ykw im fine with this winner, congrats dhwe on convincing us to stan your catacomb rave song 🥰 if im gonna be honest i kinda felt like ragebaiting this edition bc i had been flopping in most of the retro contests (if not all song contests in general lately) so i went with a stupid batshit makina j-pop track I heard in high school that lives in my brain rent free bc when in doubt send something from a rhythm game 🤩 and then braydino went in and sent another stupid batshit EDM track from a rhythm game so I guess great minds do think alike 💀💀💀 it came with this iconic dance

ready to flop in this again

meanwhile my brain: Also thank you for the recaps @Sabrewulf 🥰

can’t wait for placid angels to slay and my entry to get last place

it was on my Philippines playlist 🥰

Jerry Heil I might have expected as a recycle, but didn't expect ALT BLK ERA to get another outing so soon! 😍 😍 😍 😍

Can’t wait to get ~10 points this edition

it’s cold in here there must be some clovers in the atmosphere

we need a uvland or Oslol return

the way I KNEW someone was gonna try that song

Lmao I completely forgot about the Scandipop spinoff and delighted to see Madison Beer on there as well! thought ALT BLK ERA was gonna be it considering how much I sucked at a lot of the genre contests this year (especially the second half of the year)

WHOLE

well I’m glad I strayed away from the temptation of sending XG 😂 also is the autoveto for the Capital playlist new? I thought that only applied to Radio 1

I have three categories for mine: • Unforgettably iconic • yes I remember them • I will never forget you, no matter how hard I try your guess as to which entries belong where

isn’t it pretty common for artists to be sent with different songs in quick succession? Lost Kings had a similar turnover in the same two contests (R U Mine remix -> Bad)

that’s another one for the lore drops

touching grass is a good thing sometimes

it was when everyone confirmed Fleeting back in October and I was like “wait what is this”

is this gonna be like Sarah kinsley where I feel like I’m out of the loop

side note: I really hope we get Hushkanukia this contest
