♠♦♣♥ PJXTRA XIII: Kissed by Lady Luck ♥♣♦♠ Winner crowned, fortunes read & guesses... guessed

​

Welcome to PJXtra XIII: Kissed by Lady Luck! With this being round thirteen, it seemed fitting that the theme would be luck, and so we'll have two fun side things happening, firstly a two part luck-based guessing game, and secondly, everyone who takes part will receive a tarot reading courtesy of my co-host @Tiger Suit. Hope everyone is feeling lucky.

But first things first I'm the realest, be sure to PM a song that follows the rules below to @soratami and @Tiger Suit:

• is sung in any language other than that of the winning song from the most recent PJXtra contest and features less than 20% approximately of English lyrics.
• hasn’t charted in the top 3 anywhere in the world and isn’t a Eurovision Song Contest entry (non-qualifying national final songs are eligible).
• is performed by an artist with 30 pages or less of dedicated discussion on the Popjustice forum & didn’t participate in the most recent PJXtra competition.
• hasn’t previously been entered into either PJSC, PJ00s or PJXtra.
• if it is a cover version, is subject to certain criteria including if the song being covered is already famous/successful.

Remember that since SUNMI won last round, Korean isn't allowed this round, so I'm afraid the K-Pop fans will have to come up with something else (like K-Pop songs in Japanese).

The dates are as follows:
Entry (& guessing game round one): January 2 - January 9 23:59 GMT
Voting (& guessing game round two): January 10 - February 5 23:59 GMT
Reveals (& tarot readings): February 6

Nonsensical yet topical image!

 

By the way, anyone who doesn't participate in the game (or worse, skips this round) will be cursed with bad luck for the rest of the year. Remember your fate is in @Tiger Suit's hands xx

 

Don't let that stop you, someone's gotta come last after all x (I kid, please do participate!)

I do love the combination of 13 and red....................

 

I was just updating the spreadsheets, and I noticed we received exactly thirteen entries in the thirteen hours since the round opened

 

It's also 13:13 right now here... I swear I'm not doing this on purpose ddd

 

I'm the first to see and like this 13 minutes later.

 

Hello darlings,

As @soratami mentioned, I'll be your oracle for this round - the last couple of years have been wildly unpredictable, so I thought maybe everyone would find a little comfort in having a little look at what the year has in store for them during the reveals.



Or, if you'd prefer, I can do a tree of life reading, which takes ten aspects of your psyche, spanning from spiritual to physical, and gives an insight into where you are, where you've been, and what you can do to create a healthier balance in life.

The choice is yours.

 

I’m having the hardest time trying to figure out how to divide my FL songs between this and PJSC.

 

Yes. Stan LadyLuck!

 

I love me some tarot reading! @Tiger Suit please see my future

 

This is extremely relatable dd. At least sometimes they're only eligible in one of the two contests, for example, a song with over 20% of English lyrics or that was a top 3 hit anywhere only works for PJSC, one by an act with over 10 pages of discussion or by an act that's been in PJSC recently only works for PJXtra.
