I've always found UP IMPOSSIBLE to predict for some reason, I think the subtlety of most of the stuff and the general lack of discussion/hype anywhere really makes it hard for me to gauge how songs are going to be received.

Taking the plunge, probably going to be hilariously far out ~ None of the songs really screamed winner. A lot of my top 10 prediction is basically just my favourites oop

 

01 Lydia Ainsworth - Malachite

02 T.O.L.D. - Lucifer's Eyes

03 Azedia - Thunder & Lightning

04 Lane 8 feat. Patrick Baker - The One

05 Ghosts - WLVS

06 Lone - Meeker Warm Energy

07 The Radio Dept. - Death To Fascism

08 HÆLOS - Dust

09 Ephera - Alaska

10 Hundred Waters - Murmurs

 

31 Eisblume - Eisblumen

 

Cherry Bomb = titty

Dust = Dandy*

Alaska = SevenSeize

Plateau = gooddelta

Aqua Vitae = Thomsen

 

Johnkm = Moonbootica

popchartfreak = Anna Of The North

Ethan = Pizeta

AntoineTTe = The Preatures

152chris = Lone

 

I'll be here 4 results hopefully (I usually am ~)

 

Did I get even a single part of that right? All will be revealed.

 

(btw what are you supposed to do if you're one of the people in the last 2 questions, which I may or may not be)

That top 10 may/may not make happy reading for Oliver. :D :cry:

Obviously I can't guess - though that would be best chance of getting everything right using a pseudonym :lol:

 

Loving the legion panel chris - my faves were Saturn Girl Matter-Eater Lad and Element Lad in those days. :wub:

 

Did you know: John Peel had a copy of a single by The Legion Of Super Heroes (band) in his Most Precious box of singles?

 

Dream Girl had a musical named after her (sort of)

 

Brainiac 5 has featured in songs.

 

Karate Kid had his name rented for the movie franchise.

 

Star Boy is rumoured to have a huge schlong in fandom, and Element Lad gay (he ended up with a literal transgender girlfriend). Shrinking Violet and Light Lass dumped their boyfriends eventually and hooked up together.

question three l who do you think sent the following songs?

 

00 l The Runaways - Cherry Bomb

00 l >HALOS< - Dust

00 l Ephera - Alaska

00 l r.e.l. - Plateau

00 l Future World Music - Aqua Vitae

 

question four l which song did the following members send?

 

00 l Johnkm

00 l popchartfreak

00 l Ethan

00 l AntoineTTe

00 l 152chris

 

 

I hope I dont give too much away by saying I am definitely one of these 10 people.

That would be a fine Top 2.

it is generally in the character of the competition to keep things more covert and less blase than bjsc. typical jake moaning but we never normally have a predicta thread. it definitely subconsciously influences people whether they'd care to admit or actually even realise

 

IM JUST A MISERABLE MEG I KNOW

Wow, this is really hard... Normally what I'd predict to be last turns out to be a top 5 contender and I'm the only one who doesn't 'get' it.

BUT the predicta thread is a good idea and thanks Bré for being brave enough to start!:D UP deserves the hype!

I totally agree. I dont enter BJSC so I can't compare but I like the level of discretion we have in UP. In fact, I'm the person who points out their favourites most. I should quit that.

I dont like hype. I know it's fun for some people but the flood of "slaying" and "faves" references does not need to pervade every part of the site.

Don't forget the GIFs...

I defo think aqua vitae is eyes but the rest I'm gonna have to think on. as for a winner I actually don't have a CLUE.
and two entries in bre's top five were in my potentials. WHY. let me stop whining though because I adore my entry ~

Edited by M¤th

Bre's top 5 would be a travesty in my opinion. Too much sub-BJSC mush there.

 

Thank f*** somebody had the balls/lack of brains to enter Goat.

No way it'll win but what a tune and the Where the Wild Things Are on acid video is great.

GOAT is terrific. I'm really looking forward to the results evening, oh so much I want to comment about so many songs...

 

doh!

I doubt my prediction will actually be anywhere near reality, the only song I'm quite sure will do well is 'Malachite'. It may just be the lack of discussion/'hype' but UP really is extremely difficult to call compared to BJSC.
Best UP in years - found 3 great songs and perhaps one of the future faves. Their album sounds interesting, been spotifying it.
