Freeze

Yeah, you're right, most of the time I didn't play it safe. Sure, I sent some pop songs in English every now and then, but most of the time I sent various flavors of Korean and Japanese music. I often wanted to send something a bit different that would stand out and that I still loved, long streak be damned. I still do. It feels so much better when I qualify while also bringing something fresh, quirky, risky or new to the table. I don't want to avoid sending something I love just because I'm afraid of my streak. I've been burnt by playing it safe too many times in the past, and it feels so awful to DNQ that way. Now, I feel even more amazing when I qualify, and I'm even more okay with a DNQ, because I know I sent something I truly appreciated. I was being as honest as I could be, and if that didn't work, well, that's just fair game.

I'm really disappointed that Ben's Sanctuary didn't qualify. Such a great discovery for me and my 10-pointer too🙁 But I'm thrilled to qualify with Anri's city pop bop! Wohoooo!🥳🤩

Greenfroze has voted!🥳 With five more songs I wanted to give points to🙂🙃

Gonna listen through the songs for at least an hour longer, maybe two. I'm enjoying my semi! Oh, and FSR Rontvia's entry is so weird! In the best of ways🥳

Some length queens would kill for an extra 20, but I wouldn’t. I’m very happy with the length of mine, and I hope that when I show it to all of you, there’ll be no complaints. Mine is number two in semi two. Click the link and check it out now🥳

Fine, I changed my entry. Confirmed a Japanese 80's pop hit!🥳

I just sent a K-pop club banger, but it's reaally tempting to hop on the J-train now. I've got loads of potentials. We could make this a record number of Japanese entries in a contest!🥳 (what's that number now, by the way?😋)

The timing of this confirmation thread didn't align correctly with my sleeping pattern! Just kidding, I've confirmed something for now :)

Greenfroze has finally voted! That was hard, but I'm happy with my top 15. Loads of fantastic discoveries this time🤩🥳

Uh-oh, I'm in deep trouble; I wanna vote for 27 of these songs!🤯

Greenfroze has voted!🥳

The link to Cumulonimbia's entry doesn't work for me :/

First song in and I'm already loving this contest🥳 Feels good to get back into this!

I changed my entry (again!). I hope it's nok taken, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone else beat me to it, as it's rather lovely.

Please don't burn anything during the summer. It's too hot already!
