ASFM: THE FINALISTS, live from Cheadle Village Hall! VOTING CLOSED, REVEAL GALA @ 9PM

[ButterTart]

Geri please, you're killing me.
- G. Michael, 1999

 

[dmlaw]

This was a big grower through the competition. Knowing that it’s going to go all electroclash at the end helps the first bit as well.

 

[ButterTart]

This has a fucker of a build to it.

 

[COB]

This is a wonderful slow build.

 

[ButterTart]

It's like an elevated version of the standard ASFM sound. We're evolving.

12. Linda La Hughes - Empathy Test - Monsters

12. Linda La Hughes - Empathy Test - Monsters

Will the music video make sense this time I wonder?

 

[COB]

Ready to go BEHIND THE AURA again, girls?

 

[ButterTart]

This is the emotional core of the playlist for me. They have some stunning songs which I plan to enter to a future ASFM.

 

[dmlaw]

This has always been excellent. It’s like if ‘Pure Morning’ had more synths and…whatever that is in the video.

It's a jizzvomit burqa fiend with Faye Tozer's hair, obviously.

 

[ButterTart]

This song makes me feel things, which doesn't often happen with ASFM.

13. Kelly Rowland phoning in sick - The Flirts - Passion

 

[dmlaw]

This song makes me feel things, which doesn't often happen with ASFM.

If you’re just looking for a song that makes you feel things, Red Dress would be the ideal entry. Uncontrollable rage is still a feeling.

 

[Suomi]

this run of songs

 

[ButterTart]

Three very flirty girls.

And by 'flirty' I mean 'sit on your face before you've fully got through the front door'.

 

[ButterTart]

this run of songs

It really is an INSANELY good playlist. I'm glad we ignored everyone's votes and just put through the ones we wanted.

I mean I'm glad everyone picked so well.

 

[BoysForSeles]

Should we let the blonde’s family know if she wins? I think she’d have liked that.

 

[ButterTart]

14. François Ozon - Najoua Belyzel - Gabriel

 

[ButterTart]

Now THIS has grown on me since the first heat. I feel like I only properly took notice of it over the last few days.

 

[ButterTart]

It really is an INSANELY good playlist. I'm glad we ignored everyone's votes and just put through the ones we wanted.

I mean I'm glad everyone picked so well.

The absence of Trombone is how you know I had no hand in picking the finalists.

 

[dmlaw]

This grew on me throughout the competition. It’s still only the second best song named ‘Gabriel’ from 2021 ASFMs.

 

[ButterTart]

15. Tisch & Iguana's Wedding - Rae Morris - Reborn

 

[COB]

This one is very special.

 

[ButterTart]

I always knew this one would make the final. It just feels like it should be there.

 

[ButterTart]

She's a look of Ricky Wilson about her.

 

[COB]

There's a very particular bit with the strings towards the end that I find slightly devastating and made me cry a bit the other night.

Quite an emotionally ruinous collection of songs, this.

 

[ButterTart]

Our Rae is from BLACKPOOL

 

[COB]

THERE IT JUST HAPPENED for me at least

 

[ButterTart]

I can see how you'd get emotional at this; it's very stirring in the final minute or so.

 

[ButterTart]

16. Danielle Jane Minogue - Alexandra Stan x Nervo - Come Into My World

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Finally! I'm back in the room.

 

[COB]

My first time seeing this video! I think I was slightly late to the viewing for this heat.

 

[COB]

Finally! I'm back in the room.

I'd been having such a nice time

 

[dmlaw]

Large quantities of basicness have arrived.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Large quantities of basicness have arrived.

 

[ButterTart]

Large quantities of basicness have arrived.

Leave your knickers at the door for this one, definitely.

 

[COB]

I assume someone made a joke about reading her lips last time?

17. Bülent Ersoy – Hadise - Farkimiz Var
