April 6Apr 6 Thanks Jade and Cow for a point each. In general I guess this contest was mostly the wrong audience for my entry - perhaps one or two more big fans later on, we'll see
April 6Apr 6 Already knew this version of 'The Riddle' well from plug.dj back in the day - works surprisingly well (even if still not quite as good as the original)!
April 6Apr 6 Chile anyways…………yeah I knew I was gonna flop badly after my first submission got vetoed
April 6Apr 6 Author AH Gold and gooddelta now with Groove Armada's Madonna track done for a BBC Live Lounge and West End Girls version of the Pet Shop Boys and Dusty classic (my favourite song by PSB incidentally).

Emma Conquest looks to have made a gap between 3rd and 4th and isn't quite out of the running despite dropping back.

April 6Apr 6 I'd heard the Groove Armada track from listening back to the very first BJSC which it was also sent to (a little before Tartford's time but not by much!), cool to hear it again here though.
April 6Apr 6 Thanks for the votes so far. I know the West End Girls cover doesn't reinvent the wheel but it adds a nice Scandipop sheen. I've always been fond of this version and nearly sent it to BJSC in the very early days.West End Girls were a PSB tribute act, as the name suggests, from Sweden. I liked the addition of Magnus Carlson (the lead singer of indie band Weeping Willows) on this as it was cool to hear the male/female parts sung in the opposite way.

April 6Apr 6 Author There are now only three voters left to be revealed and it remains very close at the top.
April 6Apr 6 Author A maximum possible score of 36 points is available and so it's still wide open at the top and bottom. But as there were an odd number of voters the next set will be revealed on their own
April 6Apr 6 Well it turns out I might be reaching the heights of Locust again after all (in fact I already have more points than that got in total). I'll post some more after the final results since we're so close to the end anyway but how exciting xx(fwiw if I was going to predict a winner I think I would have said either Sylver or Gigi D'Agostino! but yay for me not shooting my own foot with the former though it wasn't far off my points, coming in 12th)
April 6Apr 6 Off to bed here, but thanks for hosting Severin - and to the voters for my favourite group of all time, Dutch group the Dolly Dots. Much appreciated!
April 6Apr 6 Ooh Rachid Taha was my guess for Bré cool to see that leading and thank you very much for 12 points! Thanks for sneaking me in too, Addy.
April 6Apr 6 Thanks Bré for the points - your song was just outside my votes, it's close at the top so near the end!
