Just lurking while taking advantage of a Pacific time zone deadline. I've listened to all the songs (all the way through!) at least twice and some of them much more than that. By the way I always listen to every song completely at least once, as I've done for every PJOPS I've participated in...

LMAO! Christian Vander's falsetto is certainly the type of singing that would normally only be done either by people who are 100% sure nobody can hear them or by dads who give zero fucks about embarrassing their kids. Thanks for the point, thanks for the great song entry and of course thanks for...

Well this was one of the hardest rounds I've ever had to vote in. I fear that my own entry is the sort of song that will end up in everyone's honorable mentions but not actually in their top tens.

I was skeptical of this theme at first because my favorite part of this contest is making new discoveries and that would obviously be harder if every act had been entered before, but when the list was posted I had no recollection of about half the names on it, and some of my favorites ended up...

Thanks for your concern! I am alright, just busier and spending less time on the internet recently. I'll surely be back next round!

Me checking in to discover I finished sixth from last... But seriously I thought this was the best round yet and it was way too difficult to narrow my picks down to ten. I even had to forego giving points to a few acts that I already really like. I didn't realistically expect there would...

That zero points feeling.

I think my 2000s movie character has something to say to those who can't wait.

My first choice was vetoed, so I entered a backup song with characteristics that will likely only appeal to about two of you. My other announcement is of course that my movie character is Johnny from The Room.

You had your chance in rounds 13 and 22.

CDs are the same all over the world so the CD will play in your player, but I don't know if the "Sumapura Music" mobile service would work outside Japan.

Thanks to those of you who gave my entry points so far, especially @Ironheade with the 12! I like a few of the songs in the current top ten but it's mostly folks in the middle or bottom of the leaderboard who will be pleased when my scores are revealed in part 2.

Absolutely criminal making us cut this list down to just ten songs. I feel so bad for the songs I couldn't give points to, some of which would likely get 8 or more points in an average PJSC.
