BuzzJack Music Forum _ Buzzjack Song Contest _ BJSC 98: Confirmations

Posted by: Leonardo 21st August 2017, 05:01 PM

https://ibb.co/fucDXQ


Saluti, amici and welcome to Vanna Rosa, Quintessa in our first time hosting a contest where we don't force you to enter songs from one specific decade.

We're going to be hosting the contest solo, perthaps due to our incredible unpopularity, although we did manage to win so it kinds of dampens that particular theory.

Below are the main provisos as to which entry you can send, please try and stick to them, remember the less vetoes the quicker the semi opens.



RULES


1. Please remember not to send any existing entries, search this http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=104463 to see if you're ok to go.

2. Try not to be completely cheap and give the http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=196914 a quick read to see how well your potential fares.

3. Last months Top 3 artists are autobanned they are; Norda & Mike De Ville, Joanna Jones, Steven Wilson, Ninet Tayeb & Tigertown.

4. Also last months non-voters are also autobanned they are; the perennial Republic of Adonia and Beaverdonia. If there are any other non-voting nations from last contest, you are also banned! (I think it's just those two though)

5. And lastly don't repeat the artist you sent last month, sounds obvious but you'd be surprised.




Confirmations will remain open until Sunday 27th August 2017, 23:59PM



Please click https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfpHGYtq4wrw6X_m2Pjd6g2HyT6tZp-1WsT5qlaBWvuXI4e8w/viewform to submit your entry, In bocca al lupo!

Posted by: Oliver 21st August 2017, 05:50 PM

I've sent something that will 90% be vetoed but I had a dream last night that it didn't and someone else entered it after I decided not to risk it.

Posted by: StillJupiter 21st August 2017, 06:09 PM

Confirmed now, and my first one that feels like a veto risk. I have a backup, so...we shall see...

I have this time not gone for indie ohmy.gif

Posted by: LexC 21st August 2017, 06:24 PM

Confirmed with a bit of a bopjam

Confirmed, Förbereda sig för att bli dödad *.*

(I'm going to hate the person that makes it an odd number of confirmations kink.gif)

Posted by: David 21st August 2017, 06:38 PM

Confirmed mine. I thought it might be a potential veto, but to be honest I don't see how it can be, so we'll see how we go!

Posted by: Capybréra 21st August 2017, 06:45 PM

I wish you better luck with the ancient Scandinavian strategy than I had in BJSC 93 Chez tongue.gif I think we've only had 2 AQs once this whole year.

Posted by: HausofSZA 21st August 2017, 06:55 PM

I'm not in the UK but I think I've confirmed! Let me know if it hasn't gone through - will send mp3 when I'm back home.

Posted by: Leonardo 21st August 2017, 07:04 PM

Seems to have gone through for me, Bal.

Posted by: Leonardo 21st August 2017, 07:56 PM

Updated voter list, 31 countries confirmed so far, with no double confirmations. We're still awaiting confirmation of course from the couple dozen participants currently above international waters.

Posted by: Addy K!ng 21st August 2017, 08:05 PM

I confirmed something very politically and it addresses a very serious topic!!!

Posted by: Jonjo 21st August 2017, 11:49 PM

Confirmed my little euro pop bop. Johnkm should hopefully be on board at least!

Posted by: travis 22nd August 2017, 02:19 AM

Confirmed! Aesthetica's 1-year anniversary is under way!

Posted by: HarryEzra 22nd August 2017, 02:47 AM

I reconfirmed ohmy.gif Has it gone through?

Posted by: Harve 22nd August 2017, 05:26 AM

Going back to 2009 and sending my favourite remix ever. And I'm really surprised that the remixing artist has never been sent as he will be familiar amongst a certain contingent here~

Basically sent the love child of Lana Del Rey and Kate Bush singing a Lauren Aquilina song

Posted by: ⓐⓦⓐⓡ^ 22nd August 2017, 05:05 PM

I know it's still quite early, but with over 40 nations already signed up, can we have a watchlist on the rest of the likely participants please Bré. happy.gif

Sure ~ Countries that entered BJSC 97 and aren't banned + aren't in the current confirmed list:

Aelandor
Azure
Bignia-Zaragovina
Buzzjack Mountain
Cumulonimbia
Daehun
Desbuanda
East Rukahavian (not expecting them to enter this time since Mack is apparently taking a break from the site)
Espen
Greenfroze
Harmonica
Hendinia
Kluminican Republic
Kylienips
Land of DW
Lotunia
Oslol
Sandebörg
Séyetana
Singerpurear
Summericia
Tartford
Triangledonia
Trifoski
Ultraviolenceland
Varakë

Medhelnia and Suedeonia should be returning for sure too (and of course there are several others that are able to enter again after being banned last month). Looks like this might be the biggest contest of the year so far, could reach 70+ if there are a couple more comebacks!

Posted by: Rob S 22nd August 2017, 05:51 PM

I confirmed two hours ago~ took me a bit of time to settle on something and this was instant for me having played it several times today so went for this!

Posted by: AllWeKnowOfSpadz 22nd August 2017, 07:02 PM

I have confirmed. Bit intimidated by the amount of confirmed countries already tho laugh.gif if it gets vetoed it'd be my first since my very early roots of BJSC where I was a cheap hoe i.e. sending Avicii & David Guetta - Sunshine or Adam Young (as remixer of LIGHTS' Saviour; if only they told me the original would have not been vetoed!!!)

btw my lead artist HASN'T been sent in before, when I looked in the list I almost thought it had but there's a letter difference heehee.gif

Posted by: gooddelta 22nd August 2017, 08:31 PM

I've reconfirmed...I had three options that I really liked but I wasn't 100% sold on any of them. So as we run up to the iconic 100th contest/10th anniversary, I think that in the absence of anything new leaping out at me and shouting 'send me', I'm going to keep sending songs that mean a lot to me/that I've always meant to send at some point during the contest's history.

Posted by: dandy* 22nd August 2017, 08:34 PM

I've reconfirmed something that doesn't sound so typically FLJ.

Posted by: Meatball Cody 22nd August 2017, 09:08 PM

I think after listening to what I sent and the rest of my potentials I think I'm settled with my song. It sounds like nothing I've sent before, it's a bit more subdued, which I think is a bit risky judging by my streak, but I hope it will appeal to people! Mind you, I got the idea to send it while I was watching Teen Wolf, so tongue.gif

Posted by: Leonardo 23rd August 2017, 12:07 AM

Also, once semis have opened if anyone, could volunteer to do MP3 packs for me that would be great, because I haven't the foggiest.

Posted by: FrankLuck 23rd August 2017, 08:38 PM

Confirmed!

I can help out with the mp3 packs if noone else volunteers, but the timing of the semis is really not the best for me, as I'm travelling Tuesday morning and will be back only on Thursday in the evening (so the mp3 packs would be ready only on Friday). So if anyone could do them earlier, go for it!

I will be entering but havent decided what yet - I have 2 new dance bangers lined up unless I go quirky as usual.

BTW congrats leonardo on winning (I was hectic busy at the time) and a worthy winner too cheer.gif

Posted by: The Hissmobile 24th August 2017, 12:47 PM

Buzzjack Mountain submitted yesterday, it is a song we found on Beatport that we really like with a darker sound than we have gone with so far (in terms of an entry its definitely more Jadakissnian in style than typical Buzzjack Mountainian!)

Posted by: MoistSummerFruit 24th August 2017, 01:08 PM

Well Buzzjack Mountain shares a border with Jadekissidonia, so it is no surprise if t sound seeps through ohmy.gif

Indeed! Forgot about Buzzjack Mountain being next to Jadakissnia!

Jadekissidonia, that is an amazing name! King Bellsprout should change his nation's name to that!

Posted by: ⓐⓦⓐⓡ^ 24th August 2017, 01:55 PM

One of my neighbouring nations is Flynnonda, who I may inquire of to do some kind of coalition someday! wink.gif

Posted by: danG 24th August 2017, 02:19 PM

South Danaelanda's neighbouring countries are Syndare, Daehun and Bignia-Zaragovina. Being next to two moderating nations is a big help to funding the S-DISCC (South Danaelandan International Song Contest Committee) but we don't allow their 'taste' to seep over to our homeland. teresa.gif

Posted by: Klumzee 24th August 2017, 03:04 PM

Confirmed! Took a while to decide this time as I didn't have a standout entry at first but I'm happy with my choice now! It'll make you say 'JINKIES!' ohmy.gif

Posted by: Capybréra 24th August 2017, 03:37 PM

The Séyetan diaspora in Persephonia has clearly been more influential on our tastes this year than usual ~ (not so true of our other two neighbours Daehun and Caerfyrddia).

Posted by: Dobbo 24th August 2017, 03:50 PM

THEO. to make a return as they are the only nation we are remotely close to.

Mainland we're closest to Terra Avium but it's still a rather long ferry journey (flights to & from Dobago atm are rather expensive but we're hoping that will soon change!)

Posted by: Chez Wombat 24th August 2017, 04:23 PM

While we're on this topic, I've just realised last contest's top 3 of myself, Quintessa and Ramrynia are all neighbours on the map, North eastern power *.* (sadly Sandeborg, Mezidinia and #00274E couldn't share the glory).

Posted by: *Tim 24th August 2017, 04:29 PM

With neighbours like Alteria, Altyr, Avalonia, Florina and Ethanola, we keep the taste around the continent on a higher average xo

Posted by: Jade 24th August 2017, 04:33 PM

I believe my only active nation in close proximity is Buzzjack Mountain (name a more iconic duo etc).

(Hyped for your song Snake *.* I actually came across a couple of cool funky house songs earlier lmao, so maybe I'll return the channelling favour sometime soon~)

I've updated the confirmations post, and changed Săó Ricó to Enty as they declared in the Country Registration thread, please let me know if you want me to change it back to Săö Ricó.

Beaverdo ia is still traumatised by our near 0 points floppage with a song we love, so will be skipping this contest to deal with emotional and toilet distress.

I didn't deliberately pick it because it sounded Jadakissnian as part of a cunning plan to emulate their success with their dark atmospheric entries laugh.gif , I just found it on Beatport, really liked it and realized it was quite Jadakissnia entry-esque with its style, although it does have more lyrics than the usual Jadakissnian entry.

Its good Jadakissnia is looking forward to hearing Buzzjack Mountain's entry!

Where did you find these funky house songs, do you look on beatport? There is a funky house section there but a lot of the songs are a bit of a mess there tbh, too fast with annoying chopped vocals. There are always some gems to be found though.

I haven't done this since BJSC 84 but here we go... I've just reconfirmed! Fell in love with an R&B song that gives me Aaliyah vibes (heart.gif) and I really want to share it with the BJSC masses, especially as I rarely dabble in this genre. The reason I'm insistent on sending it now is that it's very new whereas my original entry is from a few years ago so less likely to get snatched next month kink.gif hope this will be alright 'cause she hasn't had any commercial success and doesn't really have much of a BJ fanbase at all.

Posted by: LexC 25th August 2017, 08:14 PM

Reconfirmed. I'd gone a bit cold on the entry I had in before.

Posted by: dandy* 25th August 2017, 08:18 PM

I have no idea what anyone else will think but I've obsessed over my entry this week. For once it's not something that's subtle and takes 10 listens to grow, I think it is more like an Aeroche or Pupok entry maybe?

Posted by: dandy* 25th August 2017, 08:19 PM

Or maybe more Buzzjack Mountain or Beaverdonia, I'm not sure.

I feel kinda similarly about my entry (minus the part about Pupok, and it sounds more like an Aeroche entry from 4 or 5 years ago). I'm hoping it won't end up only being me that loves it. Looking forward to sharing it anyway as I can 100% guarantee no one would have ever heard it otherwise. x

I haven't done this since BJSC 84 but here we go... I've just reconfirmed! Fell in love with an R&B song that gives me Aaliyah vibes (heart.gif) and I really want to share it with the BJSC masses, especially as I rarely dabble in this genre. The reason I'm insistent on sending it now is that it's very new whereas my original entry is from a few years ago so less likely to get snatched next month kink.gif hope this will be alright 'cause she hasn't had any commercial success and doesn't really have much of a BJ fanbase at all.

We don't seem to be able to go a month without someone trying to send a song that was already sent these days... kink.gif Checking the Songs of BJSC thread is important!!1

Oops at Jadakissnia exiting the no vetoes club, I know the feeling (Run The Jewels never forget). I had already heard 'LMK' though - was played on Radio 1 on Monday evening when I was on the way home! - and can say it would have been one of the weakest Jadakissnia entries to date for me though so that's a silver lining at least mellow.gif x

It's rare to leave it so late to dish out vetoes for songs sent several days ago but unfortunately exceptional circumstances made it the case this month.

It's only 3 contests out of date though, this was sent 25 contests ago! Earlier this year we moved our focus away from updating the songs of and instead are transforming it into a much more accessible and new way of displaying it!

To be fair we do say pretty religiously that you can be vetoed at any time right up until the semis open and even then I'd give it 48hrs to be sure


We've been pretty on it this year but as Ryan says there was some circumstances at play. We will have a new songs of thread for you ahead of 99 for finalists that will be v.quickly updated from now on. Should have the semi finalist in ahead of 101. Work has been a lil hectic lately with a lot of long hours but it's just a fortnight till our new people start so the end is in sight!

Sorry it's a bit late this month. We know it's not nice to scramble so we do try and get back to you as soon as we can.

Still awaiting from the last contest:

Azure
Cumulonimbia
Daehun
Hendinia
Kylienips
Lotunia
Oslol
Sandebörg
Trifoski
Ultraviolenceland (hope Sam can find some time amongst spamming Taylor's single repeatedly to find a song for this... tongue.gif)
Varakë

Medhelnia also still haven't confirmed yet, although Mezidinia are back to give us our 9th return of the month so far (assuming all don't get vetoed and fail to reconfirm etc.) Hooray for East Rukahavian not leaving us this month after all *.

Posted by: Floater 26th August 2017, 11:55 PM

I've gone for something sonically comparable to Kaneholler, hopefully a good sign since 'Paper Games' is still my biggest hit from this year. Looking forward to semis opening!

That Aaron Carter song is surprisingly not bad, I thought someone would've tried it months ago but also didn't realize it was veto-worthy.

Were you the one who originally confirmed Mystery Skulls? I've just made the connection between that song's iconic Scooby Doo video and your earlier post in the thread saying 'jinkies'! That was a great song, one I actually had as a potential myself IIRC, shame it was a DNQ ~

Just checking to see my most viewed entry (at the moment it's Eres Mia with 623 mill, which probably will win) and have noticed the video I sent for Rabbit Holes has been deleted, that was one of my favourites and i'm gutted it's gone.

EDIT: Never mind, just found it was quite far down in the listings on Youtube, phew.

Posted by: Meatball Cody 27th August 2017, 09:50 PM

has anyone paged mikey?

Posted by: danG 27th August 2017, 09:56 PM

he hasn't been online since yesterday evening, eek. looks like he will miss the contest then unless anyone can contact him outside of buzzjack.

Posted by: Jade 27th August 2017, 09:57 PM

Just sent him a DM on Twitter! He simply cannot lose that streak that has lasted 97 contests so far </3

Posted by: mdh 27th August 2017, 10:00 PM

My song has just over 40k though it has been scrobbled by a fair few people on Buzzjack ohmy.gif

Ah I just thought he was Martin.

Maybe he should change his username then to M!key to avoid confusion. tongue.gif

Stumbled on something I quite like, electro epic kinda thing, so will likely reconfirm by midnight

The host of this very contest mentioned one of his entries a few posts ago with more than 600 million!

Posted by: Capybréra 27th August 2017, 10:26 PM

Daehun should take us to 71 then (unless Yu is too busy to enter this contest) - although still waiting for another reconfirmation?

This is the 5th time we've got to 70 entries assuming we don't end up dipping back below that number! (BJSC 77 is the record with 72 entries, then BJSC 75 had 71 and BJSC 87 & 88 both had 70).

And it DNQ'd, y'all weren't in the latin-loving mood that the world's in currently. Also, the biggest will probably be something like "Somebody That I Used To Know".

Yep, one country still needs to reconfirm at this stage, also dawning on me that i'll have to listen to all 70 plus countries this week, and a few times at that ohmy.gif

It's 'Call Me Maybe' which has 988m views (nowhere near that amount when it was entered obviously)

Posted by: Oricon 27th August 2017, 10:32 PM

Well if only I entered Gangnam Style a month before it exploded (I backed out as I thought it'd flop due to it'd be too polarising), but then entered the month after it had gained recognition and thus vetoed then I would've had that record.. whistle.gif

Poor Kylienips! My favourite named country. I am imagining this as not being a very nice country though, having lots of scorpions and crabs and biting insects hence the nips part of the name!

Guys, fret not as Mikey HAS confirmed due to him informing us that he'd be away in the confirmation stages. We just need to make sure the tracks he chose are inspired enough for the contest. His participation record nevertheless remains!

I'm not sure about one of the reconfirmations, I've sent them a message a few days ago with no response, I'm not sure what the normal recourse for this is.

Posted by: Capybréra 27th August 2017, 11:52 PM

'Someone' just came 2nd in the PopJustice Song Contest so it might have been one to do quite well here as well (I found it rather bland much like every other AOTN song I've heard bar that Chainsmokers remix though oops)

It was yeah! I didn't realise it had been entered as I was in the opposite semi when it DNQed and I would've assumed more people would've been talking about the really cool video!

So we've matched the record number of participants then at 72 confirmed nations?

Shame the record wasn't broken, but hopefully BJSC 100 will get a record number of participants!
