and that your option if you're willing to taint your own creation with dodgy AI graphics xx I will spare you my ire as long as I can trust your writeups have actually been your own effort as I have enjoyed reading them x

Thank you so much Calum for running this, it's been so fun to be part of! A great way to bring everyone together and I loved all the creativity and twists along the way. Already scheming about who I'd choose next time 🤭 Congrats Scene on the win!!

@Calum Thank you so much, I loved following along with this great game!

If I’m lucky enough to be involved in season 2 I already know which artist I’ll be sending.

Saturday at 22:253 days

I am considering looking for multiple options of acts (main and backup) to send depending on the theme if it's open again or maybe a specific decade only, etc..

Well I have to say even though I was rooting for a PSB win, I'm equally happy for Avril to have done it, a very worthy winner indeed, she has some absolute gems in her discography, as highlighted by this contest heart Xtina's 3rd place finish was definitely the correct result!

Congrats to @Scene and a massive thank you to @Calum for running this, I'm echoing all the comments already posted, I've enjoyed every second of it. Definitely the most creatively presented contest on Buzzjack I've ever seen! I'm sure it must have been a lot of work and taken up a lot of your time but honestly you could not have done a better job. I'm already hyped for the next season, whenever that may be!

Just a couple of suggestions for next time, if I may - whether they will work or not I will leave up to you!

I think at the start of the contest, either everyone's entries should remain anonymous or everyone's entries should be revealed - I was having trouble keeping up with who sent what and whose entries were still anonymous!
I'd love for there to be a couple of themed rounds - I know this can't happen for every round as not everyone's discographies are equally sized, but maybe a coupe of simple themes like "ballads" or "bangers" or "biggest hits". I'd relish the additional challenge of having to pick to a set theme!
But yeah I honestly can't wait for the next one

🤩

I have two options for Season 2, possibly for the last place again.

Well done to Avril, would have been my winner if I’d remembered to vote in the most important round 😂🙈

@King Rollo PSB was such a great choice and you did a fantastic job. I’d heard of them before this but had never really heard a full song from them I think.

Some great discoveries for me. This was the biggest surprise.

Amazing result wub Great to see my favourite artist get a little love with some great scores along the way!

Great work @Scene , sorry for ever doubting you! Your choices have been fun and varied showing great classics of Avril. For an album track to actually win it's own individual vote I actually think is a little bit of a testament to your choices and gathering support along the way. Take me away is a fantastic track that is quite possibly my favourite non single from her.

Thank you @Calum for allowing me to have a small part in this really fun event and for hosting it, first big event in most of my years here on BJ that i've been a part of!

@Calum Want to also thank you for hosting this, all the hard work and the contest was really fun! I had a blast like im sure everyone else did.

Thank you everyone for the kind messages! ❤️ I’ve thoroughly enjoyed repping Avril in this and rediscovering her music in the process (even though I mainly stuck to sending the singles hehe).

So many shocks in the last rounds of votes! I did not expect West End Girls to beat Beautiful and for Dirrty to beat It’s A Sin! Also over the moon Take Me Away won the final round in its own right but wow it was tight!
