Yes. Last month was the first time

Yes. Last month was the first time

Oh no Cam! What entry did you get vetoed?

I meant stolen xo

 

I can’t remember any of my vetoes... Alice - Running With Lions and Arrhult - Kids Of Paris might be my only ones!

I have been beaten to one other entry since my last post here - IC3PEAK - Грустная Сука / Sad Bitch by Persephonia, a rare entry clash for us both! I recall we finished pretty close together in the end with my replacement so I suppose it worked out OK in the end!

 

Still never been vetoed after 90 contests :angel-old: (having had a snoop, I did come quite close with How I Became the Bomb, which charted on the Billboard and was a big viral hit, but it was a few months later after the hype had died down, as well as Kids of the Apocalypse and Steven Wilson, which were relatively recent releases with decent blog coverage and had past success in the contest)

Rob trying to send the Cum Song was a moment!!!

And then obviously Mette’s Petrified was vetoed last month but I wasn’t even first (or second) to get to that, and I knew I’d be chancing my luck with it anyway after seeing the blog hype around it.

 

OR YOU COULD HAVE JUST NOT!

 

In case anyone hadn't picked up on it up until now, yes Mette - Petrified was me and I would have got a good result last month if Rich hadn't decided to try and switch to it out of the blue and yes I am still salty about it!

 

The only other time since 2014 that I remember being vetoed was when I was completely unaware that Kehlani was actually a known name and got blindsided with a veto for Undercover (and the Akon sample didn't help either!)

 

 

Vetoed for the first time on Nuggets with Architect's Dead Butterflies. However, I feel like I will get vetoed for one of the potentials I send to BJSC this year though. :thinking:

Oops, sorry! Genuinely as I was so intrigued as to how it would have done! I honestly wasn’t sure if anyone would have got to it yet. It wasn’t really out of the blue for me as I’d been considering the switch all week but was waiting to see what the blog coverage was looking like and was worried it was a bit cheap due to that. I wrongly thought I might be able to sneak it in anyway as it hadn’t been mentioned on BJ yet nor was in any personal charts!

 

Also, as a fourth person also confirmed it iirc, they would have triggered the 10 points anyway and it still would have been out! I got my karma by then switching to a DNQ anyway, I should have just switched back to my original entry, not that it would have been big but probably would have qualified.

My only veto (I thinK) was Anita Dobson's reworking of the EastEnders theme, 'Anyone Can Fall in Love' :cheeseblock:

In an update to my previous post: I have had a lot more luck in terms of ''stolen'' entries recently, beating out competition for a number of recent hits including LOVA, Anna B, GRANT etc.

On the other hand, I have also been vetoed many, many times in the last 5/6 years, all in the spirit of keeping the mods busy of course.

Never been vetoed. Brer can fact check that. Had a BUNCH of entries 'stolen', or confirmed before I could, such as Naked and Famous, Higher, another song that reached no.4, and a few others.

I believe that I did get vetoed once for trying to send The Orb's “Little Fluffy Clouds” and forgetting that it actually made the UK Top 10. :(

 

Of course last month I inadvertently entered the song that Bré was intending to send, which hopefully I am forgiven for - and in the first Unknown Pleasures I sent The Naked & Famous' “Young Blood” which I later found out Rich was hoping to send to BJSC (this was long before I ever took part). Generally however I think it is rare for my choices to be on anyone else's radar - probably because they have absolutely no chance, haha.

Funnily enough I was thinking about this yesterday, because Young Blood was on a 2011 German hits compilation I bought recently. Yes it’s true, I was planning to send it to BJSC in something like July 2010 (?) but you beat me to it in UP, such a great track.

I remember math beating me to gravel to tempo by hayley kiyoko a few years ago. I've had a few vetos, hypnotic by zella day and Messiah by prides, I think I ended up being able to send the prior to bjfest or something and the latter to pfsc maybe tho. I did chance my luck the other month with rezz ft pvris sacrificial but aside from that I don't think I've been vetoed

Rob trying to send the Cum Song was a moment!!!

I fully don't even remember this but I'm howling, what a moment in time. What even IS The Cum Song?!

I've been vetoed one time with Warpaint - 'New Song'. I've also been beaten to an entry once (I don't want to call it "stolen" since it was done fairly) and one time I was beaten to an artist but with a different song.

It was that random song someone played on Plug that sampled loads of songs! I distinctly remember Robyn singing ‘I just came’ over and over! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Only been vetoed once with Virtual Self - Particle Arts. I was not expecting it and had to scramble for a replacement and that ended up being my only DNQ that year. I've had plenty of vetoes in Club Bizarre though strangely.

 

Don't think I've ever had an entry "stolen". Think the closest was possibly Disco Fries - Born Ready which I had as a potential for a good while and toyed with entering it but never properly considered doing so. Imagine my bemusement when it finished 4th :P

Still never been vetoed after 90 contests :angel-old:

 

Me also, up on 98. Don't think I'll ever be vetoed at this point, I'm just too skilled at avoiding the mainstream*. I mentioned a few times I came close in my first post in this thread but I think I can only recall one time since that my entry's even been under discussion (yes I have the ability to identify 'nearlies' I'm gonna) and that was back when I sent Japanese Breakfast - in which case the mods voted 0-4 in favour of keeping, largely because it only got flagged because of high blog coverage. I don't think I saw any of that blog coverage.

 

I was going to send Quintessa's YOASOBI entry the other month but saw that Leo had entered it first before I got around to it, other than that, don't think there's been anything else since my first post though I might be forgetting something.

 

*of course if I ever am vetoed, please quote this post and mock me.

then there's me who has suffered through both but i feel like since 120 my entries have gotten progressively cheaper and more veto-challenging

 

is that a bad thing
