Suspense. Who receives 12's or a 24...

Thanks Dobbo and Julian for the medals

Not quite a winner contender in the end then but I’m glad Fiona has at least picked up compared to yesterday.

Would be nice if Black Box Recorder won as it was my favourite discovery and my 10, and speaking of 10, would love to get back into the top 10! 🤭

Ok let's see what Mango and Dobbo have to say...

Joint 5th? Or maybe 6th?

Thank you everyone who joined the contest, and followed the resluts in last 2 days <3

Once again congrats to Rich for the win, and I am so happy with a Top 3 hit for myself...I wasn't sure if trance/pop would have been perceived as well, but elated with the result.

Looking forward to next edition hosted by Rich <3!!!

oops I forgot how the ties are broken here. is it 12's or who received more points?

Wow congrats Rich on another win!! I count at least three victories this year now with your Pop Forum Song Contest win too, on a roll. I love Black Box Recorder's top 40 hit and this song was a good discovery too, just snuck into my votes.

Pleased to see 'Glass & Patron' and 'Painted Eyes' both doing well. Shame Lamb just missed out on the top 10 but in good company with Fiona 😎

Thanks Addy for a great hosting job! I really enjoyed the theme and general quality of the entries.

Wow Rich, did you drink some special water recently or something? 😁 Congrats, really enjoyed that entry!

And I didn't get back into the top 10 after all but finishing in the 11th spot is kinda nice for a song called 'One' lol. Thanks for hosting Addy!

Oh my! I take it back - thank you Dobbo and Mango - missed that the 12s were left out of the votes before!

Like buses the contest wins come along at once. Wow. Thanks very much to all the voters - it was completely unexpected.

I originally thought about going for something more obvious but I’ve always loved Black Box Recorder and wanted to epxose their other stuff to more people so then it was just about picking which track, but this lived up most to the Bop Idol premise, it reminds me of a more indie Kylie single perhaps.

Thanks very much for great theme and hosting Addy, I made lots of great discoveries in this, including yours which I somehow didn’t know.

Great to see Oceanlab and Sanna made the top ten too (schlager doesn’t always do so well here) although many of my other favourites were lower down.

Well done Rich on another contest win again this week *.*

Thanks for hosting Addy!

the correct scoreboard with broken ties etc. etc.

I meant to respond to this yesterday but you've mentioned ballads and here's the candlelight mix, which I was considering to send it as well

6th! Not exactly latest Nuggets placing but 4 points behind 2nd so wow!

Thanks for ze pointz. My instincts told me to go full-on pop and it paid off nicely!

I will need to remember how to handle tiebreaks once I reach the PFSC results next month...

Edit: 'Wallflower' is a nice rocking tune. I wish it had more points but 10 votes mean it is liked enough I suppose.

Edited 13 hours ago13 hr by AllStarBySmashMouth

also good luck getting that Bop Idol badge @gooddelta I still haven't received mine!!!

And by the way, I have presented the votes in order of receipt, except for Dobbo and Mangø's. Otherwise Black Box Recorder would have been known as a winner 7-8 voters earlier!!!

Wow I died a death in the second half!
