June 1, 201510 yr Hasn't On The Regular been vetoed before? Bit shady considering the fuss that was made about Michael's entry. This is true, BUT I think the difference here is that On The Regular (and Shamir in BJSC I guess) is considerably less egregious when it comes to trying to get one past the veto/mods than a song from a multiple entrant remixed by another big name act who has had a UK #1 single.
June 1, 201510 yr I don't think it's necessarily fair to just say 'NO vetoed track can EVER be tried again'. The conditions that make a song veto worthy aren't always the same from month to month and especially if it's been a long time since the veto (On The Regular was vetoed last year, for example) then the hype may have died down and thus the song is no longer worthy of being vetoed. However, I do think it's something which needs to be clarified to try and avoid these situations in the future, but the wording of such an amendment is far trickier than it might initially seem.
June 1, 201510 yr It was an autoveto. It was on the R1 playlist at the start of the year and that's what made it a veto. If it was to be re-entered into the normal contest this month it would have gotten through. Plus the veto tweak means that some of the points it got you can't even get points for anymore. As much as I dislike vetoed tracks being re-entered, this one doesn't really annoy me much.
June 1, 201510 yr oh god having a bit of an Electro Velvet moment in that my entry sounds great in studio (Youtube) form but the live performance (mp3) is a bit dodgy :/ guess it's my own fault but surely a Youtube rip would've sufficed?
June 1, 201510 yr Had no idea the Arthur theme was sung by an ACTUAL famous artist, thanks for the introduction Bray.
June 1, 201510 yr that was literally what i was going to enter until i found something else so i KNOW it must've been oliver cos we both stan for it
June 1, 201510 yr OMG SOMEONE ENTERED BASSLINE TOO amazing choice. i was going to enter that last year to bjfest as well but obvs peggy lee had 2 come first. surprised someone thought of it for this year!
June 1, 201510 yr I'm counting on you liking it Klum! :lol: Isn't this a chipmunked version of a song we'd otherwise shrug our shoulders at? This comment in the Hey QT youtube comments is resonating strongly with me atm :lol:
June 1, 201510 yr Still waiting to unzip ha :drama: Bassline tho :music: I think that was on 4music and wanted it to do well but flopped to the low top 200 :(
June 1, 201510 yr This comment in the Hey QT youtube comments is resonating strongly with me atm :lol: :(
June 1, 201510 yr Just finished listening to CD 1, the quality is just as good as a BJSC semi (if not better)!
June 1, 201510 yr :( In that I feel bad for liking now only because it's been chipmunked! It's just a bog-standard pop track otherwise.
