Given the country that got to it first, alt is the last word I’d use

oh i thought they confirmed model/actriz which would be very surprising but i ain't complaining given there are some bangers in their latest album

Model/Actriz are 100% banned from this contest for finishing in the top 3 last contest as has always been a rule anyway x

(and as I hinted in the other thread there's a high chance that any attempt to enter them again any time in the near future will be vetoed regardless after 2 top 5 finishes in the span of a year)

let’s just name and shame them i can’t be bothered trying to look up farc’s most recent top 2 hit

Better yet, introduce a new rule to veto all top three artists for the first year after their top three hit. We get it, they're popular on Buzzjack, they're likely to be popular again in such a short timeframe and with a song probably from the same era, post the song in the Pop forum and find something inspired!

Tbf to me, I wasn't in the contest when they were sent! This was my introduction to ORKID and ofc I fell in love with it and didn't think TWICE about wanting to send it

So this genuinely wasn't me attempting to be cheap btw!! (Clearing my name x) I saw it had so little views on YT so thought it'd be safe until it was time for me to confirm and seeing everyone's clues and they were eerily close to my entry! (And once I confirmed I found out they finished 2nd a few contests ago!)

Needless to say though, I'm looking for a replacement x

Same, that was exactly one contest before my first BJSC, so popularity didn’t play a role for me either because I had never even heard of the woman. I typed I Still Miss You from the previous edition on Spotify, and literally the first song that popped up next was that one, and I was like, wow, this could do really well. Then I went to check the list of used songs and saw that it had come second, and I was like, oh f***, someone’s definitely going to send it now. 🤣Just so we’re clear, I didn’t even try to submit it because I didn’t want to come across as pretentious as a beginner.

I think the song is just really good, and I read in the comments that for some people it was even popping up as an ad. But I don’t think it should be vetoed, considering that artist has only been used once, and the song simply found its way to more people because it’s just that good.

Completely fair! I hadn't even worked out what the song in question was (and haven't heard it yet now it's been mentioned!) so that wasn't a personal remark towards anyone in particular or about this song/artist! I will check it tomorrow, I'm sure it's good, their last entry was brilliant.

I know you didn’t btw! So no worries! I just wanted to clear my name that I hadn’t heard of them until I discovered this song due to not being in the contest they finished 2nd.

It’s incredible though. So easy to see why it’s as sought after as it is.

We have one veto:

ORKID - In All Of My Tomorrows 25

- triple confirmed 10

- artist came 2nd in BJSC 179 3+12

- peaked at #78 on Swedish Spotify (not currently charting)

- appeared in 1 personal chart (RobBot)

- mid level blog coverage

yea the song's pretty much as good as Fleeting

okay good bc I was seeing the discourse and I was starting to feel guilty and was like “maybe I should just switch and get it over with” but I got the message so you’re getting DNQ INCOMING phase from me

WHO’S READY FOR THE MOST ALTYR CODED SONG EVER

All this drama over such a mid song? :’)

sending something rly cute

This was my choice too! Can’t argue with the stats though, check it out if you haven’t heard it ❤️

Just a question, not questioning the veto (obviously) but why 3 + 12 for the same feat?

Any artist recycle gets at least 3 veto points automatically (more if they've been entered multiple times within the last 30 contests) then it also can get more points depending on the success of their previous appearance(s) (it's +12 for having a previous top 5 hit).

Then I should hurry up and recycle one before it’s too late xD

That makes sense, thanks!

I sent one of my favorite songs

Alt block again

You came third this month and finished higher than the song you initially confirmed

No DNQ INCOMING phase
