Now coming to add at least 3 to my list this year - going to see Billie Eilish and Lana Del Rey (the latter hopefully second time lucky after I was meant to see her in 2020 but got cancelled x), both of whom were sent to BJSC before they blew up, and the former has announced support acts today and my date is getting 5 time entrants Magdalena Bay

I'm seeing the OG K3 live

I have seen a lot of my entries, which sometimes end up in me wanting to send them after — Fcukers and Faux Real especially were the most fun (well, Faux Real were semi-unhinged)

DEBBY FRIDAY
Charlotte Adigéry & Bolis Pupul and Sudan Archives (both at the same festival)

For me it was Sugababes & MKS, Laura Critchley, Dragonette, Gabriella Cilmi, Little Nikki and that’s all I can think of from my entries.

 

Of others entries I’ve seen: Måns Zelmerlöw, Sanna Nielsen (a true f***ing life moment I’m still not quite over yet), Loreen and Caro Emerald (4 times already and I’ve just booked my ticket to see her for the 5th time on her 5th UK tour).

I've seen quite a few of my entrants live, I've seen all but Red Blooded Women from my first 11 entires live.

 

I've seen Sugababes 2.0 and Sugababes 3.0. Laura Critchley, Dragonette and Gabriella Cilmi were all support acts for 3.0. I've seen MKS live (so also ticking off Mutya and Siobhan) and their support was Little Nikki.

 

From the first 11 i've also seen Lily Allen and Amy MacDonald. Then there's a massive gap, the downside to my taste widening a bit to include a lot more Scandinavian artists. Recently I've seen Namika and most excitingly for me was Dagny who was wonderful.

 

I'm hoping to see Alvaro Soler in 2020 and I'm considering going to see Nico Santos in April 2020 but I need to get my relocation sorted yet.

 

 

Top of my list to see is Gabrielle. If she announces a headline show I will cancel everything and go immediately. Same for Tone Damli. I would love to see both live.

It’s been a while

But I’ve now also seen Gabrielle and Nico Santos as hoped! I have got only a couple of concerts booked this year but one is Sugababes 1.0 and the other is Gabrielle (and Linken Park) so that’s an exciting few months.

Not on my list of wishes because I didn’t quite think it would ever happen but it did was Delta Goodrem who I’ve now seen THREE times live. The first of which involved the very first FSR Ashvia meet up at Deltas first UK headlining gig. Truly a historic moment. I’ve also seen my very first winner Molly Sandén live who was phenomenal, it’s been a year and I’m still shook. Nina Chuba was also seen last summer.

Since the last update I also saw Mutya at a solo gig at RVT which was incredible. The vibes were immaculate, her lip piercing broke halfway through and then she spontaneously added Suffer For Love to the set list because she was „suffering for us“ a true queen.

I’ve seen Leony twice as well, Remedy remains a banger and goes off live.

That’s about all I can remember. I’ve seen a bunch of ESC acts too lately but none of the ones I’ve seen have been entered into BJSC other than Loreen

Got two pophoe birds with one stone in the form of Sugababes and Rose Gray in one night on Sunday.

Finally!!

After more than 15 years I just booked to see THE Tone Damli in November. Literally gonna be moving house the day before the gig and then flying out leaving my bf to unpack it all 😅😂 but I’ve said for years when she finally does a show I’ll be there regardless of the cost

ACTUALLY i went to the proms to see Dalia Stasevska conducting Górecki's Symphony No. 3 (Lookylion 176)

I don't recognize 3.0 and 4.0 versions as K3. For me the band is over after "K3 Loves You".

Glad to see old K3 comeback.

Three K3 songs (Koning Willem-Alexander, Alice In Wonderland, Kusjesdag) were included in my all-time top 100 girls groups songs.

It is HAPPENING

An artist I fell in love with thanks to BJSC, an artist I have sent many times with two podiums and one utterly robbed victory. An ICON partly responsible for the introduction of the Veto Framework. I am so excited for this
