Confirmed a stunner. I feel like it's what might happen if Kelela and FKA twigs got together and had a baby. :P Also it's so cool, I've had personal correspondence with the artist. I ordered something from her store and we talked by e-mail for a bit and she also sent me a personalized note with the thing I ordered.

I think this one will be my 45th entry, that's v close to 50, folks ;o I think I already know what I wanna send to my 50th, no it's not Björk feat. Owl City.

Yeah! And #downwithgreenrooms, go #straighttoconfirmations :P jk I don't rly mind, I'm just excited to f***ing confirm my next beauty already *.*

kinky and surprising

That was exactly one of my first thoughts haha "my goal is to make climate change fun" - you go girl :cheer:

LOL then @ me knowing all of the songs on the list cos I never even considered myself a superfan :kink: (more of a lesser fan I guess you could say xo)

'I Just Can't Stop Loving You' I suppose. Was never really a fan of 'Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough' either but I think I like it a bit more.

http://i64.tinypic.com/2usy8pf.jpg Is anyone else listening to this?? It was released in February, I'm floored (positively) that she has finally released her first full-length album since the 2008 debut Love Is Dead, which I loved. I definitely need some more listens to let it all sink in but I'm excited about this album right now, definitely feels different from the debut. I love all the atmospheric vocal interlude stuff she's done on here and 'Mimicry' and 'Giving Up The Ghost' are some of my other highlights. Also pleased that there's one song sung fully in Estonian on here! REPRESENT~ 1. The Opening of the Way (intro) 2. Mimicry 3. Everybody Bleeds the Same 4. Savages 5. One 6. Purification (interlude) 7. Legends 8. Where the Dark Things Are 9. Better 10. Giving Up the Ghost 11. Tuleloits 12. Shadow Works (outro)

ooh I'm going to try to rank my 18s from 2018 and 2019. There's not that many of them lmao, hopefully I didn't skip anything, I did look through all the contests. 1. FARC - Margrete - Joy 2. Quintessa - Mónica Naranjo - Europa 3. Desbuanda - Blaue Blume - Ebony 4. Espen - DJ Maphorisa & DJ Raybel - iWalk Ye Phara (feat. Moonchild Sanelly, K.O, Zulu Mkhathini) 5. Aelandor - How To Destroy Angels - Welcome Oblivion 6. Rolloland - Propaganda - Das Testaments Des Mabuse 7. Florina - MAY - Falling (I'm so sorry, I still love this too!)

I came not 23rd (like I said here), not 33rd (like I said in the predicta), but 13th! Was pleasantly surprised seeing that, quite a lot of middle and high scores in there including some surprises like an 18 from Fljótavík and a 15 from Aelandor. Thanks to the voters for giving me a respectable (although unlucky for some xo) position for yet another return contest. Deandria will continue with an intriguing beauty next time *.*

I can imagine this being quite the painful listen due to the circumstances. There's a lyric about a hotel in London in there. :( I'm one of those people who not only knows the hits like 'Linger', 'Zombie' and 'Dreams' but I've been listening to all their stuff for a while, I just love their sound.

betch I called the top 2 in my predicta DAYS ago :P Maybe you noticed already but you were 5th, the number order is slightly skewed on the spreadsheet which is easy to do! -- Anyway, like I had 'warned' earlier, I had to go last night and I was gutted cos my god, what a tense results show *.* Wasn't sure which way it was gonna go but I was sliightly thinking Jadakissnia had it. Would've been fab to see Jade with a first win in the regular contest (or Chez / Klum) but to me Aeroche had winner written all over it and I did give it 6 points so pleased enough. What a fun birthday present Leww, congrats *.* Also really pleased with 13th for me (unique position I believe), it was looking like I'll end up around the 20 mark so that's a bit of a step up *.* Thanks to the voters and thanks Jeff for an entertaining show!

Currently in a tie with the country who received my 18 points, fun fact there. Also I voted for 8 of the current top 10 so that's a sight *.*

I think I've given you over half your current total lmao

I was just looking at that as well - pretty shocking! I predicted them 10th lol

omg thank you so much dandy*! Wasn't expecting an 18 there, that's awesome. ^_^ Sorry the points weren't reciprocated, although I did say I wish I could've voted for you just for the wolf themed video haha.

I didn't vote for it but I have to say, since the last plug it's been continually in my head. :o

I'll need stats for how many times I've given you 13 points :lol:

Thanks Quintessa for 11 points, always nice to see your country's name in the very first set of votes *.*

Happy birthday! 🎈 All the best!

while we wait, enter shoutbox song contest, cats vs dogs theme 😺🐶 I'm fairly pleased people are taking that idea seriously *.*

They said I was listening to too many BJSC songs :teresa: Nah, no one's actually sure, it's me and my neighbour, he said he thinks maybe rats chewed something apart LOL. It should be fixed by the end of the week hopefully!

It's looking like I'll be able to follow these live properly for about the first hour or so (just a guesstimate!). :lol: Hopefully my laptop battery will be behaving nicely, I'm living in the age of no electricity in my home since Thursday or Friday LOL. Oh well. Good luck to my fave songs especially! I'll probably be catching up in the library tomorrow tbh. :kink: Khia to win for a curveball lmao

BJSC is a very political contest tho, didn't you know, arr :lol: Looking forward to the results, hopefully I can follow them live, although it's not a guarantee this time due to domestic electrical reasons.

Voted! I had planned a concept for my votes but it ended up being just text because my plan didn't work. I am cry.
