General observations:
- A Eurovision winner here, and it wasn't an act representing the UK :o Germany sent Nicole to Harrogate in 1982 and emerged triumphant; Germany's first Eurovision winner. I doubt it'll bother this round much.
- If you want to take five-six minutes of your day dramatically running around your house to Bonnie Tyler's melodramabanger, no one will blame you.
- There was once a time when it was apparently possible to get Whitney Bloody Houston to record an official song for the Olympics; the 1988 Seoul ceremony was made 3000x more memorable thanks to one of her greatest ballads.
- Simple Minds might be best known for "Don't You (Forget About Me)" but at a paltry #7 chart position, it is vastly outperformed by this serene song about the Troubles.
- Awaiting post from Niamh about how little she enjoys Neil Tennant's voice in 3...2...1... :tongue:
- Who will win the battle of the synthpop classics? Soft Cell or the Human League? Will they both make it through? Because they bloody well should.
- I have been dying for Kelly Marie to be a Drag Race lipsync for years, because, well, just bloody listen to it. A BANGER.

I nearly voted for Candy Girl without clicking on the link, because I'd confused it with Candy by Cameo... so naturally I instead voted for Billy Joel (yes, Uptown Girl is a bop and I won't hear otherwise)

And only a third of them for Kelly Marie? A disgrace!

Billy, Bonnie, Soft Cell, Human League and Wham are automatically through. Whitney and ABBA are tied for the final spot on 10, which should be enough to see both through.
