A Song For Europe: The Final Four
(11.21 Fri 01/02/02)

20,000 votes were cast. I presume that's web and phone votes. Seems a bit low to me - not exactly the three million votes that Pop Idol claimed last Saturday, is it?)

These songs are through to the TV final on Sunday 03 March:

Song 2 Never In A Million Years - Zee Asha - (Mark Jiggens, Zee Asha)
Song 5 I Give In - Surf 'n' Turf - (Jonathan & Peter Maitland, Jackie Collins)
Song 7 DJ Romeo - Tricia Penrose - (Bea Eden, Simon Stirling, James Gordon)
Song 8 Come Back - Jessica Garlick - (Martyn Baylay)

Or, as concisely summed up by troubled_diva:
"Fag hag, journo, eurotrash and 'ninth in Pop Idol'."
I think that tells us all we need to know(!)
Jessica's surely the winner now. Hope so.

(I got 3 out of four predictions right and 3 out of four 'preferred' too.)

These songs are dumped:
Song 1 Lovestruck - Honey Trap - (Ben Copland, Yvonne John Lewis, Nicky Cooke, Phil Dane)
Song 3 When You're Around - Paula O'Neil - (Ben Copland, Martin Bushell)
Song 4 Fade Away - Pulse - (Stuart Hanna, Alistair Griffin)
Song 6 Every Step Of The Way - Level Best - (Graham Kearns, Howard New)

I think Ken Bruce (Radio 2 DJ) is trying to show Eurosolidarity (to distance himself from Wogan?) Just before the result, he played some track in FRENCH. Mon Dieu! On UK radio! The artist's name sounded like Alysee. (Please imagine an acute accent on that first 'e'.)
