PJ00s 42: (There's Gotta Be) More To Life: winner announced!

Thanks to the voters, especially the 12s @Tiger Suit @rawkey (2nd 12 in a row!) @saviodxl @If You Go & @Filler.

Evidently not as @DJHazey did not to even HM a song inspired by and sent for him.

You said the same thing when I sent Miami Horror in round 15.

And it turns out that's exactly the song that @klow's entry was reminiscent of.
Not exactly, but noone else twigged or remembered it.

It was an improvement of sorts as when I sent them they also achieved 70 points but placed at 12th.

Thanks for matching me with the Sarah tribute @londonrain.
The theme was not something I wanted to do.

Very well done to the podium, in which I voted for all songs.

 

Belated Thank You to:

12 @soratami @Phonetics Girl @Filippa
8 @Maki
7 @Oleander
5 @Sprockrooster
4 @ComeOnGloria @Attis @klow
3 @Zar-Unity
2 @Cotton Park
1 @Ezz @londonrain

Congrats to you @Doodvid and well done for a very entertaining set of reveals @londonrain <3

 

When I let myself into it, this is transcendent for me. A warm sunbeam on a cold day. For the rest of you... it's middling on enough ballots to get nearly halfway up the leaderboard, which I probably shouldn't celebrate only a couple of rounds out from my win, but this is still a well-above-par performance by normal Filler standards, so thank you.

In my own votes, I remain Filler King of Flops – didn't vote for anything in the top 10, and 8 of the songs I did vote for are in the bottom half of the leaderboard. Was tough picking a 12 between Marina Gasolina and the frolickingly lovely Swing, though I felt a moral duty to support what turned out to be @livefrommelbs' brief doomed foray into baile funk. I'm not sure I made the right choice – horrifying to see you waltzphobes let Zero 7 fall dowwwowwwwowowowown into the bottom 10.

'Bad to Di Bone' by Puakenikeni hitmakers Brick & Lace is actually a strike off my own potentials list, so I'm a bit relieved it didn't live up to the expectations a couple of you had of it winning, because that might have been my win when I got round to it in, like... 2027.

 

You did it! Congratulations on your quadruple crown @Doodvid! I know how much you wanted a gold in 00s and there it is….

thanks to our host @londonrain and of course to everyone that voted for Zazie, merci beaucoup

 

Congrats @Doodvid and thanks for excellent hosting @londonrain it’s crazy you didn’t have to arrange things more to have such a dramatic reveal! xoxo

 

What an end to my song contest year. Back-to-back wins (Retro & here) when I had really slumped recently - poor Boom! So glad this song connected with the crowd - it reminded me of a lost Steps or Pop! track and I was feeling that way inclined this round. It even sounds great in its original non-English form:

Thanks to the following for their impeccable taste:

12 @Hudweiser @Ezz @DJHazey @Maki @WowWowWowWow @londonrain
10 @2014 @WoW73
8 @Untouchable Ace
7 @VivaForever
5 @Filippa
4 @citoig
3 @klow
1 @ComeOnGloria @Attis @rawkey @Island @iheartpoptarts

My little write-up of 2021 kinda suggested I only participate in this to win. Well…that’s not necessarily true although we all love to succeed I guess *paints_nails_emoji* More for me, I wanted to have had the opportunity to host an edition of each of the ‘Big 4’ (PJSC, PJ Retro, PJ00s and PJXtra) and now the pressure’s off, I really can stop worrying about sending amazing entries and really go to town with the questionable crap I actually wanted to inflict on everyone! *waves at Loose Chippins’ shouting “WE DID IT GIRLIES!”*

Thanks to @londonrain for hosting and for what turned out to be a timely and much-needed theme. I certainly know which “NPC”s sigh I prefer hanging with.

 

Congratulations @Doodvid, "Universe of Love" was the one song I didn't already know that I had to add this month. Well deserved!

 

Should I change my user name to NPC73?

I am so glad this corner of the forum doesn’t have that same shitty high school mentality that tarnishes other parts! Imagine going through life as a bullied people and continuing to perpetuate this online... The lack of self awareness - pathétique!

 

The CDC pretending they've nerfed covid:

 

Congrats @Doodvid ! Thanks for the great hosting (& numerology themes!) @londonrain

Also, for at least a handful of voters... 'the Shins will change your life.'

Spoiler

One of my friends hated Garden State with an unnatural passion. ddd. Whenever I would play the Shins at work I would look at them & say 'this song will change your life'. The quiet rage I could feel as they plotted my death was palatable. Haha!

Thanks to:

12: @Attis
7: @Jeffo
5: @Filler
4: @rawkey
2: @Untouchable Ace
1: @Filippa

HM: @soratami , @DJHazey

6 songs I voted for made the top 10 & The Shins did way better than I thought they would, so all-in-all this was a great round for me.

 

Me totally reading this as NCP and thinking you were all talking about a parking garage.

 

I'll take not being on this list as confirmation I'm a main character

 

Well, you ARE on every veto panel, so...

 

Thanks for hosting @londonrain and congrats @Doodvid!

If Ma Philosophie hadn't been one of those songs I had subconsciously labelled as a hit, I would have entered it sooooo fast! Great choice, @berserkboi! It made my dentist appointment, when I heard it in the waiting room!

Pleasantly surprised with Amy Farris' performance, big thanks to those who gave her points!

 

Yeah, I know, I submitted a pretty likable but mediocre song but thanks so much to @saviodxl, @WowWowWowWow (I loved your side-theme comments, too), @iheartpoptarts (a 10!), @Doodvid, @unnameable, and @londonrain for slinging it some points. Okay so maybe it was just a little bit mediocre.

Laughing again.

Thank you again, @londonrain, for the hosting and I enjoyed the side-theme commentary. I could say so much more. Oh, this also made me laugh:

Hope you feel better soon!

Congratulations, @Doodvid for your well-deserved victory. Looking forward to the next round!

Oh, and thanks to @rawkey for the One eskimO.
