Tonight's the night!

After a fleeting, MUNA-esque, lore dropping few weeks we've collectively decided a winner of BJSC 179.

But who will take the crown?! Not long to find out now... results will begin in an hour, 19:00 GMT time.

Here is a reminder of the 41 songs battling it out for first place:

I’m not ready for this contest to be over! What last minute drama and debate can I cause? 🤔

Some of these entries feel AI-generated…and I’m not naming names!!!

I won’t be able to watch along live but hoping one of my top 3 can win.

In an ideal world I’d somehow fluke 23rd place finally as it would be amusing to finally get it this way

ai can never generate captivating whispering and "you're still thereeeeee" lyrics

I took inspiration from dandy* who didn't listen to his own entry and decided to listen to my top 15 votes for the first time... they're quite good!!!!

I'm just here for a Elëdapestophonia slay x

Cannot wait to follow! The winner definitely seems less clear-cut this contest. If I were to pick a horse though, it'd have to be FARC.

I think the winner is actually going to be running away with at least 50 points from the second place!!!

It's really good on pasta with a side of Jadakallumbia x

I was hoping for a position above my recent 27th-30th finishes, but I've seen one of the predictions put me in 28th so maybe not 😅 Still, had a few top 10 predictions too so who knows.

Very few of the talked about songs as contenders appealed to me much, so hoping for a surprise at the top x

Btw everyone there was a reason why I entered this way… I went on holiday during confirmations and was originally going to send something else before I realised I was recycling from last contest ooops… and then I completely forgot until Brer tagged me on the final evening by which point I was already out with Mr D* and the friends we were away with… so it was either miss completely or send something a bit random as my list of potentials was on my laptop back home…

…so I can remember being several drinks in and quickly searching for something so that I could still enter without leaving it so late that it threw the mods and Jade off schedule. I’ve backtracked through my search history and can see I ended up on a Reddit page where 4 people listed backseat as their favourite song of the year so I think I must have just gone with it!

I did also consider videoing a song that the awful 80s tribute act were playing in the bar and submitting that

It is exciting to have a results show where it seems absolutely no one knows who's going to win (except me, I know that I'm winning xx).

In all seriousness I hope this should at least be a better result for me than the last handful of contests and I'll just hope the winner ends up being one of the ~2 or 3 songs that have been named as contenders that I actually voted for xx

Half an hour to go!

But first, here is a reminder of the winning song that has now also turned up in the PopJustice Song Contest got us to Jadakissnia this month:

Can’t wait for my inevitable flop and subsequent shock at the semi results showing that I was safely in rather than scraping through like the results would suggest

With how many quality pop sangs we have this month I just really hope the pop bloc takes this one!
