I'm well overdue a tangerine... time to raid the fridge (yes I keep them in the fridge because they are lovely when cold).

I would like to state that I have an opinion on this..

If I choose her she had better be in your top 5 then

Really depends on which era of Gemma you choose though, and of course what the competition chooses.

 

For example, the UK has the Sam Fender, Coldplay and Harry Styles card over me whenever they feel they want to use it  

 

The US could really do wonders if they hit particular songs from Sufjan Stevens, Paramore. Canada with Avril Lavigne and Australia with Troye.

 

Good example would be when you've sent Gavin James, he has such amazing music, but thankfully the song you ended up choosing gave at least a fighting chance for other songs in the contest, because it wasn't my top 10 favourite piece of his

Nothing beats cold cucumber or watermelon on a summer's day

Also not my Top 5 Gavin James song, maybe Top 10 though, but still it was among my favourite Irish songs that year so that's where we landed. Other Gavin James songs I liked more kept getting pipped every year for selection so I was like I better select him one of these times

A nice airconditioned room, cold shower or icy water

Would be nice that will win this contest with a song in official language. Enough with foreign language songs wins here 

The United States doesn’t have an “official language,” so I don’t know what you’re on about

airconditioned room can get you sick easily if you dodge in & out of your home

cold shower - you usually immediately start getting sweaty as you get out of your shower to dry off.

icy water I can approve
