April 1st – A song you like with a day in the title [Challenged by awardinary]

 

Starting my own challenge off with the disco classic that many were first introduced to from Room 5’s remix in 2003;

 

Oliver Cheatham – Get Down Saturday Night

 

30 Day Song Challenge 2024

April 1st – A song you like with a day in the title [Challenged by awardinary] : Oliver Cheatham – Get Down Saturday Night

Here's a totally cheesy banger recommended by one of my teachers 10 years ago:

 

 

and RIP to Daniel Boone who died a year ago in January as I did not know his death at all. :heart:

Day 1 - I'll go with this great Blondie track! (also a plug to vote for your faves Blondie songs in 20th Century Retro ;) )

 

Monday Blues - Kylie

Natalia Kills - Saturday Night

 

Could've been a big breakthrough for Natalia - alas this was a year or two before her X Factor New Zealand fiasco.

Tempted to go for Lorqueen but that'd be a bit too obvious :kink:

 

Day 2 - going for this underrated gem :wub: :heart:

 

A very uninspired choice today :kink: This artist featured on the talent show 'Star Search' back in 1993 as part of what would become Destiny's Child!

 

 

A truly stunning song from Queen Bey

One of the few breakouts from The Voice US!

 

The first and probably one of the last times I watched The X Factor AU, this has become such a classic for me

 

Honorary mention to Joel Corry

This was rather good:

 

Honorary mention to Joel Corry

What talent show did he appear on?

For some reason I read reality instead of talent… and then still said a talent show singer? :lol: I think it’s time for bed..

Ah, I thought I might've missed something aside from Geordie Shore. :lol:

day 2 - carly rae jepsen "e·mo·tion"

 

 

i guess we found out who the real canadian idol was x

 

I always forget that about Carly Rae Jepsen! And, of course, what a song (and what an album).

 

Still hammering this from Swedish Idol 2021's Jacqline. Obviously, those who follow Melodifestivalen will know this, but if you DON'T, then you're missing out on a stellar, glittery pop moment.
