Posted by: Mattias 27th September 2016, 07:21 PM

I thought I knew what I wanted to confirm for a little while, but I had a feeling it might be a bit on the cheap side, and some research confirmed my suspicions. It'll most likely be a few days before I confirm something else.

Posted by: Mart!n 27th September 2016, 07:21 PM

Confirmed... can I have a receipt please smoke.gif

My options are all quite soft/mellow this month which is a nice change for us! Not 100% on what I'm going for yet but I'm excited cheer.gif The autumn/winter contests tend to give me the best results so here's hoping!!

Posted by: Addy K!ng 27th September 2016, 07:47 PM

I am way too excited of what I've sent...it could do Dobago 'Feel' or 'Violion Song'...hopefully the first lol

Posted by: Jade 27th September 2016, 07:54 PM

VETO

ROZES - Hangin' On - 33

Artist finished 6th in BJSC 78 and 23rd in BJSC 74 - 7 + 7
Featured on The Chainsmokers' hit 'Roses' which was a worldwide smash earlier this year (top 10 in various countries) and #16 in the UK - 12 + 7
There's significant blog coverage too but no point going into any more detail...

Posted by: gooddelta 27th September 2016, 07:58 PM

Oops...I heard a fantastic song by ROZES the other day actually called Under The Grave which I thought could have been great for BJSC but didn't attempt it because it seemed like a veto on name alone (that and the fact that I prefer the song I confirmed of course...)

Posted by: Ryan. 27th September 2016, 08:00 PM

There is a country in the country list we have that we do not recognise, so it is either a country that has not registered or someone who hasn't made public their name change (not that we'd approve such a name anyway).

This country also hasn't even submitted an entry (you can tell that one entry belongs to *this* country name) so either make an edit otherwise we will delete it! magic.gif

Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 27th September 2016, 08:01 PM

Rozes new track (under the grave) was my 2nd ooenyential so glad I didn't confirm that! Both are excellent songs, highly recommend both!

Posted by: notfurlong 27th September 2016, 08:02 PM

paying no attention to the charts meant I had no idea ROZES had a hit oops

back to the drawing board ~

Posted by: skankhunt42 27th September 2016, 08:07 PM

Why are you hostin?? ohmy.gif

I have no idea if my first entry will be a veto or not tbh laugh.gif but I have like a WHOLE LIST, including loads I forgot about last month, more so it's all ok even if the usual Beaverdonia-ist :sideeye: veto comes through.

Posted by: JSG 27th September 2016, 08:07 PM

Confirmé

Posted by: skankhunt42 27th September 2016, 08:09 PM

I found Rozes last year and then heard the Chainsmokers song with her before it blew up. I was gonna send their 'Rozes' song but Lee told me that it'd be a surefire veto!!

The planned dates for semi voting are 4th-10th and then final voting 11th-17th. Would you definitely not be able to listen while you're away??

tbh the only excuse to accidentally send a song from the last contest is if you didn't participate (or to an extent did not pay as much attention to it as usual based on various circumstances)

It shows what cells are edited so we will know who you are when you properly confirm & we will name and shame

Not through a formal notification or anything but a public proclamation to let everyone know is needed. Even if it's just a short sentence.

Oh thank god!

On a different note, I really hope this decision making becomes easier because this is the second month I've had a sizeable group of potentials and I'm still undecided even though I've confirmed. May still end up posting them in my national thread to get some second opinions.

VETO

Justine Skye (feat. Wizkid) - U Don't Know 29

Artist finished 29th in BJSC 69 and 19th in BJSC 76 (both in past 30 contests) - 3 + 7
Wizkid (sneaky person not crediting him in his confirmation!) featured on Drake's 'One Dance' and a couple of other minor worldwide/UK hits this year - 12 + 7
Billboard, Just Jared and several minor blogs - borderline high blog coverage

Posted by: David 30th September 2016, 08:28 PM

Bhangra has confirmed... Not sure if my entry is a bit "cheap", as it's fairly old and I think a few will know it on here, but we'll see!

Posted by: danG 30th September 2016, 08:36 PM

bit unfair for Wizkid to be providing 19 veto points when he only sang about 2 lines on 'One Dance'!!!

I do agree but it just one of those little quirks of the current system. I remember bringing up featured artists as an issue when we talked about the new framework a few weeks ago and lots of people agreed, so I imagine this will be resolved with the new framework coming at the end of this year!

nothing sneaky about it - just don't pay enough attention to pointless guest raps to either realise he was on One Dance or to include him in the confirmation

not bothered by the veto (apart from the embarrassment of being veto'ed twice oops) since as I said earlier, wasn't rly confident in this entry anyway

will scope around tomorrow for things and if nothing crops up, I've got an MIA-esque banga that's been in my back pocket for months so I'll just enter that

Posted by: Oliver 30th September 2016, 11:42 PM

Cannot complain as I knew I was always gonna be close. Saw their album came out in early September 2014 and thought I'd chance my luck.

If the high blog coverage was due to the original I find the extra 12 points slightly harsh (since I'm sending a remix), if it was due to the remix I understand (since it should be judged on the remix, not the original (because the original is quite frankly shit).

Reconfirming now.

My first veto heart.gif Not surprised at all, but I had to give it a go.
I still believe that there are only about 10/70 who know this beautiful song (I heard it in the series 'One Mississippi' some weeks ago, haven't heard it before) and it would've been a great discovery for some others.
Soo, if you're not familiar with the song, youtube is your friend, it's worth a try:



Btw I'll definitely have a private veto sesh, as I know only 'Something Better' (but not this remix) and usually there are some goodies hidden here dance.gif

The fanbase would've guaranteed him a Q. My 12 alone would've been a great help. But yeah, I agree with the veto. A bit too cheap and like a third of the people would've known the song prior to the contest.

Yeah, had to to give it a go, every month there are 1-2 cheap entries going through that the mind boggles, so there was a slight chance of me making it. I think a third of the people doesn't know 'Should Have Known Better' (that would mean 20-22 participants, that's a lot), but I totally understand the veto.
Unfortunately my backup is nowhere to be found online (youtube and soundcloud, at least) - so I went with the song I planned to enter in BJSC 90 - this one's definitely not a veto, but I'll need certain people in my semi, otherwise I'll flop Land of DW-style.
Btw. I'm not good at being vetoed... I couldn't modify my original form, so I submitted a new one - is it ok like this or should I modify the original form somehow?

Posted by: LINDSΞY 2nd October 2016, 07:53 PM

it would be the case that the month I planned on leaving is when I have like three songs I'm kinda stuck between, I haven't been this inspired in so long. I think it might be one of those times where you've just got to go with your first instinct (a pop bassy bangaaa from a Portugese band) but then again I'm utterly obsessed with this cute but edgy indie rock song but Idk how BJSC friendly that is. One of my faves have a new project and they've been teasing a new song all week that sounds like a really solid, upbeat pop-rock jam from the preview but they've not said when the full version is coming out cry.gif

Posted by: Jade 4th October 2016, 09:52 AM

This is one of those songs I definitely agree with on the 'BuzzJack following' front. I seem to remember it featuring in lots of personal charts/EOY countdowns and being played on plug.dj a lot last year as well. GREAT song but does already seem a bit established on here.

Posted by: danG 4th October 2016, 10:04 AM

Maybe not the artist so much but 'Delirious' the song deffo has a huge following amongst BJSC participants (even I had it in my personal chart last year).

Well actually Sundfør is currently in the Buzzjack Multichart as a featured artist on the Röyksopp song soooo maybe she does have a following?

Delirious is utterly beautiful and a song definitely worthy of further listens and analysis (even after it being so high for me in my EoY, that it has some rather metal-esque progression for an alt pop song always impresses me), definitely a clear veto though as it was the first time it was vetoed, easily the song I've seen people talking about most from that wonderful album.

Chris if you have extenuating circumstances that means you will struggle to vote then do PM us in advance of the semis opening with a good reason why and we can do our best to accommodate you!

This goes for everyone, if you ever have issues that could prevent you voting (e.g. the Desbuanda scenario last time round) then please PM us ahead of a deadline opening or closing (whichever is relevant) so then we have something proper and therefore we can waive deductions. We don't want to give deductions, so official notice ahead of time is all we need with a decent reason!

Posted by: Bradders 4th October 2016, 06:08 PM

Only just seen my veto, reconfirmed as I've literally just got in from work, don't know if it's too late.

Posted by: Bré 4th October 2016, 06:11 PM

It's not too late! We have to give last minute vetoes 24 hours to reconfirm anyway ~ (and we're still waiting to hear back from one more person but it looks like Pagasa are withdrawing)

Posted by: Ryan. 4th October 2016, 06:11 PM

Nope that's absolutely fine!

So there is still a chance that we're getting semis up tonight?

Posted by: Jade 4th October 2016, 06:36 PM

We're just waiting on Oslol to reconfirm (as it looks like Pagasa have dropped out now), so possibly if imaduck comes online and reconfirms something suitable soon.

I am really looking forward to this. Buzzjack Mountain national thread didn't do considerations so I have no idea how well its song will do. I really like the song in question though, discovered it early this year and haven't tired of it despite numerous listens so was an.easy choice for me and my nation of Buzzjackian Mountaineers.

Semis obviously not happening today now as we still await the SOS reaching imaduck ~ Will definitely be opening tomorrow though, apols for the delay.

I assume no one was going to not be able to vote after tonight/tomorrow morning so I will keep the voting deadline as it is, since Tuesday is the day that works the best for results.

EDIT: oh that was poorly timed!

Posted by: Bré 4th October 2016, 10:21 PM

Posted by: 152chris 5th October 2016, 12:55 PM

i thought w 2 AQs are assigned a semi each to vote in, non ?

i don't rly have extenuating circumstances i'm just on holiday and would rather only have to spend time listening to 30 songs instead of 70 !! but it's v #firstworldproblems so i don't wanna be demanding

Posted by: Bré 5th October 2016, 01:21 PM

That has happened sometimes but for a few years now the AQs have always voted in both semis (apart from the time FARC were an AQ and didn't vote in either of them lol ~) - I'd be happy to just make an exception and give you and Jake one semi each this time considering your limited Internet access but I'd need the mods to approve that.

In summary: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Am working on the semis thread now btw! Have a few new countryballs to draw ~ (#00274E's is going to look awful and I apologise in advance)

Posted by: Silas 5th October 2016, 04:55 PM

Well, seeing as the one of the few people that it actually matters is happy with any arrangements made is online; lets make some!

The rules have been very carefully written, deliberately so, to instil areas of flexibility. One such area is this one. There is no rule that both AQ's must vote in both Semi-Finals. It's a long established convention that they do so as part of the trade off for bypassing the semi's and because at the root of it all we are all about discovering new music. The reason there's no rule is because on occasion it's not practical to do that and it then allows us to be a little flexible.

The two options we have are

1) Nobody Auto-qualfies (it is optional after-all) and everyone votes where they've been assigned. Usual penalties for non-voting apply
2) Each AQ has 1 semi final to vote in and the 15% deduction for not voting in the other semi final is waived provided you vote.

As option one involves losing your AQ status, Chris the decision is yours alone (consult your twin if you wish, idc, just as long as you let us know from your account which option to take). I very much doubt that option 1 will be taken but I prefer to give everyone the full range of options available to them. I'm a whole picture kind of person.
