BuzzJack Music Forum _ Buzzjack Song Contest _ Buzzjackfestivalen 2015 - Confirmations

Posted by: Cal 25th May 2015, 08:28 PM





**Recycled graphic AHOY!**

So here we go, it's summer! Welcome to the fourth edition of Buzzjackfestivalen! cheer.gif

Now, before we start, this competition is based on the same format used in Melodifestivalen and it will tour the following four wonderful nations of Ashton, Daehun, Espen, and Bignia-Zaragovina. Each host will present a heat, and details on format are to be confirmed! ohmy.gif

Before we begin the confirmation process, here are some little rules in addition to the normal BJSC rules:

- Songs must be a maximum of 3 minutes in length. They can be shorter if you wish, but not a second over 3:00. The video can be longer than 3 minutes, as long as the song itself is 3:00 or shorter. You can also enter a song longer than 3 minutes if you are willing to edit it down for the purposes of the competition. If there is any doubt then PM either myself, Yu, Silas or Jahq.

- No Eurovision or Junior Eurovision songs are allowed, nor are any songs that have competed in national finals for either of these competitions. Of course Eurovision artists are allowed, but not with the song(s) they entered with.

- Please at least TRY to be inspired. This is less strict than the regular BJSC but the mods reserve the right to flush anything that takes the piss. You've been warned!


Confirmations will take place the same way as the regular BJSC, via PM. Please send your confirmation to me (Cal), in the following format:

Country:
Artist:
Song:
Link:
MP3:


You MUST send an MP3 at some stage before confirmations close. I'll be responsible for collating and uploading the OFFICIAL Buzzjackfestivalen CD, so if you want your MP3 to be in it and of good quality then it's up to you to give it me. If I don't receive one then I'll be using whatever I find, so don't be awkward.

You are allowed to make TWO changes to your confirmation, so be sure of the song you want to send. I'd allow more but I'm stuck for time these days so make sure you're happy with your entry!

Confirmation closes FRIDAY MAY 29 @23:59. The Heats will hopefully go live on the Monday evening. However, all dates are provisional because we're STILL totalitarian flops.

Originally there will be only 24 of 28 places available (the 4 hosts automatically have a spot in a heat), but we can raise that number provided that we can do so in batches of four in order to ensure that each heat has an equal number of participants.

Enough of me yapping, get confirming! NU KÖR VI! *.*

Have been wanting to send this song to BJSC for a few months but never felt it was right at any of the times, so i'm giving it the much needed exposure here instead where it fits in perfectly.

(oh and I've confirmed and gone unusually POP for me seeing as it's a spin off)

Posted by: #OwlVicii 25th May 2015, 08:53 PM

Now is the time to submit an entry which you hope will flop here so you don't regret not sending it in the main BJSC ohmy.gif (unless BJF... entries are not vetoable in BJSC)

Just confirmed!

Genre: French House

Surprisingly not from DDR but from something related tongue.gif

Posted by: M¤th 25th May 2015, 09:13 PM

Confirmed with some French Rap but im hoping I'll find a song that I don't have to edit so much to replace it!

Posted by: ¡bré! 25th May 2015, 09:19 PM

I can confirm Persephonia are going REGGAE (unless the mods are no fun and throw my song out). This can only go well.

Posted by: Chez Wombat 25th May 2015, 09:33 PM

Darn, hope I wasn't too late/someone else confirmed it. Confirmed a WONDERFULLY hypnotic piece that I hope you all love heart.gif

Posted by: Lindsey ♌ 25th May 2015, 09:43 PM

I was close to confirming an indie-ish track and then I was stuck between two acoustics, but in the end decided to go with Taahino's usual kinda thing happy.gif It's either going to go down well or like a led balloon I think, but nonetheless I'm glad I can share this artist, I've considered them for BJSC before but it never really felt right to enter them into that laugh.gif heart.gif

Posted by: JosephStyles 25th May 2015, 09:46 PM

I ended up changing from my original entry and have sent a pure pop song by a young male. ie a recipe for a DNQ in BJSC for Bellamia laugh.gif

Posted by: gooddelta 25th May 2015, 09:53 PM

About to confirm a pop stomper!

reserve that spot for me plz. i will definitely be entering some time that is not right now

Posted by: Ethan 25th May 2015, 10:09 PM

Confirmed~

Posted by: ¡bré! 25th May 2015, 10:13 PM

Ooh just checked and one of my old potentials that I never got around to sending to BJSC is JUST under 3 minutes (3:02 video but 2:57 on iTunes) so I have a backup if my song does get thrown out. Woop.

Posted by: Conderella 25th May 2015, 10:16 PM

i'm going with something rather cheap

but who cares. i know i don't

Posted by: Jade 25th May 2015, 10:20 PM

Already thinking of changing to an amaze instrumental from a level from an obscure game I used to play, but would require chopping off about about 20 secs, gahh. Definitely between these two, though.

Posted by: Cody Slayberry 25th May 2015, 10:29 PM

Damn I found a song with a video edit that's a few seconds above 2 minutes long, but the SoundCloud MP3 is twice that.

Would the video edit be good for the MP3 in that case?

Posted by: Cal 25th May 2015, 11:01 PM

Right, so the original 28 places are now full. But please keep confirming because we can expand this by another 12 if necessary. That would be 44 in total (11 per heat), which I think is fair. cheer.gif

Posted by: Riser 26th May 2015, 05:01 AM

My entry is a female pop-rock duo and rather Veronicas-esque in sound. The music video is 17 minutes long so I used the Soundcloud link instead kink.gif

Posted by: Kl▲mzee 26th May 2015, 08:39 AM

Confirmed! Surprised how popular this has been so far ohmy.gif

Posted by: Iz~ 26th May 2015, 09:34 AM

I have confirmed after all. Yay. With an act that I've always wanted to represent me but wouldn't have considered sending to BJSC unless I was really desperate because of their past in the contest.

Posted by: LeeWallace 26th May 2015, 11:52 AM

i'll confirm ASAP

Posted by: Gage 26th May 2015, 12:03 PM

I've confirmed but may change as I have a host of different options to choose from (for once).

Let's hope more than half the participants actually vote in the final this time! I get there isn't much of an incentive to vote when your entry's already out, but it'd be nice to have a final result that's at least mostly representative

Posted by: lewistgreen 26th May 2015, 01:19 PM

I've been a bit indecisive over night but decided to confirm with my other potential for BJSC as it's bang on 3 mins long. Looking forward to this smile.gif

Posted by: ¡bré! 26th May 2015, 03:53 PM

I think I didn't vote in the final of this last year out of PROTEST over the results being so shit (and not just for me!!1!) Will try not to do that this year :')

Posted by: Jade 26th May 2015, 03:55 PM

Officially switched over to the track from my favourite obscure online game when younger. happy.gif First instrumental ooh featuring much piano and synths. I look forward to hearing what everyone's put forward.

Oh yes, the song in the video is 3:02 tongue.gif Soo.... I'll need to go with a shite-quality youtube video or change my entry... dilemma.

Posted by: #OwlVicii 29th May 2015, 03:22 PM

What's the deal with the 3 minute limit anyway? I've found the average length of a song to be between 3:30 to 4:30. And did I not read somewhere the limit used to be 3:30, or what that Eurovision?

This spin-off is based on Melodifestivalen, the Swedish competition to pick their entry for Eurovision. Songs need to be no more than 3 minutes...

Posted by: J▼hnkm 29th May 2015, 03:59 PM

Finding a song under 3 minutes really isn't that hard.

Well, it doesn't HAVE to be be a song you currently have on iTunes. But I'm sure you'll find something.

If it's a song that we've vetoed before, don't bother just find something else to send now so we don't have to reject it later.

If it's something that is so stupidly cheap then it would probably be vetoed on the grounds of it not being in the spirit of the contest.

Posted by: Henderella 29th May 2015, 04:30 PM

Just because it's a spin-off comp doesn't mean we need to resort to cheapness

Says me who sent third cheap-but-not-vetoed song in a row

There is no formalised veto framework in place but we still cast an eye over the entry list and seek alternates for things that really raise an eyebrow. Re-entering something we've vetoed more than raises an eyebrow.

Public Service Announcement for the sanity of your moderators:

If you send a back up with your entry, you know that the thing you're trying to send is cheap as f*** so ditch that and SEND THE BACK UP TO BEGIN WITH.

Posted by: Henderella 31st May 2015, 08:04 PM

Public Service Announcement for the sanity of your moderators:

If you send a back up with your entry, you know that the thing you're trying to send is cheap as f*** so ditch that and SEND THE BACK UP TO BEGIN WITH.

Well the OP was kind of misleading saying there was no veto. Yes the artists are fairly well known but they aren't as well known as someone like Avicii/David Guetta etc.

The first post never says there is no veto. Perhaps read next time hen?

Please just stop justifying yourself. I am getting hints of desperation there. First post says less strict rules but it never says there are no rules whatsoever. Just stahhhhhhp for crying out loud

Just going to treat this contest like BJSC pretty much seeing as I still don't understand the veto rules for this oops

Hasn't On The Regular been vetoed before? Bit shady considering the fuss that was made about Michael's entry.

It has been, not really a fair entry. There really should be a rule against submitting already vetoes to any contest and spin-off that has a veto system in place.

This is true, BUT I think the difference here is that On The Regular (and Shamir in BJSC I guess) is considerably less egregious when it comes to trying to get one past the veto/mods than a song from a multiple entrant remixed by another big name act who has had a UK #1 single.

Posted by: J▼hnkm 1st June 2015, 07:32 PM

I don't think it's necessarily fair to just say 'NO vetoed track can EVER be tried again'. The conditions that make a song veto worthy aren't always the same from month to month and especially if it's been a long time since the veto (On The Regular was vetoed last year, for example) then the hype may have died down and thus the song is no longer worthy of being vetoed. However, I do think it's something which needs to be clarified to try and avoid these situations in the future, but the wording of such an amendment is far trickier than it might initially seem.

Posted by: imaduck 1st June 2015, 07:33 PM

as if I knew any of this before submitting, it was just a song that I liked.

Posted by: Silas 1st June 2015, 07:35 PM

It was an autoveto. It was on the R1 playlist at the start of the year and that's what made it a veto.

If it was to be re-entered into the normal contest this month it would have gotten through. Plus the veto tweak means that some of the points it got you can't even get points for anymore.

As much as I dislike vetoed tracks being re-entered, this one doesn't really annoy me much.

oh god having a bit of an Electro Velvet moment in that my entry sounds great in studio (Youtube) form but the live performance (mp3) is a bit dodgy :/ guess it's my own fault but surely a Youtube rip would've sufficed?

In that I feel bad for liking now only because it's been chipmunked! It's just a bog-standard pop track otherwise.

No? I thought it was you as I recognise it in your chart tongue.gif maybe someone who regularly reads it decided to give it a spin and then submit it here thinking.gif

I was pretty surprised when I found that out as well! Arthur is a lot more Rastafari than I previously assumed ~

I hope people don't find my entry to be too ridiculous / cheap, I genuinely really adore the song independently of the show (which I never liked THAT much) and hope other people may be fans of it as a piece of music as well.
