It’s no Gina G, but it’s probably one of the better offerings we’ve had.

Well, it's aptly named. I watched it, I was like... what the hell just happened?

Doesn't get a beat till halfway through, a bunch of interchangeable pop tarts doing selfie-gurning at the camera... I might have a tenner on it getting no points at all.

Seriously, who picks this stuff? From the country that gave the world the Stones, the Floyd, Black Sabbath, Bowie, Cool Britannia, the list is endless... I mean, wtaf...?

Hahaha. I think it’ll be a good round to be fair. Even if you’re not a fan, there’s defo plenty of options to go with as it’s been running since the 50s.

…I think that’s the main thing for me, having a very wide choice and not keeping it too niche …keep those options and choices wide and open…

…ahhh, ok I understand…for me it’s ok, similar to what Ben has said in that it’s absolutely not the worst but still not an entry to feel excited and hopeful about, which we are capable of but just don’t seem to really try hard enough to showcase…

Yeah, it’s no Sam Ryder. I think it’ll end up finishing around 17th-21st.
