uhsting sending a song he already charted shocker etc. (I resisted the temptation to look it up this time but I did think 'Paranoje' sounded like an uhsting entry anyway x)

awwww I was hoping you will predict (G)I-DLE as I charted their song as well and pretended I don't know them :P

Thanks to Doctor B, Jade, Addy, Brer, Chez & Wardy for the points!!!! I would not be opposed for a win for The Desire!

omgggg am I gonna win PFSC for the second time??? :cheeseblock: :w00t: :w00t:

 

Thanks everyone for the amazing votes so far! Will do the rounds at the end of the results presentation!

It was close between 11th and 10th so I went with the one that fit the theme better :ph34r: (I see you were browsing r/listentothis at a similar time I was!)

 

Pff, I still think it fits the theme pretty well, read the lyrics without the music and tell me it's not super morbid xx

 

I think the post there was actually about a month old when I found it, I just searched for 'synthpop' as I hoped that might produce something sufficiently poppy and gloomy.

[25] 🧑‍🚀 Astronaut is... Roba!

Scoreboard incoming in 3... 2... 1...

Omg Meekul is absolutely popping off with the spooky entries between this and the current BJSC :cheeseblock: I'd love to know how you came across this song, reminded me a lot of Boy Harsher, what a tune x

 

And oh yeah Rollo sending Depeche Mode again makes sense I guess :lol: sending Depeche Mode to song contests on here is getting a bit played out but I can't complain too much when the songs still keep being pretty great every time, I'm slowly learning their back catalogue by force x Thanks for the points in return also!

LEWBERT

Thanks Joop for the last few points (and aw your entry deserved better than that).

 

Leww is not who I'd have guessed to be behind Baby Storme here either but great song. Although lemme not vote for it in BJSC now because Cor Lupus make it bad x

SCOREBOARD SPREADSHEET

Edited November 2, 20231 yr by Ansel

Elliot Lee a doomed artist then it would seem oops. Shame because I found it rather cute and on theme but maybe a bit childish too so perhaps why many pop people snubbed.

 

Oh wow at Leww possibly winning this *.*

 

Or not Congrats Jack WOWWWWWWWWW. Great track and thanks for hosting Ansel. Been a good contest!

Congrats uhsting :cheer:!!!! Thanks for hosting as well Ansel :)

 

This is an all-time high for me in PFSC so i'm very pleased to have come as high as 5th! Thanks to all who voted for me :heart:

Thanks everyone who voted for Gallipony (especially J00ps and Lewis for the 12s!). Overall serving taste with the results although DeathByRomy deserved higher x

and oh 20th whilst not brilliant is alright a result. Was kinda hoping for about 5 or so places higher but nevermind. At least it's not Bottom 5!

OMGGGGG my second win in PFSC!!! WOWWWWWWW!!!! :wub: :wub: :wub: Thank you for the huge support to my Polish dark pop entry! I was flipping through my potentials and this sounds very fitting to the theme. I kinda wanted to send this to the main contest so I'm happy it got the attention here! :cheer: Thank you for 12 points from Doctor Blind, 10 points from Bre and Nate, and 8 points from Chez, Dobbo and J00p!! Thanks for all the high pointers as well :wub:

 

Thank you Ansel for choosing this theme and hosting the competition! I love the font in the scoreboard :wub: Love the Halloween-themed disguise too :wub: It was a pleasure to be in this contest and great to have discovered some nice bops too! :wub:

Congrats uhsting, excellent winner there and my top 3 finished as the overall top 3 (albeit in a slightly different order) :cheeseblock: I voted for the entire top 8 as well, aside from myself ofc - 6th 7th place is a good enough position to validate my rare delusion of feeling like a contender, nicely makes up enough for my complete tank in BJSC this month (part of me kind of wishes I just sent this song to BJSC instead honestly as I feel like it's strong enough for that and I don't send songs this poppy there often enough but then I'd have had to spend more time to find another song to send here when I was already quite late :kink:)

 

There have been quite a few times in the spinoffs / genre forum contests recently where the top end of the results has tracked very closely with my own votes, but doesn't seem to pan out when including the other 30 odd people who only enter BJSC :thinking: (I guess that is also a wider field of songs tbf)

 

Yaeger being as 'low' as 11th is a little bit of a surprise as I still feel like that's a contender to win in BJSC, guess we'll see how that plays out soon ~

 

Thanks for hosting Ansel, enjoyed this theme as expected even with a good handful of people only very tenuously sticking to it.
