Exactly - "I'm Makayla Couture and you WILL keep me" - it feels like she's seen a lot of black/trans older figures online and in television stand up for themselves or reclaim their power in a predominantly white and cisgender world, so she regurgitates what she's heard even if it doesn't feel completely connected to the actual intensity of what's happening in the moment and isn't necessarily backed up by her life experience. It just feels a little bit like a phrasebook at points that she utilises to get what she wants in that moment! She seems to put a lot of stock on being a Couture and being a previous makeover contestant which is fine, but she's being automatically called a star on this basis when actually it's what you bring once that's got you in the door that's important!

I know I'm going to say something that really goes against the general consensus but I genuinely think Makayla is one of the most unlikeable queens the franchise has ever seen!! Every time she speaks it sounds like some sort of grandiose twitter nonsense that just sounds dead arrogant and really not inspiring at all, and I'm finding it quite manipulative???? I'm really disappointed because I ADORED the other Couture's and obviously love what Makayla stands for, just not the execution of any of it. Like everyone else though this time!!

I would’ve said Cheiron vs. Kluminican Republic vs. Kathaldazia this month tbh!

A couple of my potential artists showing up this month! Leftfield was my second choice after Barry Can't Swim's "Still Riding" (which I should've sent last month before it got on the Radio 1 Playlist!!!) but if I didn't get that, I had another DJ BORING track lined up and potentially Skye Riley as a fourth too, both quite different vibes! So will be supporting both of those, really like "Winona" and "Blood On White Satin". Surprised the former hadn't been sent before and if I was going to pick anyone to send it I would've said Skall so that lines up. I also considered Ceechyna's "Last Laugh" for the last contest of 2023 so interesting to see it come up a year later AND for it to be FARC of all people! What a banger. Heard Semi 1 already and throwing some hype out to Kathaldazia which was really great, had some Peggy Gou vibes. Very open semi, not sure how it's going to go but a bit nervous of my chances! I spot a few people who would potentially be fans but judging by how poppy the semi is, I think I'll need them out in full force! Oh and Kluminican Republic have got to win this one, surely?. Think it might be the biggest track they've ever entered tbh and believe me we both haggled over who was going to get this song :lol: So I am firmly manifesting a Kluminica visit in January x

leftfield / grian chatten full way round [ewan mcvicar remix] bjsc 170 NH06PqgrCgo BJSC 170 is a big one. BJSC 169 brought us another Top 3 in the form of REIN, which was our 5th Top 5 of the year and our 6th Top 10, plus retained Aeroche's ranking at the top of the YTD scoreboard. However, it's not set in stone, as juggernaut nations Hendinia and Bøtanikkä are chasing our tail in the Top 3 and are equally as ready to take the YTD crown. We like a bit of healthy competition, so we've decided to go big with a "Born Slippy"-esque remix of Leftfield's "Full Way Round" featuring the vocal talents of Fontaines DC frontman Grian Chatten. A track from their 2022 album "This Is What We Do", Scottish DJ and former Aerochian representative Ewan McVicar gave the track a ravey overhaul to bring you a big closing moment for the end of the 2024 BJSC year. Can this keep up our hot streak? In a pop-filled semi, we're unsure, but we hope that you get a great discovery out of this the same way we have!

I watched it on WOWPresents Plus for the first time so I’m wondering if the licensing has changed?

very fair veto there!

Reconfirmed!

SORRY it’s me. looking and submitting right now

I know I sent different ones for both my 50th and 100th upon request as I could make justifications for how it ties into the Aerochian brand - Dux Content was Danny L Harle and A. G. Cook, the latter was one of my most iconic winners at the time of my 50th. 100th was Julio Bashmore and Jessie Ware, Jessie Ware was my first entrant so a full circle moment. I wonder if others might have done the same?

Glad that I changed my entry last night to something else as my first choice just ended up on the Radio 1 Playlist... LOL. Didn't expect that!

Don’t know if anyone else wanted my song!
