Run it Sinead, be a hoot

I enjoyed Will Ferrell's Eurovision film, anyone watch it, Rachel McAdams and Dan Stevens stole the show, Rachel can sing

I'm a dum dum, wouldn't have a clue how to run one of these! Leave it to the smart kids.

Not a fan of Will Ferrell, but I seen the eurovision movie & thought it was great. Eurovision is my guilty pleasure :P

You have to rank 10 of them Eurovision style Sinead.
The song you like most gets 12 points, the 2nd gets 10 etc.

I had initially intended to just throw 12 points on HAIM and leave it at that, but didn't think they'd actually be in contention, so went all the way down the ballot paper... Hopefully I don't live to regret that decision. :pac:

How would you have voted?:D

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Still have 4 of my nominations left in the running... Better than I expected at this stage anyway ; I didn't think any of them would make it out of Round 1.

Necro

Kicking off Round 2 in about 10 or 15 mins.

You've seen all the songs at this stage - would people prefer reverting to the normal format or keeping it as is?

I'm easy either way

I like the most votes after x amount of time format rather than first to x amount of votes, although we probably don't need as long as we did for Round 1.

4 matches every 30 minutes (or even 20 minutes) or something would probably be ideal, if that suited you.
