The song contest has jumped the shark when Kate Bush is getting the billy.

I like her for the most part, but I can understand why that one got the billy even if I didn't billy it myself.

[TubbsFarquhar]

Should've half-expected that result.

I can't really host this week, so either Loonerty or Hydatina Physis can take the reigns.

UncleImpairedRetina - have you changed your name? with - Stella LaPage - In Milano

Yes I did.

GO STELLA!

Dom DOLLA having a song called "Saving Up" is highly fitting.

 

[Ocha905]

It's weird, how much I like the playlist is usually relative to how well my song is received when it should be the opposite. I thought I should finish bottom 5 this round for instance but top 5 last round and the opposite happened. Anyway.

ACTUAL VOTES -

5: Stella Le Page - "In Milano" Would feature in the top 10 of my Hottest 100 SC Songs if I redid the list. Holy moly.
4: The Spinners - "I'll Be Around"
3: In This Moment - "As Above, So Below"
2: Children Of Bodom - "In Your Face"
1: Manian - "Ravers in the UK"

Dishonourable Mention - Kanye gets the cancelled treatment

Billy: Eric Carmen - "Never Gonna Fall in Love Again" Melodramatic soft rock was never going to cut it in this PL (and I say this thinking my nom should finish bottom 5).

Tried to do a combined fav new-to-me and known songs (with weighting for new songs) for the votes which was hell. Needed making separate lists seen below:

Favourite Known Songs -

5: Kanye West - "All Falls Down"
4: In This Moment - "As Above, So Below"
3: Children Of Bodom - "In Your Face"
2: HAIM - "Now I'm In It"
1: Kate Bush - "Get Out Of My House"

HM's - Beach Fossils (the song I thought about nomming) and Kenya Grace

Favourite new-to-me songs -

5: Stella Le Page - "In Milano"
4: The Spinners - "I'll Be Around"
3: Manian - "Ravers in the UK"
2: Marnik - "Up & Down"
1: Dom Dolla - "Saving Up"

HM's - Too many to name and this has already been a ridiculous exercise.

I love these photo votes format.

That lovely lady has greeted me on smoko the last month or so. Started off bitey when I picked her up, now she greets me. She's also often with a few baby skinks so I'm assuming she laid a clutch around somewhere and appreciates the bugs I leave for her.

[Loonerty]

Hydatina Physis want to host?

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

How many votes did she end up on?

Equal 2nd, so 24.

 

[Hydatina Physis]

I do hope some of you are showing Stella love outside of the SC also. I spoke to her not too long ago and she alluded to the fact that it's not a profitable venture for her (not unusual for smaller artists) but it's a crying shame I reckon.

 

[Hydatina Physis]

Hydatina Physis want to host?

Nah it's all yours or whoever else wants it.

Hmm, I'll do it, even if it will be a slight inconvenience.

Theme suggestions?
