[iheartpoptarts]

Hugs: @cdd216, @Phonetics Girl, @undisco_me

More hugs: @Untouchable Ace, @HarryEzra, @Conan

That's a lot of points to get from not a lot of people, racking up the 12s and stuff, I heart you all!

And I heart you @berserkboi and @undisco_me, thanks and congrats!

(And I'm super super late but I heart everyone for the Paradisio points too!)

 

[Up N Down]

Congrats to @undisco_me but I immediately need to make this about myself because GLAS walked (to a silver) so SCALA could run (to a gold) xoxo



Good to see Igle make it to the top10, thanks especially to @Million_Lights for the 12 and also commiserations for the tiny crown. Your vetoed song definitely bopped more (sounded like it sampled something but I don't think it really did) and you can still submit it to the relaxed round in November!

THANK YOU FOR HOSTING @berserkboi (in case whoever made that confession in PJ00s+ is reading).

 

[undisco_me]

Yay I can go to bed.

Oh and before I do - if anyone wants to do the spreadsheet aspect of hosting (I truly hated it last time) then DM me.

I'd launch tonight, but I think Xtra has a month wait in between or something?

 

[Ana Raquel]

SCALA got points from a whopping 20 out of 24 potential voters!

The top 2 was actually my 11th and 12th places dddddd but it was a strong round so they are basically honourable top 10 songs!!!!

 

[Sprockrooster]

Great hosting @berserkboi and great timing for reminding me to vote...

Congratulations @undisco_me

Thank you everybody voting for the fusion between trance and opera!

 

[BubblegumBoy]

Welp, that was my worst performance (points wise) in Xtra... can't believe I sent French (and a Aussie band at that) and @berserkboi didn't even vote for it ff. Thanks for the points for Telenova, I found it quite random that they released a French version of one of their singles but I'm kinda here for it. I highly recommend their album for those who haven't heard it.

Congratulations @undisco_me and thanks for a great round @berserkboi (I'll forgive you eventually x)

 

[soratami]

Thanks for the points everyone, especially the 12s, congrats for the win @undisco_me and thanks for hosting @berserkboi! Guess Naiv didn't quite get there in the end (I blame the anti-German bias hehe), but a top 5 finish is also very nice.

February being the shortest month of the year and we already being past the halfway point... love how the next round is just around the corner.

 

[Phonetics Girl]

Thanks for the excellent hosting @berserkboi & thanks to all the voters who gave points to King Kamil! I've had Mandala on my potentials for a few years now but at some point we were getting so many The Weekend-esque entries that I kept putting submitting it off due to a bit of a fatigue with this sound. This round I got vetoed with my first choice, so I pulled the trigger cause what the hell. And it actually did better than my average Polish entry, so I got to avoid any regrets!
Congratulations @undisco_me!

 

[Million_Lights]

Ok 2025 is my flop year.



Thanks for the few voters! X

Congrats for winning @undisco_me and thanks for hosting @berserkboi , also for the side game!

And if someone is interested, Shirin David released her album this week.

Thank you @daninternational, @andrew_ @Untouchable Ace and @Sprockrooster! to only get 4 votes and finish 20th! Ill happily take that!

Well done to @undisco_me for winning, was a great song choice, well deserved. Can I say I didn't release Mr Robin Packalen made recent music, the last I heard was Girls Like You so, I am off to do a deep dive of his recent stuff so thank you @Untouchable Ace for the discovery! and I need to hear more of Filip Baloš too so also thank you @iheartpoptarts for the discovery!

Great hosting as per expected @berserkboi, loved the side theme contest, glad I did quite well in it! Till next time.

 

[Million_Lights]

I had this also on shuffle after I finished the album.

Close!! Too bad I won't be adding to my winning language total. Congratulations @undisco_me! My reaction when I heard Snö was, "oh, this is like GLAS - Ögon" -- which was the Swedish song battle winner, so SCALA winning makes sense! (And I am realizing now that those two groups seem to actually be the same people!)

 

[Oleander]

@Slice of Life Look at what they did to our fromis_9 girlies especially after them moving companies and losing almost half of their members. Hopefully they do better in the KSOTY rate.

Jokes aside, I'll happily accept my placement but does this mean I will stop submitting Spanish songs from here on out?

Thank you to everyone who gave fromis_9 points and those of you who gave Belinda points in the side contest, I appreciate it a lot!

Congrats to @TéléDex for winning the side contest and congrats to @undisco_me for winning the main round! Thanks a million to @berserkboi for doing a fabulous job hosting as always! And thank you for creating that side theme and letting me submit a song in Spanish hehe.

Yes definitely.

maybe he should have made a sexy video for maybe future single Punasel. But there’s also this.



@Maki I’m surprised no one guessed my entry as this is the first time I’ve promoted an accompanying album to a song before the WSW list.

Thanks to the voters for my Greek bop, and to our host for hostagement.
I had a theme starting with my entry in Buzzjack's contest late 2024, which then ran through PJSC, PJ00s, Retro and finally Xtra:
JACOTÉNE's Stop Calling, The Darkling's Eat His Heart, Mr. Mobile's Call Me, Sylvie Vartan's Double Exposure, and Evangelia & Marseuax' Alitheia?!

ANYWAY! Great stuff @undisco_me - well done! (which language will be banned next month though...)

"Moi" has been on a couple of playlists of mine for years but I'd sort of never contemplated entering it to a contest until it featured in one of @undisco_me's cinematic PJSC missives recently; glad it went over well!

Congrats to @undisco_me on a very well deserved win and @Derek on the podium again...well, it's a day ending in y after all, bravo to your continued run of excellence! Thanks so much to @berserkboi for hosting and I look forward to the next one.
