PJ RETRO 94: The results are in!

I have voted (and was actually compiling my ballot while doing the PJXtra reveals, only had to add commentary now). My top 5 is excellent and it was pretty easy to choose between these 7 which would potentially fill up the lower end of the top 10. The order of my 10, 8 and 7 pointers was the main thing I was undecided about. Three of the FL entries got points from me this time, exactly half of these it seems.
 
This is such a throwback to my first round of PJOPS. I really didn't think this would be for me so I kept saying no.
But my first round of PJOPS 4#? was a round where you could only send acts that had competed before.
I loved

and loved that it won.

I also wanted to send

so that was a great way to get me started.

(This is the only song contest I have multiple Tiny Crowns in and all my Tiny Crowns are for songs in Hindi. Also, I already have one Tiny Crown from this weekend, so what’s another one?)

De De was actually what I was originally going to submit to the Villains round way back when, because the whole music video storyline is about a diamond thief plotting a heist (although the lyrics do not match it at ALL because it’s basically just “give, give, give, give me your heart” ddd.)
 
So... I originally submitted this song by Sophie back in that short/long round I hosted (PJ Retro 82) as a 5+ minute song however decided to withdraw it because I found a shorter version which could be used in later rounds. And finally, here it is. The original extended version just has a longer intro and middle-8 instrumental so I decided against it but it's still excellent:


(this one happens to be on Spotify, along with a slightly shorter version which I only now noticed oop)

The first time I (or anyone else) sent Sophie, interestingly, again occurred in a round I co-hosted (PJ Retro 77) dedicated the one-word song titles where I sent this tune which got a borderline top 10 placement:



I discovered "Tell Me Why" around the same time and it seemed like a perfect balance of Eurobeat, Italodisco and Kylie's PWL stuff so yeah... I hope it does well here after all this time waiting to actually send it to this contest.

To quote Vanessa Carlton, who I saw in concert in 2016 in Amsterdam, before she began playing "A Thousand Miles" as her opening song so that she could move on to new material:
