalla) without getting there (unless they did win before I showed up)

Arron Wright   14 months ago

Not sure I get the bridesmaids reference... they're one of only five acts I can find with two C21 songs in Pollhalla already*. None of their opponents here have even one. Though three of those […]
