    Still, 10 songs is fairly manageable but at this point there are still a few still in the running that only needed to listen to 5 am waiting on. So... am not sure this will be going tonight at this stage? :39:

    OK, so I did set a Thursday deadline, and as such am moving on with what we have. Not fair on all those that are still active having to wait on indefinitely, so here we go!

    Group A Winner


    This Group was a complete blowout for the Win here, with the second placed artist just a few points shy of scoring DOUBLE what the winner did here.

    As such, with a score of 19, the first through to the Quarter Final draw is...












    CONGRATULATIONS!

    Over at Group B, while not quite the blowout of the same proportions, it was still a very much comprehensive and conclusive victory here.

    Over at Group B, with Madge securing her spot at the top of the pile, who would it be that was closest, and securing the 4th spot in the Quarter Final draw?

    And then there were 2.

    Concrete Blonde and Eva Cassidy.​

    For one, this is as far as they are going to go, and for the other, a chance to duke it out in the Quarter Finals.

    By a score of

    41 - 47


















    Congrats

    Booking the final slot from Group A in the Quarter Final draw!

    Which means it is the end of the line for Concrete Blonde. Which I am both gutted about but mostly relieved, truth be told, as I have been feeling very conflicted about, to still be in the running in this comp going into the later stages, so while it was not a deliberate throw, opting for a cover of a Leonard Cohen song, who can be a bit of an acquired taste, definitely was a gamble here.

    Post Script

    Could have gone with any number of choices here; * is a Bullet, Happy Birthday, Caroline, True, Tomorrow Wendy, Ghost of Texas Ladies Man, etc, but figure probably their best known song is the way to go...

    Securing the last spot in the Final 8 Draw!

    Which means that this is it for Christina Aguillera (@Big els ). TBH, I hadn't been aware she has been around as long as she has, and the round where was checking everyone's discography for non-singles was kinda blown away at just how many big hits she has had over the years. Never really occured to me before, but then again mainstream pop and whats charting is not something I've ever really tracked, so yeah. lol. Not detracting from her impressive body of work though.

    Post Script

    Again, a ot to choose from here, but as an artist Im not overly familiar with, just going with something I know is pretty popular...
