QUOTE(LexC @ Apr 29 2012, 05:53 PM)  That sounds great but I can't help but feel Sweden would win win by a landslide no matter what was sent!  Whoever was lucky enough to get them would be at an advantage but not everyone would be able to pick a track worthy of winning. Certainly BJSC doesn't have a Swedish winner every month and I don't think we've EVER had a contest to date with no Swedes! |

QUOTE(gooddelta @ Apr 29 2012, 05:51 PM) I think dmlaw is on Moopy now! As an aside, that would be a great idea for a future BJSC spin-off, 'BJSC Eurovision' whereby everyone that wishes to participate is randomly assigned a different country to send a song from. I remember it being quite fun the two times we did it on CHC, I got Malta the year before and it took me AGES to find a decent song to use Luckily Iceland has lots of great music.That's a good idea actually, I wouldn't mind hosting it again either as it was a lot of fun as you say! Maybe when we have a bit more spare time as we're running a little behind schedule at the moment! Yes, you did very well to find Chasing Pandora and I have to thank you for sending them as I loved a lot of the songs they released afterwards! I got Latvia the first year, that was a challenge to find something decent! I think I settled on a dreary indie-rock song in the end!

Like Hits I also got a sneak peak of the FSR Rontvian entrant (Rich also got a sneak peak at Nause/Emma before I posted them in my thread) and for me it was instant.
I do absolutely ADORE a ballad done properly and a very simple piano ballad with a beautiful vocal is properly done in my books. Literally the only reason it didn't walk away with my 12 in SF and Final like it should have was Dragonette being in the Final. The two of them were lightyears ahead of my 8 which in turn was miles ahead of my 4th place+ tracks. |

The BJSC Eurovision Spin-off would be a great idea! It's finding time in the schedule for us to do it that's the problem. There is always the 5th brithday celebrations though, and we did start off in the ESC forum (for like a day before we got our own sub-forum) so that could be a nice way to pay homage to that.

I got Latvia the first year, that was a challenge to find something decent! I think I settled on a dreary indie-rock song in the end! I found it by typing 'amazing music from Malta' or something like that in Google, although even then I had to sift through about 30 really crap artists/songs before finding Chasing Pandora. I almost gave up being inspired and was going to just resort to something by Ira Losco but I'm glad I found an act that I hadn't previously heard of as it was quite a gorgeous song  Well if you do find a gap to cram a spin-off in I'd definitely be up for it, I like the challenge of finding something as you discover a ton of songs from that country in the process of looking for a suitable entry!QUOTE(Silas @ Apr 29 2012, 06:00 PM) Like Hits I also got a sneak peak of the FSR Rontvian entrant (Rich also got a sneak peak at Nause/Emma before I posted them in my thread) and for me it was instant.

I found Rae quite similar to your former entrant Gabrielle Aplin so I did have an inkling that you'd rather like it! Sadly, that track didn't do as well as it should have either

It's not a big an injustice as I Like That failing to make the top30 was. It was all good in the end because the month after Aplin I won Kristiina Brask through to Gabrielle Aplin was a big turning point for Ashton and the quality of the songs we were sending. *Still the only foreign language winner bitches*

It was certainly an impressive return to form after that shocking start to 2010 you suffered results wise

She's not come out with anything that could touch it since which is a shame. The P Diddy Mix really is life itself. 4 DNQ's was sooooooooooo fun  No idea how Sangria coped with 7 in a row.

I remember those Unknown Pleasures on ChC.
 The first time I was given Finland and entered 'Tell Me' by Darude which finished 4th. The second time I had Latvia and entered some Lady GaGa rip off artist whose name escpaes me.

DJ Ella  , I only remember because I nearly (and probably should have) entered her the previous year with another song!

The BJSC Eurovision idea would be amazing, but I just know I'd end up with Malta, Latvia or Bosnia or something

I really like the sound of that idea!
I think it'd do well as part of the 5th anniversary celebrations!
