BJSC159: Simona - PLUSH Vr9GxEUlhls Steering Pestolia through #159 is Argentinian singer Simona with her house-influenced banger PLUSH. It's a fun upbeat track where she asserts various identities (pop star, porn star, dealer, baby, angel, devil, mother, father - quite the stacked CV). I was recommended this by a friend, although the first time they told me the name I misheard it as "flush"

Some familiar names but no songs I already know which is nice! Except the ones which are also in PFSC lol x I used to love AMAKA when she was in VanJess with her sister but kinda haven't paid attention to her solo stuff. Perched to hear whatever Scotland 2 is inflicting on us xx

Mine to go please!

Oop my bad, probably should've cross referenced with BJSC mods too mess

Wait just to check does this mean there's a problem, bc please anyone let me know if I've messed up your video links or anything! 😭

Yay pretty happy with 6th! Shame Scotland 2 didn't end up higher, but a decent outcome generally. Congrats Chez on the win and thanks NocheLuna for hosting!

Yes it came through! Ok I'm officially closing confirmations now, voting thread should be up this evening 🕸️🕯️

We've hit midnight and we've got 26 participants! Late entries are welcome as I won't have the thread up til tomorrow afternoon/evening and still need to send the last few songs over to the mods, realistically I'll take anything up til midday x

Unfortunately they have Not gonna be too particular about the midnight deadline! Anything that comes through early tomorrow will probably be fine.

6 hours to go, we're at 23 entries so far! Will send out last-minute reminders to anyone who entered last time 🌩️🕷️

Finding this pretty dull - the verses and the production are cute but "I never thought I would find it, but I found what I was looking for" is so clunky and generic it makes the whole thing feel like it's been run through AI :lol: and the "in the city in the dark" chorus is so repetitive. I don't mind Sam being here as I'm an on-and-off fan, but both have done way better and I think I'd like this more if it was more pots and pans, like a Vroom Vroom / Unholy crossover.

This is your 30 hour warning! Get your entries in if you haven't yet, I'll be busy tonight but will try and keep the confirmations list up to date 👽🔮

The right choice imo! Voting for I Can See You now.

Sent a camp c**ty banger, get ready to vogue x

Thank you to everyone who's entered so far! We've already had our first double confirmation, so make sure to get your entries in before someone else swoops in 🦇🧛 Can confirm, Cody is in fact my burner account x

Welcome to the 14th Pop Forum Song Contest! I'll be your host this time (it's my first so be nice) - let's start off with a quick reminder of our current winner x Mgc-4C9Ro1g Now, to the matter at hand. The theme this time is 'PFSC Goes Dark'. Halloween is just around the corner, and we want dark pop bops! It doesn't have to be explicitly Halloween-related at all - think about something with a slightly moodier, sinister vibe. Dark pop can encompass a lot of different sounds, so don't be afraid (👻) to think outside the box! As always, the rules: 1. The song must not have reached the top 100 in the UK chart. 2. The Artists must not have an Artist Forum on BuzzJack. 3. Any song that we feel is giving other songs an unfair advantage (eg, Sales) or somewhat fits the veto rules (popular on the forum) will still be vetoed. 4. For this contest, we are intrigued by artists that are perhaps not known outside of their own country. We want to discover the best of pop. 5. An artist will only get one entry per contest, so first come first served. 6. The song must not have been a top 20 hit in another song contest on the site. However, a song that has previously been entered into these contests may still be vetoed. The deadline for entries is Sunday 22nd October at 23:59. Please PM me (Ansel) your entry, clearly stating the artist name, song title, and an audio link (e.g. YouTube or Soundcloud). Anyone is welcome to come and join in, good luck!

This is absolutely stunning?? One Of Your Girls has no right to have made me cry the way it did but the video is such a serve. I think Silly is my last place for now too, but that doesn't for a moment mean I don't like it. Aside from loving Rush and Got Me Started already, One Of Your Girls, In My Room and What's The Time Where You Are are real standouts for me. Such a gorgeous album that lives up to everything I wanted from it.
