Ooh up first.

I heard Blue Water playing at a relative’s house a while ago and was mesmerised by it! Thought it fit the long song theme well as it has a sonic switch up too and isn’t the same throughout.

My 12 was such a great discovery, thanks to whoever sent it as I hadn’t heard it before.

Have you not heard ‘Pink Noise’ before??? Omg. You muuust! It’s SO good!

lol I gotta give the people something! I went undetected this time! (I think)

Thanks to @AllStarBySmashMouth for my 12 points - really wasn't sure how people would take to Sandra, and especially considering I don't often do well in these contests, I'm delighted to be sitting at #2 at this stage 🥳 hope it's a good discovery for some of you, as some of yours have been for me (in particular that Fancy song, in fact I listened to his whole Flames Of Love album and really enjoyed it, as well as some of his older non-album hits... gotta love a bit of 80s Eurodisco!)

Come through for me tomorrow Sandra!!

Think I only heard Laura's debut and then lost track!

I'm pretty sure Sandra was also the singer on many Enigma songs! (Enigma is wonderful xo)

Indeed, she was married to Michael Cretu (aka Enigma) and was the vocalist on the likes of 'Sadeness' and 'Return To Innocence'

Such amazing songs ❤️ I love Enigma, and have listened to every album.

This looks pretty well so far for my entry. Did not expect to sit @ #4 after 20 contributions - so thanks for all the points. Looking forward to the evening to see whether Geowulf can stay within the Top 5.

I had to just make sure 'Super Love Me' would definitely be vetoed for song contests 😀 I didn't expect Kim Wilde to contend as a replacement, and indeed no medals yet, but ticking along nicely with points - thanks to the 8 voters so far.

I knew your song pre-contest - think I must have discovered it from your chart!

My selection criteria was quite simple by looking at my Top 50, which song is longer than 4 minutes and fits into the pop genre. Thus, it is very likely you find it by checking my chart 🙂.

Previously on [insert your favourite sports TV series]:

• Kero Kero Bonito's 'Well Rested' was leading by a length (11 points), ahead of Sandra's 'Secret Land'

• 9 senders of songs and their votes yet to be revealed and 1 guest vote (should've clarified this yesterday with how is it out of 30)

• Which song is galloping to the finish line first?

• Will there be a drought of votes on the leading pack and others behind would catch up?

Gotta continue now with the 21st vote showing!

I'd had this entry penned for a The Best Song Contest In The World... Ever! but the theme never really came up so ended up sending it here instead. Thanks for those who have thrown it some points, mid table in PFSC is like top 5 for me!

And glad to given some of the struggling entries a leg up.

Bre is it clear who I am now?!!!
