We've been blown away by the standard of entries for this year's Le Crunch Apple of My Eye Song Contest. Now, it's time to choose the final five.
It was tough to decide on a shortlist but, after some heated arguments and plenty of debate, we have our final 10. Now we need you to cast your votes and decide their fate.
The power is yours.
We've included our shortlist of 10 below and it's up to you to choose who you want to see in the final. The two acts with the most votes will automatically go through to play in Whelan's as part of the final five.
Our judges will then choose the other three acts from our shortlist. So get voting if you want to make sure that your favourite act makes it to the final. You can only vote once so make it count!
