July 16, 20231 yr I hward there are no vetoes this month tbh We already vetoed something at the start of the week!
July 16, 20231 yr Unfortunately due to some sudden last minute circumstances the rest of the vetoes have been delayed a bit oops, I am finishing off the last of the research now so they should be coming through today but semis may have to be delayed to tomorrow unless people reconfirm quickly. (sorry RFC :kink:)
July 16, 20231 yr Author Another veto… Jenny Silver - Something In Your Eyes 10 - charted at #59 in Sweden in 2011 - a cover by Steps was a single in 2020 (this version peaked at #8 on the Multichart) 10 - this version appeared in 5 personal charts in 2011-2012, 3 of which are current BJSC participants (Aaron, gooddelta, Iz) - 2011 Melodifestivalen entry (was eliminated in Andra Chansen) - *vetoed by mod discretion* - deemed to be too similar to the Steps version which was popular on the site recently (also is notable in its own right for being a Melodifestivalen entry)

(sorry RFC :kink:) Oh tomorrow is fine, that easily counts in being on it! :lol: I'll be away and unlikely to listen Thurs-Mon so just didn't want it to take a few days
July 16, 20231 yr Absolute solid gold banger but thanks to steps note for note identical cover, it’s so well known
July 16, 20231 yr One more veto sent out now - hopefully that should be the last one so just waiting for reconfirmations now.
July 16, 20231 yr Also occurred to me that I've only posted in this thread with updates on behind the scenes stuff ~ So a belated yay for St. Burbia hosting again (and for the first time as the incumbent winner!) Indiesephonia is back again this month with a short but sweet bit of noisy shoegaze - only 2 and a half minutes long, my second shortest entry ever, so I have to hope it packs enough of a punch in that runtime to catch people's attention, might need a bit of luck of the draw on my side x Also think this artist should be new to everyone unless anyone else happens to be subscribed to the YouTube channel I discovered them through!
July 16, 20231 yr Author Here's the latest veto: Alison Goldfrapp - In Electric Blue 24 - artist came 9th in BJSC 153 3+7; also came 27th in BJSC 24 & DNQed in BJSC 148 as a member of Goldfrapp - artist's most recent album charted at #6 in the UK this year 7; also had substantial previous chart success as a member of Goldfrapp - appeared in 2 personal charts, 1 of which is a BJSC participant (Popchartfreak) - was B-Listed by Radio 2, classifying as moderate radio exposure 7 - low to mid level blog coverage
July 16, 20231 yr So no FARC this time then? I guess the same goes for Fljótavík, N-Lazone, Pagasa, Suedeonia, & Taahino (though one or more of those may be banned, and we sadly know what Lindsey decided to do with BuzzJack. :( )
July 16, 20231 yr Fljótavík and Pagasa are also banned this month, yes x Suede is missing this month due to being on holiday. Not sure what's happened to FARC (or N-Lazone).
July 16, 20231 yr Just 1 reconfirmation still pending (from Wholune whose entry was a double confirmation) - I messaged Whoddy the other day and haven't received a response so this is a last call for you to reconfirm tonight or during the day tomorrow otherwise we just go forward without you x Looks like Quintessa will be auto-qualifying if Wholune reconfirm ~
July 17, 20231 yr Would have been ok but that attempted entry was an auto-veto whoops (LOWES - Bloodstream again, auto-vetoed last month due to the artist being sent 4 times in the last 30 contests, it's still going to be a while before LOWES will be eligible to be sent again). If you can reconfirm super ASAP we may still squeeze you in but as it stands looks like we're going ahead with 63 entries, as Wholune remain AWOL. So most likely no Quintessa AQ, bad luck Leo.

I must have missed both messages somehow, I definitely don’t recall either popping up! I’ll try and find something in the next hour…
July 17, 20231 yr That'll do! Quintessa AQ is back on the menu :magic: (unless Bhangra also reconfirm something very soon x)
