Marianas Trench - Celebrity Status
Everyone here in Azure thought long and hard about this decision, there were many debates and conflicts surrounding our debut entry but in the end we came to a decision. Marianas Trench are a much loved band here with 'Celebrity Status' coming in as the favourite song, so we thought it only fitting to use something that has brought us much happiness (and terrible dancing in our rooms) this year! I hope everyone enjoys it as much as we do
Posted by: Jacob Alan Jan 15 2017, 10:49 PM
This song!
Great choice, best of luck with your debut entry!

Posted by: Cody Slayberry Jan 22 2017, 08:58 PM
I'm predicting you'll go down the route of me and Dobbo and qualify on your first five contests! Congrats!
Posted by: The-BrightPlaces Jan 22 2017, 09:18 PM
thanks guys now to fulfil my purpose of being on this site and finish above Trifoski! I hope so Cody, that would be awesome
Posted by: Izetta Jan 22 2017, 09:20 PM
Rooting for you to do it and beat Trifoski *.* It took Jacob 8 contests to beat me so doing it in one contest would be very impressive.
yes i just wanted to brag a little before I get rekked when I see him tomorrow
Posted by: The-BrightPlaces Jan 22 2017, 09:22 PM
thanks Iz! I'm not sure Azure will do it this time but hopefully in the next couple if not

If this is your sole ambition then so be it, i'll see you next week for results *.* but I suggest you don't go getting any delusions of grandeur, the truth is you'll never come close to my status as a BJSC legend!
Posted by: ʟɪɴᴅsᴇ Jan 22 2017, 10:01 PM
What's a Trifoski?

Posted by: Bré Jan 23 2017, 12:06 AM
Glad to see your first entry qualifying, reminds me a lot of Fall Out Boy. I approve. (although this cannot beat Trifoski I'm afraid ~~)

maybe not, but you've been here for 5 years and I've been here 5 months so let's give it some time

Thanks Bré but come on have some hope, Trifoski's entry can't be THAT good..
Posted by: The-BrightPlaces Jan 29 2017, 10:24 PM
well what can I say, although we came last in the final Azure is very happy to have qualified in the first place We can only look forward to future contests now and hope to get a better result from those! Now to pick next months entry..
Oh and a big thanks to all the countries that voted - Ramrynia, Flynnonda, Tinnmark, Harmonica, Séyetana, Aelandor and Taahino without you we will have seriously flopped
Posted by: Jacob Alan Jan 30 2017, 02:52 AM
So unjustified coming last but like you say at least you qualified (it took me six contests before I got ones of those ). Looking forward to seeing what you have next month!
Posted by: Riser Jan 30 2017, 03:09 AM
I vaguely recognized your entry during the semi-final, have been to Canada a few times and most likely heard it on the radio there. Never really cared much for Marianas Trench but that past exposure must have helped as it was quite the standout in our semi! Take it from me, you'll have fun improving your career peak in future contests

Really liked this, a shame to see it DNQ.
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds Feb 19 2017, 09:33 PM
Agree, it's the type of song that takes me back to being 6 or 7 really wish it had made the Final

French Horn Rebellion - Dancing Out (ft. Jody Watley, Young Empires)
We went a bit different this month rather than our usual punk/rock, this is such a tune though and we hope everyone enjoys it
Posted by: lotita Mar 13 2017, 04:19 PM
this is so fab!!!

Posted by: Chez Wombat Mar 18 2017, 09:30 PM
Well, this was a rather surprising change of pace after your last two entries! Really liking it though, very retro and feels like a lost song from the La La Land soundtrack, hope it does well for you ;o
Posted by: Cody Slayberry Mar 18 2017, 10:51 PM
This almost gives me The 1975 feels!
I swear I've heard of these guys before, I just don't know where... maybe something I found from SoundCloud?

I know I decided to mix things up a bit, I'll probably be changing my genres around from now on tbh so don't be expecting pop punk/rock for a while thanks Chez!

I know I can see where you're coming from! they've done quite a few collabs too so maybe one of those
Posted by: VindaLeww Mar 19 2017, 01:49 AM
this will be a hit
v smart choice, with the names involved im not surprised its good!
Posted by: The-BrightPlaces Mar 19 2017, 01:56 AM
lewwwww bae thank you!x
Posted by: The-BrightPlaces Mar 26 2017, 09:43 PM
7th!!! WOOOHOOO!! after our first two entries flopped its v nice to get a top 10 now let's see what we have in store for next month
Posted by: Jade Mar 26 2017, 09:44 PM
Congrats Alanna! 7th place is a great finish. Your song just kept hitting me harder with each listen until it got all the way up to 11 points
Posted by: Jacob Alan Mar 26 2017, 10:18 PM
Well done on your first top 10 Alanna!! It's really nice to see you doing so well, and with a great song too.
Posted by: The-BrightPlaces Mar 27 2017, 02:22 PM
thanks so much Jade and Jacob
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds Mar 27 2017, 05:09 PM

Gnucci - Finders Keepers
We decided to go with a bit of rap this time, it's one of our favourite genres here at Azure so it's about time we submitted some
Posted by: Bré 🐱 Apr 14 2017, 01:45 AM
I wouldn't have guessed you would be into this kind of thing tbh! Quite a bop though *.*

Yeasayer - Ambling Alp
So in honour of Trifoski hosting this contest, the people here at Azure thought it fitting to send an artist previously sent by them. Ambling Alp had been in our potentials list for the last couple of contests before we realised Trifoski had sent Yeasayer before, and if it wasn't for Suedeonia confirming Bleachers before us () we might not have got around to submitting it! So let's see if it works out in our favour! Also the video is rather..let's say unique, and it features some naked people running at the end so ya'll are welcome x
Posted by: Dobbo May 20 2017, 09:52 AM
This is fantastic! I had heard their song O.N.E. before but this is even better, great discovery.

Patent Pending - Hey Mario
well well, this was my favourite song a few years ago and the moment I heard it I became obsessed. I think the lyrics are genius and have just the right about of wit and cheekiness to make the song that more entertaining! this is probably my favourite Azure entry so far, mainly because I decided to just go with something I love without considering how well it would do in the contest/if it would do better than Trifoski, and I think I'm gonna start doing that more often now. So I hope everyone is ready to hear what my music taste is really like, and I hope you enjoy this first peek into it, I sure as hell will
Posted by: Bré Jul 5 2017, 03:34 AM
Yass I endorse this attitude x
This song is a lot better than a pop punk track about Mario ought to be *_*
Posted by: The-BrightPlaces Jan 26 2018, 10:57 PM
we ready for 2018 x
Posted by: Bré Jan 28 2018, 11:05 PM
'Imaginary Parties' is like the funkiest thing ever. A hit pls x
Posted by: Jade Jan 29 2018, 12:26 AM
Omg I was wondering who the hell Superfruit were because they keep popping up on Spotify after I've finished listening to songs (payola???) - I'm kinda stunned to learn that they're a Pentatonix-related project I didn't think Pentatonix seemed like my thing from the very little I've heard of them, but 'Imaginary Parties' is very much up my street. A great start to the year for Azure *.*
