what about you
^ phenomenal song
I have given my full final points to:
BJSC 19: Kathaldazia | Eva Simons - Silly Boy
BJSC 21: Lorikeet | Dolly Rockers - Boys Will Be Boys
BJSC 23: Quotosibb | Marina And The Diamonds - Hollywood
BJSC 25: Hendinia | Roll Deep - Good Times
BJSC 26: FSR Rontvia | Sheelah - Psycho
BJSC 38: Kopečka | Loreen - Sober
BJSC 39: Hendinia | Ricki-Lee - Raining Diamonds
BJSC 52: Batidas | Zara Larsson - Uncover
BJSC 66: Aeroche | A.G. Cook - Beautiful
BJSC 114: Oslol | Eden XO - Have It All (F9 Club Radio Mix)
BJSC 125: Altyr Muunilinst | Nova Miller - Mi Amor
I always forget I gave Star Pilots my 12 over Margaret :') but Margaret would be my 2nd favourite winner after Loreen
Eden XO probably 3rd!
Favourite winner from before I joined:
Favourite winner since I joined:
I think.
Excluding my own 'Saving Light', it would have to be 'Easy Love' I didn't even give it 18 points but it grew on me post-contest. If we're going to ignore songs that went on to be UK hits, then it would probably be 'Free Tibet'. I'll leave this here too as most of my fave winners.

Břtanikkä 42 :: Emma Hewitt - Colours
#00274E 53 :: Carli - Look Up
N DNTN 65 :: Hervé x Zebra Katz - Tear The House Up
Daehun 73 :: SNBRN - Raindrops (feat. Kerli)

Winners I gave +13 (+8) to:
Aeroche 51 :: Kate Boy - Northern Lights
FSR Rontvia 64 :: Ram - Ramelia (Tribute To Amelia)
Pupok 86 :: Aelyn - Give Love A Try
Jupiterdonia 124 :: Rebecca & Fiona - Fet House Mode
shoutout also to Fljótavík 106 :: Jean-Michel Blais & CFCF - Hypocrite [+11, but grew post-contest]
Excluding my own (I like 'Cry For Freedom' more than any other winner but I am obviously biased xx) I think it still has to be this:
Although it's had some pretty strong competition very recently from Drab Majesty's 'Ellipsis', would probably rank that 2nd! (Lana Del Rey's 'Video Games' is also up there with the best songs that have won so should mention that too but it's tough to compare when it's a song I don't personally associate with BJSC at all x)
I gave top points to both 'Free Tibet' and 'Ellipsis' as well as Belanger's 'Take Me Home', Fraunhofer Diffraction's 'Fate' and Jean-Michel Blais and CFCF's 'Hypocrite'.
This was my favourite discovery ever on this site and still something I listen to regularly now... but also a big mention to Belanger's 'Take Me Home' which has been eradicated from youtube but fortunately I still have the mp3.
It's not easy for me to decide between 'RAMelia', 'Free Tibet' and '10.000 Luchtballonen', all of which I adore for very different reasons. And none of which I gave top points to in their final, I'm pretty sure they were all second or third behind some other songs I've forgotten.
the winners I did give top points to, I'm pretty sure there's only five off the top of my head (Hyperventilating, Gypsy, Tokyo, Goliath and thoughts & prayers), are all great and probably in my winner top 10 but I wouldn't say are on quite the level of those three.
With this one a close second:
Both from around the time I started and such a fantastic discoveries that I knew I had to stick around!
From before I joined, it would be either Lana Del Rey - Video Games, Foxes - Youth or t.A.T.u - Gomenasai.
So many!
Video Games, Youth (Foxes) and Run Boy Run are all up there with my most played songs ever! I'm fairly certain I gave all of those 12 points when they were competing but have also had the help of becoming publically known songs.
Other songs I've loved have been Sulk, Capitol, Supreme, RAMelia, Give Love A Try, Need U, Derniere Danse, Take Me Home, Sissy That Walk, Habib Galbi, Free Tibet (Vini Vici Remix), Sober, Sadness Is A Blessing, Beautiful, I Loved U. There's probably some more I'm forgetting but seeing them all here has shown how many great discoveries I've made from BJSC over the years.
^ this came at the height of my pc music love in 2014, a trance-y bubblegum masterpiece
^ it was honour hosting that contest and handing the victory over to this perfect pop track!
^ stone cold classics from my debut year <3
Belanger, Foxes, RAM/Susana and both TR/ST songs are certainly worthy of a mention too
(and all my 3 winners but that goes without saying)
all aboard the seven seas and seven ways to win!
xo
10,000 Luchtballonnen is up there for me too. Release Me, 1,000 Ships, Will You Remember Me Tomorrow and, more recently Goliath, would also all be up there.
Lovely to see lots of mentions for RAMelia. I could do with finding another entry as good as that!
My own, of course :')
Failing that, probably NINA from earlier this year.
All things considered then for me the best BJSC winner of all time would be Indila - Derniere Danse
i had a think about it and i honestly think it might be one of the below:
Crystal Waters - Relax - the most pleasantly surprised i've ever been at a BJSC winner!
Clare Maguire - Elizabeth Taylor (Mulholland Edition) - MASSIVE song!
Also shout out to:
Belanger - Take Me Home
Daniella Mason - Cruel Summer
PVRIS - St. Patrick
Meg Myers - Sorry
Foxes - Youth
Drones Club - Hurricane
Postiljonen - Supreme
Hilight Tribe - Free Tibet
A-WA - Habib Galbi
Franky Wah - Hide (feat. Robinson)
Carli - Look Up
Delta Heavy - Ghost
Eden XO - Have It All (F9 Mix)
Blonde - I Loved U (feat. Melissa Steel)
Cathedrals - Try To Fight
EASYFUN - Monopoly (feat. Noonie Bao)
Jaded - In The Morning
amongst others!
ps. i'm touched that 10/12 of my winners have been mentioned in this thread so far i always think my entries would be forgotten but thank you!
Meg Myers - Sorry is definitely one that stands out as a best BJSC winner.. Of course that was before I joined but it was the song that first lead me to finally take part.
'Save It', 'Saving Light', 'In The Morning' & 'Give Love A Try' are also up there. I do think I'm missing some others too but I can't remember right now. Lol.
Bound to be loads from the first 5 years as well but haven't scrolled to look!
Is there an up-to-date list somewhere? 'Habib Galbi' is still my fave off the top of my head, not including winners from before I joined as there'd be far too many to mention!
i am TOUCHED that **YOU** the silent majority, have taken your arms into me
next contest is 126 which will see the exact halfway mark of BJSC 63 since I won last time with RuPaul :')
let's hope portuguese language synthwave is a THING around here
(yes, it has a sax part)
In no particular order:
A-WA - Habib Galbi
Belanger - Take Me Home
Clare Maguire - Elizabeth Taylor (Mulholland Edition)
Frida Sundemo - Indigo
Kate Boy - Northern Lights
Röyksopp - The Girl And The Robot
TR ST - Sulk
Unicorn Kid - Need U
(actually there is a particular order in the form of my top 500 entries but for the purposes of this thread there is no particular order)
Gryffin - Remember, Sissy That Walk & Monopoly would aso be up there for me.
“the silent majority” is when you run out of ideas!
Belanger - Take Me Home certainly the best song I've discovered that I still listen to the most. So High from the contest before not been mentioned, loved that at the time and still do.
Would go for Drab Majesty from since I started entering again.
I've only ever given my +18 to two winners - Hurricane and Word of Mouth, and I'd definitely say I preferred the former now.
Gypsy, Tokyo, Playa Grande and Ellipsis were all high up my list (and of course Thumbs but it still feels weird calling it a BJSC entry since it was entered so long after everyone first became aware of it)
Röyksopp
Woodkid
Trust
I still love "Sorry" its my favourite track I ever entered, along with Gareth Emery ft. Tegan & Sara with Body Talk, oooh and Kyla La Grange / Walk Through Walls
Not both my entries already being mentioned. The Taste, The Xenophilia, I live.
Aeroche // Colleen D'Agostino - Disaster
N DNTN // RAYE - Shhh
New Lexico // Metroplane - Word Of Mouth (feat. Bree Runway)
Republic of Adonia // Josef Salvat - Open Season
Elëdan // RuPaul - Sissy That Walk
These are the ones I live for (Metroplan and RuPaul less so because I came into the contest already knowing them.
babay!
disaster's one of my favourites of mine too. an underrated legacy bop!
Top 3 for me would be Free Tibet, Aide & Give Love A Try.
Interestingly (or not) I've participated in nearly 50 contests now and my +18 has only won ONCE* (Give Love A Try). Aide was a big post-contest grower & Free Tibet was the one I missed since debut.
*A run that shows no signs of ending. Have come very close tho including last month with my +15 winning.
So other than my own it would be Thumbs easily but I’ve loved that track for years before it was submitted so that doesn’t really count Excluding that (and Easy Love since it’s such a huge hit) it’s probably a toss between Heaven, Saving Light, Remember and Hide
Best runner up other than my own (like come on, would anything else top Weekends?) would be Up & Down easily
Blonde is weirdly my least favourite of my winners. I think Allie X has to be my favourite overall though, had lined it up to send myself about 3 months prior and Rob sent another song so I lost out. Sad times.
Dixie Chicks - Not Ready To Make Nice probably, but since I joined, I've got a few, excluding my own in a rough order:
Indila - Derniere danse
easyfun - Monopoly
grandson - Thoughts & Prayers
PVRIS - St. Patrick
Loreen - Sober
Ricki-Lee - Raining Diamonds
Dragonette - Let It Go
Raye - Shhh
Ronya - Hyperventilating
Meg Myers - Sorry
Daniella Mason - Cruel Summer
k3 - 10.000 Luchtballonnen
Clare Maguire - Elizabeth Taylor (Mulholland Mix)
Sabrina Carpenter - Thumbs
Still not over that?
(Thank you Liam )
In terms of my fave winners, I probably should break this down more but they would be amongst:
BJSC IX Kingdom of Shadow // Margaret Berger - Will You Remember Me Tomorrow? (Before I entered, but still a choon)
BJSC XV Mdiče // Röyksopp - The Girl And The Robot
BJSC XVI Mdiče // V V Brown - Shark In The Water

BJSC LXI Daehun // Indila - Derničre Danse
BJSC LXIII Elëdan // RuPaul - Sissy That Walk

BJSC XCV Suedeonia // Bleachers - Don't Take The Money
BJSC XCVIII Medhelnia // Clare Maguire - Elizabeth Taylor (Mulholland Edition)
BJSC CXI FARC // White Lies - Tokyo
Tbh I haven’t heard most of the winners past LXX, I have been catching up due to Seyetana’s excellent Spotify playlist though)
