'Open Heart' sounded pretty great in the sunshine today, Jordan . Rooting for it to be a rare Harmonican qualifier but of course can't do anything to help make that happen due to random.org's continued disdain for the Harmbuanda alliance. The question is tho: will you give it your 18
I'd forgotten how much I like Lissie's voice <3 (actually I'd forgotten about Lissie altogether so cheers for inadvertedly reminding me of 'When I'm Alone' among other gems of hers)! |

This is the most replies we've ever had with an entry!! Keep hyping please <3
I think Dance Anthems is 1BF so you don't have to worry about that not DNQ'ing. I hope that hair flip is a sign of you Rapunzeling some points in our direction (in the spin-off at least)!Morgan Page had a song featured on Teen Wolf so glad to see that impacting Harmonica *hair flip* Also: no shit an artist has had a song featured on Teen Wolf, it seems to feature whatever it can get its hands on. Back when I used to watch it I once spotted Echosmith and Cardiknox (two consecutive BJSC entrants of mine, after I'd entered them) in the same episode. Thanks Iz!(oh and for Jordan, good luck with Morgan Page, I like him) 'Open Heart' sounded pretty great in the sunshine today, Jordan . Rooting for it to be a rare Harmonican qualifier but of course can't do anything to help make that happen due to random.org's continued disdain for the Harmbuanda alliance. I hope to listen in the sunshine later! Personally I prefer Desbuonica (we each get 5 letters )I'd forgotten how much I like Lissie's voice <3 (actually I'd forgotten about Lissie altogether so cheers for inadvertedly reminding me of 'When I'm Alone' among other gems of hers)! When I'm Alone has got to be her best |

*We sent "Love War" to YBO: Rejects and it finished in the bottom 5. It's only disappointing because pretty much all of our other DNQs would have done even worse "Ladies" would have smashed but we're saving that for the official Rejects at the end of the year. Be sure to nominate it!!!*
Jocelyn Alice "Jackpot" LXXVII Desperate times call for desperate measures, and desperate measures called for a journey to Canada, where this song was discovered and Jocelyn Alice was invited to represent Harmonica in its continuing quest to reach a final. The title is quite apt as we feel we've struck gold with this entry. Make this a reality for us and vote for her!! |

Jocelyn Alice "Jackpot" LXXVII: 37th Finishing 37th out of 42 doesn't really fit the theme of "hitting the jackpot" but we'll definitely take this as our best result and first qualifier since March. Harmonica was definitely in the right semifinal, finishing 10th there. The countries in Semi 2 just didn't take to it! Anyway we have these nations to thank for contributing points to our Jackpot: 15 points: Federal Republic of Ashton, Joedonia 13 points: Sandeborg 12 points: Pupok 11 points: Fljotavik, New Lexico 10 points: Bellamia, Florina 5 points: Cor Lupus, Singerpurear 4 points: Isconia, Taahino 3 points: Ajanaeda 2 points: N-Lazone Ashton pulls farther ahead on our points received list! Formation of an alliance is going very smoothly indeed. Also, Harmonica has withdrawn from participating in spin-offs until further notice. With these happening more frequently now we will have to be selective about which ones we can afford to compete in. |

Phases "I'm In Love With My Life" LXXVIII Come and lose yourself a little while. Take a chance and let your body move. Feeling good ain't going out of style. We don't need a rhyme or reason. It's a love you can't explain. I'm in love with my life. |

Phases "I'm In Love With My Life" LXXVIII: 24th What a result! Our entry barely scraped through to the final, actually being announced as a DNQ before a spreadsheet error was pointed out. We were then projected to finish last in the final, but the votes kept coming in and we finished 25th out of 42 (then being bumped up another place due to a disqualification)! Thanks to Ryan, Lee, and Cody Slayberry for sorting out the error (and Florina for breaking the tie that got us through!) so our song could really reach its potential in the final. Here are the countries who gave points to Harmonica this month: 18 points: Federal Republic of Ashton 15 points: Florina, Tartford 13 points: Singerpurear 12 points: Oslol, Terra Avium 11 points: Qarenfänghoney, Ramrynia 10 points: Farathyn, Skall 9 points: Flynnonda 5 points: Tinnmark 3 points: Aquafina, Séyetana, Unovia 2 points: Summericia 1 point: Yehesi Harmonica is currently pressing its luck in the UK Chart Near Misses spin-off, with the All-American Rejects' best song "Move Along". It wouldn't take much for this to be our biggest spin-off success to date, but we'll see! |

Rachael Lampa "Avalanche" LXXIX Last time we competed in Mulgracia (then known as Jamvale) we sent an all-time fave and regretted it hugely when it flopped. But now we're back and going to try it again with another tune of life! The timing seems right, with similarly-named Rachel Platten smashing charts with similar adult-contemporary prowess, and with Harmonica having its first ever Q streak! But most of our potential support seems to be in the opposite semi. We want to qualify more than ever so every country gets a chance to hear this song! |

Rachael Lampa "Avalanche" LXXIX: 39th "Avalanche" didn't quite get an avalanche of votes, only 11 in total but 8 of them were for 10 or more points. This not only kept Rachael out of last place but gave Harmonica the highest average score of this contest, with 10.6! Our nation has deemed this a success as we have surprisingly managed 5 qualifying songs in 2015! We have a small list of countries to thank this time: 18 points: Ramrynia 15 points: Bellamia, FSR Rontvia 13 points: Federal Republic of Ashton 12 points: Altyr Muunilinst 11 points: Hushkanukia 10 points: Mulgracia, N-Lazone 7 points: Sandeborg 5 points: Ultraviolenceland 1 point: Botannika Full points given/points received updates will be done following BJSC 80. |

Ben Hazlewood "Wanted" LXXX: did not qualify Just like a year ago, we finish off the BJSC season with a New Zealand artist! Last year we sent a six-year-old song, whereas our current entry was released just three weeks before the contest opened, our first time sending a brand new song. This one has a huge amount of power (especially in the chorus, rather "Too Close"-esque) but somehow didn't stand out enough to come even close to qualifying. |

HARMONICA'S FAVORITE ENTRIES OF 2015
1. Hushkanukia - Daniella Mason "Shade Of You" 2. Desbuanda - Eves The Behavior "TV" 3. Persephonia - A-WA "Habib Galbi" 4. Patvia - Koven "Miracle" 5. Yehesi - Yellow Claw feat. Ayden "Till It Hurts" 6. Aeroche - Kove feat. Moko "Hurts" 7. PRoJ - Everything Everything "Distant Past" 8. Jayrusalem - Bonnie Anderson "Unbroken" 9. Hushkanukia - PVRIS "St. Patrick" 10. Jayrusalem - Adam Rickfors feat. Marylin "Heartbeats" Surprise! Only four of these songs received our top points, as some of these were massive growers after the contest. But all ten have repeatedly slayed us in some shape or form, none more so than Daniella Mason as "Shade Of You" led me to the rest of her music which has perhaps been the best discovery I've made all year, both in- and outside BJSC. But all of these songs, I could not give enough praise to if I tried. Songs 11-50 will be coming later! I'm not giving out any clues! |

Pesky Hushkanukia swiping another victory from Eves.
Nah, I of course can completely get behind that #1 and actually prefer it to 'TV' (*Noahstalgia spoiler* OMG ). That top three is utterly flaw-free in fact. I also really like 'Miracle', 'Distant Past', 'Unbroken' and 'St. Patrick' so it's a v nice list so far~ (Love the fact you're revealing your 11-50 after your top 10 lol. Who needs a climax when you can have a good count |
