They could be a country like most others that send different "kinds of songs" ~ and is dance the ONLY way to get points from you? sad.gif

Honestly, I probably wont enter a lot of dance music, but then again you never know happy.gif
I like a lot of different types of music so I will try and keep versatile...

I'm excited to finally share Taahino's début entry in the seventy-third BuzzJack Song Contest!

Taahino have decided to go with a bit of Pop-Rock!
This is a band that I instantly became obsessed with after I saw them live whilst they were supporting Tonight Alive on their UK tour last November, it felt only right to chose a band that I personally love as Taahino's first BJSC entry because if it doesn't qualify then at least I've shared some of the music I and the people of Taahino like! wub.gif laugh.gif

The Summer Set
Lightning in a Bottle


Posted by: CDC 13th March 2015, 04:59 PM

this song is AMAZING! i have loved the summer set for years now and this arguably my FAVE song of theirs heart.gif

Posted by: Jay ジ 15th March 2015, 05:56 AM

Love your entry! Hope it does well for you.

And random but your nation was established on my birthday. biggrin.gif

Great debut entry cheer.gif May luck be with you smile.gif

Posted by: It's Lindsey 16th March 2015, 11:09 PM

Taahino managed to qualify from semi final two! yahoo.gif

Thanks to all of you who supported Lightning In A Bottle and I hope you still do through the rest of the BJSC wub.gif

Good Luck everyone! happy.gif heart.gif

Nice one Lindsey! Particularly great that you can participate fully in your brother's contest!

Really liking the song by the way. happy.gif

Introducing Taahino's entry into BJSC LXXIV....

We've decided to go with another pop-rock song, I found this band through a song by Pierce The Veil called Hold On Till May (some of you may have seen in in my personal chart before kink.gif ) Lindsey Stamey, the lead vocalist of the band I've picked for this months contest features on Hold On Till May, I really love that song so I thought I'd look into who Lindsey Stamey was and if she released music of her own or if the song with PTV was just a one off thing, but to my delight it turns out she fronted an awesome band! wub.gif



Oh No Fiasco
All Systems Go





Posted by: It's Lindsey 13th April 2015, 09:38 PM

All Systems Go qualified! yahoo.gif

Thanks to everyone who voted for Taahino, here's hoping you still like the song even more when voting in the final commences wink.gif heart.gif


Posted by: Lindsey ♌ 6th May 2015, 09:39 PM

I guess it's time to announce Taahino's 3rd BJSC entry cheer.gif

We've decided to continue with the theme of rock bands but this time our entry is described as symphonic rock cool.gif
This particular track is one of their 'poppiest' I guess you could say, but it's really catchy so I hope people enjoy it! They are a very unique band, taking inspiration from artists like Fall Out Boy and also N-Sync, sounds like a weird mix but this band pull it off so well and hopefully that makes them stand out in the contest. I came across them about a month ago when they popped up as a related artist to some of my favourite bands on Spotify, I then started listening to their music, as well as some of their covers and became obsessed, I went out and bought their album shortly after and it honestly is one of my all time favourites wub.gif

Set It Off
Forever Stuck In Our Youth



Posted by: Iz~ 6th May 2015, 09:55 PM

I initially started listening to Why Worry when I was getting into them (which was pretty much just after you showed me the Uptown Funk cover kink.gif), which is amazing and anthemic, but after taking a couple of listens to this, this might be an even better song from them. Hope it can be a third qualification in a row for you!

Thanks Iz, I'm glad you like them biggrin.gif I narrowed it down to like four songs from their Duality album, Why Worry was one of them as was Ancient History thinking that they or Forever Stuck In Our Youth would get the best reception on here but I think Wolf In Sheeps Clothing is my favourite from that album but anyone who I've got to listen to it doesn't like it as much as Forever Stuck In Our Youth laugh.gif

Their Problem cover tops the Uptown Funk one imo angel.gif


Posted by: Lindsey ♌ 14th May 2015, 09:32 PM

Third time UNlucky for Taahino, Perseventyfive unfortunately marks the end of our short qualification streak sad.gif

We look forward to seeing how the final pans out cheer.gif Good luck everyone! wub.gif

It's time to reveal out BJSC 77 entry!

KYKO - Animals





A bit different for Taahino genre wise, but hopefully it will be more successful than our previous two entries biggrin.gif

Posted by: ℓindsey ♫ 8th September 2015, 05:20 PM

For BJSC 77 Taahino have gone with...

Big Data - Dangerous ft. Joywave



there is an official music video for this song that has over 8 million views, but it's pretty gory and sexualised and I hate it a lot and I thought it would put people off the song which is why I went with a link to a less-popular audio only video laugh.gif

Posted by: N💎lly. S 8th September 2015, 05:56 PM

I quite liked that disturbing gore-fest. magic.gif But yay for you entering this! music.gif

Posted by: Cody Slayberry 8th September 2015, 06:19 PM

I played the actual video on plug a few times tho sad.gif

Posted by: ℓindsey ♫ 17th September 2015, 04:42 PM

oh yea, i forgot that it's bjsc ettiquette to update these things because it's been so long since I qualified angel.gif

yes, Taahino actually end their DNQ streak here!! cheer.gif

Posted by: Bré 17th September 2015, 04:46 PM

You don't seem to have acknowledged your crowning achievement of 6th place in Worldvision yet either! kink.gif

Congrats on making it to the final again anyway! Looking up the music video for your song actually made me like it more tbh. I don't think a bit of blood is that offputting, didn't seem to harm Audrey Napoleon magic.gif

Posted by: ℓindsey ♫ 17th September 2015, 04:58 PM

Thanks Bre biggrin.gif All update now!

Posted by: Lindsey ♌ 5th November 2015, 05:56 PM

So we came 36th in BJSC 79 with I Like It by We The Kings happy.gif

BJSC 80 | Courage My Love - Skin and Bone (L3 Remix)



[left to right: Brandon Lockwood (bass), Mercedes Arn-Horn (lead vocals, guitar) and Pheonix Arn-Horn (drums, backing vocals)]

Taahino are excited to introduce our entry into the final contest of 2015! Courage My Love are a Canadian pop-punk trio that have been on my potentials list for most of the year, except with another song by them called Kerosene. I stumbled across this when I was adding more of their music to my Spotify library a couple of months ago and found they have an EP with different remixes of one of their "Becoming" tracks, Skin and Bone. I think this song is stunning, I love it so much, this remixed version adds so much more to an already lovely song, it may actually be my 2nd favourite Taahinian entry so far, and I really hope you all like it as much happy.gif


Posted by: Iz~ 13th November 2015, 05:24 PM

Oh yes now I recognise the name! I've had them on my radar for a while, good to see them entered. Looking forward to properly hearing this now, it sounds good from hearing it once, I hope it grows well.

What a lovely top 20. There's me of course but also PVRIS, R-Chord, AK & LYNX, Meg Myers, New Politics, Son Lux, Twenty One Pilots, in fact, all of those are good entries. And about the right winner for your entry rank although Oh No Fiasco is really too low.

Posted by: CodySleighBell-y 12th December 2015, 03:25 PM

I'm surprised Five Knives is your favorite out of all my entries.

Poor "Slow Dancing", I thought that was one of Pupok's best entries to date.

Yea, Oh No Fiasco is one of my favourite entries and one which I thought a lot of people would catch onto, in hindsight I maybe picked the wrong song by them but then Idk what one I would have sent instead as they're all so good laugh.gif

ooh really laugh.gif As much as I love West End Kids, I just love the energy etc in Savages, it has more of an edge to it in comparison biggrin.gif

I like all of Pupok's entries but Slow Dancing is my least favourite, probably because it's a lot dancier than her other entries. Margaux Avril almost didn't make my chart but I just feel it's such a pretty song and very underrated for what it is heart.gif Black Out Days though >>>>

Posted by: Michael Bubré 12th December 2015, 03:35 PM

Ooh yay a top 50 place! <3

Good showing for Sleeping With Sirens, v underrated ~

Posted by: Slade 12th December 2015, 04:46 PM

Ooh I knew you were a fan of 'Virtual Paradise' but not quite to the extent of a top 10 EOY placing! I'm so happy to see that you loved it so much. wub.gif

The results of your own entries is pretty pleasing too! Really glad to see 'Dangerous' as high as third as that's the one in particular that has grabbed me this year.

I actually thought you might have placed them as the highest out of my entries because you admitted that NP were a potential artist of yours though I could say the same thing about Joywave. I've been thinking about sending "Somebody New" to a contest at one point but I just never found the right moment, and a remix of "Golden State" was one of my potentials.

*Announcement*

So the first contest of 2016 is just around the corner but 2015 has brought a lot for Taahino (not a BJSC win no, but still wink.gif). Our nation was established in February, we made our BuzzJack Song Contest debut the following month, we found our rock bloc sound pretty quickly but still experimented a little between spin-offs and the main contest. Next year Taahino will develop and grow and come into each contest bigger and better than before (I hope kink.gif) SO to mark this new era that we are about to venture into, the people of Taahino felt an image change was necessary.

Introducing the new national flag of Taahino...

keep on with the BJSC entries, I always enjoy Taahino tunes

Posted by: SantasLindsleigh 20th December 2015, 01:07 AM

Taahino did better than expected in The Best Of Rejects contest! KYKO - Animals finished 25th and Set It Off - Forever Stuck In Our Youth came 2nd!! I can't described how happy I am about Set It Off's placing, excluding spin-offs, FSIOY is my favourite entry that I've sent this year, and I adore Set It Off so I was really sad at them not qualifying back when I entered them into the main contest, however that doesn't matter now as it did better than any of my songs have this year happy.gif

Thanks again to those who have pointed Taahino through out the year wub.gif

BJSC 81

Tonight Alive - How Does It Feel?




It's about time we sent some Tonight Alive and with the release of their new album approaching, now is the best time to do so! I can't describe how much I love this band and I really hope people catch onto them this month with what we've sent! wub.gif

Posted by: ℒ𝓲𝓷⻤ 16th February 2016, 01:36 AM

I updated the main post with how Tonight Alive did in the final of '81 but I never actually posted about it kink.gif so in case you did miss it, How Does It Feel placed 18th giving Taahino a new peak record for the main contest!! heart.gif cheer.gif

______

So can we improve on that at all with our entry into BJSC 82? ohmy.gif

Crystalyne - Punks Don't Dance




Taahino are kind of recycling with this as I sent a much rockier song by them into the last nuggets contest, I discovered this track back then when I was looking for an entry and I really liked it but felt it wasn't quite right for Nuggets but I also thought it was even too poppy for BJSC so never really regarded it as a potential, but it has caught the attention of a few of you on here when I've played it randomly so I thought why not represent the pop-rock genre once again but try my luck with a song that leans more on the pop side.

*Announcement*

Taahino has undergone some political changes. The people of Taahino felt they could no longer run themselves and needed a strong figure head to lead us to victory (hopefully) in BJSC and also establish ourselves as one of BuzzJacks most loved nations. It's with great honour to announce that http://the100.wikia.com/wiki/Lexa is the leader we have been longing for and has welcomed us with open arms as the thirteenth http://the100.wikia.com/wiki/The_Grounders_(Earth) clan. We're also the first clan to exist as part of the Kongeda that's situated overseas and not under the capital of Polis. This has been an extremely positive change that was introduced at the beginning of the year, Heda felt that we needed a 'trial period' of sorts before solidifying our place as the thirteenth clan given their problems with the past thirteenth clan and the fact we're situated further away from the capital than the other 12 clans, hence why this announcement is coming now, just before the next contest. We've also adopted the native grounder tongue of http://the100.wikia.com/wiki/Trigedasleng_(language) as some of you may have noticed.



I realise this will mean near enough nothing to most of you unless you watch The 100 oops

Oh and we came 12th with Evanescence - Bring Me To Life in the BuzzJack 10 Year Anniversary Contest! cheer.gif

BJSC 83 | SEVEN LIONS - LOSE MYSELF FT. LYNN GUNN




Taahino have finally dived into the POOL of the dance bloc after merely dipping our toes in at the end of 2015. Jeff Montalvo, aka Seven Lions is the artist that has managed to temporarily~ convert us, and not only because Lyndsey Gunnulfsen aka Lynn Gunn aka PVRIS' vocalist is featured wink.gif This song is one that I've loved for a while now and has been a Taahinian potential since May last year, I still adore it so I'm glad to finally be sharing it via the contest! happy.gif

Taahino have gone pretty different again this month with a feminist rap anthem by a female fronted rock band *.* It's still pretty rocky and infectious though so hopefully has the potential to be one of our signature tracks angel.gif

Icon For Hire managed to get us a new peak at 14th! cheer.gif A little disappointing that we just missed out on our first top ten but 14th is still amazing and more than we expected so thanks to everyone that supported Taahino this contest biggrin.gif

In BJSC 85 Taahino plan to bring you something a little bit different! I was dead set on sending a 'typical' Taahinian entry to 85 but something's not quite clicking with the rest of the BuzzJack globe with such tracks so it's time to adjust our sound a little, hopefully it will pay off! We'll no doubt share the other entry at some point but now is definitely the time to experiment a little bit more. It's got drums.

BJSC 85 | | | BEAUTIFUL BODIES - CAPTURE & RELEASE



Taahino have gone back to our roots firmly this month sending a rock track with female vocals. I feel like this is our 'signature' sounds really and possibly one of my favourite ever entries I've sent. I was very indecisive this month but I'm glad this is what I went with in the end! I hope you all really like it and give it a couple of listens as it's a total grower but hopefully it has enough instant appeal too! happy.gif

Beautiful Bodies have released their debut album 'Battles' already and this track is one of the highlights but it's an extremely consistent album and every song is amazing and of the same high standard so if you like C&R then I urge you to listen to it asap! wub.gif

oh look another pop-rock band with a female vocalist





Posted by: ℒ𝓲𝓷⻤ 13th July 2016, 11:55 PM

||| UPDATE |||


This year saw Commander Lexa take her place as Taahino's rightful ruler. Since then changes have been made to cement our place within the alliance of the thirteen clans. Our cities have improved, our industries are thriving, Taahino's economy has never looked better. People are more patriotic and loving of one another thanks to the unity Heda Leksa has brought to us. As a symbol of our gratitude and just how much being part of the Kongeda means to the people of Taahino, a lot of our cities have now undergone a title change. Here is the new map of Taahino as well as a brief outline about each area.



Oneirozo - Our capital city remains the same. The name loosely translates to 'city of dreams'. It was titled this as it was the first town to be built when Taahino first came to be, the locals saw the potential it had and never doubted what could be achieved there. 100 years ago it was the centre of everything, our industry, our politics, our culture, our trade but now all of that has expanded across the nation. Oneirozo is Taahino's most built up city, it's massively populated and is refered to the city that never sleeps. There's always something going on, if not during business hours there's fabulous nightlife and culture to be had.

Floudonku - Is one of the smaller towns of Taahino, mostly home to those in the fishing industry. It's costal location makes it a fine place to trade, as well as it being the closest city to our border with Pupok. There's not much else to see in Floudonku, it's very much a residential area or a place to escape for those who don't like the hustle and bustle of Oneirozo. It has a small village that is still has old, original buildings and oozes local history.

Maun Gunneda - 'Gunneda Mountains' is the second of our small towns that are fairly secluded from the rest of the country. Like Floudonku it's home to those who wish to escape city life and is home to a lot of outdoors-y people as there are some stunning nature trails at the base of the mountains. There are even less locals living here that in Floudonku as it does not have a village but instead some log cabins built with the forest. There's two camp sites though so it does attract a lot of tourists who want to spend time with nature, go hikes, climb the mountains or witness the vast amount of nature that inhabits the forest.

Triianya - Is the most popular holiday nation for people visiting Taahino as it has a little bit of everything that the country has to offer. A lot of the grounders that migrated to Taahino after we joined Lexa's Kongeda settled here as it's described to hold little elements of their homes too. There's a long sandy beach that stretches for miles along the coastline, fishing at the river and a dense forest, not unlike the one at the south of the country in Maun Gunneda. It also has a busy town making it the best place to go shopping if natives don't wish to make the trip to Oneirozo.

Yorkappolis - Is the prime spot for all things music and culture. Any Taahinian person who wishes to pursue a career in music, art, theatre etc aspires to live here as it's the best place for creatives to thrive. It was the second city to be built after the capital and has always had cultured roots. It's nicknamed 'rock city' as it's most known for being home to so many rock fans. It's also home to the countries largest arena which has won awards for it's sound quality. Franklin Arena really is the ultimate venue for a lot of artists to play, not just those native to Taahino but to a lot of artists across the buzzjack globe. There's also a couple of schools and a university in Yorkappolis,as well as a shopping centre, cinema, theatre, arts centre and a museum and gallery.

Leksoncha - Is the heart of all Taahino's industry, it's not very residential at all and doesn't have much attraction except for jobs. There's also a university in Leksoncha but whilst Yorkappolis University focuses on art and literature and the likes, The University of Leksoncha is more about business, trade and all things science. Unlike Triianya the coastline by Leksoncha is filled with boats and market stalls rather than tourists. All of Taahino's factories are in Leksoncha also.

Polis



It's a strange place for a 21st century nation, it's only major building is Lexa's tower which is central to Natblida Isle. It was formerly a holiday destination before the alliance but now it's used for all our political matters and as an army training ground, Lexa also stays here on her visits as she can see the whole country from the top of her tower, apparently. The Kongeda bridge was built at the beginning of 2016 running from south Leksoncha to Polis as a symbol of the people of Taahino linking with those of the other clans of Polis, although the land has always been part of Taahino, it very much belongs to all of the clans now and is the central meeting place for all the ambassadors.


Some Taahinan history will be coming soon also wink.gif

Posted by: Bré 25th July 2016, 11:18 PM

Have done a ranking on the SurveyMonkey as well anyway cos why not tongue.gif But:

'Alive' > 'Spark' > 'Feels Like Forever' > 'We Don't Have To Dance' > 'My Own' > 'Worth It' > 'Mountain'

Most of these pretty much fit the standard Taahino niche which is good for getting another reliable top 20 I guess! (Actually the one that doesn't sound like a standard Taahino entry is the one I liked the least kink.gif) However those top 2 in particular I think are better than your usual entries for me. 'Alive' has a great chorus, which I often feel is lacking from your entries and lets them down a bit. I feel like I already know 'Spark' really well from it being played on plug.dj, would be a very good choice as well anyway, reminds me a little bit of Muse in the instrumental!

Posted by: HarryEzra 26th July 2016, 12:35 AM

Ghost Town what a beast of a song and also liked Herisound I think them two and also can see Openside and Tigress doing well ohmy.gif Hope this helps biggrin.gif

Posted by: Math ☂ 26th July 2016, 01:49 AM

Voted. 'Alive' is MILES better than the others imo, though I think you'll have varying levels of success with the rest. (except for maybe 'Mountain'.)

Posted by: ℒ𝓲𝓷⻤ 7th August 2016, 09:57 PM

BJSC 87 ||| GHOST TOWN - SPARK

That's right, we've gone with the slightly heavier sounding rock band that is Ghost Town. They've been on my radar for quite some time now, I first heard of them via a Kerrang 'One's to watch' show or something like that, they're signed to Fuelled By Ramen (Paramore, Against The Current, Panic! At The Disco etc) so really do have the makings of a solid rock band. They're a trio from California, described as an 'electronic rock band' but tbh their more recent stuff sounds more grungy than electronic, although there's some really strong dubstep influences in their earlier material. Spark is by far their most anthemic song though and has a pretty cool video which is why I went for it.



*Edit*

This also came out top in the ranking... Ghost Town > Lacey Sturm > Tigress/Openside > Andy Black > Heirsound > HalfNoise

Posted by: Lindsey⚙ 13th September 2016, 09:36 AM

Na like I said I'm just fed up of it atm and taking a break from the contest is something I've been wanting to do for months, I just didn't want to willingly walk away from my qualification streak so I've been waiting on it ending tbh

The only song I've had on my potentials list that I've been completely obsessed with and was really excited to send was the song that someone beat me to confirming this month so from the beginning I already wasn't as invested in it as I would have been. It's no fun when you don't really care about how your song does, aren't making the same amount of discoveries any more and you can't even share potentials without breaking any rules and if you do it the proper way you end up sabotaging yourself.

But yea I didn't really find the Lexa gifs funny in the context you used them in kink.gif

There's still a few songs from thehttp://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=175277&view=findpost&p=5452670 I'm considering so if there's something there that you feel is better than any of the above, pls let me know angel.gif

Send Tigress!!

(I might listen to these new ones at some point)

Posted by: Iz~ 20th October 2016, 11:28 AM

Ranked!

Well, Greywind > As It Is > Luna Blake > Heirsound > Sainte > Beach Weather

All good but the vocalist on Greywind really stands out v. well, like, that vocal style is impossible to ignore wub.gif so if you're going for one of your rock entries go for that one. Okay is also a v. good song, I'm familiar with that one already of course but very strong song. Luna Blake is definitely an option for something different.

That helps a lot thank you Iz! heart.gif

Posted by: LINDSΞY 20th October 2016, 08:42 PM

omg I forgot how good this other Greywind track is, idk if it's better than Afterthoughts though? I'm thinking maybe unsure.gif


Posted by: Jacob Alan 20th October 2016, 08:55 PM

Submitted a survey!

Oh yeah and that 2nd Greywind song is even better!

I had a last minute change of heart and ended up not going with any of those potentials and reconfirmed with something that came out yesterday kink.gif

Courage My Love - Stereo




Sober by Selena Gomez teas Ending the year with a Taahino recycle! We sent Courage My Love to the last contest of 2015 and it's somehow worked out the same way this year laugh.gif This is really different from their usual stuff but I adore it and hope it appeals to a wider range of people than our usual stuff ohmy.gif #TaahinoTopTen Stereo only dropped on Friday so this was very much a last minute change of heart, I hope I don't regret not going with my original kink.gif

TAAHINO 2017



Heya, Ai laik leksa, heda gon kongeda kru. Ai wenoc yu hogeda ona disha nei yuru. Gon the kru gon taahino en others gon the buzzjack worud, Ai wenoc yu disha nei erri gon BJSC. Au du Taahinian adeibac au nei yuru brada au nei bana au gouva klin muvfow au krudeau.

Hello, I am Lexa, Commander of the thirteen clans. I welcome you all into this new year. For the citizens of Taahino and others of the BuzzJack globe, I welcome you into a new era of BJSC. As by Taahinian tradition, a new year marks a new flag to represent our progression and development as a nation.


So without further ado, I present that to you.



I am also going to present to you our representatives for the year's first contest. A band that has been considered before, Greywind. An Irish duo, who reside in the Taahinian city of Yorkappolis. Myself and the kongeda ambassadors have decided to put what song they go with up for public decision. Of course, to stay within the contest guidelines you will not know which song has won the race - so to speak - until the semi finals of the first contest are up. You are however free to discuss the songs at your will.

Please! I kinda miss the Sober rip off version tho :')

Their new sound is pretty great, Animal Heart is their latest I think and it's good too, I think there'll be alot of jams on their next record ohmy.gif

Posted by: Cameron 7th January 2017, 11:52 PM

Voted!

Posted by: The-BrightPlaces 9th January 2017, 02:36 PM

'Afterthoughts' was my fav! Steph (it took me ages to find her name laugh.gif) has such a unique voice and I think in 'Afterthoughts' it really shows that, especially at the beginning, that it was grabbed my attention and made me like it instantly! 'Car spin' is probably after that along with 'Forest Ablaze', the other two were good but I didn't think they stood out as much biggrin.gif Good artist choice though! I've already made a discovery and the contest hasn't even started yet heart.gif

Posted by: Mart!n 9th January 2017, 04:34 PM

Lexa says Forests Ablaze or else you might get whipped by Lexa nocheer.gif

Posted by: The-BrightPlaces 9th January 2017, 08:12 PM

I think Lindsey would gladly be whipped by Lexa

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 9th January 2017, 08:31 PM

Voted, that's a great duo you've discovered! biggrin.gif I have to say my favourite is Safe Haven

Omg this sounds amazing! wub.gif

Posted by: Izetta 15th January 2017, 04:35 PM

I agree, Greywind defo needed to get sent - I should have voted but based on the three I've heard (including this one) I don't think you could have made a wrong choice.

Posted by: ʟɪɴᴅsᴇ 15th January 2017, 04:39 PM

It was a tough one, it was between this and afterthoughts in the end, this is their most recent and seems to be getting a lot of hype from Kerrang so that's how I ended up going with it laugh.gif Thanks guys! wub.gif

Posted by: ʟɪɴᴅsᴇ 30th January 2017, 01:04 AM

So Greywind didn't do as well as I'd hoped, finishing 34th... Yup starting off the year with a placing even lower than anything seen in 2016 (besides our dnq) kink.gif

Next month we're purposely making an effort to avoid guitars and rock all together and we're gonna try and find something very un-Taahino just to mix it up wink.gif


Posted by: Jacob Alan 30th January 2017, 03:04 AM

! ohmy.gif

It was a shame to see you so low but it was a qualifier. Very interested to see what you go with next month now.

Posted by: Bré 30th January 2017, 03:46 AM

I don't get how this did so badly especially with a new rock bloc member joining in this contest! This was my favourite of your female rock entries to date. Shame ~

Posted by: Cucumberella 18th February 2017, 11:11 PM

'Human' is SO bloody wonderful.

BJSC 92 ||| SEVDALIZA - HUMAN



VERY different from our usual stuff but stunning all the same, got zero idea how this will do but I hope y'all like this change in direction from us laugh.gif

Posted by: Bré 19th February 2017, 04:29 PM

This is brillllll. heart.gif

Posted by: Jade 19th February 2017, 04:38 PM

Oh yes this is very good, sooooo chilled! heart.gif It's even better than 'That Other Girl' *.*

Switching it up this month was a great move, I hope you're rewarded with your best result to date!

Posted by: Cucumberella 19th February 2017, 04:57 PM

taahino's first top 10 pls

Posted by: ʟɪɴᴅsᴇ 27th February 2017, 12:53 PM

We managed to place higher than last time with 'Sevdaliza - Human' but unfortunately didn't meet expectations and fell short of the top twenty by coming in 26th :')

Posted by: ʟɪɴᴅsᴇ 13th March 2017, 02:25 AM

BJSC 93 ||| K.Flay - High Enough



Taahino is back to guitars, but not quite in our usual way. K.Flay brings us a lush moody bop, hoping to continue our Q streak this contest angel.gif

Posted by: Lindsey 🙃 26th January 2018, 08:51 PM

okay its 2018 and I am determined to get my first top ten (hopefully hayley can do it for me) but lets just take a minute to reflect on the amount of injustices i've had (see poll xxx)

Posted by: CodyOfTheWoods 26th January 2018, 09:55 PM

2016 Taahino was a GIFT FROM GOD

The fact that you got a song on DWTS before me tho drama.gif

honestly my run from like Courage My Love - Skin and Bone (L3 Remix) to Ghost Town - Spark was so solid

I said them all bc u usually do badly lol

Posted by: Bré 28th January 2018, 11:08 PM

Sevdaliza is clearly the biggest injustice.

(Courage My Love / Ghost Town / Tigress / Tonight Alive 'Temple' shoulda been top 10s too x)

Posted by: Liаm 28th January 2018, 11:28 PM

Now You Know and Temple not making top 10 were both absolutely ridic. I REALLY thought for both it would happen, surely it will with Curious but I won't hold my breath with the rampant Taahino racism :/

Posted by: Jade 29th January 2018, 12:36 AM

I voted for 'Now You Know' as your biggest injustice as I was SO sure that was going to be a top 10 sad.gif bjsc should've rewarded that feisty feminist anthem more. 'Human' also finished way too low. I thiiiink it could finally be your time for a top 10 though as 'Curious' sounds big and I only feel that way about a handful of songs this time. Hope it doesn't suffer too much with the pophoe dropouts.

Posted by: SevenSeize 29th January 2018, 12:46 AM

DANGEROUS all the way

Posted by: Lindsey 🙃 29th January 2018, 03:33 AM

I'm feeling good about Curious tbh, Tonight Alive managed to get me 10th in Rejects and then 11th in AC so hopefully this is the start of a theme that will extend into the main contest and at the very least I can beat 14th and get a new peak *.*

*DNQs*

Posted by: Lindsey 🙃 5th February 2018, 10:24 PM

Yassssssss!! FINALLY we have a new peak and our first ever top ten!!

#20gayteen

Posted by: Lindsey 🙃 7th February 2018, 01:03 AM

nu flag who dis


Posted by: Cameron 🐠 13th April 2020, 01:25 PM

Lindsey you could have updated your entry list for your 50th so I can rank them
