The results have been counted & verified, tonight we'll be revealing the WINNER of the first ever ASFM Divavision.

We've got meticulously researched HOT POP FACTS.

We've got carefully chosen appropriate MOOPMOJIs for each entry.

We've got this song dug up by @jyxz to serve as the interval act while we wait, which I'm sure will sound familiar to anyone with a working knowledge of early 2000s dance:



Hopefully the below participants, plus non participant but voter Berly, can join me tonight for the hugely exciting reveal:

Google Translate says the lyrics are:

Actually, I can't dance.
Actually, I can't sing.
I've never been this excited before.
Did I drink too much coffee?

The Moulin Rouge seems beneath my feet.
Venus, reappear in the world!

When someone sways in chiffon, boys gather from all directions.
When someone flaunts a backless dress, all of humanity shines.

Actually, I can't dance.
Actually, I can't sing.
It's all thanks to dance songs that I've become the most alluring.

I'm obsessed with it, so I take off my inhibitions.
Immerse myself in it, and I'm a diamond.

When someone sways in chiffon, the whole place is filled with fragrance.
When someone flaunts a backless dress, all of humanity shines.
When someone sways in chiffon, the whole place is filled with fragrance.
Just with my eyes or my voice, I can conquer all.

La la la la...
 
I genuinely have no idea how well my song is going to do. As long as we don’t have a repeat of that one time @dmlaw kept changing my points in real time until I finished 73rd out of 22.

After some further recalculation, it turns out that you actually owe me more than seven million points. I hope you are going to pay promptly, otherwise I will have to send goons to your house.
 
5 minutes for me to let in the BAYING CROWDS before off we go.

21st place

Marianne Rosenborg

Er Gehőrt Zu Mir

Entered by @Debbie Jellinsky

Score - Minus 26 points



This would have finished a few places higher but unfortunately I had to penalise poor Debbie as I never received the votes. Schlager is absolutely not my genre of choice so this was never going to get any points from me, although I did chortle at ButterTart's description of her as 'a cupboard faced old bint'.

HOT POP FACT - This song finished tenth in the heats to represent Germany at Eurovision 1975.

20th place

Jackie Collins

Cher's Woman's World: A Dramatic Reading

Entered by @jivafox

Score - 17 points



Jackie may be a fabulous diva, but it's unsurprising that this 'song' was given short shrift by almost everyone. I'm genuinely perplexed at RB giving it top marks.

HOT POP FACT - Jackie's magnum opus, Hollywood Wives, opens with someone pissing into a swimming pool.

MOST APPROPRIATE MOOPMOJI - :hostage:
 
I can see people lurking, so they'd best get to posting. Where are @Tisch and @Iguana? I know from all of my children who are absolutely thriving in prison that child-rearing is a piece of piss so that can't be taking any time out of their evening.

The other Collins sister not coming last is a true victory.
 
I got the concept but in a song contest it was just not going to cut the mustard
 
19th place

Kristine W

Entered by @Joseph

Score - 30 points



An unfairly low finish for another dance anthem from a diva who's given us such classics as the brilliant Feel What You Want.

HOT POP FACT - Kristine has scored 17 chart toppers on the Billboard Dance charts, including this one.

MOST APPROPRIATE MOOPMOJI - :Zorra:
 
Well that was a second choice for me as my original was already used a few years back apparently.

Marcia Barrett

Seeing Is Believing

Entered by @disneyteletubby

Score - 32 points



This was doing very well at the start before it tapered off. Shame as I loved its cool mid 90s dance stylings.

HOT POP FACT - Fleetwood Mac's Peter Green once allowed Marcia to add her own lyrics to a cover of Albatross.

MOST APPROPRIATE MOOPMOJI - :MaddieConfused:
 
That's a shame. I think we had a couple of similar bops and they might have cancelled each other a bit, but I feel like these last two would have placed higher in a different contest.
 
17th place

PRINCESS CENTURY

Still The Same

Entered by @jyxz

Score - 37 points



Perhaps hampered by being one of a few electronica styled entries & coming in towards the end of the playlist. Very much one that needed a few listens to click.

HOT POP FACT - She's based between Berlin & Toronto & her real name is Maya Postepski.

16th place

Sahra Halgan

Sharaf

Entered by @Kate

Score - 39 points



This chugged along very nicely but was never in the top 10 contenders. Full credit to her for surviving & thriving after the Somaliland war of course.

HOT POP FACT - Sahra would sing all night as a nurse on the front line to comfort patients in lieu of painkillers.

A very Marmite entry, as the scores show. I found the video in particular to be both haunting & bleakly disturbing.

Sezen Aksu

Hadi Bakalim

Score - 45 points



I discovered this when my cousin brought her album on cassette back from Turkey - this was apparently THE holiday hit of 1994 there.

HOT POP FACT - Sezen co-wrote the original Turkish version of Kiss Kiss by noted woke lefty Holly Valance.
