Did anyone double confirm ma entry, The Oli oli Olivur??

 

No more double confirmations at the minute Michael!

FINALLY

at least I know who to blame now

con firm T

Another double confirmation.

Another double stuffed Oreo for me x

This thread having 4 pages already got me worried I'd somehow ignored it for a week :lol: anyway not going for either of the songs I mentioned in the green room, instead I'm banking hard on the rap bubble that's sprung up in the last couple of contests. kinda male Azealia Banks vibes

The latest clash is actually just extending Rob & Cody's clash to a triple confirmation. At this rate neither of y'all are gonna get it again x

Another double stuffed Oreo for me x

 

what a greedy cheeky lady tsk tsk cheeky chops x

I've been wavering on this as a potential since it's release. I've gone against my original plan and attempted this one. It popped up on shuffle today and I've had it in my head non-stop again. So I need to at least try and send it.

 

I have my original choice as a back up just in case though.

We have some early vetoes incoming, my you've been an uninspired lot! ;)

Ah well, I took a punt and it didn't pay off, it was not in the least bit surprising to see this get vetoed, now lets see if my reconfirmation gets the same treatment (after a conversation I had with Bré on SyncTube last month). :P

Knew it. 57k views on YT after 2 months and I assumed it was safe. Ah well. Guess we can’t all get an Addison moment. :kink:

 

But fair. Figured I would try.

'Papillon' is a great and recognisable one.

I like how Dagny getting vetoed has basically been an annual tradition since 'Wearing Nothing' :kink:

 

'Papillon' is a great song and all but I think 2009 is a little too recent for a 'retro' top 40 entry (and I don't think this is exactly a super forgotten hit either - there might be a few minor hits from that era that you could get away with, Richard Hawley's 'Tonight The Streets Are Ours' was one that we allowed not too long ago for example, but this isn't one of them).

 

@ the person who sent Paul Russell, it's not the first time you've tried confirming a song that's in the current UK chart, I would advise having a quick check of the charts before confirming if this is going to keep being a recurring issue...!

I can't believe y'all tried to sneak Contemporary Love in again :lol:

You can't put an Aesthetica wig on and be Aesthetica! :teresa:

Is there a table of most vetoes kept? :kink:

I’ll wait til this Friday to see if my song drops out the Top 100 and reconfirm it. It’s only 94 in the midweeks so here’s hoping nobody here deliberately streams the hell out of it.

 

It’ll only get ten veto points then x
