The first of our three trips to 2008 concerns the world's largest and highest-energy particle collider.
September 3, 20222 yr Really loved that Damaris song, shame it hasn't done the business here. Might have been better as a BJSC entry x edit: Emma Pollock also deserves better! Lenka is a much better leader than Aqua x
September 3, 20222 yr Agreed Lenka is a much better than Aqua!! I'd love to see her take the crown :D Edited September 3, 20222 yr by uhsting
September 3, 20222 yr Agreed Lenka is a much better than Aqua!! I'd love to see her take the crown :D uhsting confirmed.
September 3, 20222 yr Author The Asteroids Galaxy Tour - Around the Bend - Chez Wombat I must be honest, I really struggled to find an entry here, you were all so inspired that my two main choices - Yael Naim's New Soul and Peter, Paul & Mary's Puff the Magic Dragon just felt like they'd stick out too much, I had a lot of contemplation and in the end went with this old Apple advert song from 2008 as I figured enough people wouldn't know it, it's not as good as Heart Attack (my first BJSC 12 pointer <3) but those horns are still so fun x 12; Damaris – Tusuykusun 10; Exposé - Point of No Return 08; Killer - Liar 07; Ace Of Base - Happy Nation 06; Daryl Hall - Dreamtime 05; Tilly And The Wall - Beat Control 04; Perfume - Electro World 03; Clout - Save Me 02; Jane Child - Don't Wanna Fall in Love 01; K-Otic - I Surrender 95 Lenka - Trouble is a Friend 94 Ace Of Base - Happy Nation (Addy!) 92 Aqua - Back to the 80s 85 Tilly And The Wall - Beat Control 82 Vanessa Paradis - Be My Baby (Tafty) 79 Jane Child - Don't Wanna Fall in Love (Riser) 73 Exposé - Point of No Return (J00prstar) 63 K-Otic - I Surrender (Aaron) 62 Laura Branigan - Shattered Glass (Qween) 55 The Asteroids Galaxy Tour - Around the Bend (Chez Wombat) 52 Plumb - Real (Dobbo) 51 Daryl Hall - Dreamtime (King Rollo) 51 Killer - Liar (Mango) 38 Four Below Zero - My Baby's Got ESP (Original 12" Mix) (Ansel) 36 Sister Sway - Until You Saved My Life (gooddelta) 35 PIPO ANGELS - Merry Go Round (Roba) 33 Robyn feat. O.C. & Rahzel - Show Me Love (QD3 Fat Boy Remix) (Vibe) 33 Mariya Takeuchi - Plastic Love (Izzy) 33 Clout - Save Me (k��th) 32 Damaris - Tusuykusun (Juan Carlos) 32 Girlicious - Like Me 30 Goldfinger - Superman (WhoOdyssey) 28 Perfume - Electro World (Cody Hale) 26 Judith Durham - The Olive Tree (Jade) 25 Michelle McManus - Emotional (Cameron) 23 Emma Pollock - Adrenaline (RabbitFurCoat) 21 Vitamin C - The Itch (lewistgreen) 17 Little by Little - Kanashimi wo Yasashisa ni (NarCow) 16 Bec Cartwright - Drive By (Yobnedor) So my votes do make it a very tight squeeze up there as Happy Nation is resurfacing after hanging around just below contention for a while now. How will our next set of votes from the 44th President of the United States shake things up?
September 3, 20222 yr Robyn underperforming somewhat but then I didn't vote for it so others clearly not taking to that remix either. Pulling for Ace of Base or Aqua out of the current top 3. Edited September 4, 20222 yr by Roba!
September 3, 20222 yr Author Tilly and the Wall - Beat Control - BumbleBré This group had another fascinating fun fact as they have a tap dancer to provide percussion rather than a drummer, they are now disbanded but this psychedelic-late 00s indie pop is very cool and has been going down quite a storm for Bre (sorry for the late reveal x) :hi: Obama here with my votes for this contest B-) 12 Damaris - Tusuykusun 10 Exposé - Point Of No Return 8 Ace Of Base - Happy Nation 7 Judith Durham - The Olive Tree 6 Clout - Save Me 5 Little By Little - Kanashimi Wo Yasashisani Ni 4 Daryl Hall - Dreamtime 3 Jane Child - Don't Wanna Fall In Love 2 Lenka - Trouble Is A Friend 1 Emma Pollock - Adrenaline Next up were Goldfinger, Michelle McManus, Laura Branigan and Mariya Takeuchi - I considered bumping Michelle up to 1 point for iconatry if I didn't have a strong enough top 10 but I think I enjoyed 'Adrenaline' a little too much to demote it :kink: 102 Ace Of Base - Happy Nation (Addy!) 97 Lenka - Trouble is a Friend 92 Aqua - Back to the 80s 85 Tilly And The Wall - Beat Control (Bumblebré) 82 Vanessa Paradis - Be My Baby (Tafty) 82 Jane Child - Don't Wanna Fall in Love (Riser) 83 Exposé - Point of No Return (J00prstar) 63 K-Otic - I Surrender (Aaron) 62 Laura Branigan - Shattered Glass (Qween) 55 The Asteroids Galaxy Tour - Around the Bend (Chez Wombat) 55 Daryl Hall - Dreamtime (King Rollo) 52 Plumb - Real (Dobbo) 51 Killer - Liar (Mango) 44 Damaris - Tusuykusun (Juan Carlos) 39 Clout - Save Me (k��th) 38 Four Below Zero - My Baby's Got ESP (Original 12" Mix) (Ansel) 36 Sister Sway - Until You Saved My Life (gooddelta) 35 PIPO ANGELS - Merry Go Round (Roba) 33 Robyn feat. O.C. & Rahzel - Show Me Love (QD3 Fat Boy Remix) (Vibe) 33 Mariya Takeuchi - Plastic Love (Izzy) 33 Judith Durham - The Olive Tree (Jade) 32 Girlicious - Like Me 30 Goldfinger - Superman (WhoOdyssey) 28 Perfume - Electro World (Cody Hale) 25 Michelle McManus - Emotional (Cameron) 24 Emma Pollock - Adrenaline (RabbitFurCoat) 22 Little by Little - Kanashimi wo Yasashisa ni (NarCow) 21 Vitamin C - The Itch (lewistgreen) 16 Bec Cartwright - Drive By (Yobnedor) We didn't liaise with having the same top 2, we're just that on point x Bre's votes ensure that Ace of Base retake the lead for the first time since the first set of votes and pass 100, it's a good time to take over but there's still three votes to go and it's still so close, let's see what everyone's least favourite vampire story has to say about this x
September 3, 20222 yr Me doing quite well :cheeseblock: thanks to the voters so far, particularly Lewis and RFC for the 12s x I discovered 'Beat Control' from nighttime Radio 1 back when it first came out and it's been an intermittent earworm for me for a solid 14 years since then so finally a good opportunity to send it here. It is a little cheap by my song contest standards as it was *gasp* a UK top 100 hit but it deserved a lot better. (also... a 10 swap with J00p :o)
September 3, 20222 yr Author Girlicious - Like Me - Travis No votes from Travis sadly with this Tesco Value Pussycat Dolls, but unexpectedly we have an imposter set of votes to make up for them :o NocheLuna Sorry for not confirming an entry in time! Have had a little too much going on lately. Anyway, here are my votes: 01p: Aqua - Back To The 80’s 02p: K-Otic - I Surrender 03p: Little by Little - Kanashimi wo Yasashisa ni 04p: Perfume - Electro World 05p: Laura Branigan - Shattered Glass 06p: Vanessa Paradis - Be My Baby 07p: Lenka - Trouble is a Friend 08p: Mariya Takeuchi - Plastic Love 10p: Exposé - Point of No Return 12p: Damaris - Tusuykusun I was not expecting to see my birth country being represented in this contest This to do well please! 104 Lenka - Trouble is a Friend 102 Ace Of Base - Happy Nation (Addy!) 93 Aqua - Back to the 80s 93 Exposé - Point of No Return (J00prstar) 88 Vanessa Paradis - Be My Baby (Tafty) 85 Tilly And The Wall - Beat Control (Bumblebré) 82 Jane Child - Don't Wanna Fall in Love (Riser) 67 Laura Branigan - Shattered Glass (Qween) 65 K-Otic - I Surrender (Aaron) 56 Damaris - Tusuykusun (Juan Carlos) 55 The Asteroids Galaxy Tour - Around the Bend (Chez Wombat) 55 Daryl Hall - Dreamtime (King Rollo) 52 Plumb - Real (Dobbo) 51 Killer - Liar (Mango) 41 Mariya Takeuchi - Plastic Love (Izzy) 39 Clout - Save Me (k��th) 38 Four Below Zero - My Baby's Got ESP (Original 12" Mix) (Ansel) 36 Sister Sway - Until You Saved My Life (gooddelta) 35 PIPO ANGELS - Merry Go Round (Roba) 33 Robyn feat. O.C. & Rahzel - Show Me Love (QD3 Fat Boy Remix) (Vibe) 33 Judith Durham - The Olive Tree (Jade) 32 Girlicious - Like Me (Travis) 32 Perfume - Electro World (Cody Hale) 30 Goldfinger - Superman (WhoOdyssey) 25 Michelle McManus - Emotional (Cameron) 25 Little by Little - Kanashimi wo Yasashisa ni (NarCow) 24 Emma Pollock - Adrenaline (RabbitFurCoat) 21 Vitamin C - The Itch (lewistgreen) 16 Bec Cartwright - Drive By (Yobnedor) Damaris just casually getting 36 points and Expose 30 in one fell swoop :cheeseblock: Lenka narrowly take over but we now reach the awkward moment where they and the sender of Aqua have to give their votes so yeah, you see why I went with this order :kink: In 2009, we first go to what was until recently the best selling film of all time receiving a sequel this year...
September 3, 20222 yr Omg Noche coming to deliver some more taste *.* yay for Damaris rising quite a bit now!
September 3, 20222 yr Not a silver from Bré! Funnily enough I used to be a proper Tilly and the Wall fan :lol: in the early days of the internet
September 3, 20222 yr Hooray, thanks Bray *.* looks like I just about snuck your entry into my votes :cheer:
September 3, 20222 yr Not a silver from Bré! Funnily enough I used to be a proper Tilly and the Wall fan :lol: in the early days of the internet I think this is actually the only song I know by them oops. Interesting to know that their earlier stuff was apparently quite different x
September 3, 20222 yr Author Lenka - Trouble is a Friend - uhsting So naturally uhsting sent one of the most recent songs :kink: He may not be into retro, but he's done very well here. Best known for the Show, this song followed it's predecessor in being used prominently in media, this time the show 902010. A very nicely animated video, only just missed my votes </3 Hi Chez! Here are my votes for PFSC XI: 12 points: Damaris - Tusuykusun 10 points: Judith Durham - The Olive Tree 8 points: Clout - Save Me 7 points: Sister Sway - Until You Saved My Life 6 points: Aqua - Back To The 80’s 5 points: PIPO ANGELS - Merry Go Round 4 points: Exposé - Point of No Return 3 points: Laura Branigan - Shattered Glass 2 points: The Asteroids Galaxy Tour - Around the Bend 1 point: Plumb - Real Commiserations: Daryl Hall - Dreamtime K-Otic - I Surrender Lenka is pretty much my childhood memory and I love a lot of her songs, particularly "Heart Skips A Beat"! This theme is a struggle for me as I know virtually know no relatively unknown retro songs back then so I went with her earlier hits. uhsting x 104 Lenka - Trouble is a Friend (uhsting) 102 Ace Of Base - Happy Nation (Addy!) 99 Aqua - Back to the 80s 97 Exposé - Point of No Return (J00prstar) 88 Vanessa Paradis - Be My Baby (Tafty) 85 Tilly And The Wall - Beat Control (Bumblebré) 82 Jane Child - Don't Wanna Fall in Love (Riser) 70 Laura Branigan - Shattered Glass (Qween) 68 Damaris - Tusuykusun (Juan Carlos) 65 K-Otic - I Surrender (Aaron) 57 The Asteroids Galaxy Tour - Around the Bend (Chez Wombat) 55 Daryl Hall - Dreamtime (King Rollo) 53 Plumb - Real (Dobbo) 51 Killer - Liar (Mango) 47 Clout - Save Me (k��th) 43 Judith Durham - The Olive Tree (Jade) 43 Sister Sway - Until You Saved My Life (gooddelta) 41 Mariya Takeuchi - Plastic Love (Izzy) 40 PIPO ANGELS - Merry Go Round (Roba) 38 Four Below Zero - My Baby's Got ESP (Original 12" Mix) (Ansel) 33 Robyn feat. O.C. & Rahzel - Show Me Love (QD3 Fat Boy Remix) (Vibe) 32 Girlicious - Like Me (Travis) 32 Perfume - Electro World (Cody Hale) 30 Goldfinger - Superman (WhoOdyssey) 25 Michelle McManus - Emotional (Cameron) 25 Little by Little - Kanashimi wo Yasashisa ni (NarCow) 24 Emma Pollock - Adrenaline (RabbitFurCoat) 21 Vitamin C - The Itch (lewistgreen) 16 Bec Cartwright - Drive By (Yobnedor) As foot-shooting goes, that's not too bad. Uhsting remains in the lead and Aqua alas can no longer win due to obvious reasons but the two around them are still lurking and could easily jump up, it all comes down to this last *mic grabbed from me* Sorry Chez, Imma let you finish but Beyonce had one of the best music videos of all taaamm (Another 12 for Damaris :cheeseblock:)
