Good evening everyone and welcome to the Grand Final of the Buzzjack Song Contest 84. Congratulations to all the countries that have made it this far, and commiserations to all of those that were sadly knocked out in the semi-finals. This time next week we'll know who Yehesi will be passing the torch onto; will it be the odds on favourite Farc, a double win for Yehesi, or even a win for hosts Cadelicia?
Please submit your votes via PM to myself, http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?act=Msg&CODE=4&MID=15367, using the standard big final 18/15/13/12/11/10/9/8/7/6/5/4/3/2/1 voting structure. Please do remember not to vote for yourself; you won't be gaining anything and you'll be lumped in the same category of Aquafina* (you don't want that now do you??? *sorry Lee!!) You have until 11:59pm on Monday 30th May 2016 to get your votes in; results will commence approximately 7pm on Tuesday 31st. Anyone who misses this deadline will receive a 33% deduction to their score and will be unable to participate in next month's contest. There were 5 countries who fell into this trap last month, don't emulate them!!! As a final warning, make sure not to vote for yourself as I will PM you to re-submit your votes (in a friendly manner of course, none of this "GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER MISTER" business)!!
To listen to each song, simply click on the draw number for each country. Your entry will turn orange when we receive your votes.

Finally, good luck to all of this month’s participants. We hope your favourites get through!
Ooh near the end! Y'all better not leave early when the Dub session for this happens
John The Baptiste / Yothu Yindi to win. That is all. x
'2685' in the death slot :')
...probably voting last minute again as I'm at Hawaii at the moment but I will get them in. Eventually.
Last in the final for the third month in a row!!
Is anyone around for a dub session at about 8 tomorrow?
8pm tomorrow sounds good to me! Shall be there unless something comes up.
pls can you alter the spelling of my country oliver to 'FARC'
thank ye
x
I should be fine for then if I get enough revision done
Voted! Actually a strong final for me in the end, I wanted to vote for 19 songs. Loads of songs have grown on me since the first listen through...one song in particular is up there with Blue Lights, 10,000 Luchtballonnen and Monody as one of my favourite entries of the year, so infectious <3
Tinnmark have voted!
all ready for the dub session at 8 tonight! lurking is BANNED
eek i hope ethanola doesn't get too bad of a reaction without me being there [will be eating at 8]
should be there in time to witness you all being slayed by mickey tho
My body is ready
I shall definitely be there tonight for the whole thing. Hyped *.*
I shan't be there unfortunately, someone updub my faves for me.
I should be there for some of it. If it's as tough a listen as most of semi 2 then I don't think I'll quite have the energy for the whole thing.
I will be there against my own interests (who even needs to revise?)
i might drop by - don't all faint!
just flicking through semi 1 for the first time. What?! at Medhelnia, Ingermanlandia Summericia and Greenfroze not being the final
(and Kluminican republic too and Persephonia is one of the most experimental in BuzzjackSC I'd guess)
I shall be there as well, despite biochemics sideyeing me right now
(We are there already for a pre-party if anyone is interested)
Dammit Bré get that revision done, else you'll just become like me! (i realise that sounds like a good thing but y'know)
I'll be casually visiting the dub session to support my faves and such ~
BJSC final listen through is starting at 8 in this room: https://www.dubtrack.fm/join/buzzjack-room come join!
The final turned out to be well spread out - random.org did good!
Sending my votes very shortly! After initially thinking the semis were underwhelming there are a few more songs I wish I could've pointed.
the final turned out to be pretty good actually! Some of my faves from the semi's got lost in the lower end of my votes:(
VOTED my top 5 were all 18 worthy, it was super hard to order
I feel this final was missing a lot of pop influence, it was still good though. I don't think I will ever say this again but thank god for Joseph
HEATHEN. KILL IT WITH FIRE
Listen through stats Thank you Tim for keeping track for most of the session when I couldn't!

V pleased at the Vulky reception there. #2! *.*
Mulgy though
Reaction deserved a better, erm, reaction tho
Thanks Lindsey
Absolutely shocked I'm anywhere near that high! Doubt that will happen in the actual results but would be fantastic if it did!
That top 2 is hella strong jeez
Well that's a come down from the semi listen, I should have been there to at least add an extra dub so it could get into that top 10 Vulkyria coming out of nowhere though
I'm here for a Vülkyria smash, grown on me loads from the semi. It's very 'Sunchyme' *.*
Shall send my votes either tonight or tomorrow ~
Okay I've voted now! My 18-07 section in particular is absolutely incredible, I had a really tough time ordering them.
I can't at Desbuanda and Harmonica being in the lowest portion of the Dub stats, going to throw out some massive hype for both!
Oops at those dub results for TRXD. Still now sure how I qualified.
My votes have totes been sent
Only three commiserations this month, I was thinking it might be more as the earlier songs in the dubtrack sessions were quite good but it died a bit near the end.
Votes sent. Ready to slay the competition.
12 down-dubs ~ i figure Angolan kuduro dance music is an acquired taste~
boted ~ one of the best contests yet, my top3 are certified bangerz
Oh my days! Hype!
Hope it does well. "Sunchyme" is very much the comparison to make, soundtrack to my Summer! Hope everyone is enjoying it as much as I am!
Votes sent. We're ready:
I'm expecting to vote in this quite last minute. Won't fail to do so tho!
Thanks to everyone that has voted so far, keep them coming!
I don't usually care for the dub stats but this is an interesting turn up for the books.
Voted! It was actually a better final than I was expecting going off the semis Lots of growers as well
Voted
Boted
You have just under 26 hours to vote everyone. I'll be sending out reminders once I wake up tomorrow morning.
Voted. Had to weigh up what is probably one of my favourite unknown songs of recent years against feelings of BITTERNESS AND HATRED AND ENVY.
.
Plenty of growers, still probably one of the easier finals to vote in in the end (as not very many of my nemeses got knocked out in the semi) but there's still a very good cadre of songs in the top end of those I have voted for.
Voted. I'm glad my entry isn't right after the piano instrumental on the tracklist, that transition would have been a little too abrupt!
Danaelanda have boted.
TARO Bellamia boted last night, a lot I like but little I love, too much rubbish too
Right, reminders have been sent to everyone apart from Michael as his inbox is full. If you're reading this Michael, you have until 11:59pm TONIGHT to get your votes in.
michael you better not forget!!!!!! #tenniscourtjams
voted ! rly strong final
ugh do I have to
jk, will start listening shortly!
Voted~ We definitely made the best possible final here, really loved my top 15 this month. Am so here for a FARC/Vulkyria top 2 if those Dub stats are anything to go by <3
Voted! Fairly happy with my choices, in love with my top 5.
Voted finally! Struggling with these 40+ song finals though! :/
On my final speed listen. Any last minute offers of bribes should be returned to my inbox with the appropriate paperwork.
jade to slay all my holes
also kylienips is BAE
voted! not a vintage month but all my voted for songs and some five more were lovely.
also kicking myself that i didn't even think to send salt ashes, tho i probably would've been too late anyway. high hopes for 'drop' anyway. PLUS i think i have something golden for next month 👌
Voted
Votes be sended. My top 5 is all fiyah and possibly my best BJSC top 5 in years but beyond that I'm not desperate to come back for more of the rest.
Eh... gonna have to agree with Lex here. The top 4 in my votes were just spectacular summer songs and I can get back to at least my top 8 in terms of playlisting, but there's been waaaaaay too much middle ground that it became hard to arrange my trickle points. Oops at them being so late into the voting period, kinda almost completely lost interest in this.
GO AEROCHE THOUGH. Best song by Leww by FAR.
Coming back wth a vengeance next month though. I think I may have a winner.
My votes will be sent in just a sec Oli ~
Voted! Quite a good selection of songs here after a poor semi-final. Had too many songs to give points to and my Top 5 would easily get the top score in any other edition. Hoping Vülkyria's hype will translate into another good position for us but I'll equally be happy to see quite a few other tracks winning it!
Can I please remind everyone that I need a complete set of correct votes from you all, and make sure it's in a format I can understand.
Psychic Olivur.
I haven't even sent my Postit note yet
Votes will be sent as soon as I can figure out which damned country gets my 1 point, it's between two
(aaand sent)
Still waiting for;
Beaverdonia
Desbuanda
Federal Republic of Ashton
Ingermanlandia
Skall
Thelonia
You have 15 minutes guys.
T'inquiète x
Sent.
Need a couple mins extra for an image host so already sent me votes in now and the image in a couple mins more.
FRd'Á (our preferred acronym) has voted!
Voting is now closed!
We have a winner everyone!
Thelonia and Ingermanlandia haven't voted so unfortunately they'll not be able to participate next month. Don't worry though, their votes will not have changed the final outcome.
Which means the winner is ahead by at least 37 points
