Sending my early hype to SASAMI -Slugger which I’ve currently entered in this month’s Buzzjack song contest! I’ll be looking at this week’s result as an omen of my chances over there haha!

The Saturdays - Ego (favourite) Fifth Harmony - that’s my girl CHVRCHES - Clearest Blue Walk the moon - Jenny Pet Shop Boys - Always on my mind A ha - cry wolf ENHYPHEN - Brought the heat back YVA - Grožio Fabrikas (least favourite)

Enrique Iglesias - Bailamos (favourite) Charlie Puth - Light Switch Damiano David - Zombie Lady Tom Aspaul - Kiss it Elton John - Crocodile Rock Lemon Demon - Two Trucks James Blake - retrograde Bob Dylan - Don’t think twice, it’s alright (least favourite)

Christina Aguilera - Genie in a Bottle (favourite) Avril Lavigne - Nobody’s Home Addison Rae - Aquamarine Mary J. Blige - Be Without You Rina Sawayama - This Hell Louise - Borderline SASAMI - Honeycrash Ellie Goulding - Burn (least favourite)

This was my initial pick for this months competition! LOVE this song!!

Love that intro for Mothertopia, Addy! Is a great mantra for our nation! I’ll be using that, haha!

Mothertopia Nationals getting ready for landing

All I know is Mothertopia will be back in the conversation…

Such a strong final!! Just finished my first listen through and have 28 (!!!) songs I could give points too! Cutting that down to 15 is going to be brutal !

BJSC 174 - Priya Ragu - Vacation Priya Ragu - Vacation Wasn’t meant to be this month… forgot to update this thread before the Semi’s finished, lol. Sad my streak is over but will have to start again next month. Unsure why this didn’t connect, maybe just a strong month and in a more alt semi, who knows?

My streak is over!! And coming 21st!! Very very evil. Sick and twisted I would say. just gonna have to come back bigger and badder next month!

Voted! That was a fun listen through !!

Omggggg not Jordan Firstman being sent?! Love him and unironically think it’s a bop!! This was a potential of mine for a future month! Hoping it makes it through SF2! I am shook at Mae Muller making it through the veto, she was on the Eurovision stage two years ago! Cheap! That being said, I’m sure it’ll do very well! I’m also obsessed with that Debbii Dawson song right now… a banger!

Honestly Ajanaeda is an unpredictable nation! Whenever we are discussing what entries we’re enjoying in a particular month I’m normally quite surprised by their favs, lol! I would say an iconic female pop banger is a safe bet, but there have been plenty of (IMO) massive bangers that Ajanaeda are lukewarm to, and then you also run the risk of solely relying on the “pop bloc” … it’s a balancing act

Just tuning in now! Happy Mother’s Day to everyone and their mothers! Let’s see how this turns out for Mothertopia!!!

Can we all just hold space for what special day it will be on Sunday when we should be expecting the results… Mother’s Day!

Don’t think I’ve ever closed the show before! Big responsibility on Mother’s shoulders!

@Brer thank you! I’ve never placed within the top 10 of a semi final so that’s my new goal! Maybe this will be the one!

BJSC 173 • SASAMI - I’ll be Gone SASAMI - I’ll be Gone Pure pop banger this month! Nothing else to say - the bop speaks for itself!

Thank you Herbs! Not a great showing for Mothertopia this month so far but every point helps!

Wow I’m a massive Rose Gray fan but only when I just went and relistened did it click that it was her singing! But now you’ve said that I can’t hear anything else!

BJSC 172 • Gretta Ray - Upgraded nfxbG1T7s9k Had this one in my list of potential sends for a while now after seeing her when she supported Maisie Peters on tour. It’s VERY poppy so I’m hoping it can survive the rock corner of buzzjack haha. I decided to choose it this month as Gretta Ray is Australian and I’m currently having a little Australian (brat) summer holiday so it seemed fitting!

Hi Conor! I absolutely loved ‘like a taxi’. It was easily my 12 in the semis and if it had qualified it would have been my 18 too so I’m gutted for you about it not qualifying! If you have any more songs like that, just know Mothertopia will be voting for you haha!

Wooooo 2025 off to a good start for Mothertopia! Absolutely devastated for ‘like a taxi (oh well)’ though! That was my 12!
