Love both of those too - I fear Dandy may just have an endless well of randomly generated hits at his disposal.

Trifoski <3 lovely entry and surely the runaway winner if this were a music video contest x

I got my first choice artist yay (I wouldn't have minded the challenge of going for my second choice one though, maybe I'll use them for season 4 if they're eligible xo) If there's no battles this season I wonder if we're going to be having more aggressive eliminations? (also judges having more power than before sounds ominous I'm scurred)

Yass Elëdan. Hopefully another big hit for them x

Oh no for Deandria :'( Not yet done my semi 2 relisten to finalise my ranking again but from my first listen they were 3rd in the semi for me. I did quite like the Pestolia and Zanmatony entries too although the former was definitely way too short (Phil keeps his record for the shortest song to qualify). Yay for Nelly tho x

Third time lucky for Vaskla, we love to see it - so far I've enjoyed each of their entries more than the last x (good for Skall too, I had been hoping this would be all 4 of them qualifying)

2 more gooduns there!

The subtle trolling that Cor Lupus' thumbnail matches that of the previous DNQs x (not sure if done intentionally or not xo)

If only we let Beaverdonia sent Netrix The Spodic Empire <3 mostly very good qualifiers so far x

A good anniversary entry from Aelandor, not sure I see it quite being another 2nd place for them but hopefully can do decently x

Ending my DNQ streak with this very surprising qualifier that everyone will be shocked about (seriously though yay xx) Yay for Jadakissnia too!

Are these videos even longer than they were last time Lentyll <3

Omg not the suspense videos again xx

There is also a version history xo

If you edit a response it does overwrite the timestamp but the submissions are still listed by default in the order of their original timestamp anyway! (but yes, these responses aren't editable anyway so moot point)

It isn't set up to edit responses so Calum is just going to have a bunch of duplicates on the form x (I've not done mine again x)

Oh we're back x (I confirmed already x)

Off to the smoothest start I confirmed anyway xo

The rule that you have to vote for me x

Eldritch Anisette fan club on life support (it's me)

Have done a first listen today, will try and slot in a second in the next couple of days. Think one song stands out as a very likely winner to me but who knows when I wasn't there to see what people were saying on SyncTube! Have got ~14 songs I'd be happy to vote for from first impressions and there weren't any songs that I didn't like at all so seems like a strong edition to me.

Yes I'm pretty sure the rules are just that the artist needs to have debuted before 2000 and the song needs to have been released at least 10 years after their debut (and in 2000-2019 obvz). Love that you found a way to make the theme of this more retro adjacent! Nothing is coming to mind for me that fits the criteria immediately so will have to have a search.

Boted x
