Hype I imagine my entry will be another retro one that doesn't set the contest alight a la Judith Durham but hopefully it'll have a few big fans.
Posted by: uhsting 23rd December 2022, 07:49 PM
Sorry, we are encountering technical difficulties with our spaceship. Please wait for a good couple of minutes before we begin.
Posted by: CodySleighBell-y 23rd December 2022, 07:53 PM
I think most of those who would be fans of BROODS didn’t vote so I’m expecting this to be a big flop but I’ve been wrong before!
Posted by: awardinary 23rd December 2022, 07:57 PM
Let’s get this overseas party started!
Posted by: uhsting 23rd December 2022, 08:17 PM
We are sorry for the slight delay due to thrusters not working properly as intended x
Welcome to the spaceship departing from Agerson to Earth. Please read the safety card in front of you. Food and drinks will be served. Have a nice journey. We are up in space, man! Cheers!

ooh is the Elevator music embed a sign that Danæviia are about to win tonight?
(probably not as I don't suspect the host, nor anyone else, remembers that it was briefly sampled in my previous BJSC entry "Overkill" by Riot)
Posted by: uhsting 23rd December 2022, 08:24 PM
We first have our lovely passenger Jade, HoD of Jadakissnia, presenting us votes on who should take the free ticket in the first class cabin:
QUOTE(Jade)
12 points: Persephonia 10 points: Danæviia 8 points: Pestolia 7 points: Lotunia 6 points: Land of DW 5 points: République d'Áskorza 4 points: Flynnonda 3 points: Trifoski 2 points: Cor Lupus 1 point: Zanmatony Commiserations: xx // Terra Avium // Suriname // Damaru - Suriname xx // Rolloland // Toronto // Rush - 2112
Jadakissnia has Hispaniola as their destination. In this set, Azerbaijan is the country. Personally, I am not very familiar with the Azerbaijani scene but they give us some bops from time to time x They used to have a decent music industry though but now their NMF playlist contains a lot of artists from Turkey too, so I wasn't able to chart a lot of the songs from there x
We will provide the full song names after every 5th vote so I don't spend too much time writing this up x
Posted by: awardinary 23rd December 2022, 08:27 PM
Yay a nice little point to get me off the mark from the Queen of Jadakissnia!
Posted by: uhsting 23rd December 2022, 08:28 PM
The HoD of Zanmatony, lovely Wardy, has snuck in their votes in the pocket of a flight attendant, and they gave me this:
QUOTE(Wardy)
+12 Sovarasma // Fiji // GLVES - Free +10 Pestolia // Rome // Winter Severity Index - A Sudden Cold +8 Trifoski // Faroe Islands // Dánjal - The Big Wheel Keeper +7 Rolloland // Toronto // Rush - 2112 +6 Danæviia // Taiwan // Waves of Doppler - You Are Poem, You Are Rain; You Are the Water to My Flame +5 Jadakissnia // Birmingham // The Moody Blues - Melancholy Man +4 Kyriatine // Copenhagen // Drew Sycamore - Jungle +3 Eastovka // DR Congo // GIMS - MAINTENANT +2 Cor Lupus // Auckland // BROODS ft. Tove Lo - I Keep +1. Altyr Muunilinst // Costa Rica // MishCatt - Ferris Wheel
Zanmatony has quite a difficult set ngl. I'm quite surprised he has found a decent song from Malmo! Egypt is an interesting country. I'm still going through their catalogue of new pop music at the moment, but one name stood out for me: Samira Said (also eligible for Morocco x)
Posted by: Sausage Rollo 23rd December 2022, 08:30 PM
Thanks for the 7 points, Wardy.
Posted by: uhsting 23rd December 2022, 08:33 PM
Next up, the HoD of Eastovka, Cow Cow, kindly asked the manager to deliver me the following votes:
QUOTE(Cow Cow)
Greetings!
Here are the votes from Eastovka:
12 07 // Dobago // Cabo Verde // Soraia Ramos x Nenny - Trompete 10 20 // Trifoski // Faroe Islands // Dánjal - The Big Wheel Keeper 08 15 // Terra Avium // Suriname // Damaru - Suriname 07 12 // Zanmatony // Malmö // Moonbabies - War on Sound 06 02 // Land of DW // Paris // Perturbator - She Is Young, She Is Beautiful, She Is Next 05 21 // Sovarasma // Fiji // GLVES - Free 04 19 // Séyetana // Poland // Closterkeller - Władza 03 03 // Beaverdonia // Indonesia // Siti Badriah - Lagi Syantik 02 05 // Bøtanikkä // Jamaica // Spice, Sean Paul ft. Shaggy - Go Down Deh 01 14 // Persephonia // Kyrgyzstan // Jasalma Kyrgyz - Ak Suu
Imma judge you for sending GIMS for DR Congo x Anyways, there is quite some diaspora spreading all over Europe. You might know Tusse from last year's Eurovision. Then, there is BLENDA which was on my chart a few weeks ago with a banger "Holy by Myself" I'm excited to tap into the local scene as well and I would recommend Konono Nº1.

Oops did not realise this was happening again (I need to check this forum more xx) but at least I haven't missed too much with the slightly late start Starting with a 12 thanks Jade edit: thank you Cow Cow for the mealworm point also
(although I know Wardy voted last minute so these are definitely not order of receipt - is this just a random order or has it been curated in some way? x)
Posted by: uhsting 23rd December 2022, 08:38 PM
*SMASH* What's that sound???!! Oh! Dan, HoD of Danæviia, dropped his BIG cup of water on the water, causing a scene!! While flight attendants are clearing the mess, he delivered this slip to me:

Dan do be serving us Taiwanese EDM and we stan fully x They also have an alright pop scene too, with Eve Ai being the recent artist that pops up my mind with a couple of bangers
That temporary Pestolia lead thanks Wardy and Jade for the points so far! edit: and Dan too!

The YouTube sound quality does sound a bit sus to me (but not for others) Apologies for not checking the Spotify version as well x Poland has a large pop scene and I believe they have a decent dance scene too, if you remember SARAPATA from Sovarasma earlier in the year
Hope an invasion is not going on in Sovarasma, or are we doomed? x

A LOUD YEEEEEWWEREEREETTTTTT SHOUT HAS BEEN HEARD:
QUOTE(Meekul)
Sorey, dinet have teem to organise then for the google form!!!

When you need time and a team to send your votes through Google Form Anyways, I was wondering whether Meekul found this by typing "Indonesian music" in the YouTube search bar? Indonesian music scene has been interesting and there are a couple of songs that were leaked over to other Asian countries' NMF. One that caught my attention is RAMENGVRL's FASHION, which I'm sure Cow Cow likes xx
QUOTE(Sausage Rollo 5th Christmas number 1 single yeeting out The Beatles)
Attention all countries of the Buzzjack Song Contest, Rolloland has assumed control.
It will come as little surprise that I am giving my twelve points to the Moody Blues. Melancholy Man was placed at number 910 in my all time top 1000 songs chart. My own entry, 2112 by Rush, was at number 156. Here is my full vote:
12pts - Jadakissnia // Birmingham // The Moody Blues - Melancholy Man 10 - Danæviia // Taiwan // Waves of Doppler - You Are Poem, You Are Rain; You Are the Water to My Flame 8 - Persephonia // Kyrgyzstan // Jasalma Kyrgyz - Ak Suu 7 - Pestolia // Rome // Winter Severity Index - A Sudden Cold 6 - Zanmatony // Malmö // Moonbabies - War on Sound 5 - Trifoski // Faroe Islands // Dánjal - The Big Wheel Keeper 4 - Terra Avium // Suriname // Damaru - Suriname 3 - Séyetana // Poland // Closterkeller - Władza 2 - Lotunia // Helsinki // Chisu - Mysteeri 1 - Land of DW // Paris // Perturbator - She Is Young, She Is Beautiful, She Is Next
Thanks to uhsting for hosting.
Rollo had Curacao in the set, which is quite a difficult country tbf x They have diaspora mostly in the Netherlands, for instance Shermanology which a lot might know x My rejected Jungle entry for CB is also from Curacao xx
We are dealing with a possible hijack attempt. Please bear with us a sec xx
Posted by: Michael Bubré 23rd December 2022, 08:58 PM
I definitely spent longer than I should have trying to figure out how that paragraph from Séyetana was supposed to translate into votes before realising it's just unrelated
Thank you Iz and Meekul (so close to that elusive 9 points )

QUOTE(Not Cody)
Hi guys, I'm Jordi Webber from Power Rangers Ninja Steel and the newest holiday movie Mistletoe Ranch, and both times I got to wear a cowboy hat. It's part of the branding. I'm so glad that BROODS got to represent the great city of Auckland and hopefully they'll produce a good result here. Now, courtesy of the Gold Ninja Steel Ranger, let's see how the votes added up:
12 POINTS | MishCatt - Ferris Wheel [Altyr Muunilinst] 10 POINTS | Spice & Sean Paul f/Shaggy - Go Down Deh [Bøtanikkä] 08 POINTS | Chisu - Mysteeri [Lotunia]
07 POINTS | Soraia Ramos x Nenny - Trompete [Dobago] 06 POINTS | Blondie - One Way Or Another [République d'Áskorza] 05 POINTS | Drew Sycamore - Jungle [Kyriatine] 04 POINTS | GIMS - MAINTENANT [Eastovka] 03 POINTS | GLVES - Free [Sovarasma] 02 POINTS | MEYY - Blush [Flynnonda] 01 POINTS | Waves of Doppler - You Are Poem, You Are Rain; You Are the Water to My Flame [Taiwan]
Thanks everyone, y'all were great, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. Here's to 2023!
Tbf I thought I messed up with assigning Auckland as a supposedly "easy" city. Nonetheless, Cor Lupus did manage to find someone there! The other choice would be Chile and would everyone be ready for another Javiera Mena banger?
It's not something I expect from Rome tbh x We STAN!! The country in this set is Barbados which is another hard country unless you are tempted to send Rihanna's latest single But Nilüfer Yanya is possibly a name you may have heard of and has heritage from Barbados, and her music is quite nice x (Was she sent before Bre? )
WE HAVE A WINNER!!!! CONGRATULATIONS BRE!! GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE XX

Another midweek #1 (I can't say I sent this expecting it to do that well so I'm gonna assume this is random.org just giving me a good start)
Nilüfer Yanya has not been in BJSC before but her album this year was fab so I also endorse x

Honestly, this pop entry is one of the better pop entries sent to BJSC as of late xx Ghana was assigned as the country and there are a host of artists which can be considered. I won't mind seeing Genesis Owusu again actually x

The letter of votes from the HoD of Dobago was signed with "N/A". Mmmmmm let's open this tasteful letter:
QUOTE(Dobbo with taste)
12 points: Beaverdonia 10 points: Trifoski 8 points: Land of DW 7 points: Sovarasma 6 points: République d'Áskorza 5 points: Terra Avium 4 points: Séyetana 3 points: Zanmatony 2 points: Pestolia 1 point: Flynnonda
When I saw Soraia Ramos being entered, I yassed so hard!!!! OMGGGG Dobbo well done!! Trompete was filled with personality. If this entry does well tonight, can we have more of these in BJSC please? xx
Cabo Verde may seem very niche to you, but alongside Angola they have a couple of decent artists based in Portugal and I do encounter some of them during my weekly listenthrough of the NMF Portugal playlist x
What's the sound? It's Bre's 🚨car alarm🚨 ringtone! He apologies for the noise. Wait how could he be contacted in space? Anyways, here are his votes:
QUOTE(Hi bre x)
I have PTSD from imaduck forms so I'm just gonna PM if that's ok x
12 Pestolia // Winter Severity Index - A Sudden Cold 10 Land of DW // Perturbator - She Is Young, She Is Beautiful, She Is Next 8 Jadakissnia // The Moody Blues - Melancholy Man
7 Dobago // Soraia Ramos and Nenny - Trompete 6 Danæviia // Waves Of Doppler - You Are Poem, You Are Rain; You Are The Water To My Flame 5 Séyetana // Closterkeller - Władza 4 Cor Lupus // BROODS - I Keep (feat. Tove Lo) 3 Terra Avium // Damaru - Suriname 2 Lotunia // Chisu - Mysteeri 1 Rolloland // Rush - 2112
Thought Land of DW's song would be hard to beat early on in the listenthrough but then it was beaten 2 songs later by my fellow coldwave connoisseur - I actually like Pestolia's song more than my own entry, what a tune. Still a great top 2 of discoveries anyway and medals rounded out by a great song discovered from the UK #1 albums listenthroughs and good to hear it again here.
'Commiserations' to Blondie which I like enough to probably give like 5 points but I decided to prioritise more inspired entries
Love to see Bre entering a Kyrgyz artist based in Tokyo I recommended Tamga the other day. Their pop music scene is quite interesting. I love their traditional instruments incorporated into the music. Some of the songs are really grand x
Thanks Bré for the bronze medal still very much all to play for.

You might be surprised to know that BJSC royalty Claudia Valentina was born in Guernsey Even then, I was manifesting Mura Masa with this "country" choice. Hence, I think Guernsey produces the most number of well-known artists from the Channel Islands, even though they don't have the highest population.

Thanks for the one point, Bré, the same points score you gave to my other recent prog epic, Grendel.
Posted by: Michael Bubré 23rd December 2022, 09:53 PM
Doing a 12 swap with Pestolia *.*
And oh yes so it is two 1 pointers in a row for these Rolloland prog spinoff entries. '2112' had some parts that I wasn't that keen on but other parts that I loved so it was a bit of a difficult one to rank but I did on balance enjoy it enough that I still thought it deserved a point. Maybe I thought the same thing about 'Grendel', I forget x
Posted by: uhsting 23rd December 2022, 09:54 PM
Well that is embarrassing given there were so many errors happening in this flight, isn't it?
Despite hosting a relatively small Worldvision this edition, I thoroughly enjoyed the quality of the edition. I thought I might struggle to point half of the songs in this contest. Lotunia gave us a stunner which sounded really big in the recap. Dobago served us something really spicy. Kyriatine found form with pop song again! I admire Rolloland's entry with the story told in 20 minutes across several movements. Talk about writing a symphony but in popular music!
I originally went with Brooke Fraser's Magical Machine which would have flopped tbh x Glad Bre "reminded" me to be more inspiring, especially as a host, hence I went with the tasteful GLVES instead.

This is rather lowkey for Flynnonda x His journey to Devon Island required him to send an entry from Morocco, but I'm glad Faouzia wasn't given another chance this edition

Tbf I thought I messed up with assigning Auckland as a supposedly "easy" city. Nonetheless, Cor Lupus did manage to find someone there! The other choice would be Chile and would everyone be ready for another Javiera Mena banger?
I was actually going for Paloma Mami (who ended up releasing something during the confirmations period but I had already found an entry by then) Javiera Mena would have been tempting tho

We stan something genuine, something authentic, something true to self. I originally thought Damaru is a local artist, but he apparently moved to the Netherlands in the 2000s. Also I recommend checking out Pink Oculus too x

Sorry for bluring the recap, alongside Addy who fell victim to strict YouTube copyright laws x This sounded big to me, but was it the case for everyone else? Travelling to Palawan, NocheLuna is given Türkiye too. The country is home to an exotic pop music scene though not as good as Israeli's imo, and also a lot of renowned dance artists.

Yay @ a Pestolia top ten! Great to be back on track with that after a Halloween flop (maybe some day I'll get there in the main contest too )
Congrats Lotunia, Chisu is a great winner. I'm a big fan of most of that top ten so great results really, I would've liked to see Zanmatony a bit higher though.
Thanks uhsting for hosting!
Posted by: Chez Robin 23rd December 2022, 10:55 PM
Did you add deductions in for non-voters? Apologies if I missed it, my top 10 return could happen if not x
Pleasantly surprised by how well I did with this though, it was possibly the laziest selection of an entry ever (guess how I found it ) but I wasn't all that taken by the few other Surinamese sounds I heard and the song was pretty instantly catchy for me and I'm pleased it went down well with others too and makes up for my floppage last time.
Congrats to Lotunia, that did sound like a really big song and is typically wonderful from Finnish pop so no complaints. The two list-of-three titled entries were beautiful, Trifoski and Persephonia also sounded like classic worldvision quirky picks so pleased to see all of those do well.
Did you add deductions in for non-voters? Apologies if I missed it, my top 10 return could happen if not x
Oops I totally forgot about it. Please bear with me x
EDIT: Fixed now x
Posted by: Michael Bubré 23rd December 2022, 11:03 PM
Congrats Noche, oops I said on SyncTube that this song didn't really give me winner vibes so me being wrong again x It was a nice song though and got a couple of points from me so happy with that as the winner! Justice for 'Sabotage' though.
Yayyy at me hanging onto top 5, definitely a much better result than I expected (was a pretty last minute find, I instantly loved it for its instrumental but still thought it was a fairly niche sound that could have easily gone down like a lead balloon especially with the barely audible vocals)! I think that's my 2nd highest finish in Worldvision and iirc I still haven't ever come top 3 in any spinoff (excluding BJFestivalen) but this one adding to a decent handful of 4th-5th place finishes ~
Land of DW would have made a fantastic winner so a little aw at that narrowly missing out but 2nd is still great ofc. Very surprised but pleased to see Dobago finishing so high, also very pleasingly high for Jadakissnia (Jadaphonia finishing back to back *.*) and great to see Pestolia top 10 as well, I actually liked their entry more than my own so almost a little gutted to see them below me haha.
I voted for Cor Lupus and Danæviia too - and Terra Avium who should be top 10 when the deductions are applied x (edit: I see this has been addressed already) - so it's great to see a set of results that I actually feel in touch with, if only the main contests could be like this
Thanks for hosting uhsting think we should probably give Worldvision a rest for a little while now especially as we had two of them this year, maybe can do another one in 2024.

Glad to have made a top 10 after a pretty shitty start! I get to finish the year with all top 10’s in spin-offs Three 18’s is a pretty good haul, thanks to Silas/John/Harry for the gold medals! also congrats to Noche, another really good slice of Finnish pop.
Great job on the hosting job uhsting! Sucks that this edition didn’t have as many participants but it felt a little more relaxed and intimate than previous iterations. Perfect for the holidays now where’s the hot chocolate?
Posted by: uhsting 23rd December 2022, 11:11 PM
I really like the result personally. Glad to see Dobago so high. We want more of these entries in BJSC x I was right about Lotunia sounding really big. I do think this entry could've done really well in normal BJSC. Land of DW and Trifoski rounding up the top 3 is amazing, considering they probably would not do that well in the main contest. Overall, I agree with the top 10. This is also my first time being in the top half too, so thank you very much!
Thanks for the nice words about the hosting this edition x Sad not to have more people joining this edition but we had a really nice bunch of songs

Also still shook that the random Kyrgyz artist I found by Googling 'Kyrgyzstan post-punk' ( this wasn't actually a post-punk song at all but still that being a reliable Google search term to find some good stuff) turned out to also happen to be based in Tokyo meaning I did both the country and city that I was assigned.

Oh, shall I retract my 10 points? You did well with Indonesia, I enjoyed that one.
Congratulations to Lotunia, a Séyetan alumni winning these things is always good to see, Chisu never misses. Great to see Trifoski doing so well too.
I eventually found a Polish rock song I liked, glad to see it getting a few points here and there, so thank you guys!
oh and the text in my votes was lyrics from Sabaton's 'Winged Hussars', just a bit of random Polish nationalism.

First of all, thank you for hosting uhsting (and ty for the 12 points x)! Has been very fun to take part this time, even tho the numbers of participants are a little lower than usual. With that being said, I'm very happy to see Suriname, Cabo Verde, Farao Islands and Kyrgyzstan in the top 10. Finally, thank you all for the points and the win Worldvision itself is by far my favorite of the spin-offs here, so i'm happy to have actually won an edition. A little confession, I was actually going to send a folk band representing Türkiye. However, I discovered that they were only based there and that almost none of the members were actually turkish - probably would not have done as well as "Mysteeri" ended up doing . Anyway, I wish you all a happy holiday season!
