    Kelly Marie Feels Like I'm in Love - only because I really don't like that Terence Trent Darby song
    Bucks Fizz The Land of Make Believe - it's crap, but it's not Dana crap
    Madness House of Fun - might be in vain, but I love the Nutty Boys
    Big Country Look Away - not their best, but it's OK


    Listening to all the rubbish songs messes up your YT feed. It keeps suggesting similar crap songs to you for ages afterwards :eek:

    Open in new private browser, it's the only safe way of listening to them :D

    Nana Mouskouri was also a politician, she was an MEP like Dana for a while

    Keep forgetting about this, some awful sh*te in there anyway (agree with tin aboutnit fecking up YouTube Recommendations - its why I Judge Walruses on YouTube rather than Spotify now though... first Walrus I hosted threw my Spotify recommendations off for months... :rolleyes:)

    Will throw a vote on Madonna here anyway, to get her over the line

    She's already over the line! That's why she's highlighted in red! It was first to 6 or whoever was leading after an hour.

    Firstly, on mobile so don't see colours just bold.

    Secondly, Kol's latest post has a 5 next to Madonna

    You telling people not to vote for something because its already a done deal is annoying, and you do it in every tournament, because if you've miscounted it throws people off, and even if you haven't not everyone counts the votes like you do, so just let them have their say without jumping in and saying "You're Too Late, That's Already Decided" if they're within the voting window. Game Mods can tally results just fine, they don't need backseat helpers policing the votes.

    I think Madonna has won with 5 votes as the time limit has expired.

    Poor Dana is not feeling the love here! Will someone not give her a vote?? :D

    Yeah fair enough, see that now, I though it was part of the next group which was still in play.

    My point on Declan still stands.

    Ah here!

    I suggested the red so we could see the results, because some people were posting their votes in the same format as Kolido

    Now people are still copying Kolido! :(
