Hope you're doing ok there, but if you have Spotify Premium you could (when you have wifi) download the playlist to listen to in offline mode.
During the sing-off period everyone will be expected to enter their 2nd round song, and the two sing-off contestants will also need to provide a new sing-off song. Anyone else is also welcome to change their sing-off song.
I have all the participants' votes, but wait until 5pm just in case I get some late (but not past the deadline) votes from non-participants.
Non-participants who have not voted in this round are still welcome to vote in future rounds.

I bought their "First In A Million Kisses" album at the time, and they have 2 songs from it on my "moon" playlist (Moon On The Rain and The Moon Is Mine).
The bass guitarist is called Mark E Nevin and co-wrote most of the Kill Uncle album for Morrissey and also a few other songs. Morrissey says the album was rushed and I can sort of feel it because "Pregnant For The Last Time" isn't on it, and that's one of my other favourite songs that he wrote.
Eddi Reader did some solo material also in the 1990s.
This song is just ok though on first hearing.

There is a day left to vote, and 4 participants still to hear from, and maybe more non-participants. There are 2 cut somewhat adrift from the rest but there's always the chance of a late turnaround (particularly if we get more non-participant votes).

So far I have 11 sets of votes in including one non-participant.
I am quite busy tomorrow with it being Purim.

41. Jason Donovan - Hang On To Your Love... 47 Rhythm Of The Rain
I wondered at this point if S/A/W had had enough of working with Jason Donovan and were giving him inferior songs and covers to do. Pete Waterman said in interviews that he wasn't a great singer. That he got "Too Many Broken Hearts" was probably the luck that they'd written it for Rick Astley who wanted to move on to writing his own songs so he was around to sing it instead, as they didn't have a suitable male vocalist to sing it at the time.
Similarly Sonia was given "End Of The World" at the time and she also had other hits with cover versions. Appears they were saving their best for Kylie whose output got better this year.

The "predicta" is really more to be able to let everyone know where the act was expected to finish when they get eliminated, and also at that point, how obvious it was who was mentoring that act. I'm not really considering it a competition with a winner. It's good that we have a non-participant voting too. I'm hoping ManicKangaroo, Jordan, lewis17 and krescendo who did no enter will also consider voting.

The first to last is intended as where you think they would finish if they were all reasonably well managed. That then acts as a guide perhaps as to whether the mentor has met their expectation.
Some would say an act who is predicted to be in the bottom 3 but finishes 3rd has been better mentored than one who was favourite to win and only came 2nd, even though the latter finished higher.
