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

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

Oops at the Whoddy no show. Goldfinger reminded me a bit of Green Day, a solid opener song.

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.

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

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.

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!

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]

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

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.

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

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

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 (?)!!!

 

 

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.
