Surprise bitches xx

Hopefully some of y'all are around, I'll be revealing the entries one by one at 7:30, thought it would be fun to do with the descriptions people gave and to give each one a bit of spotlight!

Posted by: BridgeCow 3rd August 2018, 06:13 PM

Hyped.

My description wasn’t exactly very interesting tho lmaoooo whoops

Posted by: lewistgreen 3rd August 2018, 06:14 PM

I'm sure I had only written 2 words for mine oop

Posted by: Jüpiter 3rd August 2018, 06:19 PM

Fun! Looking forward to :3

Posted by: Liаm 3rd August 2018, 06:30 PM

The songs will be revealed in order of running order, of course as decided by Random.org!


Alteria // Me First and the Gimme Gimme Gimmes – Believe
“The song has been given a punk-rock feel, has a male singer.”



First up is Alteria, Brett-Butler’s country with a re-invention of a BRAYFAVE Cher’s Believe is the biggest selling song by a female in the UK and is known for being her own re-invention 30 years into her career, re-vitalising it. Will a twist on a classic be received well here?

Posted by: Brett-Butler 3rd August 2018, 06:33 PM

Groovy. I don't expect anyone to be surprised by what I've gone for.

Posted by: Liаm 3rd August 2018, 06:33 PM

Terra Avium // Swingrowers – Mr Sandman
“An electro swing cover of the classic 50s pop song with a new arrangement”



Chez has sent a song that takes us decades back but brings it into the present day! Mr Sandman is probably one of those songs a lot of people know from TV and film, so how will a total shake-up go down??

Posted by: Jüpiter 3rd August 2018, 06:36 PM

Oh my god I love this already Chez how random

Posted by: Liаm 3rd August 2018, 06:38 PM

Aeroche // Notize – Demons II (ft. Fura) [Kant Remix]
“It's a remix of a song that samples another song that was also previously a BJSC entry.”



Lew has decided on a song that is a sample of a cover of a Persephonian BJSC entry! Far less known than the first two songs.

Posted by: Bré 3rd August 2018, 06:38 PM

Well my issue with the Cher song is the vocoded vox of the original so hopefully I'll like this version more I guess!

Thought Terra Avium was a Metallica cover for a second

edit: yas I figured out Aeroche's entry from Lew's post in the thread, Fura for justice pls x

Posted by: Jade 3rd August 2018, 06:40 PM

Hyped, me and Bray following IRL accompanied with Chinese takeaway shortly, goals x

Ooh I know the original of Chez's song (probably from film / tv as pointed out) so I'm very interested to hear it in electro-swing form haha.

Posted by: Liаm 3rd August 2018, 06:42 PM

Fljótavík // Tori Amos – Smells Like Teen Spirit
“Piano and vox cover of classic 90s grunge anthem”



Another classic re-imagined, a lot of you may know Tori Amos and she’s brought her usual spell-binding style to something that EVERYONE will know and most of us love.

Posted by: FrankLuck 3rd August 2018, 06:43 PM

Yay, hyped for this! Watching Australian Survivor atm, but will keep checking the thread!

Posted by: Liаm 3rd August 2018, 06:46 PM

Persephonia // Black Banshee – Teen Pregnancy
“Instrumental is a mashup of samples/remixes of Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five's 'The Message' and Boards Of Canada's 'Sunshine Recorder', vocals are sampled from an episode of Degrassi. The video I linked is also an edit of a Simpsons episode (it's just a Simpsonwave meme video but it contains the entire song and it fits well so I'm sending that instead of the audio link x)”



Well Bray said it all x Very different to what’s been revealed so far, I am aware of Simpsonswave, the wonder of the breadth of weird stuff on the internet eh?

Posted by: King Rollo 3rd August 2018, 06:46 PM

Little known fact,Believe by Cher contains a sample from an ELO song called 'Prologue' from 1981.

Posted by: Liаm 3rd August 2018, 06:50 PM

Cadelicia // CUT_ - Papaoutai
“English translation”



Oliver’s gone for an English cover of a previous top 20 BJSC hit by Stromae for Juranabaijan, with different production. Will it do well again in English??

Posted by: Bré 3rd August 2018, 06:50 PM

The artist name there should be Blank Banshee x

This is a song I had as a potential for the main contest for over a year but idk if I was ever gonna get around to it so this theme seemed like a good excuse as any, since it's made completely of recycled elements! (Like pretty much the entire vaporwave genre x)

Interested to see how 'Papaoutai' sounds in English!

Posted by: BridgeCow 3rd August 2018, 06:51 PM

Omg Bré’s looks intersting

Posted by: Cody Salton 3rd August 2018, 06:52 PM

VAPORWAVE

I don’t get why that is a meme

Posted by: Liаm 3rd August 2018, 06:53 PM

FSR Rontvia // Alex Christensen & The Berlin Orchestra - L'amour Toujours
“The track is an orchestral ballad cover version of a Eurodance classic.”



Rich has gone for an orchestral version of a huge Eurodance hit from the early 00s that never quite made it to the UK. How will this go down with a solid dance fanbase in BJSC who I’m sure are very aware of the original?

Posted by: BridgeCow 3rd August 2018, 06:55 PM

Omfg

Posted by: Bré 3rd August 2018, 06:56 PM

First one so far where I don't think I know the original but here for orchestral reworkings x

Posted by: Cody Salton 3rd August 2018, 06:56 PM

ooh, very j’adore commercial

Posted by: Liаm 3rd August 2018, 06:57 PM

Ojnoj // Tinchy Stryder ft. Melanie Fiona – Let It Rain (7th Heaven Remix)
“Instead of a mid-slow tempo rnb pop song, it's now a euphoric, mid tempo club banger.”



Jonjo opts for a forgotten top 20 hit lifted into a club track by the ever reliable 7th Heaven, after being vetoed with the Alan Walker mix of This Is Me by Keala Settle, ofc one of the biggest hits of the year.

Posted by: cantthinkofaname 3rd August 2018, 06:58 PM

Y'all do realise this is actually my sister singing right?

Posted by: Jade 3rd August 2018, 06:58 PM

7th Heaven bangers *.* the original of 'Let It Rain' is decent enough but hoping this remix enhances it a lot.

Posted by: Liаm 3rd August 2018, 06:59 PM

omg

Posted by: BridgeCow 3rd August 2018, 06:59 PM

Wait what!!

Posted by: Cody Salton 3rd August 2018, 07:00 PM

Jafet king of celebrity family members

Posted by: Liаm 3rd August 2018, 07:03 PM

Holland-Oates // Weezer – Rainbow Collection (ft. Hayley Williams)
“Look I think this will be veto-ed but it's worth a cheap shot”



Gr8 explanation 😉 The original of this song is from the Muppets, with rock band Weezer re-interpreting it alongside Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams (cue cries of CHEAP!1!1!). The warm heart of the original is kept whilst giving it more a rock edge in places as expected from the artists behind it.

Posted by: Jüpiter 3rd August 2018, 07:03 PM

Oh I actually know Ojnoj's :') blast from the past when I used to listen to loads more dance pop

Posted by: cantthinkofaname 3rd August 2018, 07:06 PM

Yeah that's my sister Björt lmao.

Posted by: Cody Salton 3rd August 2018, 07:06 PM

adjdhdksb an entire Muppets rock cover album?

Posted by: Liаm 3rd August 2018, 07:10 PM

Séyetana // Seycara Orchestra – Shelter
“An orchestral version of Porter Robinson & Madeon's 'Shelter', to make it more emotional and uplifting.”



Another one vying for the dance fans to be won over by an orchestra, the original song’s anime video was beautiful I remember.

Posted by: King Rollo 3rd August 2018, 07:10 PM

Some interesting entries so far,looking forward to listening to these.

Posted by: BridgeCow 3rd August 2018, 07:11 PM

Oh my god Iz I love you I can’t wait to hear that

Posted by: FrankLuck 3rd August 2018, 07:13 PM

Nothing I know so far, some very interesting entries!

Posted by: Bré 3rd August 2018, 07:15 PM

Now I am very interested in this Séyetana entry! Could potentially be a fave from the description.

Posted by: Jüpiter 3rd August 2018, 07:16 PM

Gah Iz's song is beautiful, very Studio Ghibli

Posted by: travis 3rd August 2018, 07:17 PM

Wow Iz, what a gorgeous track

Posted by: Cody Salton 3rd August 2018, 07:18 PM

the weeb jumped out

Posted by: Iz 3rd August 2018, 07:20 PM

Aww, this hype, you're making me blush!

Been in love with this version (as well as the original) for ages.

Just got to this thread so scrolled past a lot of others but it looks like there's a lot of interesting stuff, Chez' and Dexton's, and I guess Rich's and Bré's too.

Posted by: Liаm 3rd August 2018, 07:22 PM

Aesthetica // GIA – Straight Up
“Vocals and production heavily differ from the original version by Paula Abdul. It gives the song a brand new feeling.”



The singer behind Beaverdonia’s BJSC entry Only A Girl returns for Travis’ country, with a blog-poppy atmospheric and darker version of Paula Abdul’s 80s classic.

Posted by: Cody Salton 3rd August 2018, 07:23 PM

wasn’t this sent to masquerade last year?

Posted by: Jüpiter 3rd August 2018, 07:26 PM

Oh yay Only a Girl girl

Posted by: Liаm 3rd August 2018, 07:29 PM

Oops momentary pause - there's another that kinda needs to be replaced, been a tough week for me/Phil/Lindsey who were mostly overseeing this so apologies I'll PM both now but lewistgreen/travis are going to have to change (didn't realise the former was a Sugababes sample and they obv have an AF)

Posted by: ¡ʎpp∀ 3rd August 2018, 07:30 PM

Omg scandal

Posted by: Liаm 3rd August 2018, 07:31 PM

I'll keep going and have PMd both and will just add them at the end

Posted by: ¡ʎpp∀ 3rd August 2018, 07:32 PM

So who is changing the entry, me or Rich?

Scandal 2.0

Posted by: Liаm 3rd August 2018, 07:33 PM

Oh lol Rich submitted first, if you could re-confirm ASAP (through the form or PM doesn't matter really) that'd be fab!


And it's not a "scandal" nbf with what's happened this week I'm sure some of you are aware of, a few entry clashes were the last thing on my mind

Posted by: Cody Salton 3rd August 2018, 07:34 PM

It’s okay you guys. Take all the time you need.

Posted by: Jade 3rd August 2018, 07:34 PM

Dw Liam it happens, no surprises that we're having some repeats when the spinoff resources thread is about 2 years out of date. Loving this so far!

Posted by: dandy* 3rd August 2018, 07:35 PM

What happened?

Scandal interval!

Posted by: 5 Silas Frøkner 3rd August 2018, 07:36 PM

Yeah sorry crew, lounge mod chat somewhat took up all of our energy this week with a few delicate situations

Posted by: Bré 3rd August 2018, 07:37 PM

Oop x ah well, I'm sure we can iron out these lil clashes quickly. Hopefully the rest of these should be fine

Posted by: lewistgreen 3rd August 2018, 07:38 PM

Lmao sorry guys bare with

Posted by: Cucumberella 3rd August 2018, 07:39 PM

i even searched for that Gia one KNOWING i'd seen it somewhere before and for the life of me could not find where it was from (even thru buzzjack's search function), so if its masquerade then yes.

as for overload, i knew about that sample but did not make the forum connection!

Posted by: Liаm 3rd August 2018, 07:40 PM

I knew I recognised but I thought someone had just played it on Plug Buzzjack's search function really isn't the best.

Posted by: ¡ʎpp∀ 3rd August 2018, 07:41 PM

Let me have my daily drama lol.

Just teasing and will reconfirm hopefully shortly

Posted by: Liаm 3rd August 2018, 07:42 PM

One word - permaban

Posted by: travis 3rd August 2018, 07:43 PM

Posted by: Bré 3rd August 2018, 07:45 PM

That's a bit of an extreme response to accidentally recycling a Masquerade song

()

Posted by: Cody Salton 3rd August 2018, 07:46 PM

Posted by: Brett-Butler 3rd August 2018, 07:47 PM

And there was me starting to regret not sending this song in to this contest, glad it made it from someone else.

Posted by: Liаm 3rd August 2018, 07:47 PM

Ok back on it, Lewis decided to pull out as he didn't have a re-confirmation


Aesthetica's replacement...




Obligitary K-Pop bop, sampling En Vogue!

Posted by: 5 Silas Frøkner 3rd August 2018, 07:48 PM

Who said it was for that incident of recycling

Posted by: Liаm 3rd August 2018, 07:49 PM

St. Burbia // Astrea – You’re Not Alone
“90s dance banger (by Olive) turned into a fully blown ballad”



V Love Island dumping background music x Ben/Burbe has gone for a lovely ballad version, I was gonna say John Lewis but people use that a bit pejoratively

Posted by: Cody Salton 3rd August 2018, 07:49 PM

we love a last place

Posted by: Jade 3rd August 2018, 07:49 PM

Oh I think travis' reconfirmation is the first one of these I know so far due to being played on plug before!

Posted by: Brett-Butler 3rd August 2018, 07:50 PM

It has been used in an advert for Lloyds Bank...

Posted by: Liаm 3rd August 2018, 07:52 PM

Jupiterdonia // MNEK – White Noise (Full Crate + FS Noise Remix)
“It's 1) a cover of Disclosure that's 2) a genre-shift from the original song”



Fresh from his Pride spin-off smash, MNEK is back! Can this cover of a 2013 smash do the business as much as Tongue did?

Posted by: Bré 3rd August 2018, 07:52 PM

I know that from the advert, a pretty nice version! (Although Tinchy Stryder's > x)

Posted by: King Rollo 3rd August 2018, 07:53 PM

I love the Olive song so I'll be interested to hear that version.

Posted by: Liаm 3rd August 2018, 07:54 PM

Aelandor // Bear McCreary – All Along The Watchtower
“Cover of Bob Dylan/ Jimi Hendrix song. Very different instrumentation.”



Jacob takes it back a few decades with a classic cover! Not sure I recognise the original by name.

Posted by: Leonardo 3rd August 2018, 07:54 PM

Just caught up, only know the Olive cover so far, which I briefly considered myself.

Posted by: travis 3rd August 2018, 07:55 PM

Posted by: Liаm 3rd August 2018, 07:57 PM

Tartford // Emmanuel Seigner – You Think You’re A Man (Yuksek Remix)
“A modern house interpretation of Divine's 1984 hit”



AH Gold brings us biggest hit of one of the most influential drag queens of all time, with a modern twist. The original was a DNQ for New Lexico in the main contest, can this do a bit better (inb4 “it already did it’s in a final” x)?

Posted by: Liаm 3rd August 2018, 08:01 PM

Land of DW // Groove Coverage – Moonlight Shadow

“The original is Mike Oldfield's classic from 1983 - this one is from 2001, one of the best (dance) re-inventions of the era”




A big classic re-imagined from Frank and I am aware a fave of some participants here (Jade stans iirc), how will an early 00s dance mix go down here?

Posted by: dandy* 3rd August 2018, 08:01 PM

Permaban? Who has gone? I feel so out of this loop!

Posted by: Jade 3rd August 2018, 08:02 PM

The original 'Moonlight Shadow' is a masterpiece I think I've heard that version maybe once ages ago so looking forward to being re-introduced to it!

Posted by: BridgeCow 3rd August 2018, 08:03 PM

Awwwww Lewis

Posted by: Liаm 3rd August 2018, 08:03 PM

Bøtanikkä // TEEMID - If You Had My Love (ft. Alva Heidt)





(Addy re-confirming as I got to him in the order, spooky x)

This is a J-Lo classic transformed into deep house banger.

Posted by: Liаm 3rd August 2018, 08:04 PM

Regina got permabanned and it was a bit of a personal thing so me and the Lounge mods were dealing with that, obv that includes Lindsey who is spin-off mod and Phil who's in charge of BJSC it was just a bit stressful and I didn't put as much time into this leading to the odd oversight!

Posted by: Cody Salton 3rd August 2018, 08:05 PM

echoing what I said with travis’ entry

Posted by: Bré 3rd August 2018, 08:06 PM

Can't say I was much of a fan of the original 'You Think You're A Man' but I don't think it helped that it was potato quality I do like a couple of other songs by Yuksek though so hopefully this should be an improvement. Excited to hear Land of DW's as well, does look a little familiar so I might have heard it a while ago as well.

Aw at Thelonia pulling out D:

Posted by: King Rollo 3rd August 2018, 08:06 PM

The original Moonlight Shadow is another favourite of mine.

Posted by: Liаm 3rd August 2018, 08:08 PM

Flynnonda // AAA Girls – Heather (ft. Stacey Layne Matthews & Manila Luzon)
“It is a parody/Homage to We Belong Together By Mariah Carey.”



Our dose of Drag Race in this spin-off comes courtesy of Harry from All Stars 2 winner Alaska, Celebrity Big Brother’s Courtney Act and controversial queen Willam, together known as the AAA Girls. This is the only parody in this contest!

Posted by: dandy* 3rd August 2018, 08:08 PM

I so miss everything! Sounds ‘eventful’ :-/

Btw not worrying or bothered about the oversights, it’s fine!

Posted by: Liаm 3rd August 2018, 08:10 PM

Unovia // SLUMBERJACK – Paper Planes (ft. K Flay)
“A more melodic vocal, with string production and some EDM flecks”




My own entry is a cover of a classic 00s track from M.I.A., from two previous BJSC artists! K Flay had a top 10 for Hushkanukia with Can’t Sleep, whilst SLUMBERJACK is behind Fracture, one of my floppier entries. This is from Triple J’s Like A Version and I really love the interpretation of it!

Posted by: Liаm 3rd August 2018, 08:14 PM

Lotunia // BTS – Fake Love (Rocking Vibe Mix)
“Soo, This is a remix of the song "Fake Love" by the same band. The remix is more influenced by the rock genre - Acoustic(?) guitars, bass and drums. So, a bit different from the original. Also, I know this is a bit cheap - them (BTS) being very popular etc, so if this goes completely against the spirit of the contest i'm fully prepered to change my entry ^^”




NocheLuna said it all – BTS are popular but don’t really have a fanbase on BJ so especially in a spin-off this is fine!

Posted by: Jade 3rd August 2018, 08:16 PM

Ooh the original 'Fake Love' is solid so I look forward to a rockier version of it, sounds interesting.

Posted by: Liаm 3rd August 2018, 08:18 PM

Cor Lupus // Sibewest – The Colour
“Witch House/Neo Trance rework of ICE MC - Take Away The Colour ('95 Reconstruction)”




Again unsure I’ve heard this original so idk what to say that Cody didn’t

Posted by: Jade 3rd August 2018, 08:19 PM

Quintessa // Lane 8 – Every Night
“The original was a Motown hit, this samples into into a feelgood dance track about being alone.”




Leonardo brings us another modern dance re-work of a classic, bringing it right into the present day.

Posted by: BridgeCow 3rd August 2018, 08:24 PM

LANE 8 OH MY GOD I LOVE THAT SONG I LOVE YOU

Posted by: Liаm 3rd August 2018, 08:27 PM

Jadakissnia // Tigerstyle - Nachna Onda Nei
“Turns a Michael Jackson classic into a bhangra banger - ENOUGH SAID *.*”



Enough said indeed, I was v intrigued as soon as I saw this description!

Posted by: Liаm 3rd August 2018, 08:29 PM

Harmonica // Campsite Dream – Dreams
“Original was 90s R&B, this version is dance/tropical house and more uptempo”



A re-working of Gabrielle’s debut! I think I heard this and wasn’t a fan oops but I’ll see if it grows through the course of this.

Posted by: Jade 3rd August 2018, 08:31 PM

Yassss *.* my second Britain's Got Talent inspired spinoff entry after 'Temptation' earlier in the year, but connected to a way more relevant act this time (Signature) instead of a random bellydancer both from the same series though, in 2008 *_* anyway, what an absolute tune!

Posted by: Liаm 3rd August 2018, 08:32 PM

PRoJ // The Beta Band - Squares
"It samples Gunter Kallmann Choir's "Daydream" differently to how I Monster sampled the song in 2001, showing how one sample can be interpreted differently by 2 different bands. This charted, but at number 42. It adds to the song and although uses a sample creates a new track out of it."



Not sure I've heard of this before, excited to hear

Posted by: Liаm 3rd August 2018, 08:34 PM

Rolloland // Peter Gabriel - Heroes
"No rock instruments,just an orchestra"


Perhaps one of the most famous songs of all time, this version strips it down and is another orchestral version of a classic here!

Posted by: Liаm 3rd August 2018, 08:37 PM

Ultraviolenceland // Hannah Grace - Praise You
"WAH"



Lol at "wah", this is another advert ballad version of a dance classic, after Sam got beaten to You're Not Alone!

Posted by: Bré 3rd August 2018, 08:38 PM

I recognise the title of Jadakissnia's from poring over 2008 charts (a UK #62 hit, cheeeeeaaaaap!!1) but don't think I have heard it! (I didn't watch BGT at all until 2009).

Harmonica bringing Gabbiel impakt x

Posted by: Liаm 3rd August 2018, 08:41 PM

République d'Áskorza // Starley - Touch Me
"It is sort of a cover of Groove Theory - Tell Me with some updated lyrics"




Starley has been entered with Call On Me which became a UK hit, and here she is again for AShton!

Posted by: BridgeCow 3rd August 2018, 08:42 PM

oh that's quite a bop

Posted by: Liаm 3rd August 2018, 08:42 PM

South Danaelanda // Patrick Topping - Be Sharp Say Nowt
"Samples 'I Know I've Been Changed' by LaShun Pace turning it from gospel song to tech house anthem"



Vaguley heard of this but never listened so now I can!

Posted by: Liаm 3rd August 2018, 08:47 PM

Cowtermont // Abacus ft. Cimone Everybody's Got To Learn Sometime (I Need Your Loving)
"Drum n Bass remake of The Korgis - Everybody's Got To Learn Sometime"



A song I've heard many covers of if it's what I'm thinking of, here's another to add to it!

Posted by: King Rollo 3rd August 2018, 08:51 PM

The Korgis original is wonderful. I hope I'm going to like a drum n bass version.

Posted by: Liаm 3rd August 2018, 08:52 PM

Hushkanukia // Unicq Mercy



A French BOP that samples Diana King's 90s hit Shy Guy, our penultimate entry.

Posted by: Liаm 3rd August 2018, 08:54 PM

Skall // Utada Hikaru - Final Distance (M-Flo version)
"Energetic, ahead-of-its-time dance remix that's at double the tempo of the original pop ballad."




All I can say is a big fat YAS and hype to this, QUEEN

There we go, voting thread will go up soon and apologies again for the hiccups

Posted by: Bré 3rd August 2018, 09:03 PM

Thanks for this Liam, quite a few here in the end where I don't think I know the originals at all (although I suspect that might be the case for other people with my song too tbf) but looks like a good variety of different spins on the 'reinvention' concept ~

Posted by: BridgeCow 3rd August 2018, 09:05 PM

yeah thanks for doing this Liam! Quite a few songs here I really wanna hear, and a few I already love

Posted by: Chez Wombat 3rd August 2018, 09:14 PM

Ooh I missed all this, oh well, my entry for this I was gonna enter to the main contest but was a bit afraid it might have got ignored. It's quite unlike me and fits this contest a lot better so here's hoping it was a good choice!

Looks a good inspired, set of songs for the most part. I LOVE that version of Shelter so wonderful to see Iz enter that I've also heard those versions of Praise You and You're Not Alone on the adverts before, they're fairly nice c

Posted by: HarryEzra 3rd August 2018, 09:19 PM

I feel I have heard a few allready (South Dan, Ultraviolenceland of the top off my head) but excited!

HYPE to The AAA Girls <3
