Posted February 19, 20214 yr It's back! After the successful first run of the AF Idol spin-off last year featuring artists chosen by the Inner Circle and management, we're opening this one up to YOU - eight artists will take part in eight rounds hoping to be crowned the AF Idol Spin-Off 2.0 winner, and you'll get a widget too, just like Jay did last year after winning with Carly Rae Jepsen! Firstly though, some guidelines and clarifications. Please read these carefully! - Confirmations will open at 7pm on Sunday. They will be FIRST COME FIRST SERVED which is why we're giving you advance notice. - You must confirm with the names of TWO ARTISTS - one as your top choice and one as your reserve, just in case we have a clash. - The list of themes is below. We suggest that you plan ahead for your two possible artists to make sure you have songs to fit every theme, as we're not bending the definitions later down the line. We recommend your artist has a minimum of two options per round, just to be safe, though three would be ideal. - None of the Inner Circle or management are taking part this time. - AF mods - as you guys take part more heavily in the normal AF Idol, we want to open this up to more of the general Buzzjack population. Therefore, only a maximum of 2 AF mods will be allowed to take part - the first two to confirm, as long as you're within the first eight confirmations. If no AF mods are within the first eight, no places are reserved and we'll have eight non-AF mods taking part. - You cannot repeat an artist used already, or an artist that already has an AF. The AF list is here and last year's spin-off artists are here. - All artists will take part in all rounds - there will be no eliminations and the winner will be decided by average votes received, with the Inner Circle counting down results at the end of all eight rounds. - When you plan out, please remember that all singles must be fully released and promoted - no "radio single in Italy" kinda things. An "era" includes re-issues - they are not separate eras. THEMES 1. Free choice 2. First OR last single from an era (you will have the choice of either the first or last single released from any album era by your artist) 3. Free album track choice 4. Free choice 5. Uptempo album track 6. Free choice 7. Should've been a single 8. Song to win (biggest hit / most loved song - end on a high!) Please ask any questions NOW before confirmations begin on Sunday! The AF Inner-Circle moderators have agreed that the following artists CANNOT be used, due to them already being involved in at least one round of AF Idol before. - Ariana Grande - Beyoncé & Destiny's Child (or Solo) - Billie Eilish - Britney Spears - Calvin Harris - Carly Rae Jepsen - Charli XCX - Coldplay - Dua Lipa - Ellie Goulding - Fifth Harmony (or Solo) - Girls Aloud (or Solo) - Gorillaz - Greyson Chance - Hailee Steinfeld - Janet Jackson - Katy Perry - Kelly Clarkson - Kim Petras - Kylie Minogue (or Dannii Minogue) - Lady Gaga - Lana Del Rey - Little Mix - Madonna - Maren Morris - Mariah Carey - One Direction (or Solo) - Paramore - P!nk - Pixie Lott - Rihanna - Rita Ora - Röyksopp - S Club 7 (or Solo) - Shawn Mendes - Spice Girls (or Solo) - Take That (or Solo) - Taylor Swift - The Saturdays (or Solo) - The Weeknd - Tinashe - Tove Lo - Zara Larsson So any other artist who has previously had an Artist Forum on here but not taken part in this game, are available to be used.
February 19, 20214 yr How exciting!!! I have two artists in mind if I can get in there quick enough as an AF mod :kink:
February 19, 20214 yr Open to anyone and everyone with a Buzzjack account! Excited to see what artists will be used! :o
February 19, 20214 yr oooh this is exciting! Would any artists that used to have an AF be eligible? For example I thought of Lana Del Rey who I know doesn't have an AF anymore and wasn't in the previous spin-off round but may have been in previous years? (idk) just a thought!

That’s a good question, we will provide an answer shortly.

February 19, 20214 yr I've got some bad ideas for this that I kinda love! :lol: ...If I remember. :rolleyes:
February 19, 20214 yr Set your alarms/reminders guys! Omg hype! Knowing my luck I won't make it in though 😂😭 I can imagine some of the artists you could consider for this and honestly PLEASE get in quick because I'd be so here for them *.*
February 19, 20214 yr Hopefully I get in so we can be livin it up with one of the best r&b female discogs of all time *.*
February 19, 20214 yr I will be supporting and giving expert AF Idol mod advice to whoever picks Jess Glynne :cheer:
February 19, 20214 yr I have 2 artists in mind but will most likely forget to confirm in time for this. :(
February 20, 20214 yr Please do apply one and all! This is very fun to do and you will have me to rely on to fight the war on pop B-)
February 20, 20214 yr Yes I have my thoughts! How do I submit do I send a message or post on this topic?
February 20, 20214 yr Yes I have my thoughts! How do I submit do I send a message or post on this topic? It will either be done via PM or Google! We will have all announcements ready before 7pm on Sunday!
February 20, 20214 yr Excited for this and I definitely would like to have a chance in this. 2 artists I have in mind are so polarizing...one being successful pretty much only in 90's and the other mostly in 00's :cheer:
February 20, 20214 yr I don’t really know why I keep opening this thread whenever anyone replies to it! :lol: It’s not like I have any involvement here and as most the artist forum mods know anyway I barely even get involved in the artist forums so it wouldn’t be right to participate, plus I haven’t got any experience of the previous AF Idol events. I’ll happily be a casual observer though. ^_^
