BuzzJack Music Forum _ Buzzjack Song Contest _ 🍻 BJSC 84 | Green Room 🍻
Posted by: Oliver 2nd May 2016, 07:00 PM
Hello everyone and welcome to Windevale, city of eternal winter. We're proud to be hosting the 84th edition of the Buzzjack Song Contest on behalf of Yehesi, who scored their first win last month with the fun and uplifting "10.000 luchtballonnen", sung by Belgian/Dutch girl group K3. Listen to last month's winner below, and gasp at it's marvel.
A Little About Us
Cadelicia is a small country on the continent of Quilvoria, home to nearly 3 million people. Straddling the equator, Cadelicia basks in glorious weather in the far north and south of the country. Windevale, the capital of Cadelicia and this month's host city, is high up in the Windevalian Mountains; this causes a vast change in temperature and climate, bringing darkness and colder temperatures to the city (perfect for skiing and honing your snowman making skills)! The country was recently granted permission to extend the northern border to the coastline, due to the partial land acquisition of Jamora, and have used this as a way to gain more tourists (by offering sun, sea AND snow to budding travellers).
During the country's 32 month life in the BJSC, there has been varied success. Cadelicia has multiple top 10s to their name in both the main contests and spin-offs but only one win, stemming from the second Christmas spin-off. Last year we hosted the 5th edition of Re:LOADED, and hope to make Yehesi proud by providing a polished edition of the main contest on their behalf.
Green Room
This is the Green Room, where you can discuss all of your preparations for next week's confirmations thread. Where is your act from, and what genre do they represent? Will you be playing it safe, or will you take a risk in the hope of giving your unique song the chance of recognition?
Please don't post any major spoilers about your entries in this thread or the Confirmations thread. If you feel the need for a little bit of help deciding on your entry, you may PM trusted allies with potentials (WARNING: discretion is advised). However, DO NOT reveal your actual entry, either on here or on any social media, to anyone until the Semi-Final threads have been opened.
Timeframe
Below is the provisional timeframe for this months contest, pending moderator approval. I've tried to keep to a Sunday/Monday opening or closing of threads as these seem to be the days where most of us are available. This is also the reason for the longer than usual Green Room thread.
Confirmations | 08/05/2016 - 15/05/2016
Semi-Finals Voting | 16/05/2016 - 22/05/2016
Semi-Finals Results | 23/05/2016
Final Voting | 23/05/2016 - 29/05/2016
Final Results | 30/05/2016
We hope you have fun during your stay in Cadelicia, and don't forget to pack both your summer and winter essentials! xx

TITTI TAKEOVER IS COMING
Posted by: Cody Is The Name 2nd May 2016, 07:17 PM
I promised myself that I wouldn't send dance this contest, and I'm sticking by that. I'm also praying there's WiFi when I'm at Hawaii (though there likely will be if there was WiFi in Italy).
Probably might not be there for final results though
Posted by: danG 2nd May 2016, 07:22 PM
I've got 2 big potentials at the moment, I'm either sending a house song or... another house song 
Posted by: Qween 2nd May 2016, 07:24 PM
I have loads of potentials for the first time in months, so any assistance would be most appreciated.
Posted by: dandy* 2nd May 2016, 07:27 PM
I'm going cheap retro 80s track.
Posted by: Bré 2nd May 2016, 07:27 PM
Persephonia are going Lebanese this month with our second Arabic language entry. The war on the English language returns.
Posted by: Vülker 2nd May 2016, 07:33 PM
ooh, I shall be confirming live from Stockholm. 
Posted by: Jade 2nd May 2016, 07:33 PM
After being swamped with potentials I am now set on an entry for this contest! Sending a French producer this month so that's a new nationality in the bag. The vocals are back and I'm absolutely in love with this. Dripping in synths, a lil bit dramatic and a cool pixelated video to go with it.
Posted by: mdh 2nd May 2016, 07:34 PM
Missing the final *unless* I have Wi-fi on holiday 
Oh, also, can someone with decent BJSC knowledge and a taste for trap and tropical house give me some opinions on if my two potentials are BJSC friendly & any good pls 
Posted by: Cal 2nd May 2016, 07:47 PM
Thought I'd have to sit this one out seeing as I'm heading to Copenhagen at the end of the month for work but those dates are fine! Hurrah!
I have one song in mind that I was going to send last contest but changed my mind... The group might be too way well-known so I'll have to use the framework before I confirm eeek.
Posted by: Liаm 2nd May 2016, 07:49 PM
I'm going electronic but not dance/cat alarm.
Posted by: mdh 2nd May 2016, 07:53 PM
Please

Anyone need help can PM me I dont mind it 
I am sending psych pop
Posted by: lewistgreen 2nd May 2016, 08:07 PM
British dance banga coming your way ~
Posted by: spadogs 2nd May 2016, 08:09 PM
Excited for the usual dance block members but I may be sending something not so dance this month (or I may not enter at all this month depending on the dates and exams etc)

Posted by: spadogs 2nd May 2016, 08:17 PM
)Alright, I have never actually shared a potential to someone for opinions (well I used to just play potentials on plug/dub a lot without saying they were potentials) so I'll PM you what I'm thinking (hopefully it hasn't already been sent but it's a new upload)
(btw iirc I found Rush when I was subscribed to the Armada channel
)
Posted by: Rob S 2nd May 2016, 08:50 PM
Hmm I'm still looking for something I'm happy with, most of the songs I have come across don't sound like they'd do anything :/ tricky 
Posted by: Regina 2nd May 2016, 08:56 PM
All this mention of dance :/ as if BJSC wasnt getting boring and samey before....
Posted by: LexC 2nd May 2016, 09:04 PM
The semis will open once all of Uni is done (ARGH!) for me so those dates are good.
Song wise I'm cashing in my 50th Entry tickets with a song that I adore from a few years ago but fortunately I think most of the people in BJSC nowadays won't have heard it so it kinda works out okay. Hoping to carry on the closest thing I've ever had to a hit streak here!
Posted by: Chez Wombat 2nd May 2016, 09:07 PM
Well, good thing I'm not sending Dance then ;o
I've got an instrumental in mind (SHOCK etc.), but it's a little different to the previous ones I've sent. That's about all I can say about it rn~
Posted by: notfurlong 2nd May 2016, 09:08 PM
I'll be on holiday for most of the final voting so gonna have to squeeze some listening in somewhere eep
I have something I love but not sure how wise it is as an entry. as last month I have a playlist with a few potentials so if anyone has the time to listen pls let me know!
Posted by: Cameron 2nd May 2016, 09:12 PM
I have some potentials that vary from pop, pop and pop.
Any help would be appreciated!
Posted by: Bré 2nd May 2016, 09:16 PM
Happy to listen if you would be ok to find some YT links again lol (or just send the song titles) ~
(will listen to anything anyone else sends me as well so if you want my opinions for whatever reason go ahead x)
Posted by: Qween 2nd May 2016, 09:19 PM
I'm happy to listen to anything anyone has to, so PM away
Posted by: JakeWild 2nd May 2016, 09:52 PM
so defo got mine but someone
message me to confirm
Posted by: ℒ𝓲𝓷⻤ 3rd May 2016, 12:17 PM
Feminist rock-rap track lined up for Taahino *.*
Posted by: princess_lotti 3rd May 2016, 01:18 PM
*.* #let'sgoladies
Posted by: JSG 3rd May 2016, 02:59 PM
I'm undecided between two songs at the moment. Both are amazing though
Posted by: Mattias 3rd May 2016, 03:17 PM
I had (have?) oh so many potentials that I've gathered over the past few months, but I'm not really passionate about sending any of them anymore. Might go with a Hungarian pop banger I found in my search for a Worldvision entry. Watch this space ~
Posted by: burbe 3rd May 2016, 07:26 PM
I've got a song! Can't wait to get going!
Posted by: spadogs 4th May 2016, 07:57 AM
A song just came on shuffle and it gave me Sigala teas. Hmm...
Posted by: Bré 5th May 2016, 12:26 AM
Finding myself very tempted to switch to a different song (by the same artist, so still going Lebanese / Arabic language x) which is far more risky, as it doesn't quite have the same instant earworm qualities. Hmm ~ Still got a while to mull it over I guess lol.
(I will listen to your songs tomorrow David I promise. x)
Posted by: Addy K!ng 6th May 2016, 01:24 AM
Girls, I am coming for that long due second win 
I just can feel it.
I just have to make sure I am online on Sunday and confirm first.
Posted by: popchartfreak 6th May 2016, 11:45 AM
I'm opting for a Buzzjack-genre-first (I think). I throw down that gauntlet. Well, more of a fluffy glove actually 
Posted by: Cody Is The Name 6th May 2016, 01:45 PM
I think I've decided to go the way of BJSC 76 and send an "established" act that I'm surprised hasn't been entered yet
Posted by: Addy K!ng 6th May 2016, 10:42 PM
^^
Dua Lipa won't get past a veto Cody!

Posted by: Addy K!ng 6th May 2016, 11:38 PM
Just realized that we might actually be after the same song
Posted by: notfurlong 7th May 2016, 09:30 AM
will you tho
Posted by: ♦ ketalina ♦ 7th May 2016, 10:17 AM
david send them to me 2 bb!
Posted by: *Tim 7th May 2016, 03:52 PM
If I enter I am supposed to vote in both semi's right? Or would it be a case of me voting in 1 and Oli voting in the other?
Cause due to time constraints I am unsure if I could make it with voting in both :/
Posted by: Liаm 7th May 2016, 03:58 PM

AQs vote in both!
Posted by: *Tim 7th May 2016, 04:13 PM
Damnit, I'm gonna have to plan my lsiten thru's really well into my 15 minute breaks in between revision so I won't f*** up my participation and qualification streaks
Posted by: mdh 7th May 2016, 04:30 PM
I'm worried my track may get vetoed 
Posted by: Cody Is The Name 7th May 2016, 05:19 PM
Posted by: Oliver 7th May 2016, 05:38 PM
There have been no changes to dates so Confirmations should still be tomorrow evening (as long as nothing comes up).
Posted by: Bré 7th May 2016, 05:45 PM
I'm now stuck between three different songs by the same artist lol ~
(sorry David, about to listen to your songs now I promiseee 
)
Posted by: JosephStyles 7th May 2016, 05:46 PM
I was set on one particular song but another came out yesterday and I'd love to send that also. Think I'll go with the former and keep the latter for next month, in the hope I'm not over it by then
Posted by: Dangerous Cody 8th May 2016, 03:04 PM
Times for confirmation still a mystery?
I have a feeling Oliver will Beyoncé ha confirmations thread today
