Posted by: ✖ leww ✖ 23rd August 2020, 07:00 PM
- Aesthetica and Cadelicia did not vote in BJSC 126's final, therefore they are unable to participate in BJSC 127.
- Klangkarussell, GIVVEN, St. Lucia, Matt Maeson and Seeb all shined in the final Top 3 last contest and unfortunately cannot be sent by any nation this month.
- You cannot send the same artist you sent last month but you can send someone else's if you like!
- All entries will be subject to consideration by the mod team using the http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=196914, so please cast your eye over this before submitting to ensure your entry has a chance!

We have ventured to Die Türkei this month! Unless we change our mind that is.
Posted by: ITz Cody 🧨 23rd August 2020, 07:04 PM
Sent one! No guarantees that it will do well 
Posted by: Bré 23rd August 2020, 07:05 PM
Kind of goes without saying but adoring Aeroche bringing the pretty graphics as usual 
I still don't have anything in mind for this month yet so better get searching 
(and here's hoping we won't end up having 10 double confirmations on the final day again this month eh)

Ugh I am 5 minutes late...I hope no one snatched my entry!!!
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 23rd August 2020, 07:07 PM
Confirmed a dance-punk banger!
Posted by: diva thin muffin 23rd August 2020, 07:07 PM
Mosquetania has confirmed, hoping to beat last month's PEAK performance of placing fifth this month!
Posted by: lewistgreen 23rd August 2020, 07:14 PM
Back to dance for us with some ravey vibes
Posted by: Addy!(By Demand) 23rd August 2020, 07:15 PM

Posted by: dandy* 23rd August 2020, 07:15 PM
Entered 
May change but at the moment I’m going with my heart over my head
Posted by: RobBot 23rd August 2020, 07:25 PM
Going back to the 80s vibes though I'm not 100% certain I'll stay with it just yet ~
Posted by: Calum 23rd August 2020, 07:26 PM
Confirmed!
Posted by: LexC 23rd August 2020, 07:32 PM
Jupiterdonia stop trying to ruin my year in BJSC challenge!

Jupiterdonia stop trying to ruin my year in BJSC challenge!
EDIT: Double posted because it bares repeating
Posted by: ✖ leww ✖ 23rd August 2020, 07:34 PM
LexC read the response form before confirming counter-challenge!!!
Posted by: gooddelta 23rd August 2020, 07:34 PM
I’ve sent something that sounds like a lost German Eurovision entry from the 80s, so I should have 37th place all sewn up! Hoping the huge chorus won’t let me down!
Posted by: *Tim 23rd August 2020, 07:36 PM
Confirmed a trash bop. Pupok and UVland coulda sent this one. I came to SPILL that tea
Posted by: n'tAlice 23rd August 2020, 07:41 PM
who(m?) did you bribe to automatically qualify this month?
because i want in!
Posted by: LexC 23rd August 2020, 08:04 PM
Made the necessary switch to some Eilish style horror pop which is like a totally new moment for me nyah
Posted by: Thom Femenerkay 23rd August 2020, 08:11 PM
Confirmed, mind over heart right now, but I’ve got to maintain my qualification streak of one
If you change your mind I need to hear that ASAP
Posted by: Thom Femenerkay 23rd August 2020, 08:12 PM
Forgot I couldn’t delete messages oops lol
Posted by: Klumzee 23rd August 2020, 08:13 PM
I have submitted and now the beat is my master!!
Euphoric dance headed your way that will make you want to get up and do Zumba!
Posted by: Qween 23rd August 2020, 08:14 PM
I’m returning to country pop for the second time this year! Though I may change during the week.
Posted by: *Callum 23rd August 2020, 08:32 PM
Confirmed a song that I adore, however I am not expecting it to do particularly well x
Posted by: Mart!n 23rd August 2020, 08:40 PM
Confirmed something 
with an British Indie Pop track, its a banger reminds me a bit like Sorry in places. I came across it a while back was tempted to enter it in Unknown Pleasures by making a comeback to the comp I thought I try my luck to enter it as a BJSC entry in the end.
edit that, back to the drawing board 
Plan B incoming...
Posted by: Jonjoliday 23rd August 2020, 08:42 PM
Just confirmed something, but I genuinely can't remember if it's been sent or not! 
(I checked the songs of thread which says it's updated up to #125 and it wasn't there so *shrugs*)
It's such a bop!
Posted by: gooddelta 23rd August 2020, 08:43 PM
Will send it to you if I do!
My other main potential is my most played song of the year, but at the same time I wonder if it’s too subtle (also I’m not convinced the artist would get through the veto, even though I’m confident nobody would have heard the song), I may try it at some point.
The song I have confirmed is my favourite song right now, and is absolutely not subtle.
Posted by: Jonjoliday 23rd August 2020, 08:46 PM
(I checked the songs of thread which says it's updated up to #125 and it wasn't there so *shrugs*)It's such a bop!
THIS SONG GOT VETOED VVVV RECENTLY
(which explains why I was so confused as to why it wasn't in the songs of thread as I was sure I saw their name mentioned lmao)

Plan B incoming... Great song though
good taste xI've entered something a bit random as I discovered it over a year ago, but it's a really nice 80s-influenced number, the artist is fairly well known but they haven't been properly active for ages so I hope it's OK~ (and they've apparently DNQ'd here before so let's hope to right that x)
Posted by: Bré 23rd August 2020, 08:52 PM
THIS SONG GOT VETOED VVVV RECENTLY
(which explains why I was so confused as to why it wasn't in the songs of thread as I was sure I saw their name mentioned lmao)I was just in the process of fast tracking vetoing it since I could literally just copy and paste from last month
(as it happens the Songs of BJSC thread doesn't have BJSC 126 songs in it yet anyway though, will update that shortly)
Posted by: Mart!n 23rd August 2020, 09:00 PM
I've changed to back up plan Its a bit different but it works well (a London four-piece band), just one of those tracks that has grown on me, still utilising the Indie / alternative genre.
Posted by: King Rollo 23rd August 2020, 09:45 PM
Confirmed some ethereal world music.
Posted by: J00psyMethyd 23rd August 2020, 09:55 PM
You better vote for me then!
Posted by: Iz~ 23rd August 2020, 10:24 PM
confirmed something digitally synthy
Posted by: LexC 23rd August 2020, 10:35 PM
All entries are subject to the veto until the semi threads go up x (also you got your 18 in the last contest, don't push your luck!)
That said if you're in the mix to win I reserve my right to do a Hushkanukia-style tactical snub x
Posted by: Dexton 23rd August 2020, 10:37 PM
Confirmed with what I wish I sent last contest! A smooth indie rock track I’ve been loving a lot myself lately that will hopefully resonate with at least my semi
Posted by: J00psyMethyd 23rd August 2020, 10:53 PM

Gah, don't make me put my tactical hat on with u :3
Posted by: Addy!(By Demand) 23rd August 2020, 11:12 PM
I think I found out who is behind my stolen entry
Posted by: Mack. 24th August 2020, 10:50 AM
Confirmed, 
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 24th August 2020, 01:33 PM
Confirmed! Please at least be a bit kinder to this one than the last one
Posted by: Qween 24th August 2020, 03:03 PM
You might very well think that; I couldn't possibly comment.
(definitely did not have you pegged as competion for it to be fair!)
Posted by: Addy!(By Demand) 24th August 2020, 05:56 PM
(definitely did not have you pegged as competion for it to be fair!)
It's very catchy, it has big chorus and cross-over appeal and it sounds lite-Avicii...all those make a recipe to do well!!!
Posted by: Dexton 24th August 2020, 06:33 PM
The anxiety of BJSC results is immense but I wouldn’t change it for the world tbh
Posted by: FrankLuck 24th August 2020, 07:45 PM
I'll take the DNQ if I have to but this song must be the part of common knowledge.
It's the love child of 'Hypa Hypa' and 'Trip To Ireland' - be prepared.
Posted by: NocheLuna 24th August 2020, 09:59 PM
Entered, gone for something dreamy
Posted by: Jade 24th August 2020, 10:53 PM
Confirmed this feels like a natural sonic progression from my previous entry!
Posted by: Klumzee 25th August 2020, 07:32 AM

I’m ready for my ears to be assaulted *.*
Posted by: LexC 25th August 2020, 02:19 PM
Made a switch to something that maybe won't do as well as my second choice would have done but is definitely more representative of me and my taste
Posted by: Bré 26th August 2020, 01:12 PM
Confirmed for now, may end up changing ~
The artist I've confirmed is a more recognisable name than I usually go for but the song is pretty different to the songs they are best known for x
Posted by: ✖ leww ✖ 26th August 2020, 03:44 PM
VETO
JoJo - What U Need 3
- artist came 23rd in BJSC 36 3
- artist had 4 UK top 40 hits (3 of which made the top 10) and 4 US Hot 100 hits between 2004 and 2011
- appeared in 2 personal charts (neither of which are BJSC participants)
- latest single from deluxe version of an album with a 3 page discussion thread in the Pop forum
- mid level blog coverage
- *mod discretion* - falls short of reaching the veto threshold by the exact specification of the framework but still deemed to be against the spirit of the competition
Posted by: Addy!(By Demand) 26th August 2020, 03:52 PM
I wouldn't have mind Jo(n)Jo in competition considering I only really know her 3 biggest hits (and it would have been some sort of rediscovery for me) but I also understand the reasons why mod's have decided against it!!!
Posted by: ✖ leww ✖ 26th August 2020, 03:54 PM
Yeah it's one of those ones that I saw on the confirmations list and thought "it was worth a go!"
Posted by: Jonjoliday 26th August 2020, 06:05 PM
Officially reconfirmed.
Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 26th August 2020, 08:10 PM
Ended up deciding to for for my usual summer foray into a dance entry
Posted by: lewistgreen 26th August 2020, 08:54 PM
Reconfirmed, debated it several times and it'll probs flop but I love it
Posted by: n'tAlice 26th August 2020, 09:25 PM
Confirmed
Posted by: Bré 26th August 2020, 09:45 PM
We have some interesting artist names among the last couple of confirmed entries xx
Posted by: ✖ leww ✖ 26th August 2020, 09:47 PM
Pav u may think ur slick but someone has gone a similar way this month!!!
Posted by: n'tAlice 27th August 2020, 07:32 AM
Meh. I shall reconfirm later then.
Posted by: a.m. lastrassi 27th August 2020, 07:41 AM
ahh i already found a potential for next contest. getting back into the swing o' things
Posted by: ✖ leww ✖ 27th August 2020, 07:55 AM
not with that particular idea tho x
Posted by: uhsting 27th August 2020, 07:46 PM
I can confirm that I have finalised my choice for this edition!
Posted by: Harve 27th August 2020, 10:38 PM
I have already entered the Inspector Norse of the early 10s, which is Inspector Norse itself, so I am now entering the Inspector Norse of the late 10s.
Posted by: Jack 28th August 2020, 05:16 PM
Resubmitted with one of the best r&b bops of the last five years.
Posted by: Jack 28th August 2020, 06:25 PM
Actually let me reconfirm again lmao, thanks NMF.
Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 28th August 2020, 08:53 PM
Worryingly tempted to do a late change to a song that’s based on a viral video 🤷♂️
Posted by: ✖ leww ✖ 29th August 2020, 01:51 AM
Excited for this one!! Loving my entry and buzzing to dive into these new discoveries.
Posted by: Bré 29th August 2020, 02:01 AM
21 hours left for any more entries
Seems most of us confirmed pretty early so should be spared another final day trainwreck of double confirmations solely because we probably aren't going to get many entries at all on the final day Only awaiting Republic of Adonia, Singerpurear, Tartford and Trifoski out of last month's entrants. x
Posted by: Popchartfreak 29th August 2020, 09:21 AM
oops got nothing prepared. Time to dig through my personal charts old or new then...
Posted by: Popchartfreak 29th August 2020, 09:33 AM
That was quick. Was going for current then went oldie by the same act
Posted by: AH Gold 29th August 2020, 03:43 PM
Confirmed.
I'll search for a back up (in the likely case this will get veto'd)
Posted by: ✖ leww ✖ 29th August 2020, 03:59 PM

OOH!
Posted by: gooddelta 29th August 2020, 07:42 PM
I've done a last minute reconfirmation, have just switched to the other of the two that I've been flipping between and will push back my previous confirmation by a month.
This one is more summery and uplifting, so I want to get it in while the sun is still out!
Posted by: ɥɔʇᴉq 29th August 2020, 08:42 PM
I'm not feeling it this month so Elëdan are officially withdrawing.
Posted by: Thom Kay 29th August 2020, 09:34 PM
Where am I going to get my Russian darkwave bangers now 
Incidentally I’m very close to changing to the reason I came back to the contest in the first place, but given it’s an almost guaranteed flop, idk
Posted by: Bré 30th August 2020, 07:08 PM
Final song list has now been approved without any further vetoes or double confirmations, hooray for this month being less of a headache xx
We have 62 entries so Klum can thank Pavel for gifting him an AQ by withdrawing 
Posted by: *Callum 30th August 2020, 08:53 PM
Is there no reveal of the entries tonight?
Posted by: Klumzee 30th August 2020, 09:09 PM
an AQ my first one ever! 
But also the pressure of voting in both semi finals!! 
Posted by: J00psyMethyd 30th August 2020, 09:20 PM
Klumgratulations
Posted by: Klumzee 30th August 2020, 09:22 PM
I'm made up already! 14 non-consecutive qualifiers in a row I believe! And I've still gone for a song I think a lot of you will enjoy!
Posted by: J00psyMethyd 30th August 2020, 09:45 PM
Well I hope you come 2nd again bc I have this in the bag
Posted by: Addy!(By Demand) 30th August 2020, 09:47 PM
Hmmm excuse me. I have this on the bag.
