I just watched this video recapping all the KY drama and it was worse than I remembered lmao I forgot about that weird fake crying moment in untucked :’)

Please, we do not need that abomination back here. (Even though I think I voted for her last time x)

So… iamamiwhoami… if you were here between 2010 and 2014, you would know that this is my favourite artist ever, so there was no point in hiding this fact. Although I did keep silent and try to put yammy in 2nd spot in my votes sometimes… but I doubt this worked on any of the legacy queens who were part of buzzjack from at least the 2010s. Week 1: I honestly forgot that we have to send a sang right away when submitting our artists so I had no time to think and went with a true buzzjack classic - ‘play’. I was ecstatic that I got them but the round 1 result was disappointing although not that surprising. It’s not exactly the song that would take the pop forum by storm. Week 2: I knew I wanted to go for something stronger and blue the album is full of buzzjack friendly bangers so I settled on the incredible ‘chasing kites’ which is probably low top 5 for me from the album. It finished joint 2nd which was a great confidence booster. Week 3: now this was a head scratcher. These guys haven’t had any non-singles released during their first three album eras. And I did not want to send anything from their 4th - ‘be here soon’ - which is my least favourite yammy album, although it was their most pure pop creation. I just found it bland and uninteresting enough for this. However, technically three songs from blue were not released as singles prior to the album release and ‘shadowshow’ was one of them. They still got released as singles afterwards but Calum gave me a green light so I went with shadowshow. I couldn’t believe that it actually won that round. Week 4: Riding high on that dopamine I wanted to take a risk this time and went with the ✨pretentiously named✨ ‘t’ - one of my favourite songs from bounty. It finished 10th in BJSC back in the day so I didn’t think it was going to that much of a flop. As soon as the votes started to come in, I kind of gave up. But in the end it managed to squeeze in and still keep me in the game. Week 5: now that my goal to send at least one song from each album was achieved, I needed to focus on slayage and the theme was ‘slight best’ so ‘blue blue’ needed to be sent this time. Little did I know that Calum was going to play the biggest prank on us all and cancel democracy in favour of some good old drama involving me… for the second year in a row. Unsurprisingly, yammy was eliminated partly because we already had too many synth bands, apparently. I already stated before that I found that decision disappointing, it was unfair and a copout purely due to the reasons given. Five bands from 80s/90s were still left in the competition so the ‘variety’ reason didn't make any sense either. I understand that it’s difficult to go against some of people’s favourite bands ever but I would rather have that reality check than lip service. So, the last ESL act was officially eliminated with one of the best songs that would definitely finish top 3 that round, if it were up to the public. Gaga 🐮 🐮: I knew none of the songs had a chance against ETS so I gave up and I went with my personal favourite from blue that also lyrically fit my mood and position in this competition - ‘the last dancer’ - a beautiful underrated somber banger. The life has gone from this room There’s no future for me here Final thoughts: f*** you @Calum you fugly slut. I’m jk thanks for doing this, it must be a gargantuan effort each week. 😘 All in all, this was fun. I sent at least one song from each of the three albums I wanted to showcase here, won a round and finished 2nd in another one. And someone bought blue CD which was amazing to see! Come to the dark side mama!!! I would have loved to not be the butt of the joke for the second year in a row here but hey, at least ✨variety✨ and 🌈democracy🌈 won. And remember… “If you can’t love yourself keep behaving like this I fear people will deliberately not vote you as they won't want you back in”.

Good luck with the old people music 👍🏻 variety ✨

Shock

Oh no, can anyone tell them that their name is not radio friendly, they must have not realised that!!

Omfg I totally forgot about that

In terms of the actual challenge, Naya was so far ahead of everyone else - amazing delivery and very strong jokes. I also laughed at Alik way more than the editing suggests the rest of the cast and judges did. Using a shtick to deliver the jokes would have massively helped her but she was not bottom 2 for me. Flesh definitely should’ve been there if we were to judge only the material. (The prostate cancer joke was already done by Bob; it’s possible Flesh still came up with that herself but still x)

Tinashe is shaking in her boots. (It was sarcasm; this sounds like something @RobBot will love though x)

What a bizarre hill to die on.

So iconic PISS winning this exactly at the time of their album release, at least in this time zone so far x

What an incredible top 3, all in my top 4 in the same order. Chez landsliding this after missing out on BJSC by 1 point, justice served So surprised with 7th place, thanks everyone for the votes and even a 20!

About 1/3 of all voters placed PISS in their top 2 Bronze 3

Thanks for the points, a second bronze!
