Was that JoJo Siwa in the video for 'Bad 4 You' xx

Lovely entry from Doctor B. Yet another one that needs to be doing better. Love to see some of my nachos atop the scoreboard so far!

I only listened on YouTube tbf! 3 minutes would probably be a more satisfactory length for it x Looooved blacksquare's entry, both the song and video ❤️ (what is it also doing so low so far xx)

I also guessed Jade for that one! (But Chez also makes sense)

RATPAJAMA being said entry which I thought was a better Boy Harsher on this occasion Fun entry from Addy too albeit too short x

Oh well I hope this is not me wildly overpredicting a second Dobbo entry in the span of a few days then - shocked to see Nfract at the bottom so far, suuuurely that won't stay that way.

I also noticed this, random.org being on point x

gooddelta with the spoken word entry once again

Intriguing entry from uhsting, reminded me a little of the iconic 'Threnody For The Victims Of Hiroshima' x Boy Harsher are always good but I did think on this occasion there was another entry that did their sound a bit better!

Predicting an Nfract win I think but having missed the listenthrough I know even less than usual about what we were feeling this time x Hope my song will have got at least a couple of the higher scores

I will probably look for something else but at the moment the only potential I have is not currently on Spotify oop. Might have to keep an eye for if it gets added there at some point x Hiipe anyhoo

[/late] YTD update (see here for previous positions) Kluminican Republic jump out into a stronger lead while Bøtanikkä's win pushes them up from #7 to #2, then there are 3 countries tied on points for 3rd to 5th place right now (I normally don't bother specifying the tiebreaks in these updates but they are always broken as in regular contests first by number of votes then by 18s etc., so Jadakissnia are currently 3rd with 100 votes, 5 18s and 8 15s, Neliönoir 4th with 100 votes, 5 18s and 5 15s and Cor Lupus 5th with 98 votes). Bronzil and Greenfroze both climb into the top 10 in place of Fljótavík and Ajanaeda. Persephonia up 4 places pushing closer to the top 10 again x 1 870 Kluminican Republic 2 831 Bøtanikkä 3 810 Jadakissnia 4 810 Neliönoir 5 810 Cor Lupus 6 804 Danæviia 7 747 Aeroche 8 709 Hendinia 9 706 Bronzil 10 672 Greenfroze 11 655 Skall 12 654 Persephonia 13 631 Altyr Muunilinst 14 629 Ajanaeda 15 577 Fljótavík 16 577 Cumulonimbia 17 575 Lookylion 18 568 FARC 19 566 Why So Sirius 20 552 Séyetana 21 535 Trifoski 22 533 Pestolia 23 529 Land of DW 24 505 Aesthetica 25 496 FSR Rontvia 26 492 Macromia 27 491 Baleghde 28 481 Elëdan 29 465 Kathaldazia 30 418 Hinterlandia 31 410 Lotunia 32 408 République d'Áskorza 33 404 New Lexico 34 395 The Spodic Empire 35 387 Ben's Sanctuary 36 373 Scotland 2 37 355 Taahino 38 354 Terra Avium 39 350 Thelonia 40 347 Zanmatony 41 334 Mothertopia 42 318 Aelandor 43 307 Dobago 44 306 Cheiron 45 304 POPHub 46 249 Jupiterdonia 47 241 Herbilore 48 229 Singerpurear 49 164 Beaverdonia 50 160 Yehesi 51 157 Kylienips 52 141 Oslol 53 124 A-Konohagakure 54 121 Hushkanukia 55 114 Niceland 56 106 Ultraviolenceland 57 97 Palmyra 58 95 Summericia 59 93 East Rukahavian 60 83 Conoria (and just for clarification the final scoreboard for this contest is indeed staying as is so apols to Palmyra being denied 3 extra points xx)

Has Cody forgotten he is hosting again x

I suppose it is about time for this to come around again as a theme ~ The witch house racism though!!

Well didn't quite vote for the winner in the end (was a commiseration at least) but 3 of my top 4 finishing in the top 5 so that's great to see, and a further 3 that I voted for in the lower half of the top 10! Yumi Zouma came 22nd out of 42 in BJSC so 14th out of 25 is more or less exactly the same result adjusting for the size of the field (i.e. being just below the exact midtable mark both times), the consistency! Disappointing to see GIFT and L'Impératrice down in the bottom 5 with me, genuinely might have predicted the latter to be a win contender so really not sure what happened there I suppose thanks to Cow for blocking me from the wooden spoon but yeah no surprise at all at the bad result this time, I'd say it might have been better suited to a different contest but I think it's just a song that isn't connecting with people like I wanted it to unforch! I'll just take my bronze medal from Doctor B and run with it x Thanks for the hosting Jade, was fun to read all the little blurbs with each vote Looking forward to a potential Rich hosting next time! (and happy birthday oh my)

And yes all of those entries were sent by who I guessed as well - the last 5 voters (or non-voters) having fairly distinct tastes from each other x Didn't vote for any of those but the Turnover song was pretty good and another one that grew on me on second listen. Congrats Rich on a first win here!

Ah, well I guess Jim won't be too upset about losing to Camp Claude then Yndling was a fab discovery anyways so thanks for that Jim <3

Was thinking Tennis would be J00ps as well (I think I could fairly confidently guess who all of the last 5 unmasked entries belong to), didn't quite make my votes but I'm surprised they've done quite so badly, deserves better. Thanks for another few points for my fellow tank x

I guess Camp Claude has this now as obviously whoever sent Yndling (guessing Jim) can't vote for themselves x

I don't think I would have called Camp Claude being a winner contender really! Would be a fine winner but still rooting for Yndling naturally x (or any of the others in the top 4)

No surprise at Cow being behind fhána (although from that name I was expecting something Irish, not Japanese). Yndling racing ahead a bit oh my

The cheapness x (good to revisit this AURORA song though, already enjoyed it as an album track but hadn't yet come back to it since then). My 12 now winning *.*

Ooh nice, my points double again and picking up a medal which I was definitely not expecting to happen at any point! Thanks Doctor B ❤️ After were not too far off my points, was reminding me a little of 'Pure Shores'.

Thanks Dobbo, inching towards the double figure points mark I'm surprised L'Impératrice aren't doing better so far, thought that one sounded like it could be quite wide appealing, a bit of an earworm for me anyway!

Camp Claude being Rich makes a lot of sense - I wasn't sure the spoken word part gelled that well with the rest of the song on first listen but it clicked with me more on my second listen albeit still just missed out on my votes. Ooh at Yndling getting up there now o:
