November 17, 20213 yr Hey there Lookylion! :hi: Always liked your nation since discovering you this year and your regular participation is great to see! :) Just wanted to make a comment about your entry this month! I only discovered this on the final day of confirmations and once I heard it I thought I had discovered something that sounded unique and uplifting, then I watched the music video and I was sold! I imagine how amazing it would be to see this enter BJSC, so I put it forward only for Captain Addy to inform me that there was already a seat reservation for this song! It turned out to be yourself! :P But of course I am still happy, and if I were in your Semi I would be awarding points but unfortunately I can’t, so I am hoping to see you in the final! Great choice this month indeed! :cheer:

Great choice this month indeed! :cheer: Thank you so much!! :yahoo: I had actually entered a different song, but changed it as soon as I heard Holiday. It's such an iconic, early 90's-esque anthem! Let's hope we'll meet eachother in the grand final!

January 14, 20223 yr Author Are you all ready to go on a Holiday to a sunny island somewhere off the coast of Lookylion for round 141?
January 25, 20223 yr Author For round 141 - I've chosen to enter the most popular and successful Dutch girl group, the Dolly Dots! The Dolly Dots formed in 1979, and released 26 singles from 1979-1987, 25 of which entered the Dutch Top 40. They hit the top of the Dutch chart once, in 1983. They released 8 studio albums, 2 live albums and 5 official compilation albums The group was formed by a production team, who looked for a 5piece band. First Anita, Sjeel, Patty and Esther were recruited, who knew each other from being back up dancers on the Dutch TV show. Angela, an experienced rock singer, was then contacted, but wasn't interested, and she suggested Ria to join the group. In the end, both Angela and Ria joined as all of them got along very well, and the 5piece became a 6piece. They were apparently named after an old comic character, Miss Dolly Dot In 1983, the girls not only released a poptastic album, Display, but they also starred in the own TV comedy show! Looking back, it is extremely dated and cheesy, but gave them their first taste of acting, and showcased some old song but also a brand new song in the leader. In 1984, the band left their record label, WEA, and signed with Ariola. They released a new single and album in the 2nd half of the year; Anita was pregnant of her daughter by then. The other girls flew to Barbados without her to film a TV special showcasing some of the songs on the album - my entry was taken from that album, and was released as a single in Japan only, in 1985. Around this time, a toy company produced Dolly Dots dolls - which were quite popular, but ugly as hell. (I of course have all six!) In 1985, Anita left the group to focus on motherhood. After Anita left, the and went back into the studio; however, with new producers. The new album called "Attention" had a fresh, international sound. So, in 1986 it was finally here, after years of speculation: a Hollywood movie featuring the Dolly Dots. Man, it was BAD! But the music fabulous of course! The final single from the girls was probably their best known on this forum, as it was written and produced by SAW. It however didn't give them the chart success they had hoped for, both in and outside Holland, and not long after it was released, the band announced they would split up in 1988. They reunited briefly in 1998 for the release of a Best Of 2CD, with all sux members, and for a very successful tour in 2007/2008. Sadly, in 2009, Ria died of lung cancer. Early 2020, they announced a reunion tour - which was postponed of course due to the pandemic. It finally premiered in October 2021, but late November, the current lockdown caused trouble again. The women WILL finish the tour, in the Summer. I've seen them twice already, and loved every minute of it. They even recorded a new single for this tour:
February 2, 20223 yr Author For round 142, I went for Norwegian synthpop bliss by Sordal - the album version of Transarctic Lover (no not the Keiino mix). I mean, who doesn't want to move slow like they are Kylie? Edited February 23, 20223 yr by WoW73
