I hope this round doesn't result in anybody else losing their sanity...

Went with a song I've been meaning to send for ages, but always assumed it would get vetoed. We'll see!

The three entries I am considering for this round are not the most competitive of the bunch.... Maybe I should do some more diggin'....

Thanks everybody, much appreciated!

So, let's dive in..... :music:

Round 170 sees another R&B song for LookyLion, this time by Australian singer JACOTÉNE, who is just 18 years of age. Stop Calling is her debut single.

I went with my original entry for this round - maybe a bit of an odd one out, but I love it a lot

The unlucky fellow was me... ^_^

I had a hard time picking my entry from three potentials... I might go back and forth, sorry in advance!

Kylie - Confide in Me (Big Brothers Mix)

Was getting worried there for a second!! Thanks voters for getting BOTH my girls Samantha & LEXXE into the final!!!

Congratulations on winning, winner; and thanks for hosting, host!!

We shall see!! ^_^

For round 169, here is Samantha Jade with a track from her new EP Love.Sick Vol. 2, released last August. Samantha shot to fame in Australia in 2012 when she won The X factor Australia; since then, she has released several albums, EP's and singles in her homeland.

Looking forward to diving in, and interesting to see TWO of my previous PJSC entries here.....

Voted, some of my favourites from this year appeared here - nice!!

Australian emotopop from LookyLion this time.... if it's allowed in

My entry was released just this week…

Thank you to our lovely host - I was not able to follow the results as I was at a Three Degrees concert - but I am quite pleased with Lady Blackbird's score!! Thank you to the voters for this amazing song - and 18 points from Persephonia?? WoW! Now please repeat this at PJSC please hehehe Congratulations to the medalists, well done!!!

LookyLion is of course Loeki de Leeuw (Looky the Lion)

Thank you for voting Lady Balckbird into the final!!

My votes are in - like stated by Addy above, SF1 is quite diverse, and I enjoyed most of it.

I was in London last week, and in HMV on Oxford Street, I noticed an intriguing album cover: Lady Blackbird's new album, Slang Spirituals. It intrigued me so much, I decided to have a listen, and I was blown away instantly. Lady Blackbird is American singer Marley Munroe, who released her debut album Black Acid Soul in 2021, to critical acclaim. She has since worked with Moby and Trevor Horn, and is currently touring with Moby. My entry for 168 is the final song on the new album. When I heard it for the first time, it was like she was singing directly at me, about me. She took me back to all kinds of places, good and bad. Maybe it's not the most competitive of my entries, but certainly one of the most personal ones.

An 8-minute soul song is not usually my style here, but I am obsessed with Lady Blackbird since I heard her new album earlier this week

It's going great!! Love this concept :cheer:
