Alright my divas! As I have been doing every year (last year's is here) - I'd like to highlight some of my favourite Song Contest Discoveries of the Year as this one draws to a close!
From PJSC - we have @Up N Down with a song I heard once and kinda moved on from, but only paid attention at how much it bopped through the Contest, and subsequent massive play counts as the year continued! It is of course Maltese polyglot queen of Pop Emma Muscat and her incredible Is-It-A-Sample-Is-It-Not-A-Sample banger Lacrime Moët!
Resti il mio fermoimmagine che
Stamperei sull'iride indeed!
From the @Hudvar Super Special Song Contest - @londonrain blew my mind with a discovery that ended up outranking many long term favourites within the contest, and continues to rock my gym playlist!
Talking to the dj, asking him for more and more
Asking him for more and more, asking him for more and more MOI!
Off to PJRetro we go, with newcomer @andrew_ starting his Song Contest career with a berserky 12 thanks to a gorgeously subdued yet delicious chanty ditty, that took me back to the sounds of favourites back in Mauritius while also giving Susumu does World Music!
Last, but certainly not least - we go to PJ00s+! @livefrommelbs heard the rumblings all year round about ABBA throwbacks in PJSC - so what does he do? He puts on his rubber gloves, and fists these comments so deep we end up with the best possible ABBA music 10 years in the past in PJ00s+! An unrelenting yet gorgeously soft piano midtempo that Benny and Björn themselves would have killed for, if they weren't busy rosebudding with the rest of PopJustice as The Storm forced us to crown!
Thank you all for another year of fantastic music, and I look forward to what 2025 has in store!
*It is very likely a handful of songs in the current round of Retro (107) would have been here if I got to know them earlier. Now they'll have to go straight into the All Time Faves List, which includes these:
@TéléDex - Amour Combat, I Can't Sop The Loneliness
@Jeffo - Heartbreak On Vinyl, The Beast In Me
@slaybellz - Hit Pop, Making A Scene
@Disco Blister - Ypofero, Tu T'en Iras, Duri Duri
@WoW73 - Mon Coeur Qui Craque
@chanex - Love In Stereo, Cat In Disguise

It was an absolute pleasure to metaphorically fist you all with My Crown (ouchies). I'm so glad it's ranking amongst your tippity-toppity faves for the year @berserkboi! It's the crowning jewel of my song contest submissions for 2024, without question. What a song.
How have you not bopped to Play The Game Boy since the mid 2010s? How did I even discover it?
I think my favourite song contest discoveries for 2024 were:
PJ Retro: Rumorz' Three Times You're Out (@cdd216)
PJSC: Yola's Future Enemies (@londonrain)
PJ00s+: Gathania's Get It Out (@Hudvar)
PJXtra: Miach's Iluzija (@Million_Lights)
Ahhh, I thought this was old news to you, not a totally new discovery.
Nope, never heard it prior to this round

@londonrain submitting yola makes so much sense! Easily one of my songs of the year!
The youth are discovering one by one a universal pop truth.

I am on five (English, French, Italian, Japanese, Spanish) - would be great if any of us got to 10!
You’ve both won all 4 contests?

Yes. My last one was PJSC - which Annalisa / Italian did for me! À Regina!!!

Does my Africavision win count? I think I'd have six then!
