I tried to send Silver Sphere a few months ago but was blocked because it was too soon after her last appearance - I kinda forgot about planning to try it again when she was eligible so I'm glad someone else has picked that song up. 'That Other Girl' is like ancient to me now but it's a classic. A few others here that I already know and like too. Here's hoping I'll find a few more good discoveries than I did last contest though.
I tried, but Unsolicited idea but maybe there could be a way of designating relaxed rounds in the master lists? I know I’m lazy but if I see an artist has competed before, my first thought isn’t “check the thread to see if the rules were different that time.” xo
There are never relaxed rounds in PJSC, we're always stressed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Artists like Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish and Lorde have also competed before, just because an artist was eligible in the past doesn't mean they are now.
I mean there is a difference between "passed through once, but now wouldn't" and "wouldn't pass, except this time we had different rules" but I concede the point. Generally I want to avoid wasting the panel's time by submitting blatant vetoes, so seeing that Tina had been not-vetoed in multiple contests seemed to suggest she was not necessarily off the table. Anyway have fun y'all!
I only recognise 5 songs before listening, which is very little. Can't wait to check out so much new stuff.
That's fair, but each contest has its own rules and veto system, there are plenty of artists who would pass/have passed in PJ00s and/or PJRetro but wouldn't in PJSC.
I recognize two or three artists on the list, but none of the songs, of course. Also, I have a feeling that will be a diverse round (at least based on the song's titles), so hopefully that's the case.
I see a few of my favourite artists on the list. That's unfortunate, because I really don't want to be too biased.
Babycakes - there is about one week left to vote - get on it everyone! (You too, berserkboi!) My Pandemic Songs from this contest when we were in severe lockdown last year were:
I‘m very busy at work and I believe I have a rate of my own coming up soon so I need to take a break for a while, but.. someone entered with a song from my shortlist which is an easy 12 points, and I just wanted to say if this does not get all the points from everyone I‘ll be very sad and you‘ll be breaking more hearts than mine.
Some vetoes from the round me and @OspreyQueen hosted a while ago (The Karen round) and also some entries that were replaced returned this round to haunt me! Also, one of the entries reminded me of Salt N Pepa's Push It.
