Compared to the song I voted -6 today I found it better

And you found it better than the other four songs that got to the final in the same round where you desperately tried knocking it out, yeah?

[diego 1,939]

I didn't try desperately to knock anyone out, among those songs I liked the Elvis one, we're in different rounds, they're different comparisons

Riiiight…so the same song that isn’t worthy of the final is the now your favourite in the final, despite your scoring demonstrating you AT THE VERY LEAST like the Elvis song more? Okay then.

 

I’ll say no more on the matter but FFS stop being a vandal.

She is not my favorite in the final, I voted for her because I think there is worse music than her in the front, the final is still far from being decided
