Miriana is lucky I didn't push hard for a veto tbh xx

I’d have rioted if she was vetoed and cool me down wasn’t

Tafty is unimpressed with the results, can you flip the scoreboard please, sender of Kenzie Cait?

I do have to wonder who people thought sent Kep1er bc I would have never called Jade if it wasn’t myself

I'd never have predicted awardinary to send that entry!

To everyone who hasn’t voted for Kenzie…

Thank you Wouter for taking me off zero, Jade for some points too, and Jonjo for a gold! Yeah I didn't have high expectations for this contest, but I'm glad to see the points drought end in some style there.

They thought it was me or you in the listenthrough, if memory serves!

Elefanter just won Schlagerfest for someone or other, so will we have another Saturday night elephant themed winner in Pink Elephants by Claire George from Doctor Blind?

Hey Rich,

“Be Sweet” made my Top 40 of 2021 and it still sounds great, so despite familiarity I couldn't deny giving it gold. Look forward to finding out who sent what!

meanwhile Claire George is the one I was predicting to be Jade but Doctor Blind makes sense too x

Unusually for me, the non-early voters are coming through - thanks for a silver Dr B!

02 P.Y.T. - We're Dancing (Riser)

That trio had a transformative effect on the scoreboard with Japanese Breakfast suddenly breaking away from the pack after scoring 19 points there. An even more impressive haul of 23 for Valencia Grace sees her hurtling up to second place ahead of Heidi Montag, Margaret and Minami but it all remains fairly bunched up. LALA HAYDEN has finally got going after a slow start, now safely midtable after a great round. Down the bottom are still P.Y.T. in last and Milica Pavlovic and Angelica still in single figures.

Pink Elephants was one I thought didn't have the biggest chorus, but was a really good, atsmospheric discovery nonetheless <3

That current top 2 is great woop x

Walk Off The Earth were a big deal on YouTube about a decade ago and Roba reminds us of them with Rule The World.

I guess 'Pink Elephants' as a whole was a relatively lowkey song but I still think it had a strong chorus. (the main songs I could see as maybe skirting the theme a bit were The Jezabels and maybe Uhl)

A guest vote has arrived, from HarryGarfield. There's no entry to share so i'm sure Harry will be delighted for me to share the song that a quick Google search informs me could be the best pop chorus of all-time.
