BuzzJack Music Forum _ Pop and Country _ PFSC XIV 🦇 THE UNMASKING
Posted by: Ansel 2nd November 2023, 04:46 PM
Two nights after Halloween, the votes were all tallied So to the results thread the entrants all rallied To find out the scores and uncover the winner Come back around 8 once I've finished my dinner
It's almost time to discover who's hiding behind each entry and which song will triumph as the spookiest piece of dark pop perfection! Results will start some time between 19:30-20:00 tonight. Hope to see you here then, feel free to start speculating below 🔮✨
I am quietly hopeful I may do fairly well here (and if I don't you're all wrong because my song is a banger) x
Very interested to see how Baby Storme and Yaeger end up doing here. I can see them both being pretty big regardless of the impact of being in 2 contests at once.

Hoping for a decent finish for mine as it's a cute bop!

Can’t wait to completely flop in this
Posted by: Jade 2nd November 2023, 05:46 PM
interested to see if the artist I originally confirmed ends up doing better or not.

I only discovered He Stranger earlier this year on Now 80s Alternative, Anne was a French chanteuse on Trevor Horn’s label but despite a lot of hype she never charted sadly. The video is very mid 80s London, seedy but artistic.

Whoddy!!! fantastic choice!
Posted by: Brer 2nd November 2023, 08:22 PM
Oop missed the very start of this but I'm here now!
The Annie song was definitely among the less fitting songs for the theme (although quite a few were pretty tenuous) but still was a fan of the song. And great pick from Nate, Mareux are 4 for 4 on good song contest entries x really liked the CRIMER song too.
I remember thinking the kmoe song sounded like a Seven entry so it being !!! makes sense given Seven didn't actually enter this. Quite surprised to see that one taking the early lead!
Also was fairly sure Anne Pigalle would be Rollo (actually my first thought was WoW73 but he also didn't enter)

Hey Ansel! Thanks for hosting this contest, I just want to add that I think you're one of the most positive members of BuzzJack, always cheerful and helpful and even though this is your first hosted contest it was done very maturely and competently, so thanks for the effort in putting everything together for us all!
Here are the votes;

I might add that in my own opinion only this was a very weak contest for dark entries, but perhaps my expectations shouldn't have been so high, but my own entry seemed to get decent reaction on the listenthrough so regardless what happens I am pleased about that.

The ZAND song was a pretty strong opener, took me a moment to get used to the CORPSE-esque vocals but the production was *.* - nice to see that near the top now (and I wouldn't say no to any of the current top 3 winning x)
Enigma popping up in a 'pop' contest was a bit odd but still a cool song as ever from them.

Well I got off to a great start starting to slip a bit now though (not helped by duplicitous Wombats snubbing me despite saying on SyncTube they found the song already and should have kept it as a potential entry themselves ), hope I can at least stay top 10 still x This was literally the first song I clicked on when searching (a wild /r/listentothis find) but I was kind of immediately bowled over by it, such a killer chorus (pun semi intended), glad it's found a few other big fans x
Thanks muchly to Jim and Jordan for the 12s so far plus a further medal position from Nate and other points from Ansel, Rich, Whoddy, Calum, Jade and Wardy
The Desire in the lead now *.* I noticed that / its parent EP had a really low play count on Spotify so very interested to find out who sent that one, a great obscure find x

Travis’s entry was (G)I-DLE - I Want That.

Oops, I'm sorry Ansel - I was away this weekend and completely forgot to send off my votes before I left. I'm sorry too for any controversy my entry caused, I panicked into sending something and probably should have taken more time over my entry.
Anyway, that aside some interesting discoveries here. My votes are as follows:
12 KIWI “Paranoje” 10 Survival Guide “Lady Neptune” 08 Depeche Mode “Waiting For The Night” 07 Mareux “Little Lies” 06 Enigma “Gravity Of Love” 05 Crimer “I Want You To Know” 04 Annie “Forever ’92” 03 DeathbyRomy “Beautiful Mayhem” 02 kmoe “nerve” 01 Anne Pigalle “He! Stranger”
Thank you for hosting x
Next we're off to current scoreboard leader ☠️ Skeleton and 🧟 Zombie!

I opted for Baby Storme in BJSC and went for the artist I would have sent as a backup had that been taken… except she was already releasing several Halloween ready bops prior to this so I couldn’t choose bc I loved them all. Then this was released the Friday on confirmations week so I leaped at the opportunity. Hell week indeed 😵💫😵💫😵💫I thought the concept was pretty broad so I hope y’all enjoyed a bit of hyperpop 💜💜💜
Posted by: Brer 2nd November 2023, 09:20 PM
Thanks Doctor B for the silver, that will help *.* I was kind of hoping Yaeger would turn out to be Cody's entry just for the lolz tbh, Doctor Blind/Rob is a slightly more unexpected crossover - a good song anyway, much better than Yaeger's last BJSC entry.

Did I make that misspelling when I entered it? :x I apologise if so, I should've corrected that as it's gonna irritate me now x
Thank you for the points so far, I can't pretend this is the most inspired pick as it's yet another recycle and over a year old now, but it was one of many great songs from La Femme's album last year.
The top of the pack here were really good, great to see KIWI, ZAND and Desire doing so well so far.

It was close between 11th and 10th so I went with the one that fit the theme better (I see you were browsing r/listentothis at a similar time I was!)

awwww I was hoping you will predict (G)I-DLE as I charted their song as well and pretended I don't know them

Thanks to Doctor B, Jade, Addy, Brer, Chez & Wardy for the points!!!! I would not be opposed for a win for The Desire!

Pff, I still think it fits the theme pretty well, read the lyrics without the music and tell me it's not super morbid xx
I think the post there was actually about a month old when I found it, I just searched for 'synthpop' as I hoped that might produce something sufficiently poppy and gloomy.

Omg Meekul is absolutely popping off with the spooky entries between this and the current BJSC I'd love to know how you came across this song, reminded me a lot of Boy Harsher, what a tune x
And oh yeah Rollo sending Depeche Mode again makes sense I guess sending Depeche Mode to song contests on here is getting a bit played out but I can't complain too much when the songs still keep being pretty great every time, I'm slowly learning their back catalogue by force x Thanks for the points in return also!

Thanks Joop for the last few points (and aw your entry deserved better than that).
Leww is not who I'd have guessed to be behind Baby Storme here either but great song. Although lemme not vote for it in BJSC now because Cor Lupus make it bad x

Congratulations uhsting! Thank you to everyone for taking part, I hope you enjoyed it and made some discoveries along the way
Elliot Lee a doomed artist then it would seem oops. Shame because I found it rather cute and on theme but maybe a bit childish too so perhaps why many pop people snubbed.
Oh wow at Leww possibly winning this *.*
Or not Congrats Jack WOWWWWWWWWW. Great track and thanks for hosting Ansel. Been a good contest!

and oh 20th whilst not brilliant is alright a result. Was kinda hoping for about 5 or so places higher but nevermind. At least it's not Bottom 5!
Posted by: uhsting 2nd November 2023, 09:43 PM
OMGGGGG my second win in PFSC!!! WOWWWWWWW!!!! Thank you for the huge support to my Polish dark pop entry! I was flipping through my potentials and this sounds very fitting to the theme. I kinda wanted to send this to the main contest so I'm happy it got the attention here! Thank you for 12 points from Doctor Blind, 10 points from Bre and Nate, and 8 points from Chez, Dobbo and J00p!! Thanks for all the high pointers as well
Thank you Ansel for choosing this theme and hosting the competition! I love the font in the scoreboard Love the Halloween-themed disguise too It was a pleasure to be in this contest and great to have discovered some nice bops too!
Posted by: Brer 2nd November 2023, 09:44 PM
Congrats uhsting, excellent winner there and my top 3 finished as the overall top 3 (albeit in a slightly different order) I voted for the entire top 8 as well, aside from myself ofc - 6th 7th place is a good enough position to validate my rare delusion of feeling like a contender, nicely makes up enough for my complete tank in BJSC this month (part of me kind of wishes I just sent this song to BJSC instead honestly as I feel like it's strong enough for that and I don't send songs this poppy there often enough but then I'd have had to spend more time to find another song to send here when I was already quite late )
There have been quite a few times in the spinoffs / genre forum contests recently where the top end of the results has tracked very closely with my own votes, but doesn't seem to pan out when including the other 30 odd people who only enter BJSC (I guess that is also a wider field of songs tbf)
Yaeger being as 'low' as 11th is a little bit of a surprise as I still feel like that's a contender to win in BJSC, guess we'll see how that plays out soon ~
Thanks for hosting Ansel, enjoyed this theme as expected even with a good handful of people only very tenuously sticking to it.
Posted by: gooddelta 2nd November 2023, 09:44 PM
Well done Uhsting!
Gosh, that's interesting that Yaeger missed the top ten - was easily my favourite in this selection but has me doubting its BJSC chances a bit, I had it down as a possible winner.
Not displeased with the result for He Stranger, it felt like it really stood out as a very old sounding song
Thanks Ansel for hosting - fab spin-off, lots to love here, although definitely a few that missed the theme completely imo.
Posted by: Jade 2nd November 2023, 09:46 PM
Absolutely chuffed with 4th place for a last minute back-up!! Think that's my third best result here after a 2nd and 3rd place in the past.
Congrats uhsting gave your entry 7 points so pretty pleased with that as a winner. Just realised I am sandwiched between my 12 and 10, oh my *.*
Thanks very much for this, Ansel <3 always a sucker for a dark contest.
Posted by: All★bySmashMouth 2nd November 2023, 09:47 PM
Well done to everyone!
I guess that's that. I cannot be certain I'll be back in the next PFSC. I thought this theme was super cool and I got ideas of what to enter.
I mean, I don't have to force myself to participate in a lot of contests (it can be hard to be comfortable/confident about my choices).

Congrats uhsting! Fantastic entry and I certainly can't complain at all my top 3 being in the top 5, I voted for all but two in the top 10, and they were both very close so you could certainly call that a spooktacular result x
Happy with 14th as it's a lot better than how I was doing earlier and is a bit better than how Divine Creature fared, Up with French forever x
Thank you for the great hosting Ansel, always an enjoyable theme despite some not being suitable I'll shut up now x

Congratulations to uhsting on another win and thanks to Ansel for an excellent hosting job.
Thanks to all who gave some points to Depeche Mode. When the theme of dark pop came up, Waiting For The Night was the first song I thought of.

Posted by: jimwatts 2nd November 2023, 11:00 PM
Congratulations uhsting your entry was just outside my votes and I voted for everything from 2nd-9th, so a great set of results overall!
I found my entry a while ago and had to enter it somewhere just because of the title (another story), so a bit of shoehorning, but I didn't think it was as far off-theme as some were suggesting plus this may be me being out of touch, but I thought a "pop bop" would need to be reasonably uptempo - I had another much darker but slower song in mind for a Halloween type contest which I thought less appropriate to this particular theme, but maybe I'll save that for another time... anyhoo my record of either top 7 or missing the top 20 for song contests in 2023 continues (6 of the former, 11 of the latter), thank you to Addy for 6 points, and the other 6 voters.
Thank you Ansel for hosting!
Posted by: Cody Lawson 2nd November 2023, 11:32 PM
congrats uhsting! gave that 6 points and most of my faves did extremely well so glad to see it!

Congrats uhsting, yours was my fave out of the main contenders!
I'm fine with 22nd and happy that five people voted for 'Follow Me'. I'd originally saved it for BJSC but I think this result shows it would've done poorly there. Glad I shared it here instead, I think it fit the theme well but apols if anyone disagrees.
This was the first Halloween or Halloween-adjacent contest I've taken part in, but hopefully not the last! Thanks Ansel for hosting!
