NOW IT'S BAA BAA POP SHEEP

TONIGHT is the deadline for voting in the Pop World Cup Group G. There's been a small rally in votes but we're still well below previous week's voting levels :(

By tomorrow evening I need tracks and team talks from [livejournal.com profile] juror8 and [livejournal.com profile] dorsalstop: I've got the Spain and Saudi ones, thanks.

I thought yesterday's indie question got some very interesting responses. For all that I've been an enthusiastic partaker in it at times the kneejerk binary between pop/indie has surely served its useful purpose. Innit?

Madonna explains kiss to Lourdes.

GLC celebrate "artistic freedom".

"It will bring total failure and international shame to Lithuania."

[the lithuanian entry is] one of the worst and most "crazy" songs during all history of Eurovision Song Contest

OMG, we need to hear this!!

If it qualifies for the main event, it's got to be worth a flutter at the bookies... the odds will be extraodrinary, and that article displays just the sort of perverse logic that will result in it winning.

It sounds like Chain Reaction by Diana Ross!

Those lyrics are AMAZING. "We are the winners/Of Eurovision/We are here to represent a tuuuuuuune!"

Oh, and

I'm surprised there has been such low voting in this round of the PWC - I think the French entry might be the best track yet, and it's a good group generally.

I still have time to vote! Cool! I was at Kelly Clarkson last night. Was feeling a bit bad about not having voted yet.

I assume you got my ballot. As always I voted by email.
