September 3, 20222 yr Author Goldfinger - Superman - WhoOdyssey WhoOdyssey sent this number from punk and ska rock 90s band, Goldfinger, most popularly used in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater alongside many other things I haven't experiened oop x Sadly Whoddy has seemingly forgotten about this completely, as no votes were submitted, moving on to 99 with an action movie that offered you the glimpse of a world never seen before... Sister Sway - Until You Saved My Life - gooddelta It can only have been gooddelta who sent a UK Eurovision reject from 1999, we finished 12th that year but maybe we could've done better with this stomping fast-paced singalong song, it's quite an experience x 12 Points: Killer - Liar 10 Points: Plumb - Real 8 Points: Robyn feat. O.C. & Rahzel - Show Me Love (QD3 Fat Boy Remix) 7 Points: K-Otic - I Surrender 6 Points: Emma Pollock - Adrenaline 5 Points: Aqua - Back To The 80’s 4 Points: Tilly And The Wall - Beat Control 3 Points: Jane Child - Don't Wanna Fall in Love 2 Points: Clout - Save Me 1 Point: Ace Of Base - Happy Nation 46 Plumb - Real 45 Jane Child - Don't Wanna Fall in Love (Riser) 45 Aqua - Back to the 80s 43 Lenka - Trouble is a Friend 40 Tilly And The Wall - Beat Control 37 Vanessa Paradis - Be My Baby (Tafty) 36 Exposé - Point of No Return (J00prstar) 33 Robyn feat. O.C. & Rahzel - Show Me Love (QD3 Fat Boy Remix) (Vibe) 31 Ace Of Base - Happy Nation (Addy!) 29 Laura Branigan - Shattered Glass (Qween) 29 Killer - Liar 26 The Asteroids Galaxy Tour - Around the Bend 24 Perfume - Electro World 24 Four Below Zero - My Baby's Got ESP (Original 12" Mix) (Ansel) 23 Judith Durham - The Olive Tree (Jade) 23 Emma Pollock - Adrenaline 22 Daryl Hall - Dreamtime (King Rollo) 21 K-Otic - I Surrender 19 Michelle McManus - Emotional 18 Mariya Takeuchi - Plastic Love (Izzy) 18 PIPO ANGELS - Merry Go Round 17 Little by Little - Kanashimi wo Yasashisa ni 13 Goldfinger - Superman (WhoOdyssey) 11 Damaris - Tusuykusun 08 Girlicious - Like Me 08 Sister Sway - Until You Saved My Life (gooddelta) 07 Clout - Save Me (k��th) Coming from nowhere, Plumb is now the narrow leader of a close bunch, Rich mainly boosts some of the lower down songs that could use a boost. Into 2000 next, the year of a release of a popular gaming console x
September 3, 20222 yr Oops at the Whoddy no show. Goldfinger reminded me a bit of Green Day, a solid opener song.
September 3, 20222 yr Author Vitamin C - The Itch - lewistgreen Lewis sent this small hit from the turn of the century which really puts me in the mind of Holly Valance's cover of Kiss Kiss, though it predates that. The healthily named artist is best known for being a child star in the 1988 film, Hairspray and is currently the music executive at Netflix. 12 points: Tilly And The Wall - Beat Control 10 points: Aqua - Back To The 80s 8 points: The Asteroids Galaxy Tour - Around The Bend 7 points: Vanessa Paradis - Be My Baby 6 points: Ace Of Base - Happy Nation 5 points: Sister Sway - Until You Saved My Life 4 points: Girlicious - Like Me 3 points: Michelle McManus - Emotional 2 points: Exposé - Point Of No Return 1 point: Laura Branigan - Shattered Glass 55 Aqua - Back to the 80s 52 Tilly And The Wall - Beat Control 46 Plumb - Real 45 Jane Child - Don't Wanna Fall in Love (Riser) 44 Vanessa Paradis - Be My Baby (Tafty) 43 Lenka - Trouble is a Friend 38 Exposé - Point of No Return (J00prstar) 37 Ace Of Base - Happy Nation (Addy!) 34 The Asteroids Galaxy Tour - Around the Bend 33 Robyn feat. O.C. & Rahzel - Show Me Love (QD3 Fat Boy Remix) (Vibe) 30 Laura Branigan - Shattered Glass (Qween) 29 Killer - Liar 24 Perfume - Electro World 24 Four Below Zero - My Baby's Got ESP (Original 12" Mix) (Ansel) 23 Judith Durham - The Olive Tree (Jade) 23 Emma Pollock - Adrenaline 22 Daryl Hall - Dreamtime (King Rollo) 22 Michelle McManus - Emotional 21 K-Otic - I Surrender 18 Mariya Takeuchi - Plastic Love (Izzy) 18 PIPO ANGELS - Merry Go Round 17 Little by Little - Kanashimi wo Yasashisa ni 13 Goldfinger - Superman (WhoOdyssey) 13 Sister Sway - Until You Saved My Life (gooddelta) 12 Girlicious - Like Me 11 Damaris - Tusuykusun 07 Clout - Save Me (k��th) Oh the awkwardness as Vitamin C is still yet to pick up points, Hopefully not too long now x He does ensure a change of leader though as Aqua takes over for the first time tonight and Tilly and the Wall close behind, the former certainly would be a fitting winner for this contest! Gonna take a short break to eat something, resuming soon x
September 3, 20222 yr Same here very Green Day esque. I didn't have that down as Rich but 'Saved My Life' also makes some sense being a Eurovision reject.
September 3, 20222 yr The Killer and Plumb songs were great discoveries for me <3 Wanted to boost them up a little above the (albeit excellent) Scandipop heavyweights that I already knew. Oops at Sister Flop, it’s very highly regarded among UK Eurovision fans as ‘the one that got away’ but based on this tumbleweed reaction it might not have done much for us at Eurovision at all :lol: Interestingly it was issued as a single on dance label All Around The World, but didn’t chart. The production reminds me of the early Atomic Kitten singles, I love it!
September 3, 20222 yr I found it difficult to predict a lot of these but I did think that the 1999 Eurovision reject had to be Rich :lol: Also: This points drought!! [2]
September 3, 20222 yr Author Starting back in 2002, with the first winner of what would grow to be America's biggest singing competition at the time x K-Otic - I Surrender - Aaron. Aaron sent this early 2000s hit from the short-lived Dutch pop group formed on the television programme Starmaker, not to be mistaken for the K-Pop band of the same name. The pan pipes on this are wonderful, they really put me in the mind of Emmelie Du Forest <3 12; Aqua - Back To The 80’s 10; Ace Of Base - Happy Nation 08; Vitamin C - The Itch 07; Exposé - Point of No Return 06; Clout - Save Me 05; Girlicious - Like Me 04; Four Below Zero - My Baby's Got ESP 03; Plumb - Real 02; Michelle McManus - Emotional 01; Damaris - Tusuykusun 67 Aqua - Back to the 80s 52 Tilly And The Wall - Beat Control 49 Plumb - Real 47 Ace Of Base - Happy Nation (Addy!) 45 Jane Child - Don't Wanna Fall in Love (Riser) 45 Exposé - Point of No Return (J00prstar) 44 Vanessa Paradis - Be My Baby (Tafty) 43 Lenka - Trouble is a Friend 34 The Asteroids Galaxy Tour - Around the Bend 33 Robyn feat. O.C. & Rahzel - Show Me Love (QD3 Fat Boy Remix) (Vibe) 30 Laura Branigan - Shattered Glass (Qween) 29 Killer - Liar 28 Four Below Zero - My Baby's Got ESP (Original 12" Mix) (Ansel) 24 Perfume - Electro World 24 Michelle McManus - Emotional 23 Judith Durham - The Olive Tree (Jade) 23 Emma Pollock - Adrenaline 22 Daryl Hall - Dreamtime (King Rollo) 21 K-Otic - I Surrender (Aaron) 18 Mariya Takeuchi - Plastic Love (Izzy) 18 PIPO ANGELS - Merry Go Round 17 Little by Little - Kanashimi wo Yasashisa ni 17 Girlicious - Like Me 13 Goldfinger - Superman (WhoOdyssey) 13 Sister Sway - Until You Saved My Life (gooddelta) 13 Clout - Save Me (k��th) 12 Damaris - Tusuykusun 08 Vitamin C - The Itch (lewistgreen) Vitamic C has points, rejoice! We see the first quite comfortable lead of the night as Aqua are fifteen points clear of their nearest challenger, less than half the votes to go so it gets serious now. Staying in 2002, our next points are with Sam Raimi's web slinging classic.
September 3, 20222 yr Author Bec Cartwright - Drive By - Yobnedor Best known for Home and Away, Bec Cartwright released an album off the back of this to which this is a track from. Sadly, didn't quite work out for her in the style of other Aussie Soap turned music stars x 12 points - Vanessa Paradis - Be My Baby 10 - Lenka - Trouble is a friend 8 - Aqua - Back to the 80’s 7 - Ace of Base - Happy Nation 6 - Vitamin C - The Itch 5 - Sister Sway - Until You Saved My Life 4 - Killer - Liar 3 - Girlicious - Like Me 2 - The asteroids galaxy tour - around the bend 1 point - Michelle McManus - Emotional 75 Aqua - Back to the 80s 56 Vanessa Paradis - Be My Baby (Tafty) 53 Lenka - Trouble is a Friend 54 Ace Of Base - Happy Nation (Addy!) 52 Tilly And The Wall - Beat Control 49 Plumb - Real 45 Jane Child - Don't Wanna Fall in Love (Riser) 45 Exposé - Point of No Return (J00prstar) 36 The Asteroids Galaxy Tour - Around the Bend 33 Robyn feat. O.C. & Rahzel - Show Me Love (QD3 Fat Boy Remix) (Vibe) 33 Killer - Liar 30 Laura Branigan - Shattered Glass (Qween) 28 Four Below Zero - My Baby's Got ESP (Original 12" Mix) (Ansel) 25 Michelle McManus - Emotional 24 Perfume - Electro World 23 Judith Durham - The Olive Tree (Jade) 23 Emma Pollock - Adrenaline 22 Daryl Hall - Dreamtime (King Rollo) 21 K-Otic - I Surrender (Aaron) 20 Girlicious - Like Me 18 Mariya Takeuchi - Plastic Love (Izzy) 18 PIPO ANGELS - Merry Go Round 18 Sister Sway - Until You Saved My Life (gooddelta) 17 Little by Little - Kanashimi wo Yasashisa ni 14 Vitamin C - The Itch (lewistgreen) 13 Goldfinger - Superman (WhoOdyssey) 13 Clout - Save Me (k��th) 12 Damaris - Tusuykusun Poor Yobnedor, this was a little harsh, the track really wasn't that bad x However his votes keep the leader with now an eighteen point lead, we are really digging those 80s vibes huh To 2003 now, with a certain absent minded fish from a successful animated film from that year x
September 3, 20222 yr Thanks for all the votes so far :wub: I was shocked to find out Happy Nation never took off in UK despite label releasing the single twice (?)!!!
September 3, 20222 yr I didn't immediately pick up on the fact that Bec was the same girl from Home and Away but of course x not a bad song at all. Edited September 3, 20222 yr by Roba!
