May 13, 200916 yr Ahem so yeah... erm... Isn't it interesting how so many people think they need more male entries (is there any way of making that sound not wrong?) lately it seems the stigma against them has fallen slightly as shown by the finalists this time round. Maybe we'll see even more in XVIII
May 13, 200916 yr Author I wasn't using it as one was I? I can't help Rich's raging hormones whenever I make a completely innocent comment - I may have had ginger girlfriends in the past but I'm not sure if he is quite my type :lol: (no offence Rich!) I am straight thank you, no offence to you either of course :P but I think straight males are in a minority on this forum, I just couldn't help myself from giving such a reply :heehee:

Maybe we'll see even more in XVIII there is no way of making that sound innocent to be fair :heehee: I would happily send a male if I found a song to compare with the females, like I did with M.A.G.I.C, one of my favourite songs of 2009 :heart: my entry this time is male/female so it's half way there!
May 13, 200916 yr I am straight thank you, no offence to you either of course :P but I think straight males are in a minority on this forum, I just couldn't help myself from giving such a reply :heehee: Indeed, but there was that lounge topic wasn't there i which a surprising number of members actually came out as being straight so maybe the balance isn't quite so one-sided as it appears. Anyways, I'm going to try and send a bloke to the next one... maybe... :unsure:
May 13, 200916 yr I sent a male, and recorded my worst finish to date. So, never again. Dragonette however, FTW.
May 13, 200916 yr I sent a male, and recorded my worst finish to date. So, never again. Dragonette however, FTW. yeah but your man was Haffi Haff, so tbh you were doomed from the start. Not that I'm suggesting you shouldn't send the artist responsible for the best BJSC entry EVER next month ^_^
May 13, 200916 yr You want me to send Dragonette next month? I'll see what the album is like. I may put it off until XVIII either that or IN2U gets pushed back
May 14, 200916 yr Indeed, but there was that lounge topic wasn't there i which a surprising number of members actually came out as being straight so maybe the balance isn't quite so one-sided as it appears. Anyways, I'm going to try and send a bloke to the next one... maybe... :unsure: Or maybe i weren't the only one to lie :ph34r: I urgently need to send a female in the next one :lol:
