Good to know I am on the podium, I just hope it's 2nd or 3rd and not 1st.

[Tonga Bob]

I hate you all.

 

[Purple7x08_24]

Strangest round I've hosted. I felt like so many of those songs could have won in other rounds. I think it might be time for a change up as too many songs were competing.

I felt my song was win worth in other rounds. I honestly thought Mr Probz would do badly and that I'd be the only one who loved it.

Plugger came home strong but it was an even round with no dominating song.

 

[Plugger35]

Phew what a relief, I got 2nd and not 1st so I don't have to make another excuse not to host the next round.

[Plugger35]

I was struggling to come up with a good song that fit the theme that hadn't been nommed before.

After googling songs about sea creatures like whales, sharks and fish I thought I'd see if there were any songs about Atlantis.

That song from Seafret came up, I liked it straight away and it gets better with every listen, it should have been a bigger hit.

I'm not the first person to nominate a Seafret song though, Ulahoopski nominated one of their songs in a much earlier round.

I'll have a listen to Robin Schulz Ocha. I never heard that song or singer nommed, but I loved his voice! Go Em- Dub! Yeah

 

[Lunchlady Doris]

4+ letter, right?

Yeah I wanted to nominate Ula's previous Oceans, which is even better than Atlantis imo, but don't like re-nomming.

BRB. Looking for a song with race car in the title.

Haha all good Ocha- you give me plenty of votes. Conversely I find the Robin Schultz version just ok. I find it's overplayed, lacks the honesty & heart/gorgeous backing and the vocals shine less because of the beat (which I also don't dig).

I love his voice/lyrics too mbr and have been listening to it a lot again since my return from Cairns. It was an early-days nom of mine. I don't think I have ever won with one of my own renoms prior to now . Others have won with noms I have nommed and I have won with noms others have nommed.

 

[Plugger35]

Yeah I wanted to nominate Ula's previous Oceans, which is even better than Atlantis imo, but don't like re-nomming.

I like that Oceans song and some of their other songs too, they remind me of one of favourite English folk rock bands Turin Brakes

Nice to have a different host for a fresh theme. Gonna make me do some research

Plugger came home strong but it was an even round with no dominating song.

I think it's partly due to the lower number of entrants which also means fewer potential votes. Also based on your updates many voted late.

I reckon por_please_ya stole votes from you and vice versa. I managed to vote for both of you but I definitely found yours the one where the vocals/lyrics stood out more rather than being drowned out by a beat

Love how we traded 5's
