I’ve got 0 (and may do this time). It’s kind of funny!

On reflection I may very well get a 0. I’ve got no idea how my song will do, hopefully well though.

I think getting a 0 is its own kind of achievement.

I must actually tally up the votes I have in to see if anyone is on zero. I hope it doesn't happen though. I think being average is more likely to get you a zero than being bad. I didn't think there was anything bad here anyway!

Maybe you could organize a contest where people submit songs aiming to get 0 points and the winner is the one who gets 0 points or comes closest to 0!!

I dread that listenthrough!

I was reading an old BJSC thread the other day where I had to wait until like the 45th set of votes to get my first point (after having qualified from a semi!), and it did make me think I want to try to get 0 in a final at some point!

Maybe that would be more achievable here, as everyone is an AQ! It must feel pretty brilliant getting 0 If that's what you set out to do!

It's happened a couple of times in a BJSC semi now that people have scored zero, unlikely in the final unless it's an AQ entry I suppose as all of the finalists have got there through the semis.

But I do think you'd need to send something incredibly dull, like a Gary Barlow b-side from 1999, to stand even a remote chance of 60 odd people not voting for something.

But the contest would definitely be hilarious! Some songs that, in my opinion, would normally get a 0 from ordinary people often do well with you guys, so I’m curious what would really score 0 and what people would try! Too experimental stuff almost never gets a 0. 😂

I would send something by Eoghan Quigg.

Someone scraping through by being in "the right semi" but only getting lower half votes could manage it, I guess... But it would definitely need to be beige enough alongside songs that the majority in the semi can't stand (with everyone in the other semi loving those songs it knocks out and having a decent number of songs in the other semi that the ones in your semi like more than yours...). Yeah, that's not happening ever 😂

I'll need to hedge my bets on this one or AQing there 🙊

A year ago I stumbled upon the song where the singer can’t really sing and the song is hilariously dumb. Her profile pic was a baby in the womb sucking its thumb. I wish I could find it again now, but back then it only had like 500 views 🤣

All have 24 hours (just over) to send me your votes please! I also need to vote myself so won't escape the party tag @gooddelta.

I'm hoping to present the results on Sunday, it might be earlier than usual depending on how prep goes so it doesn't clash with any other contest listenthroughs that might go ahead that evening.

Thanks for the tag 🙏

Will have my votes in tomorrow. In the middle of a listen through at the moment and love how 2000s the shoutout to Channel U is in the Remi Nicole song

Crystal Castles followed by Cheeky Girls was even more of a fever dream than expected, with the latter having the same melody as 'Chirpy Chirpy Cheep', incredible

Having listened to all the songs, I'm feeling pretty confident about finishing in the top half with my certified bop. (Now watch me finish bottom with 3 points )

oh welp might send in my votes a bit later past midnight sorry x

I'll cast my votes soon, had finished listening to them this morning

Votes sent :)

My votes are in, another great edition of Bop 💗

3 and a half hours for those nine remaining votes to come in please. I won't quibble if they're a bit after midnight but please no later than 9am as I will be doing the bulk of the results prep in the morning.

Chances are there will be a BJSC listenthrough tomorrow evening (they tend to start at 8pm) so I will attempt to present the results prior to that.

My votes are in now
