In a similar nature to other song contests across the site, this will be voted in the same way of the real life Eurovision Song Contest. The names of the posters who sent the songs have been kept anonymous. You may therefore give your favourite song 12 points and rank the others with the following system below. Also, you cannot vote for yourself, sorry.
Anyone can vote, even those who never entered

I would have entered this if I had a pop song in mind but I recognise a few of those jamz 
I will vote in this
Posted by: Cody Collins Jun 11 2016, 07:18 PM
Well looks like not going cheap will be my downfall
Hope people appreciate the wee link to my song 
Posted by: Regina Jun 11 2016, 07:20 PM
Rainbow is like, the worst Sanna song ever, shame on whoever sent it.
Yass to whoever sent Kari though <3
Posted by: Silas Jun 11 2016, 07:25 PM
Rubbish! Rainbow is lovely. It's far from her best but it's certainly not Sanna's worst effort.
Posted by: AdamAloud Jun 11 2016, 07:25 PM
Someone forcing me to listen to Meghan Trainor, this shall not be forgotten come rate time.
Posted by: Silas Jun 11 2016, 08:20 PM
It looks like a pretty good line up of tracks, although there seems to be a few 'power' mid-tempos. Going to be tricky balancing voting for some of my favourite artists/songs with voting for songs that actually fit the theme.
The person that sent Molly Sanden isn't just barking up the wrong tree, they're in the wrong forrest. Come on, Why Am I Crying or Spread A Little Light are right there! (and are better both being absolute MOMENTS)
Posted by: AdamAloud Jun 11 2016, 09:48 PM
Voted! Incredibly early but what better way to spend a Saturday night than with power ballads and the screams of despair from next door's England Euro party.
Posted by: Chez Wombat Jun 11 2016, 09:51 PM
Well, it's going to be tough to pin which song came from which poster here I'm going to stick out like a sore thumb here, not sure if that'll be a good thing or not.

I tried to confirm Freak but I wasn't quick enough </3
(i didn't realise mf songs would be accepted)
Posted by: gooddelta Jun 11 2016, 09:56 PM
Didn't have time to look for a song for this but there are some great songs here. Notice is like something from Corrs' Talk On Corners, such a great song <3
The Carolina Liar song is a forgotten/underrated gem too. Not sure how that wasn't a huge global hit.
Posted by: Mdh Jun 11 2016, 09:57 PM
Crap. Forgot to confirm .
Posted by: Qween Jun 11 2016, 10:45 PM
There's not a lot of POWER behind most of these. I wished I could have sent I Surrender by Celine, which is basically my ultimate power ballad, but that was too cheap even for me.
Posted by: Regina Jun 11 2016, 10:57 PM
I Surrender out-powers every song ever and then some *.* Celine at her best.
A lot of these acts have much more suitable songs tbh, Ruelle for example. She doesn't have any power ballads but a few that can kinda pass for one, this song certainly doesn't. Molly has tons better songs too. Shame. Having drums does not a power ballad make.
Posted by: Qween Jun 11 2016, 11:09 PM
I Surrender could provide power for the entire UK for 3 weeks. FACT.
Posted by: Qween Jun 11 2016, 11:10 PM
Basically, my entry should be OBVIOUS. It will flop, but it is everything.
Posted by: Regina Jun 11 2016, 11:13 PM

I tried pming you to remind you of a certain Toch ballad , but your inbox was full lmao

Posted by: HarryEzra Jun 13 2016, 09:38 PM
I was thinking will there be a listen through if not I can host one if you would like?
Posted by: Cameron Jun 13 2016, 09:44 PM
There will be a listen through at some point this week dates are TBC but thank you for offering Harry
Posted by: HarryEzra Jun 13 2016, 09:47 PM
dates are TBC but thank you for offering Harry Ah good, thats good because I have not got round to hearing the songs oops
Posted by: Dobbo Jun 13 2016, 09:49 PM
Gonna be a tough ask to listen to & rank all these as well as the BJSC semi but will do my best to!
Posted by: Mdh Jun 13 2016, 09:52 PM
!!!!! Missed opportunity I'm rueing right now
Posted by: Cameron Jun 14 2016, 03:49 PM
There will be a listen through at 8pm tonight on plug, I will post the link shortly 😁
Posted by: princess_lotti Jun 14 2016, 03:52 PM
it will be here! https://plug.dj/buzzjack-listen-throughs
Posted by: spun Jun 14 2016, 03:56 PM
A beautiful poppy song came on shuffle last night
I hope to make the session tonight.
Posted by: Bré Jun 14 2016, 05:09 PM
Completely missed this thread opening! I'll be voting immediately after the listen through I think ~
There are at least 2 songs here I know already and I like both of them (Carolina Liar and Diana Vickers). This is promising.
I can't remember what my song sounded like as I haven't listened to it since I confirmed it I hope it fits the theme well enough, it was certainly a ballad but perhaps not a particularly 'power' one ~
Posted by: Cameron Jun 14 2016, 06:48 PM
Listen through in 15 mins
Posted by: Bré Jun 14 2016, 09:15 PM
Lmao I don't even really like my own song that much tbh, mess
Voted now anyway x
Posted by: Jade Jun 14 2016, 09:16 PM
Voted! This was far more enjoyable than I expected!
Ivy Levan hype. Loved that Bond sound!
Posted by: Chez Wombat Jun 14 2016, 09:41 PM
I was impressed with this contest, I was worried the songs wouldn't really be my thing but there was a lot of really good songs here and my votes were all solid.
The foreign language ballads in particular all brought it <3
Posted by: Cameron Jun 14 2016, 10:18 PM
Glad you guys enjoyed the songs! We put a lot of effort into this remember you have just under a week to vote 
Posted by: Jonjo Jun 16 2016, 06:15 PM
About half way through and I hear the ballads, but WHERE IS THE POWER!?! 
Where are your Celines? Where are your Bonnie Tylers?
Posted by: Cameron Jun 18 2016, 07:44 AM
Reminder that voting closes Monday night
Posted by: Cameron Jun 19 2016, 07:01 AM
Reminders will be sent out tonight
Posted by: FrankLuck Jun 19 2016, 05:29 PM
I'm not a power ballad-expert, so I simply voted for the songs I liked 
Quite a good edition actually, I'm happy that it wasn't My Heart Will Go On 25x.
Posted by: *Tim Jun 19 2016, 05:41 PM
I boted
