Saturday Reject: Janet Leon – Hollow

“It’s just not right.”

Tim: On the night, this was one of my predictions to go straight through to the final; in the end, it came eighth. That’s disappointing.

Tim: Now, I don’t want to be as rude as I was a couple of weeks ago, but really, last place? This is, as far as I can tell, a genuinely spot on piece of pop music, and surely one that even non-pop fans can appreciate as a possible victor.

Tom: And again, I’m not hearing it. It’s slow, the vocals don’t seem to properly harmonise, and the chorus is basically a dull version of Little Boots’ Remedy.

Tim: Oh, come one. Admittedly, that week we had Janet, Linda and the awful Ellinore competing for female pop vocalist of the night, so some vote-splitting may be inevitable, but seriously, last place for this versus an Andra Chansen placing for Ellinore? It’s just not right. To be honest, if Alcazar hadn’t qualified straight through to the final I think I’d have entirely given up hope.

Tom: Speak for yourself: it seems about right to me.
