BJSC 153: Noelle - Cold Killer You're a cold killer looking for a heart to break And I swear you were just another stupid mistake And I won't come back, baby I'm done lying awake You're a cold killer, screaming at the top of my lungs And I know that I'm not the only one You aimed in on me like a loaded gun So fire away Well... This is apparently a former Popjustice winner I'm pretty sure me unintentionally sending a Popjustice winner has happened before too, so this is probably not a new situation
It's a good song tho! Found it awhile back through youtube recomended and i've been pretty much hooked on it since. Hope you enjoy! |

BJSC 155: So Chan Whee - Tears Let's regard this as if nothing had happened Let's regard each other as strangers Aren't you able to release me? You should forget me, I know it won't be easy for you But my heart aches because I know you're waiting for me Perfomance Version aka the "high note song". Now, this song is very well known in the K-Pop sphere. Not only because it is a genuine hit and beloved, but also because many idols have covered the song in interviews, radio shows, variety shows and in performances. I first got to know this song when EXO's Chen covered it on the variety show Knowing Brothers like 5 or so years ago. Hope y'all enjoy!

BJSC 156: Lucy Camp - In The Night Nights are better in the dead of Like the way your bed is set up Dancing silhouettes do duets Let’s do it in no get up Said something at ten and then ya Got me at eleven when the Moon was in a state of beauty I just had to lift my head up Every time we kiss I get a Feeling I can’t skip ahead of I just need the night and you but I don’t know if it’ll let us Never know if it’ll let us If it'll let us I know that the day don’t like us But the night would if it met us So, we decided to recycle this time. Desbuanda - Come back etc. (;_;), sent Lucy Camp with "The Heart Dies" in the first contest (95) I competed in. post-bjsc 95 "The Heart Dies" became one of my most listened to songs from that era, and I consider it one of my absolute favourite discoveries from this contest. Desbuanda themselves went on to become one of my most pointed countries throughout the contests we competed in together - it was rare for me to not vote for one of their entries (at the time this also included Unovia, Quintessa and Persephonia). "In The Night" is one of the songs by her that I have loved for a while, hopefully this one also resonates with some people!

I actually don't really remember the Desbuanda entry from her but I might need to give it a relisten because I loved this one <3

BJSC 157: Niniola - Addicted You know what i need You know i need it I'm so addicted I mean I can't live without it By far one of our favorite contests this year <3 . Unfortunately, our chosen artist from Nigeria could not quite keep up - but the discoveries that I made this contest more then made up for it. ~~~ Foreign Language III: Lido Pimienta ft. Li Saumet – Nada I'll be sincere with you and I'm not afraid Of death, if it wants me I'll wait for it here and smile I carry the pain inside I carry the pain, it's present I'm a woman of moon blood Of Earth, salt and dune Without pity, without a doubt I carry the pain inside From one wonderful contest to another! We took part in the third edition of the Foreign Language Spin-off and sent Colombian artists Lido Pimienta and Li Saumet (known from Bomba Estéreo). The end result was 10th, which is more than good enough – thank you to everyone who voted! ~~~ BJSC 158: Fefe Dobson - Ghost What's her name? What's she like? I should warn her that you'll never do her right All your games, all your lies I need to tell her, maybe I can change her mind You act like you just saw a ghost I watched you getting way too close Now I know why you're never there Now I know, so it's my turn to disappear You act like you just saw a ghost I caught you Now I know Decided to go Canadian again and send another song called “Ghost”. Fefe Dobson is fairly known is her home-country. The song itself falls under the pop-rock umbrella which I feel like might have been quite popular during the time of its release – at the very least among the Disney girls. Just received some intel that this has been on drag race? wasn't aware of that but yay for that .

Instrumentals II: Takeharu Ishimoto - The Price of Freedom "The price of freedom is steep." - Zack Fair Pleased to say that this was a fun contest to host! Would have liked to do a little better with this song - but it does fit my theme of hosting and landing in the bottom 3 ~~~ BJSC 159: Awich - Queendom The suspect is on the run, I'm confused It's not you, That's not true You gave me your word If you love me to death Then live, you liar So, we are staying in Japan. From Okinawa here is Awich with "Queendom". The song describes her life from leaving Okinawa to Atlanta in the the 2000's, where she met her husband and how he was incarcerated and later murdered. which lead to her being a single mother and moving back Japan where she later started her artist career.

BJSC 160: Annie - American Cars (Richard X Edit) Going into the night Like a flash in the dark See the tears in our eyes Fall of glittering stars In American cars I’ll let go of the wheel And take hold of my heart So before we crash Kiss me under the stars In American cars Performance Version It has been awhile since I have sent someone from Norway. Annie is a Norwegian singer, DJ and songwriter. The song "American Cars" itself is part of the album Dark Hearts. |

Christmas V: Sandra Lyng - Julefantasi The star shines, but does it really shine here? With cold cheeks she stands among frozen trees And hear another melody about a Christmas fantasy Which is so beautiful, but it was never mine They sang happy Christmas, peace on our earth While I picked up the angel that was crushed yesterday They sang happy Christmas, heaven on earth While the tears fell silently I want to feel the warmth, joy and hope I Want to be in your Christmas fantasy Had to actually translate this one myself haha. Not the happiest song I'll admit, but it's one the songs that hits just a little bit harder as one grow older. ~~~ BJSC 161: Ria Hall - Te Ahi Kai Pō My peace is found My heart is still I feel your presence As the fire burns away the darkness "Te Ahi Kai Pō (The Fire Burning Away The Darkness)" is in reference to finding peace following the aftermath of war. The battle of Te Ranga in June of 1864 is the inspiration for this song, which was an unplanned slaughter of many Māori. This attack was in retaliation to the battle of Pukehinahina, where the British found themselves at a loss to The Māori. The song is from New Zealand, sung fully in the Māori language.

Veto: Jacqline - Effortless Call the police 'cause you just stole my heart First veto in yearssssss. This is on me tho, had no idea she had participated with this song in melodifestivalen ~~~ BJSC 164: Infinity Song - Slow Burn It's a long walk on a rainy day It's the sad song that you put on replay It's the distance between New York and LA It's sitting alone in the back of a cafe Keep it going 'til the morning Fan the flames and keep on burning This is your lo-lo-love story It's a slow, slow burn Anyway, we are back again for this contest with "Slow Burn" by the sibling vocal group Infinity Song. This was a discovery I made earlier this year and has been on repeat with a few of their other songs from the album Metamorphosis. All very introspective, calming and fun, not often I listen to an whole album these days.
As for our future participation in the contest... idk. I've ended up taking a few more responsibilities at work. Additionally, I've been drowning in essays and deadlines the last few months and i'm currently facing several important exams starting in a few weeks. So, I haven't really had much time to sit down and actually listen to music and rank them accordingly, or really found a way to balance it all yet for any future participation. (As for my non-voting in 161, I lowkey forgot about the deadline and went out with friends... opps ) |

BJSC 166: Damaris - Tusuykusun Se oyen los cantos, me anuncia el viento ¡Kusikuy, sunqu! Que el camino ya está muy cerca ¡Kusikuy, sunqu! Que la noche ya está aclarando Lotunia is back, back, back again – and this time we are returning to my birth country Perú. Why? Well, I spent almost a month in Peru a little while ago, and one of the songs I heard there was "Tusuykusun" ("Let's Dance"). A song that i consider a childhood memory that still holds up even today. Damaris, originally from Huancayo in the Andes region mixes the two languages Quechua and Spanish in her song while showcasing traditional Peruvian music beautifully. Hope you enjoy
