It’s certainly been a while… 😈

Apologies for my slow response… It was a busy weekend! I’ll try again next month…! 💀

I’ve just sent a late confirmation (Bhangra)… Hope it’s not too late!

It’s definitely a grower, which is always a little risky in this competition, so I’m glad enough people liked it on first listen!

Dagny’s album is the best thing that’s been released this year to be honest. Bye Bye Baby would’ve been a great entry for whoever tried to confirm it! Please Look at Me is *even better* though, in my opinion!

Majorly impressed with the first semi final, so pleased that I don't have to qualify from it this time round. Difficult to choose just ten...

Haha thank you. It’s been a long time Jake! Hope you’re good! #heyuk

Oh wow I can’t believe it. First win since 2008... ridiculous, even if there was a six or seven year gap with me not entering in there! Thanks to all who voted for me. I know I rarely post here anymore but I do always look forward to BJSC, as I’ve made some incredible artist/song discoveries over the past few years. Thanks also to Lew for the voting - even if it did look like I might be beaten at the last hurdle!

Am I about to get PIPPED?

Thanks again for the latest batch of votes for Bhangra... It's a long time since I won with the (Dixie) Chicks, so I'll not be counting any chickens just yet.

It didn't strike me as one when I first heard it either, but then my form over the past five years hasn't been brilliant, so maybe I'm finally re-learning!

Bloody hell... thanks for all the points so far everyone. Think my last top three finish was BJSC III, so I’d be delighted with that! Long way to go though...!

I feel quietly confident Bhangra can do well this time... Good to see it get a good reaction and a 100% qualifying prediction record.

Confirmed (hopefully won’t get vetoed this time!) for what I think is my 49th entry...
