I knew I should have waited 2 minutes for Rover to post. I was patiently refreshing to see if they put something I could kill as I spotted them checking the thread, lol.

 

I'll be honest, I've had the tab open for about half an hour as it wasn't midnight yet. Thread usually goes beserk just after midnight, but suddenly there was a notification, which alerted me that it was past midnight: it was your votes! So I added mine!  Sorry, we should have coordinated better! Just setting things up for the Old Lady to swoop in, as usual...

me first though ....

.... nah, I'll let somebody else do the honours.

This started Thursday afternoon with 30 songs. We're at Monday morning and we're down to 9. We in a rush or something?

I think there is a reasonable consensus.

 

I will not object to any of the remaining songs going through but I do have a preference for some of them.

 

The howlers in this round were pretty self evident

I saw Kim Wilde 4 years ago during a whole concert. It was a sympathetic performance, without a doubt, but without special vocal effects she would not have survived live.
