Don't know why Mississippi is dong badly it's a song I've always liked to hear but not going to waste votes for it rather give them to Baccara especially since that song's been adopted by the Scotland football supporters. Nothing better than 50,000 fans belting out Yes Sir, I Can Boogie under the lights at Hampden.

That explains it, I wondered why it was so popular here.

 

As for Mississippi, for me it's personal.  It was constantly on the radio when a close friend died, and it has always instantly transported me back to that traumatic time.

The Scotland team played it when they qualified for Euro 2020 and it became a fan anthem. Maria Mendiola the singer gave it her backing. Then Scotland went out in the groups and Mendiola went and snuffed it. Everyone's cursed by even casual connection to Scottish football!

My 12 points I’ve thrown Baccara’s way are nothing to do with Scottish football (couldn’t give a fuck, thankfully). I just think it’s a brilliantly infectious tune and it belongs at the top with Donna.

No real surprises but some of them feel as though they have been left over from the earlier part of the decade and some are bland beyond belief but the obvious duds are slowly being removed then it gets more competitive

Done the same just now, there were four I weren’t familiar with by name. The Pussycat song is completely new on me. I won’t be listening to it again.
