October 3, 20222 yr Two maximums in a row for Vicious Pink, surely must be miles in front by now? Jade really is the queen of spin off style contests!

October 3, 20222 yr I'm not sure I'd have called Vicious Pink as such a runaway winner but I'm here for it if it holds that, an inspired choice and a good song (and always happy to see Jade picking up wins in every contest going of course!) Can I still drop into last for the Brade bookends? :lol:
October 3, 20222 yr While Vicious Pink would be a great winner why are we treating the other French entry so badly? :'(
October 3, 20222 yr Author 19. Colm Secret Service are a Swedish group formed in 1979. Flash In The Night was a top 20 hit in several countries. The group finished in 1987 but were revived in 2006.

October 3, 20222 yr While Vicious Pink would be a great winner why are we treating the other French entry so badly? :'( I know - I thought they were both great but I actually gave Ansel’s more points than Jade’s!
October 3, 20222 yr While Vicious Pink would be a great winner why are we treating the other French entry so badly? :'( this tbh x (although very here for the French representation at the top!)
October 3, 20222 yr 'Nasz Disneyland' and 'Five Hundred Miles' should be higher than where they are :(
October 3, 20222 yr Author 20. Suedehead After trying to enter Soft Cell, who were already taken, Suedehead chose a song by their Some Bizarre label mates, Naked Lunch. The group were formed in 1979 by Tony Mayo but this line-up only lasted until 1981. Tony has continued to use the Naked Lunch name, helped by various other musicians over the years. 8G7kARPVgAE Thanks for organising this. Here are my votes. 12 Vicious Pink - Cccan't You See (French Extended Mix) 10 Psyche - Misery 8 Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Telegraph 7 Camouflage - The Great Commandment 6 Pet Shop Boys - Paninaro 5 Charlie - Spacer Woman 4 Depeche Mode - Strangelove 3 A Flock Of Seagulls - I Ran 2 Secret Service - Flash In The Night 1 Book Of Love - Boy
October 3, 20222 yr The lack of success for the Bladerunner theme is frankly shocking. It's one of the greatest pieces of music ever. I had to drop it from my top points because I already knew it.
October 3, 20222 yr Oh great choice Suede - that was right up my street! Well, this whole spin-off was to be fair :lol: and... thank you so much for 12 <3 <3

There's still a close battle for 2nd place with Depeche Mode currently occupying that position. 19 points from the last two voters move Camouflage up from 8th to 4th.
October 3, 20222 yr Wow, very deserved lead for Vicious Pink! Why did it flop so hard on release? Lack of promo/airplay? Glad you liked Papa Dance Colm, thank you for the points!
October 3, 20222 yr Author 21. Daan It was dance mod Daan who entered this disco sounding song from the Italian trio, Luciano Ninzatti, Stefano Pulga and Matteo Bonsanto, known collectively as Kano. Can't Hold Back (Your Lovin') is from their second album, 'New York Cake'. mSWW_Ca0sYg 12 John Foxx - Underpass 10 Mamman Sani - Five Hundred Miles 08 Alphaville - Forever Young 07 Vangelis - Blade Runner (End Titles) 06 C C Catch - 'Cause You're Young (Maxi Version) 05 Pet Shop Boys - Paninaro 04 Vicious Pink - Cccan't You See (French Extended Mix) 03 Alexander Robotnick featuring Martine Michellod - Problèmes d'Amour 02 Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Telegraph 01 Depeche Mode - Strangelove
