Thursday is a bit of an unusual day for a deadline tbf. @CowTzy @Travis @brave lil toaster @Mack. @Mart!n @NocheLuna @LexC @ThemK @Ansel @!!! @WhoOdyssey (I know Jafet already said he probably won't vote)
-
Voted now, I needed to spend a bit of time on my votes but I'm sure you'll all agree it was worth it xo
-
The cat really said your taste is stank, try again xo

Here's how Persephonia can still win.
-
I relistened to the final last night, will get my votes in when I get home today assuming I don't immediately fall asleep x Neliönoir is proving to be a big late grower for me after initially kind of dismissing it as forgettable. I think if Séyetana don't win it could be them again x
-
I kind of feel a duty to say that I am not sure Bronzil sounds like that big of a hit and I fear they may be getting overpredicted again x Cue them winning now.

Radio 1 never supported Fontaines D.C. as much as I thought they ought to until their last album (iirc 'Starburster' was their first song to make the A-List). An instant A-List add would surely be justified for this after how huge their last era was but we'll see x
-
Also I was thinking Fontaines' showing on Apple actually felt a little bit underwhelming - that Spotify debut is more what I thought they might manage! (Whether it maintains anything close to that for more than one day is a different question of course x)
-
Are we sure this isn't just a mistake? Spotify has occasionally briefly combined remixes of songs before separating them again before. I can't find any articles announcing this being an intentional change unless I'm just not searching the right keywords. (And surely if it was then it would happen to all songs at once rather than just a few random ones)

What have you done Klumzee xx
-
Séyetana are winning x Source: trust me bro
-
Much as I wish 'Ghost' had been a winner it only came 3rd! (And they were already sent again since then and DNQed so you've surpassed that one already )

Sneak at #42

https://sync-tube.de/room/ApAM3t-I Final listenthrough from 8pm (will start sooner than the semis x)
-
I'm sure this is why he arbitrarily said 6 years in the first place x
-
I tend to include a couple of sentences about my entry in my voting PM - in all honesty I don't have much profound to say about my entry here, I'm not often one to care too much about lyrics! Will try and make sure to pay attention to the lyrics more than I usually do when listening to this contest. (Although I see there appear to be a couple of foreign language songs which was a bold choice for this particular theme)
-
Was going to post again today following the lack of response to that (maybe people didn't see it in the same post as the YT playlist? x) - but yes still planning to do the listenthrough today unless there are any major objections x
-
If the form wasn't already editable then you still won't be able to go back and change it even if Chez does change it now as far as I'm aware.

I guess I might as well say 'Marlene On The Wall' was the song I originally semi-confirmed - it's a song I've occasionally toyed with the idea of sending to BJSC as a 'forgotten retro hit' moment but I'm not sure how forgotten it really is. I know it very well because my mum played it a lot when I was younger but I'm not sure I've ever heard it outside of the context of that! I probably won't ever send it now if it's been vetoed here but it's an excellent song. Curious to know who the other person who originally confirmed her was (which I guess we may never know now unless they reveal themselves). Tut tut at them actually trying one of her two much more streamed songs though. x There are actually two (well, one and a half) songs that are on here which I also know well via my mum's playlists - had to check if 'I Want You' was the song I thought it was because it's a generic title and I woudn't have known who the artist was, but it is indeed, TIL that wasn't a hit single. The other one I know is 'First We Take Manhattan' although it's not the Leonard Cohen version I know, I assume it's the Jennifer Warnes version which did actually chart... at the giddy heights of #74. I'm really learning here that my mum was into some relatively deep cuts! I don't think I know any of the other songs although a couple of the titles are vaguely ringing a bell so will see if I recognise them. Kind of a shame to only see one song from the 60s for this theme tbh.

This kind of is what I feel like I've been doing for years tbh but I've had substantially less luck with it in the last two years or so oop. Was not that long ago that I got to a streak of 24 qualifiers and I wouldn't say many of those were me particularly paying mind to playing it safe! (Greenfroze's long run of qualifiers felt quite like that as well). I guess I am just gravitating more to even smaller niches these days x You have beaten that streak a couple of times! You got to 13 in the run including all the One Big Final contests (those 7 followed by 6 legit qualifiers - although most of your OBF entries made the top 10 or very close so I am sure they would have qualified from semis anyway) and more recently got to 11 again in BJSCs 138-148.
