Welcome from Aesthetica! Excited to see what you send, I'm sure it's bound to be iconic~

Posted by: uhsting Mar 26 2020, 09:46 PM

and here we have the song to represent us this edition. lets give the time to the sirius guy to introduce this song.

Rhyme So, consisting of the Australian singer-songwriter Rhyme and the Japanese producer Shinichi Osawa, released an avant-garde pop and music video, with minimalistic lyrics. The lyrics speak about the norm surrounding the ginormous usage of social media. Inevitably, a lot of people have taken it seriously and their mental health becomes an issue. Rhyme So hoped to "get [people] off the excess, unnecessary social media that may harm mental health.", but they did it in a fun way. They also wanted to promote sustainable fashion through their music video and lyrics.

Personally, I really like the style of the music which is minimalistic and the commentary that gives a unique vibe. It is also haunting in the way how social media has sucked our attention and real life into it, demonstrated by the instrumentation. It is undoubtedly fun and catchy as well. The greatest part I like is that how they managed to produce this song that sounds as if it is a novelty, but at the moment elicit the deep meaning and the social "problem" we have in the world at the moment.

I hope all enjoy this entry!

Greetings to the leadership of Why So Sirius, your representatives will be welcome on Buzzjack Mountain for a party (once the social distancing measures are no longer needed that is) where we will serve the finest hotdogs and beans

Posted by: uhsting Mar 27 2020, 09:58 PM

thanks for the invite!

Posted by: uhsting Mar 28 2020, 10:16 AM

dont forget about the new chart today! bjsc 123 entries will be included next week! you could find some entries here from last edition!

Posted by: uhsting May 3 2020, 09:37 PM

Stay home, save lives, and spread the message (not germs)!

By the way, last edition we had arguably the longest entry to BJSC with Arca. This edition, we possibly have the shortest entry to BJSC!

Following three disappointing DNQs, the people of Why So Sirius have voted out Doge as the head of state. New candidates will be running for the head of state and these will be voted upon. Please bear with us as we elect a new head of state.

The people are determined to bring their nation their first qualifier in the next contest.

Posted by: The Snake Jun 19 2020, 08:14 PM

No! WhySoSirius won't be the same without Doge (in astronomy Sirius is the Doge Star after all) and use of glorious Comic Sans!

Posted by: uhsting Jun 27 2020, 11:13 PM

The people have voted!

We are delighted to announce our new head of state: Ollie the Polite Cat!



Here is a brief message from our new head of state!

Greetings everyone, I am honoured to be elected as the head of state. I am thrilled to be involved in the selection of songs and the logistics of representing Why So Sirius the future contests. It is heart-warming to know that the people have confidence in my ability to coordinate a competitive application in the contest, and I shall not let thy people down. Many thanks for the ongoing support and I am excited to select the next song for BJSC!

Jeremy Loops to represent South Africa for Why So Sirius!

He is representing the nation with "Mortal Man". Released in May this year, this song conveys the message that however bad the situation is, there is someone to hear you out and rely on. The song has an acoustic sound to it, and relatively stripped back with mostly the guitar and the piano. It is simply structured and sounds relaxing as well.

Why So Sirius bringing you the summer you need



We have no information from where Koala comes from, but this doesn't matter because the song is for everyone in the world! Let's embrace the final month of summer and dance along this catchy banger! Shake it!

On behalf of Why So Sirius, thanks to everyone who voted us during semi-final 2! See you all in the grand finals!

Posted by: uhsting Aug 14 2020, 10:09 PM

Thank you all for voting! I'm grateful to finish with 137 points and 25th place, scoring the 1st qualification for the country! I'm well preparing for BJSC 127, hopefully to replicate the success of the BJSC 126 entry!

I will be sending a ballad for BJSC 127. I have several potentials in my head at the moment, but I will try to get everything sorted and you will see what happens!

Posted by: uhsting Aug 22 2020, 09:24 PM

BJSC 127 National finals

Why So Sirius will be holding a national final to search for their next entry for BJSC!!

Of course according to the rules you cannot DM me your votes, but feel free to comment below on your feedback about the following three potentials!

Without further ado, let's bring on the 3 potentials!!

upsidedownhead ft. Mansionair - twice as tough



We start off with actually one of my most played songs recently. This song does have a major setback with the lack of a third ending major chorus, but the clever use of instrumentation throughout the song sets up the atmosphere and scene, as well as the background choir in the chorus: both of them make up this setback for me. The Sydney-based upsidedownhead, together with the leading vocalist Jack Froggatt from Mansionair, worked this song on a summer afternoon. This song is about "learning to love yourself before letting other people in".

Bolshiee - Maniac



Second potential would be this stupendous song from Bolshiee. This song is very delicate but also powerful with the violins doing a glissando in the chorus. The music does speak for itself on what the message of this song brings. Luxembourgian Bolshiee pictures the song and lyrics as a movie, which is "a combination of being in a vulnerable & open state of mind and the right time & place". I hope you enjoy the story told by Bolshiee in this song!

Diandra - Koti



Wrapping up will be a Finnish song "Koti", which means "home" in English. This song technically is not a ballad if you try to argue in detail but let's not delve into that shall we? I love the regional sounding and the Finnish language sounds absolutely beautiful in this song. The chorus melody is memorable and fabulous, refreshing you could also say! Diandra actually had the melody in her head for some years and she finally penned the song with lyrics from Timo Kiiskinen. In this song, she plays the violin and reckons that "bring[s] a beautiful Finnish folk music atmosphere to the song". The lyrics tell that "the home is there ‘wherever I hit my head’ ”.This is a new single from her in years, so I'm glad she made a strong comeback!

Feedback is appreciated and I hope it will guide me to the next BJSC 127 entry for Why So Sirius, and hopefully another qualification for the country!

Posted by: Thom Femenerkay Aug 23 2020, 04:15 PM

LOVE Bolshiee's voice and the gliss is gorgeous as you say Diandra is very nice though and I love a bit of scandipop, Finnish in particular. Hope she didn't hit her head too hard though

So personally for me, Diandra, but Bolshiee may be more accessible

Posted by: uhsting Aug 23 2020, 05:16 PM

Thanks for the feedback! Glad you like Bolshiee and agree that the gliss is amazing! Diandra's head should well and ok haha and love Scandipop when it's in its own language! These 3 songs definitely create a massive headache for me

Posted by: uhsting Sep 6 2020, 10:04 PM

Koti unfortunately didn't make it to the finals, and it seems that preselection curse has come to Why So Sirius XD. I will be pretty proud of this entry no matter what.

I wonder what could have happened if I listened to the advice of Bolshiee being more accessible. To be honest, I don't think twice as tough would have done better. XD

I have a lot of potentials (bangers) for BJSC 128 and I will post them up as soon as BJSC 127 finishes!

Posted by: uhsting Sep 22 2020, 10:21 AM

I am very busy lately so I haven't got time to listen a lot to the songs that I want to choose for the upcoming edition! If comments are given, that will be appreciated!

1. Noga Erez - YOU SO DONE


2. AE Mak ft. Seba Safe - i dance in the k!tchen


3. Fulminacci - Canguro

Posted by: Thom Regulus Kay Sep 23 2020, 09:12 AM

Hey there, here’s the official Numayanagasque review from the BJSC preview show

You So Done (WOW Memorable video, slightly less memorable song, but slightly reminds me of an American (?) Christine and the Queens which is no bad thing )

I Dance In The Kitchen (OMG STOP TALKING When it gets going it’s pretty cute, I think the intro might put people off though, I thought you’d posted an interview by accident for a minute. Also don’t forget that the word “kitchen is filtered on here, so if you’re not careful you’ll be sending a song called I Dance In The iamspamspamami )

Canguro (catchy as hell! I love Italian pop but good Italian pop is hard to find at least outside of Eurovision/San Remo season. The lyrics are great, and the production. The fact that he’s adorable doesn’t harm either )

So personally for me, Canguro but I think You So Done might have more hit potential...

Posted by: King Rollo Sep 24 2020, 02:00 PM

I like song 1 the best. Song 2 was quirky and I might give it some points but I don't think it would do well. Song 3 was not very memorable.

So my recommendation is 'You So Done'.

Posted by: uhsting Sep 24 2020, 10:00 PM

Hi! Thanks for your feedback! I wonder why kitchen is censored lol. You So Done does actually remind me of Billie Eilish and I would be interested to see how Buzzjack is going to rate this! I Dance in the Kitchen is pretty adorable and I really like their production. It sounds very unique as well. However, given the track record of Fashion Blogger and Sneeze, Cough, Hand Wash (The Hygiene Song), I'm very unsure whether this will succeed because it falls under the same category, but I do think it is a good novelty track. Canguro is very catchy but as I quote Rollo below, and given Koti flopped massively in the last edition, also unsure whether it could succeed.


Hi Rollo! Thanks for your feedback and recommendation! I wish we are in the same semi again and I hope AE Mak would get some love if I do send it in the end A bit surprised that you found song 3 not so memorable. I do quite enjoy the harmony-less chorus and the Italian expletive. It is quite catchy, so quite amazed at this but I shall take note!!

I hope more feedback can be given, and I hope you will enjoy the final entry I would send!

Posted by: uhsting Oct 4 2020, 08:21 PM

Noga Erez failed to qualify, but finished with a respectable 46 points. Next edition we are planning to send another ballad and another preselection of ~3 songs hopefully.

Posted by: uhsting Oct 19 2020, 10:44 PM

Hello everyone! I have 3 potentials I would like to send this edition and would love your opinions on them This edition I'm sending a ballad so here are 3 ballads for you to enjoy!



It's probably one of the most touching songs I have ever heard for a while!



Vocals do sound a bit weird at the start, but the buildup at the end is just impeccable!



I'm shocked nobody sent SYML before, as I had the feeling that they were sent multiple times, and at risk of a veto, BUT SYML deserves to be in BJSC at least once, yet will it be this song?

Feedback is welcome!!

We've been mistreated by Sovarasma for WAY TOO LONG!!! It's time to RISE UP!!! Kick Sovarasma out of BJSC NOW!!!!

I am anticipating orange paint to be thrown midway through the Final listenthrough. Why So Sirius love to make a statement at a big event.

Posted by: uhsting Mar 19 2024, 04:33 PM

🚨ÚLTIMA HORA🚨


REJECTED ENTRY

It was widely reported the Why So Sirius delegation has attempted to send this banger to BJSC 163, only to face pressure from the Sovarasma delegation or else they will face "grave financial consequences". The streets are saying the HoD of Sovarasma is afraid that this entry will easily break the record of the number of 18 points given in the grand final and does not want this to happen in a Sovarasma-hosted contest.

The Why So Sirius delegation objects the potentially violent intervention and continues to call for the disqualification of Sovarasma in BJSC.
