This song is not remembered for this message and charted poorly #23 after the huge success of Give Me A Little More Time.The record company filmed a video to a daft punk remix which is not very good. This could be one of the reasons why it underperformed.I know some members thought this song should have been vetoed , thanks to the mods it wasnt :). Some songs in this contest were hits in many countries…As already mentioned the quality of this contest really stood out!Congratulations @jimwatts@dandy* amazing theme and hosting@Herbs that Alanis song is likely to become one of my fav songs off all time!!So glad you loved it - it is one of my all time faves and such an underrated gem from Alanis imo
August 31Aug 31 How about a BJSC return @Popchartfreak to showcase your flavoursome delights! I want another Cockney Rebel style entry to discover!

Now I don't feel so alone....😄I finished last in that spin-off so I expect as a defense mechanism my mind wiped my entire memory of that contest 😂This is the compilation I heard The Lion on more recently (forgetting it wasn't for the first time...) If anybody wants a deep dive into the slightly more commercial side of world music, you can pick it up for cheap.

Mid-october onwards might be do-able though 👍

There's still Deep Forest, Hugh Masekela, Sacred Spirit, Incantation, Gypsy Kings as future options though.... 🙂

September 2Sep 2 Oops, only 7 people voting for Fish - a song I've loved since its release in 1990. But: three 12's! thanks for those, and the other points!Yes @Bror - I listen to more than just female bops, lol
September 2Sep 2 Is the 10 points for me because I finished 5th (6 points) and 7th (4pts) in the last 2 contests?

September 2Sep 2 Think Jim and I are comfortably top 2 in the Bop Idol league but haven’t worked it out.
