Hello and welcome to Unovia for the first time in two BJSC decades! We were proud to host the anniversary edition in 100 and are proud to usher in the 120s decade of BJSC following Franky Wah & Robinson's storming victory with Hide in Lotunia last contest! Our motto this contest is that when one of us shines, all of us shine, and the songs that we send are enjoyed by the masses, that's what the contest is all about no matter where you finsh.
THE RULES are simple, as always...
- You may not enter a song that has already been sent to BJSC. To check, http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=211939 is the Songs Of BJSC thread that acts as an archive of all our entries.
- You may not enter a song by any of last contest's top 3 artists - they are Franky Wah/Robinson, Ben Platt and Marianas Trench/Roger Joseph Manning Jr..
- You also may not recycle the act you sent to the previous contest.
- The following countries are unfortunately banned due to their failure to vote in the 119 final - Cowtermont, Eledan, Hendinia, Utopia.
- Entries are subject to the BJSC veto framework, the mods will use this when deciding which songs are in the spirit of BJSC so give it a peek if you're at all unsure.
- We have an automatic AQ for being the incumbent winners, Ojnoj will also automatically qualify if we get an even number of entries.
- Keep your entry under wraps until it is revealed!
- You must confirm before 23:59 UK time on Saturday 16th Nov
So here we go....

Still have no idea what to send myself oops but oh well we'll get there and at least ik it automatically qualifies!
Only have one potential atm and I don't think I'm fully behind it so I'll hold on for a bit and do a bit more searching before confirming. Hype tho xxo
Eek I've got nothing either!! Will have a look over the weekend
Sending one of my fave bops of the past few years for my 50th <3
I got something!
Confirmed a song from 1983 that just missed the top 40.
Gone somewhat leftfield even by our standards. Last contest of the year so why not ey.
who wants pop with an orchestral/jazzy layer to it
my nerves were shot waiting for this thread to open, this is my fave entry i’ve sent
I'm hesitant to go with the emotional classical sound after the epic fail of Everdream earlier this year, but this is a beautiful piece and I hope the thumbnail will inspire the same emotions it did for me (for those that get the reference) </3
I'll need some time to think about my final entry but for the moment you've got a song about fish.
Ready for that fourth DNQ in a row!
Blessing you all with a german 90's techno. Thank you.
Ooh the artist of my one potential has just dropped a new song (good timing x) and it's better than the previous one. Gonna confirm it for now although I'm still planning to do some more song searching over the week so might end up reconfirming again.
Confirmed!
Placeholder confirmation in - classicish trance
Unless anything else takes my fancy...
Confirmed an absolute banger!
Sent some tropical vibed pop that the Plug Pop Meh'rs will LOVE
We have our first double confirmation of the month (have PMed the person affected x)
I sent a super wholesome DNQ.
I just heard my entry on the radio I wonder if it’ll take off the same way Tones and I did
I've entered something with wonderful production that happens to be from Chile, but found way after the Worldvision where I was assigned the country, so... no relation
Confirmed
Confirmed! I think that's the first time I've ever not confirmed on the first day. Slightly concerned that someone might have already taken this artist, as it's high in someone's chart and they have a thread in dance (albeit with like 1 reply) but hopefully not.
I'll have sent a different nationality artist to every contest of the year as well if I stick with my current entry (would be my first entry by a UK artist since µ-Ziq in BJSC 107). #diversity
I've confirmed a charming little French song that I've been obsessed with the last couple of months, which sort of reminds me of something from Sarah McLachlan's Surfacing album production and melody wise.
(Though when I went to check it on the form on a different laptop I was presented with a brand new one, so hopefully the confirmation was received).
Okay so I've reconfirmed and since I've not managed to find anything which has any chance of qualifying I've resorted to something that's potentially more iconic than We Are the West Indies.
That was meant to be a surprise
Confirmed with a chilled dance entry I've known for a few years that will probably DNQ.
Confirmed the entry I was gonna send last month, but I' probably gonna change it if I stumble upon something else in the mean time. I just didn't want to go through the week and forget to enter something whilst looking for another entry!
Struggling this month so bad!
I've just changed my entry to a really unique piece from Australia, which sonically somehow feels right for this time of year. I've not had a song catch my ear so immediately on the first listen for a long time.
We’ve reconfirmed.. something very Twenty One Pilots because why not
I have 0 idea what to send, finding it so hard D: Gone with what sounds like a lost Taahino entry for now, I have some big pop songs but don't want to "waste" an AQ on those, I don't have anything out there to just send as a "f*** it" either which is what I always wanted to do when I next had an AQ
here for the sounds of lost taahino x
Being a pain and reverting back sorry
I'm coming for a top ten
omg is Liam gonna turn the leaderboard upside down!?
well if hes going with something taahino sounding he can hope for 25th at best
I've reconfirmed bc my entry was too similar to my other dance entries this year. Now gone for something The Midnight/MGMT esque which we actually discovered & enjoyed during the year to close 2019 out!
Ahhhh, I’ve come across some really cool songs since I confirmed. I still really believe in the song I’ve got in now, but these other songs are also really interesting and I could also see going over well. Now I’m conflicted.
And we're in!
I can’t decide what to send. I’ve switched as I can’t face my first choice bombing!
Reconfirmed, if too cheap then you can go back to my first one xo
couldnt really go with my rejected entry from last time (someone sent the artist) as it's too soon so it's all about camp dance 90's for me. Been waiting on this one a few years, and I'm sure we'll all feel the vibe as 12th Dec looms...
Budtar is back ladiesssss
i was going to go for 2010 emo-pop but i've decided to go for some bad-girl rap to try and keep my YTD crown ..... think this is self-sabotage!!!!!
Omg here for both of those but bad girl rap sounds LIT
Put a placeholder down for now as I have no idea what to send.
Confirmed something I was going to send a couple of months ago. Couldn't find anything else I wanted to send.
Last day!!
Pre-warning semis won't go up til like midnight tomorrow if they are cleared for tomorrow probs bc I'm working 3-11, kill me
I'm sorry, but I have to skip this one.
Going 90s for the first time ever *.*
okay I’ve never done this before without getting vetoed but I’m reconfirming sorry if it’s super last minute
I was trawling through some old potentials and this one just jumped at me, I’m going for a more celebratory vibe this time. Think KSHMR makes a World Cup anthem.
This might go back to bite me in the butt but I have to trust my instincts
did we get lots of vetoes / reconfirms?
inb4 “I’m ready” “okay whenever you’re ready” “I’m ready” “you say that with some determination!”
The list is approved now so semis will be up whenever Liam is able to post them, sorry for the delay ~
It's gonna have to be late tonight, maybe even tomorrow daytime sorry! I'm working til 11 again and have stuff to do before, I am absolutely shattered so may just go straight to bed tonight, but then it is just a case of collating the links and making the post, we'll see.
That's absolutely fine for this participant at least! Take whatever time needed tbh.
(sometimes I'm a bit more antsy to get the contest going but not this time for whatever reason LOL)
Wait, is this the second month in a row with no vetoes!?
*reconfirms to tone damli*
xx
So glad I got Billie - Give Me The Knife through finally xxx
Semis will be up tomorrow afternoon/evening btw!
