In our 20th regular episode we zig-zag across time and space TARDIS-style with songs from seven different countries and four different decades.
First up is Ireland's Lesley Roy who ended up devoting 2 years of her life to Eurovision. Then we have one of Armenia's strongest performing entries which is all about a humble apricot stone, followed by the floaty dressed Christine Gulbrandsen from Norway who sings about an elf dance. Our UK entry is Pop Idol alumni Jessica Garlick, while the non-qualifying semi-finalists are the upbeat boy band Lighthouse X who, as Ryan suspected, broke up soon after the contest. We also have a Deuce award entry from the super strong Esti-Laul line-up of 2022, while the Randomiser takes us back to 1973 and a piercing ballad from Monaco's mononymous Marie.
As the title suggests this episode offers dodgy backing singers aplenty. You have been warned!
