July 22, 201212 yr It's only a "sort of" risk. It's still a pretty "safe"/ordinary pop song. I just don't think it'll do too well as it's about God and the group I'm sending are a Christian group and they were dubbed "the Christian Black Eyed Peas" back when they were a four piece. Not so much with this song and I'd say it's a modern day Joan Osborne "One Of Us". It's so uplifting and feel good though! I sent an old Christian pop song a while back and no-one noticed (Shell Perris), although the lyrics were quite vague in the one I sent, some of her other songs are certainly not, I don't think it can be a barrier if it's a good pop song. I don't want to sell out but my main option could be doing that and I have a feeling others are after that, it's a STUNNING song though. I don't really have any other options at the moment so I'm still searching.

I just thought it was the typical "be true to who you are" sort of song. But with a more upbeat and uptempo production than the likes of 'Perfect', 'Firework', 'Who You Are' etc... I dunno. I'm hoping it does well, but I wouldn't be too surprised to see myself get another DNQ. I've become immune to them this year :P
July 22, 201212 yr May be going with a bit of a retro/80s sounding song this contest!. Although I may not be able to take part at all depending on when the contest starts (holiday commitments!)
July 22, 201212 yr Author i would be glad to leww sent your way! hit me bitch (but i'll hit you back too). thank you bb bish (you'll definitely know all three methinks SO it'll be easy enough) ---------------------------------- thanks everyone for their positive comments re: artwork && theme, muchos appreciados amigos! especially you david ILU2 gurl http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/style_images/1/folder_post_icons/icon12.gif

I don't really have any other options at the moment so I'm still searching. is the song you're sending the one we mutually like like? because if it's not, you should send that <3
July 22, 201212 yr I'm sticking with my boring sound as usual, just hoping something new pops up before the start of confirmation. Looking less likely as the new releases this year isn't anywhere near as good as last year..
July 22, 201212 yr Happy to offer a 2nd (or 4th?) opinion Leww... although I may send you mine also, hopefully it fits in with your contest ethos, I'm thinking of going rap.[/contestsuicide]
July 22, 201212 yr Gorgeous presentation as expected <3 My entries are 'risks' to some extent the vast majority of the time so this shall just be a normal contest for me really! I'm gonna struggle with the mp3 thing though. I'm utterly clueless with these sort of things. Anyway, I have 4 potential entries already and I can't decide between them, so if anyone wants to listen to them and help me decide that'd be cool! Three of them are fairly similar sounding vaguely indie songs with female vocals and the fourth is an Azealia Banks-esque female rapper. I was going to go back in the 'electronic' direction this contest but decided not to.

July 22, 201212 yr I get the feeling these rap possibilities are the same artist I've been musing over... Also leww I'm here if you need a tenth opinion, and Bre I'd be happy to peruse yours too!
July 22, 201212 yr I'll listen Bre, if only so you can discount the one(s) I like. So basically not discounting any of them then! :P I get the feeling these rap possibilities are the same artist I've been musing over... Also leww I'm here if you need a tenth opinion, and Bre I'd be happy to peruse yours too! Oops, I think I do have the same person as at least Dandy* (but it's merely a potential and so I might not end up sending her at all) :drama: This is the first time ever I might possibly be in a confirmation battle if so, rather against the spirit of a contest where I'm supposed to take a risk ha. I shall PM both of you in a sec.
July 22, 201212 yr If you send the same as me Bré I shall be GUTTED. There's been literally no mention of said act on this forum at all (aside from in my personal chart!) That pesky Randomfurlong too! :( Actually, Bré/RF, more than happy to help you pick also if you need help? will totally go for whatever you're thinking of sending that isn't the same as mine
July 22, 201212 yr I have two possibilities, both are different to what I usually send in a sense. One of them is sort of like an pop indie track, but I think it does have a wave of dance through it, and the other is a month old K-Pop track which worries me that those have heard it, may be bored of it.
July 22, 201212 yr Well, needless to say, those graphics look amazing leww, well done. I have an entry and I love it atm so I'm gonna go with it, fortunately enough, I do think it has a reasonably good chance of doing well...unless someone else is also after this, which they may be, but then again, I'm quite surprised no one went for it last contest if that was the case. I will need to check the dates though, my job starts next weekend so I'll need to see if I have enough time on my hands to listen to all the songs this month... Edited July 22, 201212 yr by C.W
July 22, 201212 yr Author Also leww I'm here if you need a tenth opinion, and Bre I'd be happy to peruse yours too! thank you for the offer but i think i know what i'm sending now! ^_^ and i think you probably would've echoed what i / those i pm'd were thinking as well so it would be a waste of your time! i can listen to yours if you need it tho? x

Thank you back, I'm still gathering possibilities but I'll hit u back later in the week if that's okay?
