∞ BJSC 125 FINALE RESULTS ∞
Bonsoir, fellow hags! It's been an exciting contest, and now, after weeks of prep and counting, the votes are in and a winner has been recorded for this 125th BJSC contest!
We'll be starting off that countdown from about 7pm TONIGHT, so be here or be turned into toads! We're cooking up a good old fashioned countdown and reveals thread, what is unseen will become seen, and what is unknown will become known!
In contrast to the semis which were dominated by one or two songs, this final was pretty spread out, so it's really anyone's game! All of your predictions were terrible. Clearly none of you have the Inner Eye needed...
Sadly, several nations didn't end up voting this time. Those nations are: Buzzjack Mountain, Frandoot, Varake and Kingdom of Horanius. You were warned, my dears! Otherwise, all nations voted and there were no deductions applied.
With that out of the way, we will begin our reveals in just a few short hours. In the meantime, feel free to put on your pointed hats and begin casting spells for hype and excitement. For tonight, we shall crown...a new Supreme Nation!

Really excited for this hoping I don't flop as hard as the odds would suggest

Oooooh does that mean some of my favourites would finish high this time?
Posted by: ChromAddy!ca 27th June 2020, 03:16 PM
Oh no
Luke and Snake could possibly been Dr. Dick fans
Posted by: Rob S 27th June 2020, 03:17 PM
Fully expecting bottom 10 but hoping to avoid it. A top 30 finish with a position I haven't landed in before would be good!
Should be exciting results nonetheless!
Posted by: gooddelta 27th June 2020, 03:59 PM
I forgot to do full odds but I won’t bother as they would have been quite similar to Leww’s save for a few countries.
But I’m definitely here for an open and unpredictable final! I’d still put the big money on either Hendinia or Jupiterdonia for the win but not so sure now if the predictions have been off!
Posted by: Bré 27th June 2020, 04:29 PM
Hiipe ~
Burial got a top 10 hit before so here's hoping there is some appetite for knockoff Burial as well xx
I wouldn't mind if predictions have been way off as most of the songs predicted to do well are not exactly my favourites
Posted by: Chez Wombat 27th June 2020, 04:35 PM
I have no expectations here, I never expected to even get to the final, top 30 would be an achievement. Here for a potentially surprising results show though (I hope that favours me )
Posted by: Klumzee 27th June 2020, 04:49 PM
I'm hoping for a top 10 this time around. Volcano seems to have received the best reception of any of my entries this year and I'm loving it myself! Hopefully it can crossover from the pop votes to a wider audience.
I'm also excited to see what results with Jupiter look like! I'm ready to be a boss witch
Posted by: LexC 27th June 2020, 05:23 PM
Got absolutely no basis on which to make a prediction for how well I'll do but the track seemed to have a good reaction from people outside of the usual New Lexico supporters so that's something! Learnt the hard way last month to not have too high expectations (still only 95% over it, gimme a lil more time gals) so I'm just here for the ride at this point.
My prediction for the winner is Ultraviolenceland (sorry Sam!)
Posted by: Codeiric Diary 27th June 2020, 05:24 PM
UV i think is my tip for the win too but i really like a lot of the contenders best of luck folks!!!
Posted by: Jack 27th June 2020, 05:38 PM
Josslyn coming to slay your faves
Posted by: dandy* 27th June 2020, 05:44 PM
No idea what to expect from these results but I hope my top pointers goes on to do very well

We'll be scoreboarding every four countries. Obv if someone wants to figure-check as we go along that's grand, although I did actually use excel formulas to do the counting so we should be pretty solid :')

Oh 7pm came quickly! More excited to update my voting stats than to see who actually won oops.

After the first set of scores, not all countries off the mark...will this finally be the first contest with a nil pointer?
Otherwise, it's a slow start for hotly tipped favourites from the likes of Hendinia, Jupiterdonia and Aeroche!

I think it looks like it's alternating between early voters and late voters (or it may just be random idk xx)

And nextly to FSR Rontvia and R. Adonia for their scores to bring up our second scoreboard of the evening:
FSR Rontvia
QUOTE
Good evening Jupiterdonia, this is Ricardo Delta calling with the results of this month's Rontvian televote. Many thanks for a magical contest, the majority of the nation's favourites made it this far, making it one of the highest quality finals we can remember. We'll start with three commiserations for countries whose songs we dearly loved but sadly didn't quite have the space to include; Ultraviolenceland, Dobago and Danæviia.
And now, without further ado, here are our votes:
18 Points: Hendinia ♢ Noonie Bao – Pyramids 15 Points: Aelandor ♢ GoodLuck – Hop On Hop Off 13 Points: Cadelicia ♢ Offer Nissim – Better Man (feat. Meital De Razon & Riki Ben Ari) 12 Points: Aeroche ♢ Mecha Maiko – Phones 11 Points: East Rukahavian ♢ Gabry Ponte & Jerome – Lonely 10 Points: Greenfroze ♢ Little Green Cars – My Love Took Me Down To The River To Silence Me 9 Points: St. Burbia ♢ Kelli-Leigh – Cotton Clouds 8 Points: Rolloland ♢ HAARM – Better Friend 7 Points: Wholune ♢ The Strike – Nothing New 6 Points: Altyr Muunilinst ♢ Nova Miller – Mi Amor 5 Points: United States of Jack ♢ Olivia O'Brien – Josslyn 4 Points: Harmonica ♢ Overcoats – Fire & Fury 3 Points: Scherzland ♢ ELBA – 700 Angels 2 Points: Jupiterdonia ♢ FM-84 – Bend & Break (feat. Ollie Wride) 1 Point: Summericia ♢ CHROM – The Start Of Something New
This concludes the Rontvian voting. Thank you and goodnight!

Everyone now off the mark oops. The host currently a little higher than at this stage last contest, but not quite as predicted in the odds thread thus far! Hendinia see the predicted rise with East Rukhavian and FSR Rontvia on their tail while USOJ hold the pinnacle position. The hotly tipped UVLand is still nowhere to be seen at the top end of the voting.

As to the voting order, we're roughly following the order of acts in semi 1 and semi 2 because that was the easiest way to do it on the spreadsheet with the least rejigging needed! Technically that is random since that was randomized at the start before we launched those threads

So glad to have given Kluminican Republic an 18 after all the points they’ve given us over the years which haven’t been reciprocated as much as I’d like. Volcano

Technically technically though that still wasn't really randomised much because the songs in the semis were left in the order they were confirmed (that does make sense tho xx)

Will be interesting to see if semi 2 tracks start rising up the rankings in the second half!
I think I'm slightly more likely to vote for a track that belonged to the same semi as me. You get more time to get to know a track and once a track is in my votes, I'm sometimes reluctant to push it down in favour of newcomers. But I try to recognise and overcome my biases.
Posted by: Riser 27th June 2020, 06:31 PM
Was hoping for a better start than this, argh. Appreciating the 5 from TARO Bellamia and 4 from Rontvia so far!
My 18's doing alright but the rest of my top 3 could use a boost

I'd forgotten about that inequality! I'd guess you would still be #1 in my overall voting history - or perhaps FSR Rontvia or Aeroche? I will gladly accept them.

USOJ's grip on #1 lowers to two points as the not-highly-predicted FSR Rontvia rises to stealing distance. FARC complete the top 3, while Flynnonda muscle convincingly into the top 5. The host remains in the bottom 10 with the other AQ in the bottom 5!
Thirteen leaderboards to go. We may not have been strictly honest about exactly the format of leaderboard reveals we promised...

Peek behind the curtain: As I say this was an extraordinarily spread out contest, with 15 tracks scoring over 200 and more than 25 tracks clearing 150! Sharp contrast to the last edition!

I see it as a contest with wider appeal of tracks if several have shared top points
Posted by: gooddelta 27th June 2020, 07:01 PM
I think a low scoring contest always shows depth and high quality in the whole field of the entries, rather than just a couple of songs at the top. It really was such a good final for me, and I could have voted for another 10 songs.

QUOTE
Hello, it's Summericia here to praise how amazing this contest has been from a super super strong Semi to an thoroughly enjoyable Final. It's really hard to order our votes this month as he quality was through the roof. There is a HUUGE amount of songs that miss out as well but most importantly here's the 15 songs we loved the most....
+18 Hendinia (returning the favour from Jan with the 18... but seriously this is an absolute epic pop track that is so deserving of being the potential winner!)
Persephonia, Ojnoj, FSR Rontvia, Vülkyria, Kluminican Republic, Singerpurear, Jadakissnia, USOJ, Oslol, Daehun, East Rukahavian, Tartford and about 5 more or so... nearly the whole lot!!
With all that said we say goodnight, may the songs we loved do as well as possible!

Persephonia
QUOTE
here are the votes from Persephonia ~
Truly we never thought the day would come but here it is, receiving top points from us for the first time ever, our 18 goes to the deadmau5-y Lebanese bop from New Lexico. This is our first points of any kind awarded to New Lexico since IZA in BJSC 104 (incidentally the last time they auto-qualified), and beats their previous high of 11 points from us in BJSC 82 with Sofi De La Torre. It is the third time New Lexico have been in our medal positions, previously peaking in 2nd place (10 points) with Bright Light Bright Light in BJSC 36 back when they were still known as Allecian, with the second being in BJSC 42, so they have had to wait over eight years to reach our top 3 again. Completing a fresh top 2 countries-wise, Suedeonia also receive their highest points from us to date, with 15 points going to their afrobeat banger marking the first time they have ever made our medal positions (their previous best was 10 points for both Where's The Beach in BJSC 86 and Superwalkers in BJSC 89). It's not all change in our votes though as our 13 goes to Jadakissnia, which means they have got an 18, a 15 and a 13 (and a 12 for that matter) from us this year alone already. Their latest medal position, for a breezy dnb bop which reminds us a lot of classique Jadakissnia entry 'Virtual Paradise', is their landmark 20th medal position from us in total (6 18s, 7 15s and 7 13s).
Summericia fall just short of our top 3 but 12 points to them is the highest we've given to them since our 15 to CRIM3S in BJSC 91. Greenfroze make a rare appearance in our votes at the 8 point slot, only the 7th time we've voted for them, the last being their winner from SOFI TUKKER in BJSC 115. 6 points for Wholune is the second most we've given them (behind the 12 points to The Band CAMINO in BJSC 118). The other auto-qualifier from our hosts Jupiterdonia sneaks into our votes with 3 points, and finally of note Caerfyrddia pick up 1 point, the first time they have been in our votes since BJSC 100 (though that was also the last final they appeared in at all so ~)
Full votes:
18 New Lexico // Myriam Fares - Aman 15 Suedeonia // Georgia, Mahotella Queens, Otim Alpha and Nick Zinner - City In Lights 13 Jadakissnia // BETHY - UTOPIA!
12 Summericia // CHROM - The Start Of Something New 11 Rolloland // HAARM - Better Friend 10 Thelonia // BRONSON - HEART ATTACK (feat. lau.ra) 9 Danæviia // Boris Brejcha - Gravity (feat.

Hi guys, I'm China Anne McClain, and you might know me currently from the Descendants movies and as Jennifer Pierce in the new Arrowverse TV show Black Lightning. It's always fun to serve up a little thunder (even though I play Lightning), so right now it's time to reveal which songs really sparked up the competition.
(As much as it pains us to not give these guys points because their songs were also really good, small commiserations to (in ranking order): St. Burbia, Danaeviia, Cadelicia, New Lexico, Hendinia, POPHub, Hushkanukia & Ojnoj)
18 POINTS | Anamanaguchi & HANA – On My Own [Republic Of Adonia] 15 POINTS | Mecha Maiko – Phones [Aeroche] 13 POINTS | Apink – Dumhdurum [Daehun]
12 POINTS | Hayley Ross – Come Back (N-Joi Remix) [FSR Rontvia] 11 POINTS | Olivia O'Brien – Josslyn [United States Of Jack] 10 POINTS | HARLOE – One More Chance (Latroit Remix) [Tartford] 09 POINTS | Nova Miller – Mi Amor [Altyr Muunilinst] 08 POINTS | BRONSON f/lau.ra – HEART ATTACK [Thelonia] 07 POINTS | The Strike – Nothing New [Wholune] 06 POINTS | Gabry Ponte & Jerome – Lonely [East Rukahavian] 05 POINTS | joan – love me better [Flynnonda] 04 POINTS | FM-84 f/Ollie Wride – Bend & Break [Jupiterdonia] 03 POINTS | WEISS – First Sight [Vülkyria] 02 POINTS | Izzy Bizu – Faded [Ultraviolenceland] 01 POINTS | Full Tac f/Lil Mariko – Where's My Juul?? [Aesthetica]
That "where's my juul" song is the most bizarre thing ever but it works as a meme, and it's probably gonna be one of the biggest memes in the country. Don't get it twisted though: we still don't condone juuling since it's marketed as an alternative to smoking. The more you know.
That's gonna do it for me, but before I sign off... what's my name?
That's what I thought. Have a great rest of your night!

Good evening, Singerpurear here with a thank you to Jupiterdonia for a great competition and hosting. So many countries almost got points, but among those cruelly denied were Altyr, Suedonia, New Lexico, St Burbia, FSR and many more. Thank you to all those voting the timeless Sam Cooke through, and we also spotted the fab David Grant circa 1983 in one of these pointed songs:
1 point: Tartford ♢ HARLOE – One More Chance (Latroit Remix) 2 points: Ojnoj ♢ All The Damn Vampires – Saturday (feat. Michelle Bensimon) 3 points: Oslol ♢ SKAAR – Quiet 4 points: POPHub ♢ Evangelia – Páme Páme 5 points: Thelonia ♢ BRONSON – HEART ATTACK (feat. lau.ra) 6 points: Rolloland ♢ HAARM – Better Friend 7 points: Summericia ♢ CHROM – The Start Of Something New 8 points: Hushkanukia ♢ Call Me Loop – Strike 9 points: Vülkyria ♢ WEISS – First Sight 10 points: Cadelicia ♢ Offer Nissim – Better Man (feat. Meital De Razon & Riki Ben Ari) 11 points: Hendinia ♢ Noonie Bao – Pyramids 12 points: Ultraviolenceland ♢ Izzy Bizu – Faded
and the medals go to: 13 points: Ramrynia ♢ Four Of Diamonds & Mr Eazi – The Writer
15 points: Harmonica ♢ Overcoats – Fire & Fury
18 points: FARC ♢ REYKO – Spinning Over You
Good luck all, and good evening!

Interesting that with the votes being done by semi, so far the songs at the top are largely from Semi 1 and the ones at the bottom largely from Semi 2. I think that's certainly logical for it to be like that at the bottom, but less so at the top.

No change at the top. 12 countries have now crossed 100 points. The host still remains outside the top 20. Early leader Josslyn fails to make it back into the top 10 this time.

I didn't notice that, but that's exactly the kind of thing I find fascinating! Not me accidentally opening up an avenue of research while doing the results :')

Thanks Dandy *.* up to the top 35 now hoping the second half will go better but thinking I probably peaked with the Persephonian votes.
Peek behind the curtain: The final scoreboards for this final will be the votes of the AQs, myself, and New Lexico.

Posted by: gooddelta 27th June 2020, 08:12 PM
I noticed most of my votes were from Semi 1, but I listen to all of the songs together in the semis so there’s no particular reason that that should be the case other than me thinking it was a stronger semi.
But it is indeed very encouraging for Aeroche, FARC and Altyr to have done that well just from Semi 1 voters, many of whom will have already established their own big favourites if they haven’t listened to all of the songs in the first week.

I only got final points from 8 people who were in semi 1 but quite a few of those were double figures so definitely seems like one that scraped through from a small handful of big fans as I was suspecting

1 Hendinia // Noonie Bao - Pyramids 2 Flynnonda // joan - love me better 3 FSR Rontvia // Hayley Ross - Come Back (N-Joi Remix) 4 Republic of Adonia // Anamanaguchi and HANA - On My Own 5 Rolloland // HAARM - Better Friend 6 Wholune // The Strike - Nothing New 7 Singerpurear // Sam Cooke - A Change Is Gonna Come 8 Thelonia // BRONSON - HEART ATTACK (feat. lau.ra) 9 Greenfroze // Little Green Cars - My Love Took Me Down To The River To Silence Me 10 Harmonica // Overcoats - Fire & Fury 11 Daehun // Apink - Dumhdurum 12 Cor Lupus // ARES - Burn 13 POPHub // Evangelia - Páme Páme 14 Ramrynia // Four Of Diamonds and Mr Eazi - The Writer 15 Summericia // CHROM - The Start Of Something New 16 Persephonia // Vacant - Hidden 17 Tartford // HARLOE - One More Chance (Latroit Remix) 18 Cadelicia // Offer Nissim - Better Man (feat. Meital De Razon and Riki Ben Ari) 19 St. Burbia // Kelli-Leigh - Cotton Clouds 20 Aelandor // GoodLuck - Hop On Hop Off
Now who's spoiling things!

Thanks Phil! <3 Expected you to be a fan of Aelandor, it so reminded me of Caro Emerald's debut album.

Pretty amazed that it looks like Cadelicia just scraped into the final like that, it sounded so big to me.

Around 78% of my points have been in the 1 to 7 region oops could really use some more big fans.

big yes for a Jadakissnia 18! a Thelonia 13 is great to see too, thanks both.
if I can keep avoiding the bottom five then that'd be great.

Dobago and Aelandor remain way too low Particularly the former, can't believe I've given it almost half its points!

It's obviously not exact, there are quite a few other variables (not least the completely different voting systems), it's merely research x
Posted by: Oricon 27th June 2020, 08:24 PM
THREE 18, one 15 and one 13 so far .
Thank you all who’s voted for my entry so far! I do think most of my support would be from Semi 1 though so watch me crash and burn oops

Hendinia and Altyr hold tight to #1 and #2 now, but Flynnonda is pushed out of top 3 by a rising Aeroche and the return of FARC and FSR Rontvia. UVLand hits the top 10. Klum Rep finally escapes the bottom 3 thanks to an 18 from Aeroche.

This isn't really something I've thought about before but I am highly tempted to do a bit of number crunching after these results are over to see if this is something that's consistently the case. xx
(It would make sense in fairness! But also a good reason to advocate for listening to both semis during the semi-final stage, as I always do)

Good evening, I hope all you mindless drones are enjoying your hyper-commercialised, conformist slog of a song contest you are of course lapping up, it all looks as it should. Don't you know consuming doesn't make you exist? It's a fitting theme this month as you're all in need of courage, hearts and brains! We are thankfully now above such things, ADULT. has shown us the light

I mean given I mainly only have time to listen to my own semi, I certainly find that hearing a song twice can help it grow on you more.

Pas de change at the top, except that UVLand continue a meteoric rise into a threat position, now entering the top 5 only a few votes after languishing outside the top 20. Jupiterdonia finally enter the top half of the rankings - a far cry from our predicted odds-on victory!

This massive rise for 'Faded' since the halfway mark is probably the clearest evidence so far of people being biased to songs from their own semi (Altyr also emerging as a clear contender)
Only just noticed I am in the top 20 now, I am barely paying attention to these scoreboards, too distracted by speculating about that. What did you start Harve xx

Not so astonished at Aelandor, as I suspect scat is possibly a bad luck charm on Buzzjack, still haunted by Electro Velvet, but it deserves so much more than second last.

Only just noticed I am in the top 20 now, I am barely paying attention to these scoreboards, too distracted by speculating about that. What did you start Harve xx
I'm lowkey surprised you've only just looked at this now!
The one thing I want to know that sadly isn't measurable is to what extent songs perform better or worse depending on which country name is attached to them. Like a lot of Skall tracks would be flopping regardless and this comes from a place of curiosity and not bitterness but I'm convinced that some would have done marginally better if they were sent by Aeroche as success begets success.
Posted by: Harve 27th June 2020, 09:33 PM

In 2010 we had an edition of the contest with the country names removed and it was mostly still the usual suspects (of that era) finishing the highest.

Make that 4 15s now! Thank you Harve (you were one of the few I was counting on to hopefully be a big fan but I find your taste one of the most unpredictable in this contest with regards to my entries so never taken for granted!)
Thanks Dexton as well! Hopefully in good standing to maybe get another top 20 here.

I vaguely remember that! I found the contest as a whole way more predictable then though. Like Mdice just sent the latest pop-friendly blog-pushed track - and there only seemed to be a limited number of standouts per month - and you knew where it was gonna finish.

And finally Lotunia and Dobago for our second-to-penultimate scoreset of the night.
I should take this time to say, this has been a blast, despite the ridiculous amount of prep it took!

Also, thank god you didn't all send your votes in the above format! Nightmare to parse :')
Persephonia finally get an 18 in the last four-set of votes, while Lotunia boost Daehun and UVLand back into threat position. So what does that do to the scores? Scoreboard incoming...
Posted by: gooddelta 27th June 2020, 09:42 PM
It's also interesting though that there are some long established countries who have never received points from another, or just a tiny handful over a long period (maybe Bre can produce a list at some point). So you do wonder if anonymising things would end such droughts.
Then again, it's possibly just coincidence in a lot of cases. I was amazed to find myself pointing Jayrusalem for the first time the other month, but they'd often either fallen just outside my votes or missed the final when I'd loved their entries.

A lot of the alternative-ish entries (read: Persephonia entries) I either adore or find them fine but have no desire to listen to again, even tho on paper I should love them all! Apologies for the fickleness.

Posted by: J00psyMethyd 27th June 2020, 09:44 PM
In terms of the discussion about voting, I rarely look at country names unless to remark 'oh, that doesn't sound like their usual thing!' There are so many countries that I regularly forget who is who unless the name makes it obvious.
As for name recognition, I'm not sure what my last two results say about me, especially with the across the board winner predictions and promo from AQing this one!

I'll happily take either of the top two but it's gotta be Ultraviolenceland I reckon.
Posted by: Klumzee 27th June 2020, 09:45 PM
Out of those three contenders I think I'd like Ultra to come out on top? All are very good though so don't mind either way. No shade intended but I'm a bit confused how Hushkanukia is all the way up in 5th? The track didn't leave much impression on me in comparison to the rest of the top 10.

As I have been expecting all along I'm not a big fan of any of the songs near the top but 'Faded' is the best of that top 3 by some distance - lowkey want Hendinia to win though just because Rob was a delightful host last time xx

Nova Miller ended the contest with 5 18s, the highest number of any entrant. It wasn't my 12 in its semi, but it proved to be a grower throughout the month!
Posted by: Jade 27th June 2020, 10:21 PM
It's taken over 5 years but I've finally got my first bottom 5 finish in the final! top of the flops era incoming x (...hopefully not though as I want to come back with a BANG next time with something that sounds classic Jadakissnia, aka dark and synthy) - well, at least it's a unique position! Mostly just glad that I qualified so I can keep up my long streak. Getting 2 medal positions was nice to see as well.
Congrats Altyr Muunilinst *.* didn't vote for 'Mi Amor' in this bloodbath of a final, but it was pretty good.
Thanks for doing this Jupiter, you've been fantastic!
Edit: WAIT ties aren't split so I narrowly avoided the bottom 5 actually maybe one day *_* 37th still a unique position though woooo

I have the full ranking of entrants split by 18s, 15s, and 13s, so final positions may vary slightly from the automatic numbering they have here in case of ties. Yay for being a spreadsheet goblin :')

Small health warning: I've checked my scoreboard and I have a different (slightly higher) total for Aeroche. Top 3 is all the same though so we shouldn't be in danger of me having to be like 'actually the winner is wrong' xx but I will double check everything at the end as usual
This was my only difference from Jupiter's scoreboard in the end (bar tiebreaks) so I think Jupiter's spreadsheet just had an 11 pointer to Aeroche go awry somewhere - doesn't affect their position!

Congrats John! Not a bad winner, I guess, it grew on me on second listen and has an iconically terrible music video. What a photo finish that was! Poor Faded tho D:
Did I win that tiebreak and miss the bottom 5? (Edit: lol nope) I guess I can't say I'm too surprised , like I said, I'm more just relieved to be in the final, I found picking an entry quite tough as I've been quite into listening to older music cos of my albums project, but I am glad I sent this one and it was a pleasing curveball of a qualifier and I'm pleased some made a good discovery out of it.
Very pleased for Ojnoj and Rolloland in the top 10, Suedeonia so close too! Danaeviia wayyy too low though, that was one of their best entries :'(
Thanks for hosting Jupiter, you have truly earned the best wish you can offer from that, safe travels back to Kansas x
Posted by: gooddelta 27th June 2020, 10:29 PM
Surprising (but very good) winner, though it was always going to be somewhere in the mix, so the five 18s certainly solidifed its cause. A great pop song will usally find a way through.
I'm very happy and quite surprised with 6th place, I thought it would do pretty well but still expected about 5-10 places lower. It continues what feels like a solid year for us so far (not sure where we'd be in the YTD, but I guess maybe top 10?). It really caught my ear on the first listen with that throwback production and I'm glad it found a lot of big fans. It's the fifth time we've finished in that position overall.
Hendinia's entry is, again, wonderful. My second favourite of the year only after their own Goliath. And would have been a fantastic winner but third is a very solid result for it. And well done to Sam in second too, Faded would have been my 1 pointer if I'd been in that semi and was 16th in my final votes. I was tussling over whether to give it 1 point in the final, but luckily that wouldn't have changed the outcome so I'm not feeling too guilty.
Thanks a lot for a really fun and solid hosting Jupiter, really enjoyed the whole contest, fantastic quality, a lot of great discoveries and a great finish to boot.

Wow!! This is a really good winner! I kinda keep my liking of Mi Amor pretty lowkey but this sounds exceptional and I'm in awe how the song mixes emotions and catchiness pretty well! This is also the first time the winner of BJSC actually made an appearance in my chart, and with this week's ranking at 63, higher than last week (and especially this week's has been one of the most competitive top 50s I've ever had), it might even be the first entry to make an entry to top 50!
Kudos to everyone for the songs this edition as there are many records broken for me and my chart as well. Thanks a lot for the shoutout from POPHub and Pame Pame actually attained a peak of no. 6 in my chart, highest so far for a BJSC entry since I started joining in BJSC 123! This is absolutely amazing and catchy and it is underrated after finishing at 29th place here. My second shoutout and commiserations to Holland Oats for their amazing Someone Else. Surprisingly, I have this song playing a lot over the last week and it did grow on me much more than their last run in my chart -- now at no. 12 aiming for the top 10. Maybe this edition will be the first time there are two top 10 entries?
Anyways, lots and lots of great stuff and discoveries in this edition and I hope the next edition is going to be even stronger!!
Also thanks Cody for the shoutout and the heart!! <3 <3 <3
EDIT: AND last but not least, lest I leave it out unintentionally, thanks for Jupiter for hosting and have a good night and break!

So do these results mean that if John passes on hosting it goes to Rolloland? (Or will Ojnoj get the chance since they passed when they won - or did they, I can't remember)?
Yeah Jonjo did pass when he had the hosting rights before so it would go to him first if John passes (as the succession is based on which countries have never hosted rather than which have never won).
~
Well congrats to John on dark horsing to a win at the last second, an exciting finale there, whew. I wasn't invested at all in any of the songs contending but 'Mi Amor' was decent, there have certainly been worse winners!
Did not vote for a single one of the top 8 in the end, I feel like that might be a record for me (think I remember a time where I didn't vote for any of the top 6 off the top of my head but I'd need to do some digging to see if there's ever been any more than that). FSR and Ojnoj were both at least commiserations though and the final 2 songs in the top 10 both got double figure points from me to make up for it a bit - great to see HAARM giving Rollo a rare top 10 (only the 2nd ever!) and BRONSON giving Thelonia a strong bounce back from DNQing the last couple of contests! <3 Shame that Suedeonia fell just short of the top 10 in the end, that was a brilliant discovery. Happy with Wholune, Rep of Adonia and Summericia all being top 20 too and a decent result relative to the odds for Greenfroze. 24th for 'Aman' is an ok result after it was floundering for so long near the start but still deserved much better! Back to hating New Lexico now though. xx Biggest disappointments here are BETHY being paid absolute dust (where did y'all's Jadakissnia taste go ) and another undeservedly low finish for Dobago, seems very bittersweet when FARC recycled Dobbo's PFSC entry and did wayyyy better with it this time...!
Very happy with getting a top 20 finish myself, three in a row and 4/5 in the year to date, hooray. Very polarising entry clearly, finishing with 12 out of 17 votes being 10+ points! I think my theory that semi 2 was better for my song is definitely at least partly vindicated although across both semis it was just a small handful of people giving it high points and little else really (and I see I was a little more comfortable qualifying than I thought). 17th though... that was already my most common final position and now is even moreso, this is the lucky 7th time!

Oh didn't see that winner coming. Thought Hendinia would be a secure winner. Nova was okay so not a bad winner.
Pleased for Rolloland, Rontvia, Thelonia and Aeroche being top 10 and liked Ojnoj too even though it just missed my votes.
Flynnonda did very well, shame they didn't hold top 10 though. Harmonica though what happened there and Dr Dick last isn't a surprise but was a tune.
Yass for managing 20th despite being joint points with Daehun.. Much higher than I envisioned!
Great job Jupiter, was really great presenting!

Posted by: Klumzee 27th June 2020, 10:58 PM
I see we seemed to out-perform our ranking we should've been based on number of voters, only 15 of them! Links in with the theory that my song had vocal lovers and not much casual support which gave off the impression it would do better than it did. You guys need to stop hyping me up each contest as I think I've performed worse than the predictions in every contest so far this year! Predict me last and I'll be happy when I come 40th
I will take getting 18's from Hendinia and Aeroche, two of my favourite BJSC countries as a sign of success anyway x
Also good to see my points in the semi final helped Where's My Juul? into a qualifying positions!
Posted by: Bré 27th June 2020, 11:01 PM
Dropped from 7 in the semi to 0 in the final from Cadelicia!! (I was gonna say I hoped that Oliver's post saying he thought I'd be a safe qualifier was a sign that he was a fan... ) Also lost all the points from the semi from Flynnonda and Frandoot, although I did gain Sandénia. x

Right so here's some fascinating stats following on from discussion in this thread xx
Headline conclusion: with a small handful of exceptions, the bias towards songs from one's own semi-final is pretty distinct and clear-cut, this month at least. It's such a clear correlation that I'd be pretty surprised if this isn't something that's always the case, but I'll investigate a few older contests at some point to double check!
I ended up pretty close to the middle (still a small bias to my own semi, but below average among semi 1 voters) which I choose to believe is also good evidence that listening to both semi-finals helps to eliminate that bias. Though that may just be a coincidence.
Countries in blue were in semi 1, countries in red were in semi 2. Ordered by % of points given to semi 1 songs (ignoring any points given to the auto-qualifiers), so if the bias exists, you'd expect the top half to be mostly blue and the bottom half to be mostly red, and well...
This has been FiveThirtyBréight x
(well done to Flynnonda for being the ultimate non-biased nation!)

Congrats to Altyr! Yay for a nailbiting finish, and I think this is decent justice served for Nova not winning before with 'Anything For U'. I never would've guessed she's only 18! I wonder where she would rank among BJSC's youngest winners
26th doesn't quite meet my expectations but I won't complain, since it's my highest finish since January. I enjoyed getting as high as 14th but sure enough peaked at the halfway mark, with all of Semi 1's votes revealed and none of Semi 2's, so the theory about the semi bias/familiarity applies there for sure.
Speaking of, I did notice while I was voting that my votes were more skewed toward my own semi than probably ever before, so not surprised at all that I was indeed the most biased to Semi 1
Can't say the top 10 was much to my tastes, only voted for three of them! Pleased that Flynnonda (my 18) got as high as 12th and a bit shocked that my 15 and 13 (Cadelicia and Greenfroze) ended up in the bottom half, both seemed like potential dark horses to me. I'm glad Singerpurear finished in a respectable place!
The hosting was thorougly enjoyable, thank you Jupiter!
Posted by: Bré 28th June 2020, 12:20 AM
Also here are the stats for the inverse (i.e. which songs received the most points from semi 1 countries vs. semi 2 countries). The outliers should match up to which songs had the worst 'wrong semi' effect (out of those that qualified obvz). I am fully vindicated in thinking I was in the wrong semi, I had the only song that was more reliant on semi 2 countries than the average semi 2 song!!!
(note that there's a small inherent bias to semi 1 as there were 29 voters from semi 1 compared to only 27 from semi 2 - though interestingly semi 2 songs as a whole received more points than semi 1 songs, so the consensus seems to be clear that semi 2 was the better semi)

Well, congratulations to John! Not a track I had on my radar at all so that's a nice surprise and it's very pleasant. And great hosting from Jupiter, I really enjoyed reading through these threads I just wish I'd qualified to be more involved with it all.
Especially interesting discussion on biases within voting, I've been fairly aware they exist for a while, I think this month was just weird for me specifically because a lot of really good songs managed to qualify from Semi 1 (Aelandor deserved far better, despite his slander) and make up the top edge of my votes even with most of my semi 2 votes also qualifying.

Very interesting to see the breakdown, particularly with me being so high in the rank of people that favoured our own semi more.
My votes (I think) are usually a lot more evenly spread between semis (and AQs) but I definitely did end up in the semi more aligned to my tastes this time, which I guess was vindicated by Hayley doing so well in it. Although she did have solid, if unspectacular, support from the other semi as well; I believe her projected finish would have been just outside the top ten based on the semi result.

Good to be somewhere near the middle of the bias chart. I always spend the week the semi's are up only listening to songs from that semi, then the following week will give the same amount of listens to qualified songs from the other semi, before giving a final listen in one go to determine the order.
I always listen to the Spotify without knowing who's sent what either and only add country names on my PM to the host, to try and make sure I show no bias to certain countries.

The top 4 scores in my final vote were all from my own semi which is quite unusual. It's normally a lot more even than that. When I listened to the semi 2 qualifiers,I was waiting for a really good song to grab me but it never happened.

I'm loving these stats Bray they are really interesting! I think I've always had a bias towards my own semi unintentionally, having more time with them does help me get to know the songs better by the time the final comes around. It also doesn't help that I found semi 2 really strong this month and only my 1 pointer didn't make it. It's particularly evident that I'm the 3rd biggest culprit for it
I'm just thinking what I can do to try and avoid any bias in the future? Perhaps listening to all the songs in the first week or joining for the plug session of the other semi just for fun. I'm also wondering about country name bias too as I reckon that also has an effect on me. I tend to cherrypick and listen to the countries I usually like first as their entries grab my interest before I complete a runthrough in the semi order.
I wouldn't say country name ends up affecting the songs that are ultimately my favourites, but when the song isn't grabbing me, I'm more likely to give it another chance if it was sent by one of my favourite countries compared to a country I don't usually vote for, so it might end up towards the lower end of my points due to that bias?
Sorry for the essay x

62.9% I thought it was somewhat equal given 2 of my top 3 are from semi-final 2, but then I do have more favourites in the first semi than the second semi. I will try my best to be as unbiased as possible for the next contest. X

Well it's good to see I'm fairly balanced, I can't deny I do fall victim to bias when I have less time with the other semi (I often just don't have the time nor the will to listen to 60+ songs in a week, it was hard enough when I AQ'd!), but I do try and make up for it by listening to the Semi 1 qualifiers that I like twice to get a feel of them. Sometimes though, it's just simply my music taste, there were a lot of Semi 1 songs that were right up my street anyway and would've ranked highly either way.

Congratulations John! It was my favourite of the three contenders so happy that you snatched it
The semi 1 vs semi 2 stats are indeed interesting. I'm not surprised that I had a bias towards semi 1 this time, I had far more time to listen in the first week than the second so I didn't give as much time to the growers in semi 2 compared to the first one.
Posted by: Klumzee 28th June 2020, 12:08 PM
I get that feeling that everyone is going to be so conscious of the bias that next contest we'll all be favouring the other semi! Guess it reflects best when people are unaware what they're doing.
Posted by: Bré 28th June 2020, 12:09 PM
To be clear these stats aren't intended to call people out, there's not really anything wrong with being biased to one semi over the other (it could just be that way purely because of the songs from one semi aligning with your tastes much more than the other, TARO Bellamia's votes in particular look like a strong case of that which clearly overpowered any own-semi bias) - it's just interesting from a stats geek perspective to observe how clear the own-semi bias is on average.
Maybe I'll do this again next contest and see if people being more aware of this bias results in the difference being less clear
It's also occurred to me that the songs that qualified from each semi are, of course, determined by the other voters from the same semi in the first place, thus weeding out the songs least likely to be supported by countries from the same semi. Maybe it'd be more even if everyone voted in both semis (not suggesting that we should do that, just a hypothetical).

This is why, when I first pointed it out, that it makes sense for there to be a 'bias' towards the bottom as all songs in each semi have an amount of support that took them through that they wouldn't necessarily get from the other semi. I didn't find it all surprising that most of the bottom 8 at the half way point were from Semi 2, more so that most of the songs at the top were Semi 1.

Yes I hadn't thought of that! The semi participants collectively weed out the tracks they're not so keen on, but these could have been more popular with voters from the other semi.
It's generally not a problem because the numbers voting in each semi are (meant to be) equal, so the effect should cancel each other out. The only issue might be that tracks in the 'wrong semi' are hindered in the final, even if they make it.
I'm not gonna try and change my bias with this, but it's interesting to get confirmation that I do indeed have them. I'm gonna paste the entry list into LibreOffice without the country names, as I used to, though, as I'm certain I have a bias there that's a bit more unfair.

interesting semi bias study there!
I think there is an inherent bias towards one's own semi - PROVIDING YOUR FAVES MAKE THE FINAL - because you hear them more than once. It has to be that way, as I currently rank songs the way I do eurovision voting, by giving them points out of 100, and judging the next song by previous points for previous songs so they end up with an overall ranking. If 2 are so close that it's a gnats whisker, I compare by playing one after the other to split them up.
With the final, I remind myself of the songs in my semi as I concentrate on the songs from the other semi and slide them in amongst the existing points out of 100, re-point any that have grown on me more (which is not as easy for songs in t'other semi) and then when Ive got the final 20 or so contenders I reverse-check play them from 20 up to 1, which sort of shuffles them naturally in the correct slots as some move up a bit and some move down a bit.
The final bias is mood - sometimes I'm in a pop-ho mood, sometimes I'm in a "looking for something different" mood, sometimes a "mellow reflective" mood, and this can change on a daily basis and during the day, depending on time, which is why a few plays spread out are better for sorting out bias towards or against songs where mood is unfairly going against some tracks.
I'm nothing if not methodical, and these days I buy my absolute faves off itunes (any that make my charts, I have paid for, and the countries entering them have got the artists a sale out of it, hooray!)

I voted 9 from semi 1 and 8 from semi 2 this time. My 2 favourites were from my semi though. 'Josslyn' probably had an unfair advantage as I've been aware of that song for longer, even before this contest. Interestingly 4 out of the next 5 in my votes were from semi 1.
EDIT: Also was it just me or were Semi 2 countries a lot more pop orientated than usual? (and those countries voted the more poppier songs from semi 1)

I'm struggling to pick something this month!
I might give myself a kiss of death and send the ballad I love and just forego the qualifier, or send some Bulgarian gothic synth. I have so much in the vault that it's gonna be an eenie meenie minie mo situation!

A very high semi-correlation oops I do remember thinking a lot of the songs from the other semi weren't great though. For me I think a lot of it is the fact that the songs I vote for in the semi very often get through (looking at the scoreboard, two of my Final top 3 wouldn't have made it if I hadn't voted for them) and I know that if I'd have been in the other semi, Silly People by Blanks would have gotten my +12 which would likely have propelled it into the Final to get my +18.
The way I rank my songs in the Final pretty much removes any bias as I rank all the songs initially and then listen to my Top 25 in reverse order and re-rank (generally the Top 25 contains all the songs I found remotely interesting as it does feel like there are often a lot of same-y songs that reach the final), so even if I do put the songs from my own semi higher to start with, the scorboard evens out on my second listen.
Posted by: imaduck 29th June 2020, 12:11 PM
I either spend 90% of my time listening to my own semi and then rush vote the final
or rush vote my semi and then spend time with the final.
I would imagine if these stats continue I'll wildly waver between semi bias and equality.
One deadline is hard enough, two kills me off most months.
I wish there would be a list of what qualified from each semi each month in the finals post, or a colour code or some shit like that.

Late but good winner! My 4 points to Altyr winning it for them
Not too surprised at my low placing, it did get a good Semi draw then!
Not bitter at all about REYKO coming top 10 in this

For anyone who hasn't noticed, there is a Worldvision spin-off happening now - you've got the rest of this weekend to confirm if you want to join during the main contest gap.
Posted by: Bré 4th July 2020, 04:57 PM
In case anyone was wondering why there hasn't been any news about the next contest yet, we are on our annual gap between the 5th and 6th contests of the year (which is meant to be like a month but is only actually a couple of weeks again due to certain contests overrunning x).
BJSC 126 will be kicking off around the time Worldvision finishes so in the mean time, anyone who hasn't already, http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=235834, there's still another day and a half left and plenty of spots remaining! I'd recommend it even if you don't normally enter the spinoffs, it is a fun spin on Eurovision xx
(I still need to actually look for a song for it myself, lemme do that tonight )
Posted by: J00psyMethyd 4th July 2020, 06:11 PM
gah I could do without the gap given the circumstances! Happy to host an interim one
On that note...I'm hosting Club Bizarre 12 in the dance forum. You'll either love or hate the theme, & I'm planning to theme it a bit again. So come get hyped in the thread
