Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Cuzzick, New Lexico for the commencement of proceedings for the 104th edition of the BuzzJack Song Contest. It is here that people from the far and wide of the BuzzJack World will come to confirm their participation. The rules of engagement are really quite simple and they be thus:
1. Anyone may participate if they are a registered member of BJSC. For information on registration, please refer to the New Country Registration Thread

3. Your song must not have been entered to a previous edition of BJSC.
4. You may not enter the same artist that you sent to BJSC 103.
5. You may not enter any artist that finished in the top 3 of BJSC 103 (Metroplane, Bree Runway, Freya Ridings or Eric Whitacre)
6. All entries will be subject to a Moderator Veto. If your song is deemed to be against the spirit of the competition you will be notified via PM that the entry has been vetoed. you will then be asked to reconfirm with a different song. For a full explanaition of the Veto Rules, please refer to the Veto Framework.
7. Due to failing to vote in the final of BJSC 103, #00274E, Alteria, Avalonia, Beaverdonia, Elëdan and United States of Jack are barred from entering this edition of BJSC.

Confirmed!

TIME FOR SOME UPLIFTING TRANCE
Posted by: Addyland 7th April 2018, 05:25 PM
Confirmed as well 
who is ready for some dramatic opera house?!!!
Posted by: Leonardo 7th April 2018, 05:31 PM
Confirmed!
Posted by: Jade 7th April 2018, 05:41 PM
Confirmed my 1990s drum and bass #longsongbloc instrumental banger *.* likely to cause reactions like this:
I uploaded it myself (unlisted right now so my 9 subscribers don't get an advantage x) as all of the versions on YouTube don't have the best sound quality. So hopefully it won't get taken down. Also, I found a 20 second video of a toy squirrel dancing to my song on YT so that will serve as the official promo video soon.
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 7th April 2018, 05:51 PM
Gone for an Indian-infused tropical house track that is very likely to once again come last.
Posted by: M. 7th April 2018, 05:56 PM
Have confirmed something that realistically I'm not sure more than like 5 weirdoes will like but I enjoy it and wanted to share it trolol. plus Jade chose it, not me 
Posted by: Iz 7th April 2018, 06:08 PM
Confirmed. Séyetana are going back to their roots (and for those of you newer to the contest, that doesn't mean anime, it means something else and it means HYPE).#briz
Posted by: Liаm 7th April 2018, 06:09 PM
This contest already sounds v to my tastes xxxxxx
I've actually confirmed what I might usually call EDM noise for now, idk what subgenre but I love the vocals and the way it builds.
Posted by: Bré 7th April 2018, 06:11 PM
Not even Unovia sending something that sounds Unovia friendly x
(Séyetana going metal again then? Hype x)
Posted by: Jade 7th April 2018, 06:11 PM
T-Swizzle literally created 'Look What You Made Me Do' just for this moment. (hyped to find out what weird song I made you send
)
Posted by: Chez Wombat 7th April 2018, 06:12 PM
Actually finding it a bit hard to pick between songs from this artist, so many wonderful seven minute witch house songs! *. I think I have my preferred one though. Get ready for a trip to the stars~
Also some of these descriptions are making me quite excited for this contest.
Posted by: M. 7th April 2018, 06:15 PM
)well I DO hope you happen to be one of the 5 weirdoes who like it
(jk ur not a weirdo)
Posted by: danG 7th April 2018, 06:19 PM
Trancaelanda are back this month!
Posted by: Addyland 7th April 2018, 06:21 PM

Sounds like something I might stan...consider me hyped!!!
Posted by: Liаm 7th April 2018, 06:22 PM
Wikipedia says techno/alt-R&B but I wouldn't really say that 
Posted by: Addyland 7th April 2018, 06:24 PM
That sounds like Snake owns that page
.../jk.
Posted by: UltraReputation 7th April 2018, 07:00 PM
Entered my return entry! You're not ready. x
Posted by: AH Gold 7th April 2018, 07:05 PM
Confirmed
Posted by: BridgeCow 7th April 2018, 07:14 PM
Confirmed! With an amazing progressive house/trance (?) banger, pls don't let me flop again xx
Posted by: Jüpiter 7th April 2018, 07:17 PM
Confirmed! Less alt and weird this time than our last few 
Posted by: Vülker 7th April 2018, 07:23 PM
Confirmed 
Posted by: The Snake 🐍 7th April 2018, 07:28 PM
Confirmed. Sent a song I found that actually sounds like it will do REALLY well for once, so expecting big things! 
ohmy.gif
Posted by: dandy* 7th April 2018, 07:45 PM
Confirmed with something I may well change... it's just something I heard this week and found so catchy - although possibly could get annoying before the contest even opens!
Posted by: Lindsey 🙃 7th April 2018, 08:01 PM
Shall i go with a kinda lowkey indie bop, a hot mess electronic dance thing that idek how to describe but is kinda iconic??? Or a bit of dark-ish pop? I acc need help
Posted by: travis 7th April 2018, 08:10 PM
Confirmed! May end up changing it, but only time will tell~
Posted by: BridgeCow 7th April 2018, 08:10 PM
Hot mess electronic dance thing PLS
Posted by: The Snake 🐍 7th April 2018, 08:45 PM
x2
Taahino doesn't go dance much iirc so that would be interesting.
Posted by: Cameron 7th April 2018, 09:11 PM
Hushkanukia are BACK!
Posted by: Jonjo 7th April 2018, 09:15 PM
I've confirmed. Back to pop. *.*
Posted by: dandy* 7th April 2018, 09:16 PM
I've changed my mind already and gone back to my favourite track right now... you will all need to give it time to grow though please x
Posted by: Harve 7th April 2018, 09:22 PM
I will also be joining the #longsongbloc. BUT Plug can breath a sigh of relief as the runtime clocks in at mere 4:18. The song title, on the other hand, has 17 words, and I will insist on use of its full length at all times, regardless of any formatting problems that this may cause.
Posted by: King Rollo 7th April 2018, 11:24 PM
Oh no! My record of longest BJSC song title with 'Standing Outside A Broken Phone Booth With Money In My Hand' is under threat. I hope your 17 words are all short words.
Posted by: Dobbo 8th April 2018, 12:36 AM
Gone for something sounding absolutely nothing like anything I've sent before, this should be interesting.
Posted by: Dexton 8th April 2018, 02:19 AM
Confirmed! I've gone for funky dance this time, quite different from my previous entries but that might be a good thing Early Disclosure vibes x
Posted by: lotita. 8th April 2018, 01:36 PM
ready to break my Q streak with some JPOP *.*
Posted by: lotita. 8th April 2018, 01:38 PM
think 4 minute hate crossed with bang bang *.*
Posted by: Selena GoHome 8th April 2018, 09:33 PM
i ended up just sending some maximalist synthpop, quite endearing and anonymous so i might stick with it
Posted by: Riser 9th April 2018, 03:52 AM
I had a song saved for BJFestivalen but think I'm gonna send it now instead, it's a recycle of a former artist I've sent and would be more than special enough to mark my 40th entry! I love it even more than her previous entry and would have everything crossed that it does well.
Posted by: M. 9th April 2018, 07:40 AM
Oh, welcome to the 40th entry club!!
Posted by: Tombo 9th April 2018, 07:57 AM
I hope my song gets in, it seems to fit through the veto framework but time will tell
Posted by: cantthinkofaname 9th April 2018, 08:39 AM
Confirmed, hoping to do better than fourth-to-last this time 
Posted by: Dexton 9th April 2018, 10:01 AM
Count yourself lucky x
Posted by: cantthinkofaname 9th April 2018, 10:04 AM
Huh?
Posted by: Mack. 9th April 2018, 12:09 PM
Entered.
Posted by: 5 Silas Frøkner 10th April 2018, 01:30 PM
Ashton has confirmed! Staying with Germany this month
Posted by: Liаm 10th April 2018, 03:02 PM
Re-submitted, a pop bop with some rocky influence *.* It has of a bit of an odd post-chorus "drop" sort of thing for want of a better word but I was going off my other one whilst this grew.
Posted by: Iz 10th April 2018, 03:24 PM
Ich auch! I'm surprised it's only the second time I've ever been to Germany, although I also went Danish for the first time last month so I'd say this year is me branching out a little.
Posted by: M. 10th April 2018, 05:31 PM
I've gone to Bosnia and Herzegovina! Which is something pretty random for me but I enjoyed the trip Yay for a new nationality for my entries and of course I had to go check the 'Nationalities of your entries' thread to see what else has been entered from said country (if anything), the only thing that came up was a South Danaelanda entry! Maybe there have been others but they're just not listed there.
Posted by: Selena GoHome 10th April 2018, 05:32 PM
omg my entry is japanese *.
Posted by: Bré 10th April 2018, 05:37 PM

Maybe there have been others but they're just not listed there.There have been 3 Bosnian acts in Worldvision at least
(including a pretty great one from Lew in this year's edition x)After sending 3 new nationalities in the last 3 contests I'm going back to being boring and sending an American act again.
Posted by: M. 10th April 2018, 05:43 PM
(including a pretty great one from Lew in this year's edition x)Oh why of course! I guess I was more interested in the regular contest in this case tho. That Lew entry was quite something, went to listen now *.* (but mine is completely different lol)
Posted by: Liаm 10th April 2018, 05:43 PM
Finnish for me for the first time since Haloo Helsinki I believe!
Posted by: dandy* 10th April 2018, 06:23 PM
Australian for me, in honour of SmileyKylie.
Posted by: danG 10th April 2018, 08:01 PM
I'm going Moldovan for the first time!
Posted by: Berrier Cody 10th April 2018, 08:04 PM
It’s another first for me, I’m going Dutch!
Posted by: Dobbo 10th April 2018, 08:13 PM
American for me again, which didn't go too well the last time but hey ho.
Posted by: Chez Wombat 10th April 2018, 08:14 PM
I’m going Russian, because isn’t that place just flavour of the month atm.
Posted by: LexC 10th April 2018, 08:17 PM
(Re)confirmed a Brazillian tribal bop
Posted by: Addyland 10th April 2018, 08:39 PM
I hope Thelonia makes a comeback this edition <3
Posted by: Oliver 11th April 2018, 06:31 PM
Recycling Aeroche for a second month in a row (completely unintentional).
Posted by: Tombo Tingz 11th April 2018, 06:37 PM
I've gone British
Posted by: LexC 12th April 2018, 06:31 PM
Gentle reminder that you have until close of play Saturday to confirm an entry, so CONFIRM YOU BITCHES!
Posted by: HarryEzra 12th April 2018, 09:26 PM
I don't see flynnonda on the list did our confirmation not come through?
Posted by: LexC 12th April 2018, 09:29 PM
It did, I just hadn't updated the list yet [/flopmod]
Posted by: Jacob~ 12th April 2018, 10:49 PM
Think I'll be confirming but not 100% decided yet, been keeping the deadline on my mind though!
Posted by: Jacob~ 12th April 2018, 11:01 PM
Submitted a placeholder for now that I've been loving for months, tbh I'll probably leave it too, it's a great tune.
Posted by: Dexton 13th April 2018, 11:12 AM
I'M RECONFIRMING
I found something way better from the same artist, bye bye Disclosure vibes

We're not sorry </3
omg Pnau *.*
Posted by: Jonjo 13th April 2018, 12:05 PM
Gah. When you guys check the blog coverage, is that those that specify the remix? (Not arguing haha. Just interested coz I find the original a bit boring and the remix improves it tenfold/it's quite different to the original haha)
Booooo though 
Tryna find something to reconfirm with.
Posted by: cantthinkofaname 13th April 2018, 12:26 PM
lmao had no idea PNAU had been attempted before since this is only my second contest. such an epic song and video tho 
Posted by: Vülker 13th April 2018, 12:37 PM
Fair enough, I knew it was a stretch to confirm Tokyo Nights but I had to because the song just clicked with me from first listen, probably my favourite track of this year so far. Sorry to have given you the trouble!
I'll reconfirm plan B which was plan A before Tokyo Nights came about.
Posted by: Popchartfreak 13th April 2018, 02:46 PM
confirmed, hoping it's not booted out as I quite fancy qualifying this time around, Singerpurear need some love
If not I'm going all out DNQ 60's girlie pop singalong
Posted by: Vülker 13th April 2018, 03:04 PM
Well plan B has already been entered. Plan C I'm not too sure of and Plan D is a certified DNQ again so I don't have an entry.
Posted by: Berrier Cody 13th April 2018, 03:15 PM
I say if you love it or not you send it and take the L
Surely Shaun Frank being sent twice sent some red flags?
Posted by: 5 Silas Frøkner 13th April 2018, 04:47 PM
Yeah it is. The blog coverage list was substantially longer in 100 when the perfectly lovely and non-boring original version was vetoed

Posted by: Jonjo 13th April 2018, 08:51 PM
Thanks for clarifying though.
Posted by: 5 Silas Frøkner 13th April 2018, 10:05 PM
I think the vetoes in 100 got overshadowed!!
No worries, always happy to clarify and demystify the process!
Posted by: FrankLuck 14th April 2018, 06:05 AM
Really wanted to send pop to welcome back Sam + Cam aaaand finally I found something I'm really happy with 
(It's not the kind of pop that they would appreciate, but life is not perfect.)
Ready to take back my place at the bottom of the semi.
Posted by: Oliver 14th April 2018, 07:23 AM
Just added a YouTube link in for my entry Lex, will do an MP3 later today/tomorrow.
Posted by: Lindsey 🙃 14th April 2018, 01:48 PM

Posted by: Addyland 15th April 2018, 12:47 AM
Are we on 60 entrants or little less than that?!
Regardless, I'm excited to find out what everybody have submitted
Posted by: LexC 15th April 2018, 11:29 AM
thank you everyone for your confirmations, at close of play we have 57 participants this month which means that your glamorous hosts and them alone will automatically qualify for the final. Please stay tuned for the opening of the semi final thread which should be...soon.
Posted by: gooddelta 15th April 2018, 11:35 AM
Damn, an AQ would have been nice to soften the blow of losing the win on a tie but I keep missing out in these 50/50 situations
Posted by: Dexton 15th April 2018, 11:35 AM
I don't think i'll ever not say this buttt.... how many entries did we have last month?
Posted by: UltraReputation 15th April 2018, 11:36 AM
(It's not the kind of pop that they would appreciate, but life is not perfect.)Ready to take back my place at the bottom of the semi.
Yasssss *.* Ready to hear it anyway

Posted by: Bré 15th April 2018, 04:04 PM
Consider me interested ;o x
