Yes friends it's that time again, welcome to the Green Room for the 98th Buzzjack Song Contest hosted by Quintessa. This will be held in the nation's second largest city, Vanna Rosa as the capital (Copperelli) recently hosted the 80s spin-off and cannot afford to host another contest until in can pay off the massive fireworks debt. Those of you in want of snazzy Kye-esque graphics, will have your expectations severely dashed over the coming weeks.

These are the planned dates for this months contest;


CONFIRMATIONS: 21st August til 27th August
SEMIS VOTING: 28th August til 3rd September
SEMI RESULTS: 4th September
FINAL VOTING: 4th September til 10th September
FINAL RESULTS: 11th September


Good luck in finding wonderful and diverse new entries to ensure my first main contest will be a good one, happy hunting.

I'll be taking advantage of my AQ this month, to go for my preferred genre of choice the "slow indie songs with gorgeous production". This time in Korean!

Yay! dance.gif

Posted by: Liаm Aug 18 2017, 08:18 PM

I've got a Spanish bop or an Italian pop tune ohmy.gif Hopefully these confirmations don't open while I'm on a plane on Monday laugh.gif

Posted by: JosephStyles Aug 18 2017, 08:21 PM

Got a banger lined up *.*

Posted by: Shaphne Aug 18 2017, 08:23 PM

I'm torn between a Bieber meets Zayn type tune or a dark electro bop that will make comic book fans happy.

Posted by: AllWeKnowOfSpadz Aug 18 2017, 08:26 PM

knew it was only a matter of time before the next contest tongue.gif glad to be back to dance again! Hopefully the remixer won't get vetoed but the original isn't that much different.

Ooh exciting!! This contest I plan to unleash a lush Bollywood meets trip-hop song. Something a bit different for us~

Of couse I want that - I gave part 1 12 points tongue.gif tongue.gif

But at me doin a Maths

Posted by: King Rollo Aug 18 2017, 08:32 PM

Rolloland will be entering a dance tune for the first time. I'm not an expert on dance sub-genres but I believe it can be described as 'electroclash'.

Posted by: MoistSummerFruit Aug 18 2017, 08:35 PM

Don't worry - TheSnake can clear that up later tongue.gif

So you're planning to sleep for 103 hours when the final is up? biggrin.gif

I'm following Jordan from the last contest in sending a song that is currently not on YouTube, SoundCloud, iTunes or Spotify magic.gif It does have a pretty cool video on Vimeo though which I shall try to have uploaded to YT in time for the plug sessions ~ and I do have an mp3 from Bandcamp thankfully!

Sending a dark synthtastic delight ~ my excuse if it flops is 'it would have won in 2013'. I have a better feeling about it than most of my recent entries though. *proceeds to DNQ*

Posted by: MoistSummerFruit Aug 18 2017, 08:42 PM

I had one of those ... then lost thr obscure link :sideye:

Posted by: ⓐⓦⓐⓡ^ Aug 18 2017, 09:01 PM

I'm sending something current which might not push the boat out in the same way Bailando did, but it's a risk I'm taking regardless! *.*

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds Aug 18 2017, 09:06 PM

Sending something I think could do well or get nul points for being 'generic' laugh.gif

Posted by: King Rollo Aug 18 2017, 09:10 PM

Awardinary,you might need to edit your post. A quick search on google reveals the song you are entering.

Posted by: J▲hq Aug 18 2017, 09:12 PM

Have something in mind but I'd be recycling myself again, a rather recent recycle at that. But it's definitely been my favourite song of the past couple of weeks thinking.gif

this is how I feel with almost EVERY entry I send! laugh.gif

Posted by: 5 Silas Frøkner Aug 18 2017, 09:37 PM

I'm going back to Scandinavia. This time to Sweden for a healthy self-recycle coz I've not done enough of that in the past 97 countries!

Posted by: mdh Aug 18 2017, 09:39 PM

yesss Medhelnia is back!! sending a female dance-pop banger that Dan probably liked

Posted by: Meatball Cody Aug 18 2017, 09:41 PM

I... may switch lanes and send something that's not me at all, and if that fails I'm sending something that's totally me and risking my streak.

This is literally the first time where I'm absolutely stuck and nothing sticks out to me saying "Send me! Send me!"

Posted by: Meatball Cody Aug 18 2017, 09:43 PM

Now that I think about it DNQ'ing would be a shitty birthday present so I hope this doesn't happen!

Posted by: Chez Wombat Aug 18 2017, 09:44 PM

I could potentially get an AQ here so I've gone for some ancient Scandinavian folk *. If I don't get an AQ, I'm definitely DNQing, but you feel a lot freer when you've just finished 2nd~

Well colour me intrigued.

Posted by: StillJupiter Aug 18 2017, 10:38 PM

So soon!

I have three potentials in http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=203271 (Jupiterdonia), please come and give me some feedback on which you like the most! There is pop!

Well hopefully you have better luck than we did laugh.gif

I finally have some strong potentials to pick from, not anticipating a major comeback hit per se but I'm at least confident of breaking my DNQ streak.

Posted by: Leonardo Aug 18 2017, 10:43 PM

Argh! Now I have a second potential, still in Korean/English but this one's more pop.

Posted by: lewistgreen Aug 18 2017, 10:53 PM

Sticking with the UK and returning to dance music proper.

Posted by: Iz~ Aug 19 2017, 12:03 AM

I've been holding off on my current leading song for a couple of months, I might go with that, it's a very energetic modern banger.

Posted by: Cucumberella Aug 19 2017, 12:05 AM

definitely gonna go for full-out sigala style dance banger

Posted by: Addy K!ng Aug 19 2017, 02:35 AM

Yes :hype:

I am going pride and anti-trump type of song...of course accompanied with a very touchy video wub.gif.

If that fails then I will probably look at my list and pull out something from 90's or 00's

Posted by: Meatball Cody Aug 19 2017, 07:17 AM

UGHHHHHHHH now I have no idea what to send

Posted by: MoistSummerFruit Aug 19 2017, 07:24 AM

Send yo potenshes to meeee and Oi will decide and we can have a Beaversonia rechnical feature in t contest!!

Posted by: Oliver Aug 19 2017, 07:29 AM

Those timings are just about right, going Italy on the 28th but should be back in time to not have to use the holiday procedure.

Posted by: *Tim Aug 19 2017, 09:13 AM

I have about 10 bangers rn, idk what to send #FirstWorldProblems

Posted by: danG Aug 19 2017, 10:40 AM

if everyone's going with bangers this contest then hopefully that means my non-banger stands out somewhat.

Posted by: LexC Aug 19 2017, 10:47 AM

I've got a few options I'm considering. One's a nice bit of Turkish ethnopop and there's this quite cool Italian RnB bops but I've got a very strong sense the latter would get passed over by everyone except D'yermak'er.

Oh no, it definitely stood out. Just not for the right reasons

Aesthetica will be making their triumphant return to the contest after having the last month off, and just in time for our 1-year anniversary in BJSC!

Our track is very Eastern-influenced and uses imagery of reincarnation to bring together one solid masterpiece that is a perfect fit for our return. This is the rebirth of Aesthetica, hold on tight to your wigs!

Posted by: Leonardo Aug 20 2017, 01:12 PM

I'll be opening confirmations approximately 6PM tomorrow, if you wanna try and confirm early.

Posted by: lewistgreen Aug 20 2017, 01:13 PM

HYPED.

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds Aug 20 2017, 02:01 PM

I'll be on a plane then oops sad.gif

Posted by: Leonardo Aug 20 2017, 02:11 PM

Everyone being on a plane when I open the contest dry.gif

Posted by: Cherry. Aug 20 2017, 03:26 PM

LMFAO I'll be in the airport with Jacob and Iz :')

Posted by: Liаm Aug 20 2017, 03:33 PM

Oh I'll just be at the airport then lmaoo so i'll be ok to confirm in time.

Posted by: lewistgreen Aug 20 2017, 03:35 PM

I won't be tomorrow. But I will be flying when the semis open laugh.gif

Posted by: AllWeKnowOfSpadz Aug 20 2017, 03:39 PM

I am going camping tomorrow night also laugh.gif of course I will be able to vote for everything if all goes to plan.

Posted by: Suedehead2 Aug 20 2017, 03:40 PM

I had a song in mind for last month before deciding to sit the contest out. I shall probably use it this month instead.

Posted by: Capybréra Aug 20 2017, 03:46 PM

I was thinking I was gonna be in a car at the time confirmations open tongue.gif not as fancy as a plane xx (6pm should be just about ok though lol)

Posted by: *Tim Aug 20 2017, 03:47 PM

I'll be on a plane during the final results #PlaneClique

Posted by: Dobbo Aug 20 2017, 03:50 PM

Ill be flying back just in time for the Semis opening! Ideally I'd have been on hol during them for a playlist to listen to but ah well.

Posted by: 5 Silas Frøkner Aug 20 2017, 04:01 PM

I'll be just home, I hope! Probably stuck in the office tho

Posted by: Addy K!ng Aug 20 2017, 04:26 PM

I will be doing mani/pedi when confirmations open tongue.gif

Posted by: Meatball Cody Aug 20 2017, 05:33 PM

When math gets that call at 3am, he'll be sleepin' folks!

Posted by: gooddelta Aug 20 2017, 06:18 PM

I'll be...at home, but would rather be on a plane.

Not that I'm expecting to have to fight anyone for my entry!

Posted by: AllWeKnowOfSpadz Aug 20 2017, 06:29 PM

Really hope no one goes for mine when I'm camping... tempted to get data just in case laugh.gif

And yes, people have stolen my floppy entries before.

Posted by: Shaphne Aug 20 2017, 06:38 PM

I might be in the bathroom when they open, I hope I can get my song in sharpish.

Posted by: danG Aug 20 2017, 07:18 PM

what's everyone doing on a plane tomorrow?

Where about in Poland?


(it's so much quicker & cheaper to fly to Scotland from anywhere below Manchester)

Why would you get on a train for like 20x the price lmao

Posted by: danG Aug 20 2017, 08:20 PM

I'd take a plane over a train any day, trains are ridiculously overpriced and not half as exciting as planes.

Posted by: 5 Silas Frøkner Aug 20 2017, 08:23 PM

I much prefer to fly. When I lived with my folks it was either Fly to London or spend more money and half a day getting the train. Popping down for a quick trip makes so much more sense by plane.

Exciting really isn't a factor I think about when trying to get across the country tongue.gif It's a lot easier to listen to my music on a train than on a plane

(basically ik I'm losing this argument so i'll shut up now)

Posted by: ⓐⓦⓐⓡ^ Aug 20 2017, 09:45 PM

This is already shaping up to be a great contest, before any confirmations have been sent too. biggrin.gif

Krakow is a lovely city so enjoy it. Auschwitz is obviously the sort of place people should visit if at all possible.

How long are you there for?

You see a lot more from a train and spend a good deal less time sitting around waiting for something to happen.
