From what I've seen of them on other sites, they also have a tendency to reduce participation numbers, and have something of a reduction in quality (as people scrabble around to find things they're unfamiliar with).

seems like limiting people to genres is counterintuitive; best songs I've found from Song Contest are songs that I wasn't expecting to enjoy at all but instead enjoyed so much where I looked into the artist and became obsessed and annoyed and angered all those who are close to me

Checking out more clipping and just found out the rapper won a tony for playing Thomas Jefferson in Hamilton and is also a movie/tv actor. He played a guy who was terrible at rapping on Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

It was the other way around for me-- I discovered clipping because the guy was in Hamilton.
Also, I'd participate in this song recommendation cabal, but I personally think that for that purpose, Song Contests serve me just fine.
did another ms user do something lovely? recognize their achievements here!

Is there a list of past songs entered? How are the rules on that enforced if not? If so, where?

I don't know my final ordering yet. I need to listen when I am less picky than I am tonight.

Taiwan
very orange. Revisit later, feels like a song that could grow on me.
USA
yellow grey pink yellow no kiss neck no
Senegal
blue grey brown so lickable voice yes
UK
pastels mostly pink surprisingly yes in spite of the chipmunks
Libya
this video wasn't available in my country but I found a live version. grayish yellow wants to be blue feels like counting crows except I like counting crows. I feel like if I understood the words or if I were in a different part of my life this might be just the thing but I am not really sure what he is saying or if he is saying it on key
Scotland
brownish orange. Could conceivably listen to this song again on purpose
Slovenia
green grey purple good singing voice. Will try to revisit this later when I'm in a redder mood because I want to like this. Edit: some later songs put me in the mood to return to this one and fuck yes.
China
orange and purple and sad and good
cote d'ivoirie
bubblegum pink and fairy floss blue.
Burkina Faso
oh it was red wine and I was in but then it changed and the wine was taken away and it took me a bit to adjust but then I liked it again. I'm gonna check her out later see if there's any more wine. No I listened to it again I could keep listening again yes
Isle of man
grey and my inner teenager liked it even though my outer adult has a headache but oh oh oh
Netherlands
red and blue and pleasing
Iceland
dark purple and bleak and still
Spain
an unpleasant shade of green.
Egypt
so pink it's almost yellow and I kept squeezing my eyes shut
central African Republic
red and brown. I can understand why someone would listen to this voluntarily. It's OK.
Hungary
blue grey purple red a little wine yes
Wales
sound why is sound. Oh hey is that wine or blood? Mmm. What sound why. Why is sound happening. Yellow blood no sound
Latvia
pink and grey. I think I'd like this if "i could be listening to silence instead" were not such a high bar to cross
Ireland
a pleasant greenish grey that I sorta dug it
Greece
brown pink red pink I am sorry I am just really picky right now
Bhutan
grey wine mmm is good

I like it a lot more than I would have expected, like the chipmunks should have been a deal breaker and it's pink and on top of that I am feeling really picky tonight but it's just so perfect the lyrics and her voice.
