I need to think of a couple of new ones, had a couple of songs taken or mentioned as back ups.

Okay I have all the entries in that I think I'm going to get, so:
Excitingly, this rule - "If a song is chosen by two people and both say Keep in the same round, both get the song." - will come into effect for the first time during Cover Idol! And not just once either...
Less excitingly (for me anyway) this rule - "If a song is chosen by two people and both say Keep in different rounds, then the grid system used in previous contests will decide who has priority and gets to keep it, and the other person will get their next available choice." - has also come into effect a few times, so some of you may be asked for a back up choice for a song you chose to Keep.
Hopefully we can get the first round up this weekend if I get back up songs promptly.

I assume different cover versions of the same song are allowed, even in the same round. Similarly in the "lesser known originals" round it doesn't matter if the better known cover appears in a different round.

I've already made this difficult enough for myself, applying either of those would just make it impossible.

Okay, everybody's songs are now all sorted - over the course of the evening you'll get your lists and as long as there's no major problems then the first round will go up at some point tomorrow!

Four I didn’t get first choice - although admittedly two I didn’t read the rules properly!

I've got one 2nd choice song and one shared song ~ happy with my 2nd choice song, will be interesting to see how it goes with a shared song.
Looking forward to seeing the Round 1 line-up ...

I have one shared, and the rest are my first choices.

The shared songs will be interesting, less scores as you both or three of you cant vote for it, but will it be good enough to pick up other points. Think I have two shared, some 2nd choices and even a 3rd, but it's all good as I liked everything on my list. Intrigued to see what I'm up against and how many of my back ups were also used, and the blindingly obvious songs I missed for certain rounds!

I have one second choice and two shared. I guess we'll see how the shared ones get on.

Without giving anything away, I found:-
The 90s round that hardest to find a cover that I liked
The 40s/50s/60s round difficult, simply because there are so many hundreds of brilliant options to choose from
The mash-up round the most fun to research - so many great new discoveries for me
I got all of my first choices, with none shared. Partly because I tried to avoid the more obvious choices, and partly down to good luck perhaps ?

Yeah 90s I struggled as well, think I only had 3 options, got my 2nd. I also really struggled with the Haven Factor Acts round, unless I'm missing a lot of cover versions of their songs, I had one I knew and the others I came across on youtube, hence my entry. All good fun!

The Haven Factor acts I found really easy because there're one or two of those acts that have dozens (if not hundreds) of cover versions to choose from.

I was so glad to get my first option for the 90s round because I found that the hardest to find many decent covers from.

There was part of me that wanted to find a cover of one the Haven Factor finalists tracks by one of the other finalists

Another hand up for finding the 90s round difficult! Not confident on that one at all - nor the original of a famous cover! Still excited to see what everyone else has chosen.
