Only had one veto to my memory - Kleerup / Susanne Sundfor a couple of months ago, which was hardly surprising.

Still not been vetoed but I think 'I'm Not Your Hero' by Tegen & Sara came pretty close.

 

This one time though, Pavel decided to be a dick (as he is one to be) and spill that I was going for 'Ashes Of My Paradise' - which ended up as my 9th favourite song of last year - so then all of a sudden everybody was after it so I got beaten to it (but it got vetoed in the end so joke's on them). And he stole 'Hyperventilating' from me as well.

 

Basically, blame Pavel!

A San Zhi vs The Shoes remix of Gunshot last month, which I'm still certain would've won, and not because it had the same vocals as a song a few people like at the moment.

 

 

I'm sure it wouldn't have got past Blonde's gigantic points total, it's not that special and I LOVE Lykke.

Ricki-Lee - Happy Ever After was vetoed this time and Lykke Li - No Rest For The Wicked a few months ago, the latter I almost wholly thought would be vetoed but I thought I'd give it a try and I had little else to enter that month! I didn't think the former would be (it wasn't a shock or anything I just thought it would be ok). My veto points fluctuate a lot, sometimes they'll be 0 and sometimes they'll be on like 10-15 oops! I sent Happy Ever After this month for example because it's my favourite song atm that wouldn't be an instant veto, tbf I forgot about Burn It Down coming top 10 (obviously I remember Raining Diamonds winning) despite it being one of my fave songs by her! She hasn't had any proper Aussie hits since Raining Diamonds except Do Ir Like That in 2012 so I thought it would be ok to send but then I remembered there was Burn It Down, then I went to look at the songs of BJSC thread and Parachute/Wiggle It were DNQs as well! So I guess it wasn't a huge shock.

 

As for stolen, I think the biggest one in my mind I was set on was Outta My Head by Diandra which iirc Jahq "stole" but it got veto'd anyway, although it was resent the following month by someone else and came 6th! Nabiha - Trouble was "stolen" initially I remember, but whoever sent it ahead of me re-confirmed so I got that one in the end and it was a top 10. I don't recall anything else being "stolen".

Bumping because I think this is SO important.

 

I think the only time it's almost happened to me was last month when Ultraviolence mentioned that she wanted to send in Katy Tiz, who was one of my potentials for that contest. While I already confirmed when she sent me her potentials (A-Trak - best decision EVER), it was still kinda baffling to see it get vetoed. :P

 

(Then again, close to top 50 in Australia is more veto-worthy than just scraping the top 100 in Canada)

I have no idea what you're even on about with that Kelly Sweet bitch :') And I found Hyperventilating on my own without your floppy self thanks hen

 

Basically, can't win on ha own so blaming everyone else for ha floppage. Poor hen :')

In response to the thread title, YES AND YES. Many many times in both cases, oops.

 

I think I could be approaching double figures in terms of vetoes now, ha. And I've had a couple of entries (or at least artists) stolen by Hendinia, most recently Allie X last month. There was also a horrible month where my top 2 potentials, SZA and Man Without Country were both cruelly stolen from me too. Plus I lost out on sending Octahate last summer too (which was vetoed anyway) and back in 2012 I tried to send Fall 4 U (Feat. Glasser) too and more which I have forgotten.

Not yet :P but who would want my floppy entries :lol:

Tried confirming SNBRN feat. Kerli but was too late and it then got vetoed. Yu got it the following month and won with it.

Then tried Give Me The Knife and it got vetoed too.

 

And last year I tried to confirm Karl x Johan's Flames and got vetoed as it won UP. I replaced it with 'Centrum' which I didn't know was another UP entry, oops.

Ouch, you poor thing :(

Sorry John!

 

My vetoed entries from memory:

 

- Stockholm Syndrome - Karma

- Purity Ring - Fineshrine

- Allie X - Catch

- Vanbot - Hold This Moment

 

I think that's it. I've been beaten to a few entries in the past though, 'Not That Kinda Girl' by Kim Lian/Linda Bengtzing, 'Give Me That O' by Rebecca Stella, and probably many more I can't remember.

Oh, and 'The Cum Song'. Lol.

But you ended up getting Allie X into the contest anyway :P

My only vetoed entry was:

 

Slayyyter - Mine (which I sent knowing it probably was going to be but if anyone was having it, it was me x)

 

And I lost my entry this month for what has to be the first time ever? LOL. So quite lucky in that regard!

like 10 times by now x

Lol since my original post in this thread I did get vetoed once (highly unjustly for the time might I add!!1) with 'Oh My Darling Don't Cry' by Run The Jewels. That one incident with TĀLĀ is still the only time I had an entry blocked and is still for the better xx (of course I now have access to the entry list which should prevent that from ever happening again, not that it's ever that likely to x)

I am the queen of this rn :cry:

 

this contest: the bitch that stole my entry better watch their back cos I've been wanting to send this artist since they've started their career, and then I lose out by 9 microseconds when this artist finally has a song worth sending :lol: :cry: xxx

last contest: Maisie Peters - John Hughes Movie - automatic veto, because as if she'd acc chart on week 1 with a song for the first time

contest before: Griff - Black Hole - veto - had zero idea it was doing well on Apple Music at the time

contest before: I could've snuck drivers license through based on the timing but who knows if it would've happened

contest before: Claudia Valentina - 4:15 - kye got there first!

 

I'd love to see how many veto's I've had over my time in this contest, it's been a lot :lol: I don't think I've ever lost too many songs though iirc

 

(2 I remember are Katy Tiz - Whistle (While You Work It), which I still think was unfair & shouldn't have been vetoed x, and Sabrina Carpenter - Thumbs, which I obvs sent as my anniversary entry at a later point and won with, as well as winning the contest thumbs was vetoed in with my replacement entry :kink:)

As mentioned in the other thread I was beaten to Koven - Get This Right which placed 3rd while my back-up was my biggest flop ever *_*! I think that's the only time I've been beaten to an entry. I've found other songs that have gone on to do really well but I was never planning on sending them anyway.

 

Kelela - 'LMK' is still my only veto due to blog coverage! That did end up getting its moment in a spin-off eventually.

I was vetoed with I Didn’t See It Coming by Belle & Sebastian - apparently the main reason is because they had had a recent top 40 UK album - although this song wasn’t on that :lol: I should have appealed against that one tbh, I still don’t think it’s a good enough reason to veto the song, which is hardly well known.

 

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.

 

Stolen is not a word I’d use, unless somebody saw a song in your potentials thread and swiped it, but there have been a couple of occasions people have been quicker off the mark than me, namely Goliath last year, which I didn’t actually even bother try to confirming because I got to the thread halfway through the week and knew it would be gone by then.

Edited April 11, 20214 yr by gooddelta

I don’t think this has happened to me so far.

 

Also, I don’t think I’ve ever confirmed a song that someone else tried to enter too. Generally I guess that’s because I don’t always go for brand new releases, although this month’s is quite recent, so it’s plausible someone might have tried to enter it if they knew about it and liked it as I do.
