'Twas the night before ASFXMAS, when all through Moopy
Not a creature was stirring, not even Soldi.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that ASFXMAS soon would be there;
The gays were nestled all snug in their beds;
While visions of Kylie danced in their heads.

The wait is almost over. Join me tomorrow evening at the slightly earlier time of 19.30 for the first preview of our entries for ASFXMAS. You will be able to view and hear the first 20 of 40 entries. The YouTube playlist will appear here in the first topic.

 

[COB]

I'm so excited!

 

[rhythmbandit]

Can't wait!

 

[Wir Butter 'ne Tarty]

Expecting the Bedswell Tundra to absolutely smash it.

 

[Poor SertAg (39)]

Expecting the Bedswell Tundra to absolutely smash it.

You have no idea.

 

[Kate]

SCREAM

 

[OutSynk]

A White Christmas:

 

[GALA]

Ultra exciting. The flag GALA was a lovely Christmas-affirming boot up the arse for the formula too!

 

[GALA]

A White Christmas:

It means cocaine, you'll be fine.

 

[Poor SertAg (39)]

Big public thanks to @ZenGiraffe who has been working on the recaps, which are reported to be ready for the shows!

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

Hoping for better songs than the last couple of tournaments.

 

[Poor SertAg (39)]

I genuinely think we peaked in terms of delicious dance pop highs last time.

I am fairly sure RaspberrySwirl will never be pleased, so I hope he hates everything and expresses this through the voting process

 

[Poor SertAg (39)]

Don't forget OPTIONAL DOUBLE VOTING this time!

 

[Rim Soldi Tagi Dim]

He gave me a point once. 2020 peaked for me there and then.

 

[Poor SertAg (39)]

I can't imagine he ever gave me a vote. @BoysForSeles is my go to, to receive votes from. I think I've now had two 12s from him.

I think we peaked at Iguanavision.

 

[Poor SertAg (39)]

I think we peaked at Iguanavision.

At this stage, I struggle to recall what songs were in which show.

Kalavision was the worst for me.

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

Kalavision was the worst for me.

The one that Outsync won, you had Lykke Li... those two and WTG’s song are all in my top 3 overall ASFM songs I think.

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

Kalavision and the covers one were the worst, I think.

 

[Poor SertAg (39)]

The one that Outsync won, you had Lykke Li... those two and WTG’s song are all in my top 3 overall ASFM songs I think.

Ah yes. Glad you liked Licky. Coming 11th still stings way more than my other flops.

I think we definitely need some kind of AllStars in the spring.

 

[Rim Soldi Tagi Dim]

Oh I thought Kalavision was the best!

I still listen to the likes of Lovenight, Sevda, the Turkish and Esthonian songs (whatever they were called ) and I DISCOVERED A-WA and Angelè from it too

Having it go on for months genuinely helped!

 

[Poor SertAg (39)]

Undercover had some rough moments, but there were quite a few treats. I still have Fun and Mugatu's winner on rotation.

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

Ah yes. Glad you liked Licky. Coming 11th still stings way more than my other flops.

I think we definitely need some kind of AllStars in the spring.

At least we need a top 10 end of year ASFM personal charts.

It's rare I prefer a collection of non English songs, to a collection of English songs. I'm not against some German shlager, French ballads or Mediterranean bangers but there was a lot of stuff I just wasn't into.

 

[Poor SertAg (39)]

At least we need a top 10 end of year ASFM personal charts.

That's just the ticket!

 

[BoysForSeles]

I lost complete interest in the Kala one and is the only one I didn’t vote in during the lockdown era. I’ll need to read the rules to figure out what double voting is.

 

[Poor SertAg (39)]

I lost complete interest in the Kala one and the covers one was well run but didn’t excite me too much. I’ll need to read the rules to figure out what double voting is.

Everyone MUST vote in the regular 1-12 style voting. There is the also the option to rate all the songs out of 10, which will be added collectively at the end of the regular vote reveal.

 

[win_the_game]

Heart of Mine (Sunchyme but horror)?

Between that, Todeloo, Echoes and Sparkling Rain, I think I’ve entered a strong bunch of songs any yet I’ve only made the top ten once.

So much POLITICAL VOTING going on in this competition. I blame the basic bottom block vote.

 

[Wir Butter 'ne Tarty]

Well, I didn't realise how much you all HATED Undercover and would welcome my violent death.

 

[COB]

I'm fingering myself for the win this time :emoji_santa:

 

[Poor SertAg (39)]

Well, I didn't realise how much you all HATED Undercover and would welcome my violent death.

Not in the slightest, it was great fun!

 

[Poor SertAg (39)]

MY GOD I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE SONGS!

 

[Poor SertAg (39)]

Hosts can't control the songs. Its never on them!

 

[GALA]

Oh no she di'n't

 

[Poor SertAg (39)]

Honestly you guys have no idea what's coming. The word 'choices' is going to be redefined.

 

[OutSynk]

The one that Outsync won, you had Lykke Li... those two and WTG’s song are all in my top 3 overall ASFM songs I think.

I plan on winning again next year. #makeasfmgreatagain

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

I’m confident I’ll win this one.

 

[win_the_game]

Honestly you guys have no idea what's coming. The word 'choices' is going to be redefined.

Colour me intrigued. The live song reviews tomorrow and Friday are going to be an EVENT for sure.

 

[Baby LaZenne]

The recaps are finished. Just need to do a proof read, but will still make an inevitable mistake that I am sure will be quickly pointed out.

And, having heard the songs, some of y'all are HATEFUL.
