May 5May 5 honestly I've been loving Tennis this year, they were basically a one hit wonder on my charts literally 10y ago and then I never liked anything else they did, but they have dropped a raft of good tracks lately! At the Wedding is another
May 5May 5 Author Okay I had to attempt some tension, alas...NON-VOTERS:vibe was behind...Billie Piper - 'I Dream'RobBot was behind...Carly Rae Jepsen - 'Now I Don't Hate California After All'WhoOdyssey was behind...Turnover - 'Humming'I didn't receive any votes from RobBot, vibe or WhoOdyssey so each of these entries will receive a 33% deduction. Final scoreboard coming up next!
May 5May 5 omg congrats rich for winning!! really glad to finish in 3rd which means i got all the medal positions in pfsc very delighted to receive many medals for this song though a lot of y'all tastelessly blanked thanks jade for the wonderful hosting!!
May 5May 5 And yes all of those entries were sent by who I guessed as well - the last 5 voters (or non-voters) having fairly distinct tastes from each other xDidn't vote for any of those but the Turnover song was pretty good and another one that grew on me on second listen.Congrats Rich on a first win here!

I hope you enjoyed. I always get a bit nervous before hosting a song contest but had fun when I got into the swing of things.
May 5May 5 BJSC and now this contest, maybe I’m getting good at giving max points to the winner!Congrats Gooddelta, great choice :) Edited May 5May 5 by Herbs
May 5May 5 Yay congrats @gooddelta and thank you everyone who voted for AURORA <3 Last but not least, thank you Jade for doing an amazing job with hosting <3
May 5May 5 Oh wow. A birthday win, I didn’t expect that and all the top marks - so cool! Thanks Jim for the final 12 there too!Loved Jim’s entry so was a great runner up. Glad to see Polly make the top ten there too.Thanks for hosting a great theme Jade, I made quite a lot of lovely discoveries here. I’ve not typically done too well in this contest but this did strike me as a suitable choice for the theme! Glad it worked out. <3
May 5May 5 Well didn't quite vote for the winner in the end (was a commiseration at least) but 3 of my top 4 finishing in the top 5 so that's great to see, and a further 3 that I voted for in the lower half of the top 10!Yumi Zouma came 22nd out of 42 in BJSC so 14th out of 25 is more or less exactly the same result adjusting for the size of the field (i.e. being just below the exact midtable mark both times), the consistency! Disappointing to see GIFT and L'Impératrice down in the bottom 5 with me, genuinely might have predicted the latter to be a win contender so really not sure what happened there I suppose thanks to Cow for blocking me from the wooden spoon but yeah no surprise at all at the bad result this time, I'd say it might have been better suited to a different contest but I think it's just a song that isn't connecting with people like I wanted it to unforch! I'll just take my bronze medal from Doctor B and run with it xThanks for the hosting Jade, was fun to read all the little blurbs with each vote Looking forward to a potential Rich hosting next time! (and happy birthday oh my)
May 5May 5 Nice win!Thank you for the points, especially the two guests (much appreciated)!I don't expect to be 15th or higher at UP. Edited May 5May 5 by AllStarBySmashMouth
May 5May 5 Congratulations Gooddelta, your song and the runner-up were both in my top three. Thanks Jade for the fabulous hosting job.I'm happy with 18th place for 'Budapest By Blimp', thanks to all who voted for it.
May 5May 5 I didn't see that winner coming actually, but it's a good one, The Streets going dreampop isn't something I thought would work but turns out it does x Congrats to Rich (and happy birthday!). I can't begrudge any of that top 10, I either voted or nearly voted for all of them <3Albeit a shame I couldn't quite hold onto top 10 (if only I'd actually self-recycled Night Tapes x), but I'll take being just about top half in 12th, thanks for all who voted.This was a lovely theme choice and had a good, eclectic set of songs for the most part, thanks Jade for hosting it so efficiently!
May 5May 5 1 minute ago, gooddelta said:Sure I can host next time, will have a think about a theme.Delta Goodrem theme!
May 5May 5 Congratulations Rich that's some birthday present! It was a close run thing between 'Swimming Lessons' and 'Nitrogen Pink' for my top score, but the production of the former grew on me on later listens - happy to see the latter top 10 via a tiebreak! I voted for everything just behind me in 3rd-7th too, so I'm happy with the prevailing preferences here!After 4 PFSC contests (including 2 specials) without breaking the top 15, this is one way to do it! I discovered Yndling from 'Monopoly' on Dr B's chart last year, but 'As Fast As I Can' popped up on my Release Radar a few weeks ago, and went straight onto my potentials list after one listen - then when this theme was announced, it fit perfectly. I still didn't expect much, although the listenthrough made me think I might be onto something - turns out I was! I've now finished runner-up in 3 contests (also BJSC and TBSCITW...E!) without a win - was leading during the results of all of those 2nd placers although it wasn't particularly close in the end - but delighted to have another podium spot. Thank you Chez, Bré, Rollo and Cow for the top scores also Addy for the silver, Rich, Dobbo and Dr B for the 7s, and host Jade, blacksquare and Scene for the other points!Last but not least, thank you Jade for hosting and coming up with this theme!
