confirmed but changed my entry - it may be vetoed or already been sent eek.

 

 

 

vetoed as i expected but had to try as it's a B O P

 

luckily i had a backup, i hope that's not gone :(

I Don't Know Why is INCREDIBLE, one of my fave songs of the year it's just so perfectly euphoric :heart:

luckily i had a backup, i hope that's not gone :(

 

Your backup is fine! x

Is my backup okay? I was going to send chilled bop Koto & AlunaGeorge - Alone With You

I found a backup in the end, I was meant to change it over the weekend, hoping the track does well, its sounds pretty 80s (Depeche Mode (ish)) :D :lol:

 

And for the record that was my first veto :o

Your backup is fine! x

 

 

phew! thanks x

Out of My Head tho, what a tune *.*.*

I was SO close to sending this and needless to say I am glad that I didn’t

 

 

 

Out of My Head tho, what a tune *.*.*

 

I come clean that was my entry :snif:

 

If Camden hadn't just had a 2nd place with 'Healing' I think 'Apart' could have been a winning contender too, and 'Without You' probably would've also done well. I had another song of hers, 'Stay The Night' with Just Kiddin, on my potentials list toward the end of last year which I also recommend if you like her other tracks. May as well shout out 'Mind Control' with Joe Stone too.

Considering a last minute entry change due to certain...insensitive things in the music video. Drama lama feckin ding dong!

I knew anything Camden Cox attached will be veto worthy but I had to try!!!

 

oh if that would've got past the veto i would've sent that!

PS y'all I'm extending the deadline date into tomorrow mid-afternoon in case anyone has changes or still wants to enter.

 

Tell yer pals, it would be cool to hit 60 :lol: despite the number of banned nations this month

 

xox

So the verdict is in, I've flippety flipped to another track by the same artist that's kinda "take an ethnopop but make it dancebloc" and importantly there's no blackface in the music video this time!

We should get there, we're at 58 atm and just missing a couple of the usual countries who often/always confirm at the last minute. (61 is the magic number we need to have 20 qualifiers per semi but I reckon we should get there as well x)

 

Currently only missing these who entered last month and aren't banned:

 

Daehun

Frandoot

Kathaldazia *

Lotunia

Trifoski

 

* they did confirm a song but sadly have since withdrawn x

Update: we have got to 61 with Daehun, Frandoot and Trifoski all in, hooray! (Still no Lotunia yet though, hmm x)

Confirmed.
