Hi.

I did do a quick search but there doesn't really seem to be a place dedicated to just discussing past entries, artists that have been sent, rediscovering forgotten gems (unless i'm being completely blind and silly). Hope this thread is ok with the mods but basically post away anything you're rediscovering or randomly stumbling across in your travels! Be it a single song, EP or whole contest...

Try and include contest number, country behind the song etc if possible too

Posted by: KebabHaus 23rd April 2014, 05:05 PM

I lost ALL bjsc songs from my laptop a few months ago and have just started the task of getting them all back. So i'll be using this thread a lot for updates while i go through the whole year


Have managed to get back the essentials from LI and it's really the best contest i've been involved in. We could bottle the highlights into a compilation album, sell it and make a tonne of money off it, right?


My playlist from it~



Kate Boy - Northern Lights
Autre Ne Veut - Counting
The Irrepressibles - Two Men In Love
The Other Tribe - Skirts
Chloe Howl - Rumour
The Good Natured - 5-HT
Elliphant - Down On Life
Samantha Jade - What You've Done To Me
Miriam Bryant - Push Play
San Cisco - Beach
Roses Gabor - Stars
Goldroom - Sweetness Alive
Woman E - You Stole That Summer
Betty Who - Somebody Loves You
Rachel Zeffira - The Deserters
Willam/Detox/Vicki Vox - Boy Is A Bottom

ALL essential and loads more from it too that i haven't included <3

Before my time in this competition, but Paul Kalkbrenner 'Sky & Sand' has to be one of the most inspired entries I've come across.

Posted by: KebabHaus 23rd April 2014, 05:18 PM

Yes, yes, yes! Absolute beaut

And i forgot to mention the reason i even thought of this thread was because i've been spinning 'It Feels Good To Be Around You' from Skall a lot right now. Love when a song suddenly hits you harder than ever years after hearing it first.

Posted by: BarbaricSissyTIM 23rd April 2014, 05:28 PM

I've recently rediscovered Katie Tiz' Red Cup
Utter tune and I do not regret giving my 12 to that

Posted by: LexC 23rd April 2014, 05:43 PM

Gonna be the only one talking about one of their own songs here but I've been getting back into the pop noir of Mel Jade - Not That Serious these past few days.

Posted by: 🐝〰〰 23rd April 2014, 06:25 PM

still prefer it to most of my own entries

Posted by: ⸘Harve‽ 23rd April 2014, 08:34 PM

HAYYYYY. It took over a year for it to hit me too!

It's not my favourite contest ever, but the best top 3 belongs to LI for sure.

This is something I keep coming back to again and again:



And I'm pleased to see it's now hit 250 000 YT views, because it was devastatingly underrated this time last year.

Oh AND AND this is a good opportunity to revisit this:



Staying tremendous.

Posted by: ✖ leww ✖ 23rd April 2014, 08:48 PM

i always find myself going back to

Taped Rai 'Shadow Of The Sun: Epilogue Pt. I & II'
Ludovico Einaudi 'Experience (Starkey Remix)'
Julianna Barwick 'Pyrrhic'

and then others that weren't a discovery like TyDi / Cyril Hahn etc and then basic everything by N DNTN / Mdice / Skall

Posted by: مدهش* 23rd April 2014, 09:01 PM

I gave this zero in the semi final yet I now think it's one of the best pop songs never to appear on a Marina & The Diamonds album.

Posted by: Cassandra 23rd April 2014, 09:05 PM

god this contest didn't begin in 2012 guys

Posted by: Krusty Wombat 23rd April 2014, 09:10 PM

There are various, but I have found these, after over a year, haven't got old yet:

Dead Can Dance - Opium (didn't even give points to this oop )
Alina Devecerski - Flytta Pa Dej
Wild At Heart - Darling
Chad Valley - Fall 4 U

(and 2012 was the year I joined so I can't really go back much farther )

Posted by: Iz‽ 23rd April 2014, 09:13 PM

Yes. <3 I keep hoping it'll blow up more but I think the last wave of hype has finally died away for it. Haven't listened to it for a few months so I'm sure it'll sound lovely and fresh when I hear it again (I did overplay it quite a lot last year)

I normally DO have an old BJSC song I'm looning over but can't think of any huge rediscoveries I'm having right now. Still have nearly every MP3 since my first contest arranged in a nice smart playlist that I put on some of the time so I'm sure there's something in there. Some classic Caerfyrddia entries like Sing Unto Me from XLVII (awful that it DNQed so anonymously) or Wear It Like A Crown from XXXVIII are entering my mind as I think. I should go back to the 2011/2012 contests more, although there are some entries there that I've played so much I'm not sure if they'd ever be 'new' again.

I absolutely loved that entry, I voted for FSR Rontvia quite a lot back then as far as I know.

I'd love to go back to those times

Posted by: ⸘Harve‽ 24th April 2014, 03:20 AM

Well if we're going that far back, we needn't stay in 2009.



Not overrated.

Posted by: gooddelta 24th April 2014, 07:22 AM

I'd give it my douze points over and over again

Posted by: Iz‽ 24th April 2014, 01:10 PM

I will never stop bemoaning the lack of market for this sort of thing. Launiça were so good (hi Charlie if you're reading).

Never fails to make me feel a little bit more epic when I hear it.

Posted by: Vü‽ker 24th April 2014, 08:11 PM

I'm still sending you the .zip files, give me (just) a little more time!

Posted by: Sibariclas 24th April 2014, 10:07 PM

If you fancy sending that to me I won't complain...

Posted by: Sibariclas 24th April 2014, 10:08 PM

I frequently revisit early gems such as 'Untouched - Smack Me' and anything involving Mira Craig.

Posted by: KebabHaus 24th April 2014, 10:12 PM

Ooh thank you, no worries take your time!

I am currently up to LIV and it's a painful process, but SO worth it when you get to play them all back <3

Posted by: Cassandra 3rd May 2014, 04:48 PM

REVAMP X NOW

Posted by: SavenSeize's Cat 13th November 2014, 12:33 AM

i've been getting into this Batidas gem from April 2013. gives off a really nostalgic feel for me, wish i'd properly loved this earlier!




and also this, from not quite as long ago:



pretty sure it made my points in its contest, but would likely be a lil higher in them now. dance-pop with a good dose of elegance & euphoria

rly i'm sure at least a couple of 2014 entries will grow on me a bit more once i listen back on them fairly soon ~~

Posted by: Nelly. S 13th November 2014, 07:37 PM

A bit more recent from D'yermak'er, Baby Doll

Posted by: Chez Wombat 13th November 2014, 09:39 PM

Talking of D'yermak'er, their entering of Verité reminded me how good Strange Enough was from a few contests back, can't believe I only gave it something like 1-3 points in the final, it's really quite wonderful.

Posted by: مدهش* 13th November 2014, 10:59 PM

Strange Enough is amazing and really should have won.

Posted by: { bré } 13th November 2014, 11:04 PM

'Strange Enough' was a very good song but it never fully clicked with me in the way 'Weekend' now has.

Posted by: HausofKübrick 30th July 2015, 12:51 AM

*cheeky bump*

Because this song has randomly come on shuffle for me a few times in the past few days and it's properly connected with me. Gorgeous entry by Klum Rep in LV ~

Posted by: M¤th 30th July 2015, 10:54 PM

Phoebe Ryan's 'Mine' has really clicked with me as of late.

Posted by: Kl▲mzee 1st August 2015, 01:21 PM

What song is it?? I have no idea what I entered then and the YouTube link is not loading

As for me Eledan's Deepside Deejays - Never Be Alone has been on my playlist recently and is now charting again! Still gutted that it DNQd! Honestly who can resist Celtic dance music?!

Posted by: Riser 1st August 2015, 09:32 PM

Snakehips - On & On

For me it's THIS. My 2nd-fave from Persephonia behind Habib Galbi, and I know I'm alone here but much better than Cry For Freedom:

Posted by: 『bré』 1st August 2015, 09:58 PM

^ Yay for someone other than me appreciating 'Glass Heart'!! I knew it wouldn't do brilliantly - hence why I only sent it when I had an AQ - but I still don't think it quite deserved to be last by a mile :')



Why didn't this smash? (I 'rediscover' this like every couple of months, one of my go to songs when I feel like listening to old BJSC tracks)

Posted by: Cal 1st August 2015, 10:08 PM

ÄLSKLING VI ÄR BÄST DU KAN FRÅGA VEM SOM HELST. Good choice, Bra! xo

Posted by: Gage 1st August 2015, 10:09 PM

Shame the OTHER song Phoebe Ryan was part of isn't growing on you.

Still can't believe you though it was the worst song in the semi final.

Posted by: Gage 1st August 2015, 10:10 PM

Actually, doesn't matter. I'm pissed and thought you were Bre for a second!

Oh god shoot me now.

Posted by: 『bré』 1st August 2015, 10:24 PM

If it makes you feel any better, I still hate that Tritonal song.

Posted by: Gage 1st August 2015, 10:28 PM

No, not better Brayden.

Posted by: 『bré』 2nd August 2015, 12:41 AM

From plug.dj tonight:





These are both INCRED (as well as 'Pacifica' which I sent, the only K&RL song to get through the semis), do not understand the snubbage of both of them.

Posted by: Michael! 4th August 2015, 09:01 PM

H Kamhla.

It shoulda won!!!

Posted by: HausofKübrick 4th August 2015, 09:05 PM

Oops, very late reply but it was 'On & On' as you know now. Enough to even enter my chart last week, i have been playing it so much. Reminds me of the Pandr Eyez song that Skall sent last year which i adored too - delicate, unassuming pop always gets me

Posted by: Cody Scareberry 27th October 2015, 12:27 AM

I feel bad not pointing these songs now:
1.) "Running With The Wolves" - I remember pointing it in the semi-final and I think that's the only song with the word "Wolf" that I didn't point in the final (given the other song was Sumera but whatevs). THEN IT APPEARS ON TEEN WOLF. I just can't win.
2.) "Riyzamin" - another song I wasn't feeling at the time of the contest, but then I listened to it and it sounds straight out of a Cirque Du Soleil show.

Also I think I like "Egeya" more than "(Don't Go) Running" eep.

Posted by: #psychic7 18th January 2016, 01:30 AM

Not sure why I didn't like this more at the time, but it's sounding really good now!

Posted by: HausofKubrick 4th September 2016, 11:49 AM

THIS from Kopečka in LIV



<3

Posted by: Cucumberella 4th September 2016, 01:55 PM

WOW that sounds so good now. i liked it at the time but i can't remember it sounding that good!

Posted by: JosephStyles 4th September 2016, 03:39 PM

This is so underrated, one of my fave BJSC entries for sure

Posted by: gooddelta 4th September 2016, 03:54 PM

Not so much rediscovering as I gave it 15 points as it was, but Lushington's You Got Me Baby has been sounding better than ever to me in the sun recently <3

Posted by: SevenSeize 4th September 2016, 04:00 PM

For a while now this one's been getting to me



pure bliss <3

Posted by: mdh 4th September 2016, 04:07 PM

Blush by TP4Y is the 18 that never was for me - such a brilliant summery track

Posted by: Chez Wombat 4th September 2016, 04:14 PM

<3, poor brave last placers

I'm beginning to regret not giving YDdawns my 18 from two contests ago, like the lovechild of The Human League and Kraftwerk and the lovely Welsh language makes it more unique, amazing

Posted by: JosephStyles 4th September 2016, 09:25 PM

Liam can I just APOLOGISE for not giving this absolute stunner more than 2 points in the contest not sure what went on as I am ALL OVER IT right now, such a fantastic track, can't turn it off

Posted by: *Tim 4th September 2016, 09:27 PM

Coming to slay TBO x

Posted by: Jade 6th September 2016, 01:17 PM

How did I only give this 3 points?! I have rediscovered it today and it's sounding sooooo good.

Posted by: Bré 6th September 2016, 04:57 PM

Turns out this actually DID grow on me loads, just not until after the contest. Absolutely adoreee it now though and not sure why I was so slow with it (sorry Randy).

Posted by: notfurlong 6th September 2016, 05:19 PM

haha that's okay - it grew on me too so I'm not sure why I thought it suitable for a contest that mostly relies on first listens oops

but music discovery is the name of the game so everything worked out and I'm v glad you love it 💖

Posted by: The Codemeister 7th September 2016, 04:46 PM

My god, "Never Let You Go" is still spectacular now like it was back then.

this beauty from séyetana

Posted by: Iz~ 26th September 2016, 09:04 PM

yes! It's rare I find a song like that I like enough to send but when I do it's so satisfying to have it diversifying up my repetoire <3

Posted by: Cameron 29th September 2016, 10:30 PM

This underrated gem

Posted by: gooddelta 3rd October 2016, 06:33 PM

Lost On You by LP, I can't remember if I pointed this or it just missed out but I enjoyed it a bit at the time but love it now.

I am slightly preferring the dance mixes though, which in turn have got me more into the original.

Posted by: danG 3rd October 2016, 07:00 PM

I'm really into Møme 'Aloha' right now, why did we let it finish so low in the final???

Posted by: Bré 3rd October 2016, 07:18 PM

The original original or the live version that was in the contest? I think it's a song that really benefits from the live performance, I only listened to the studio version once but it was much less impactful than the live version.

~

Have recently rediscovered this, one of the few recent Skall entries I wasn't that massive on originally but has clicked much more now:



I've found a fairly similar song to this that I might send to BJSC 90 if I fancy having a certain DNQ

I've also belatedly really developed a taste for both of Tartford's Cigarettes After Sex entries, even though I didn't vote for either of them (although 'Keep On Loving You' wasn't far off my votes).

Posted by: gooddelta 3rd October 2016, 07:26 PM

Both, I suddenly really like all versions of the song! I heard it playing in a restaurant the other day too which seemed odd as it hasn't crossed over here yet.

Posted by: LINDSΞY 3rd October 2016, 10:51 PM

What Taahino song isn't underrated tbh

Posted by: Addy K!ng 4th October 2016, 04:04 AM

As I mentioned on FB, I am delighted that finally this is taking off everywhere...even Billboard gave an article to it.

Posted by: lewistgreen 4th October 2016, 08:18 PM

Didn't point it, barely remember it (and it finished Top 3!), but absolutely loving it right now!

Posted by: Cody Hough 4th October 2016, 11:47 PM

That was in BJSC 82 and I believe you were banned that contest

Posted by: jakewild 5th October 2016, 02:01 PM

you got me baby is one of the few bjsc songs i've gone out of my way to buy to have on my phone. still amazing. same with do it well 🙌🏼

Posted by: dandy* 4th January 2017, 12:16 PM

I've become addicted to T S I E R over the past couple of weeks... and when I checked back, I shamefully didn't point it at all in the contest where Rich entered it. :/

i wonder if vulker had voted if this wouldve been a token synthpop top 5/10

Posted by: Danuary 9th January 2017, 10:50 PM

Atella x Frøder 'Closer To Life' has really grown on me post-contest recently!

Posted by: Mattias 10th January 2017, 10:08 AM

yasss Dan <3 That's a beauty.

The ongoing pop forum contest with a foreign language theme has inspired me to dig out this song from Séyetana in Worldvision II. I never pointed it at the time but I always found there to be something about it despite not really being my "usual thing" or whatever, so I probably should've at least put it in my commiserations soz iz~

Posted by: Izetta 10th January 2017, 12:35 PM

I appreciate this reevaluation (that sort of song is not my usual thing these days too but I also found something about it that led me coming back to it more than I would most) And Flutterwonder appearing for Oliver again is excellent also.

Posted by: Mattias 14th January 2017, 06:03 PM

Øfdream - Thelema is clicking with me right now <3 I found it sort of "flat" in the contest it was in, think it just needed more individual listens.

Posted by: Iz~ 27th February 2017, 11:39 PM

Moral winner of that contest against... whatever beat it.

Out of all my spinoff entries that's easily the one I wished most was a canon main one of mine - and Leww's right at least in that subgenre for all my searching of trashy club-rap-dance I've never found anything that's quite so well put together as that.

Posted by: Harve 28th February 2017, 01:50 PM

I would've won that contest with jj if I voted oops.

You got me onto a Finnish hip hop session last night. Most of it was average at best, but I found an amazing artist who I could see myself sending, thanks!

Posted by: David 12th March 2017, 12:15 PM

Not necessarily a re-discovery, but I've listened to 'Travva' by Jutro quite a bit since the last contest. Always makes me feel as though I'm about to be offered poppers in some dodgy bar down Canal Street.

Posted by: Mattias 14th March 2017, 06:02 PM

EXCUSE ME, why did I not vote for this? Must've been a really strong contest! I think it was, if I remember correctly. Not always my usual thing but there's a subtle difference between this and other such songs that aren't usually "my thing", that distinguishes it for me. ('PreGomesh' was like that too)

Posted by: Oliver 14th March 2017, 11:47 PM

I remember the first time I found out that it was a Pantenne advert and realised that's why there were so many slo-mo hair shots in the video.

Posted by: Jade 19th March 2017, 07:40 PM

Oh my gosh how did I not point this Cadelicia gem?! I blame it on being in Portugal during this contest so I only had one listen through. Absolutely love it now, should've done waaaay better in the final.

Posted by: danG 29th March 2017, 10:32 PM

Drake's collab with Black Coffee (different artist I know but similar name) reminded me of this. Can we crown it winner of Rejects already tbh?

Posted by: gooddelta 29th March 2017, 10:39 PM

Yassss Dan. Same here, first thing I thought of when I heard Get It Together <3

Posted by: Bré 29th March 2017, 10:43 PM

Yeah I definitely did a double take when I first saw Drake's tracklist thinking it was Black Motion featured on 'Get It Together'!

(I'd support that being a Rejects smash. There have already been far too many songs I'd have given very high points to in the final that have DNQed this year though, feeling like a rougher year for some of my faves than 2016 was!)

Posted by: Ryan. 14th April 2017, 01:57 AM

Apparently actual Julia Michaels was the vocalist on this classic Ramrynia BJSC entry (And several other Borgeous singles too)

Posted by: Cucumbruella 14th April 2017, 03:37 AM

invincible is definitely one of my fave rammallamarynias x

Posted by: ♀Cody Viall♀ 14th April 2017, 03:58 AM

I remember Julia was a go to vocalist for many of Spinnin' Records' artists, and I found her through her next Borgeous collaboration "Wildfire"

She sang on a couple of Zedd songs as well!

Posted by: Cucumberella 4th May 2017, 09:35 PM

one of the best things submitted to BJSC EVER ticks all the boxes - alternative dance, a great use of sample and completely ethereal

Posted by: SevenSeize 4th May 2017, 09:48 PM

I'll Be Gone is great *.* (as is "The Hunter" mentioned earlier on)

Really got into this crazy + catchy Espen hit from 2012 recently -

Posted by: Cal 4th May 2017, 10:21 PM

Omg Nordpolen *.* When I peaked tbh.

Posted by: Jade 21st May 2017, 06:14 PM

This Land of DW jam from BJSC 89 sounded incredible by the pool in Spain. Can't believe I didn't point it at the time! Big post-contest grower.

Posted by: Silas 21st May 2017, 06:21 PM

Nordpolen is Espen at their cray cray best

Posted by: JosephStyles🐶 21st May 2017, 06:24 PM

I liked this in the contest but hadn't heard it since until Thursday night when I saw Bebe live, totally forgot how great it was

Posted by: IrnBruzee 21st May 2017, 06:46 PM

woop woop for the I'll Be Gone love Still one of my favourite entries I've sent! Nordpolen was an absolute beast of an entry also

Posted by: Cucumberella 21st May 2017, 06:54 PM

have u heard the Otto Knows remix of this??? one of my songs of that year, STUNNING!!

Posted by: Klumzee 29th July 2017, 07:44 PM

I'm sorting through my mess of last.fm scrobbles and came across this beast of a tune from 3 years ago.



Loved it and pointed it at the time but somehow sounds better today? Criminally underrated entry!

Posted by: shatteredSanity 29th July 2017, 08:04 PM

I think Girls Like Girls was a BJSC entry on here a year or two ago. It came on shuffle a couple of times recently

A few much underrated DNQs that I've recently had stuck in my head a bit after hearing them on me and Jade's Spotify playlists:







And a few artist recycles in the current contest have had me looking back up their older (and better ) entries - Autoheart's 'Agoraphobia', Moxie Raia's 'Dirty Lights', Smallpools' 'Dreaming'

Teen Wolf seems to be really good at poaching BJSC entries, I mean I've managed to rediscover this from last Sunday's episode:

Posted by: mdh 6th September 2017, 08:30 PM

Why didn't I give any points to "Acid Rain" by Lorn in BJSC 89? Absolutely STUNNING song, can't believe just how amazing that contest was - Catey Shaw, Crystal Waters, Cobi, Nadia Tehran, Burak Yeter, Steve James, Jane XO, BLKMGK, Sir The Baptist, and of course Lorn

FM-84s “Arcade Summer” - came on shuffle and just realised it would work really well either soundtracking Final Score (BBC) or the heartwarming Black Mirror episode, San Junipero.

Posted by: Jade 6th September 2017, 09:05 PM

Yessss Doctor Blind! one of the best things I sent last year for sure.

Posted by: 5 Silas Frøkner 15th September 2017, 07:55 AM

Not really rediscovering but I'm stanning so hard for Flj's Dagny entry "Backbeat" right now.


Honestly how 5 Fine Frøkner and Backbeat weren't that months top 2 I'll never know

easyFun's Monopoly is one of the best winners ever

I've just re-discovered https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWQbNb39lgc and don't quite see how I didn't vote for it!

Posted by: cantthinkofaname 9th April 2018, 09:07 AM

I am honestly in shock that 5FF was only 32nd in the final????

Posted by: Bitch 2nd June 2018, 08:40 AM

Hello - Stwfford Brothers

Idek who sent it anymore but thank you to whoever it was, issa bopT

Posted by: Oliver 2nd June 2018, 10:04 AM

I think Jonjo sent that, it was the first contest I qualified for so remember it well!

Posted by: Oliver 2nd June 2018, 10:07 AM

Loving this now, definitely a case of not letting it play all the way through when I heard it during the contest.

Posted by: 5 Silas Frøkner 2nd June 2018, 10:09 AM

You and me both! It's borderline criminal

Posted by: Dobbo 2nd June 2018, 10:11 AM

THIS!




Massively underappreciated this one at the time, I return to it a lot these days.

Posted by: Bré 2nd June 2018, 10:12 AM

Wondering if by this stage Phil has gone on about '5 Fine Frøkner' more than Rich did about 'Spin My World' (at least this is actually a good somg though tbf )

I think everyone just associates it with Skam these days

Posted by: Cameron 14th June 2018, 12:33 PM

how the hell did this not even come top 20.

Posted by: Mattias 31st August 2018, 08:42 AM

I'm like re-discovering my own entries lol. I pretty much haven't listened to 'Pustinja' after the contest it was in, but I had a ~craving~ for it this morning and am now repeat listening to it. Still obsessed lmao. There's something about the intense and lush atmosphere created by the instrumentation in that song that just GETS me. And don't get me started on his voice. And the video is fabulous.

relistening to this bop after finding out about their disbandment this is still among my fave daehun entries EVER and one of the best BJSC entries of 2016, really sucks how much their label gave them the shaft

Posted by: Dobbo. 31st January 2022, 02:40 PM

This recently came up on Shuffle and I'd forgotten this one. Like it more now than back in its contest:

Posted by: ✖ leww ✖ 31st January 2022, 03:44 PM

this again tbh!

I gave it 12 at the time, but right now KlumRep‘s CL entry Inji - Madeline has just re-entered my consciousness today and I’ve been raving away all day

Posted by: Popchartfreak 10th May 2023, 03:27 PM

lately I've pushing some tracks to friends and family - Greta Van Fleet (Heat Above), Lucia & The Big Boys (Perfectly Untrue), Kishi Bashi (Antichrist), Javiera Mena (Otra Era), Woodkid (Run Boy Run) and my current rave Jungle cos I regard them all as nothing less than brilliant and they need to be heard as often as possible by everyone....

Granted, not everyone is as convinced as I am of their merit, but they need to be persuaded...

now why does this remix slap

Posted by: Oliver 8th July 2023, 02:11 PM

Posted by: Danana 8th July 2023, 09:32 PM

this entry from 2020


thanks to this new version which got released on Anjunabeats this week

Posted by: Dobbo 3rd October 2023, 09:58 AM

I find myself coming back to this track a LOT. I know she's had a fair few entries but this is easily the best one:



I had been trying to think of what song it reminded me of (in particular the start of the chorus) and settled on this one, albeit more like a Zedd remix of it:

Posted by: Dobbo 30th October 2023, 03:00 PM

Who remembers/still loves this Tinnmark banger?

Posted by: Cowboy Cody 5th May 2024, 12:23 AM
