BuzzJack Music Forum _ Buzzjack Song Contest _ BJSC 105 θ Confirmations
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 7th May 2018, 04:36 PM
Welcome to Niceland! Throughout our contest we'll be showcasing some of our talented Nicelandic artists - opening the show for us is Royce:
Anyway, it's Confirmations time now! Here are some rules:
1. Any registered nations can take part - if you're new, make yourself known in the http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=175309 thread.
2. Your song must not have been entered to a previous edition of BJSC (check the http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=211939 thread for that).
3. You may not enter the same artist that you sent to BJSC 104.
4. You may not enter any artist that finished in the top 3 of BJSC 104 (Built By Titan, Starxs, Beyond the Black or NWYR)
5. If you send a song that breaches the http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=196914, our lovely BJSC mods will veto it and I'll send you a message asking you to reconfirm. It always happens to someone so make sure it's not you.
6. Some people are banned for failing to vote in BJSC 104. I think it's Oslol and Daehun but feel free to correct me.
7. Since I won, I auto-qualify for the Final (which means I'll be sending an alternative song that would otherwise be my third entry with 5 or less points). If an even number of people show up, Séyetana will do the same.
The deadline is 13th May 23:59. Click the graphic below to...erm...participate!

Posted by: Bré 7th May 2018, 04:40 PM
Just in time, I was just making an mp3 link 
(idk if there'll even be an mp3 pack as they seem to have been conspicuously absent from half of this year's contests but I'll always continue providing links anyway xx)
Confirmed my winner song ~
How dare u Lew
Posted by: BridgeCow 7th May 2018, 04:44 PM
Confirmed! SO hyped about this entry, don't let me flop pls xx
Posted by: lewistgreen 7th May 2018, 04:44 PM
Confirmed nice and early!
Posted by: Q. 7th May 2018, 04:53 PM
Confirmed my aforementioned piece of art which encapsulates how the human race experiences music 
(yes I do really like it as just a song on its own as well tho, but the video takes it to another level in a weird way)
Posted by: UltraReputation 7th May 2018, 04:56 PM
Confirmed *.* Y'all not ready x
Posted by: Queef of Peace 7th May 2018, 05:05 PM
Oh MY
Decided this will be my last ever year of BJSC except for spin offs
Posted by: Iz 7th May 2018, 05:07 PM
Getting destroyed by too much choice. I made the mistake of going back through old potentials, so I might be a while picking the one.
Posted by: Liаm 7th May 2018, 05:14 PM
Confirmed, male vocals for the first time in a while 
Posted by: Leonardo 7th May 2018, 05:30 PM
Confirmed my bop x
Posted by: cantthinkofaname 7th May 2018, 06:02 PM
Mosquetania confirmed.
Posted by: Cody💧Slayberry 7th May 2018, 06:08 PM
Decided to go for a drum n bass song a la Sigma 2014! Should be interesting.
Also finally sending something released this year 
Posted by: Jüpiter 7th May 2018, 06:15 PM
First confirmation done...but I might change my mind, I'm torn between a few this month. Retro-inspired midtempo pop ballad so far, if that appeals to anyone!
Posted by: travis 7th May 2018, 09:53 PM
Confirmed! Excited for this contest and to see how we step it up from last time.
Posted by: Dexton 8th May 2018, 06:37 AM
Confirmed! Hopefully I'll qualify this time
Posted by: ¡ʎpp∀ 8th May 2018, 08:14 AM
Omg who stole my entry!!!
Posted by: Queef of Peace 8th May 2018, 09:19 AM
I have had this entry ready for about a year, but was forced into sending it now due to a slight increase in fame. So if it's that, you tried to steal MY entry
Posted by: TomboOnBroadway 8th May 2018, 06:31 PM
Submitted my song 
Posted by: mdh 8th May 2018, 07:12 PM
Confirmed, but either this months or next months entry will be taken for SURE, got a bad feeling.
Posted by: Doctor Blind 8th May 2018, 08:56 PM
I've gone for some Funky French House this month.. because, well why not?!
Posted by: 5 Silas Frøkner 8th May 2018, 10:48 PM
Gone for something that's a little outside of the ordinary for Ashton.
Still in keeping with XDB but as for the Germany bit, it only counts if you're taking the 
view of Germany's borders 
Posted by: Queef of Peace 8th May 2018, 10:53 PM
Still in keeping with XDB but as for the Germany bit, it only counts if you're taking the
view of Germany's borders Rhineland, Czech, Poland, Austria then
Posted by: 5 Silas Frøkner 8th May 2018, 10:57 PM
Rhineland always was part of the motherland and still is
And Rhineland is very much the motherland pour moi.
Posted by: Jüpiter 9th May 2018, 01:14 AM
Reconfirmed now. Feel like my first was a little risky.
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 9th May 2018, 06:23 AM
J'ai un autoveto!
Robinson - Nothing to Regret 25
- Sent in BJSC 103, coming 18th.
Posted by: Q. 9th May 2018, 07:29 AM
Utopia
Well isn't that a blast from the past!
Posted by: Dexton 9th May 2018, 11:25 AM
Robinson - Nothing to Regret 25
- Sent in BJSC 103, coming 18th.
oops
Posted by: Bré 9th May 2018, 02:56 PM
Oh hey at another wild Utopia comeback! I still get one of their last random comebacks (Bleached's 'Sour Candy') stuck in my head fairly often. 
Posted by: Bitch 9th May 2018, 03:37 PM
Bitch is back, I confirmed xxx
Posted by: Cody💧Slayberry 9th May 2018, 03:49 PM
Happy 50th, Tim!
Posted by: Bitch 9th May 2018, 03:59 PM
Oh forgot about that lol
Posted by: Iz 9th May 2018, 04:17 PM
I'm in, I think I've chosen a worthy song. Or at least one to have some FUN with.
Posted by: Queef of Peace 9th May 2018, 04:32 PM
Are you sending a special song Timmother for the occasion
Posted by: Bitch 10th May 2018, 02:58 AM
Nah, I'm classy, I don't do cheap songs xxx
Posted by: Dexton 10th May 2018, 02:22 PM
Reconfirmed x.x
Something I almost sent last month (and probably should have in hindsight)
Posted by: ¡ʎpp∀ 10th May 2018, 02:31 PM
EDIT:
Never mind, I'm in lol. Looked at my list and found a perfect song to coincide with eurovision week 
:
Posted by: ¡ʎpp∀ 10th May 2018, 02:37 PM
Get ready for pop dance with huge chorus!!!
Posted by: Queef of Peace 10th May 2018, 04:15 PM
Classi
Posted by: travis 11th May 2018, 12:59 PM
Reconfirmed because I'm falling heavy for another song that was on my potentials list right now. May change it again before the end date, but I'm very happy with my song for the moment. It's got a great vibe for this time of year when we're just starting to head into the hot months. If I had to relate it to another artist, I'd say it's very Selena Gomez x Jhene Aiko. Hoping it hits with you all the way it has been for me!
Posted by: cantthinkofaname 12th May 2018, 12:55 AM
Reconfirmed because I think my new choice might do better. Will probably use my original choice next time instead tho lol.
Aw f**k it I'm keeping my original choice. I'll submit this one next month instead.
Posted by: Dexton 12th May 2018, 05:55 AM
I think I’d describe my entry as smooth, summer-ready 80s style dance pop 
More confident for this than any previous entries tbh (Flight Facilities production helps) although I could still DNC 
Think Capital Cities without the marching band 
Posted by: Popchartfreak 12th May 2018, 09:11 AM
gone 50-year-old joyous girlie britpop version of a 50's jumpswingblues song with rap featuring heavily. Purists may disagree. It is though
PS and it has Kiki Dee, members of Blue Mink & The Moody Blues on backing vocals (cue everyone under 40 shrugging shoulders...who?)
Posted by: Mack. 12th May 2018, 10:17 AM
Confirmed.
Posted by: Jonjo 12th May 2018, 12:04 PM
Ugh. Double confirmation. Imma boycott you whoever took my song x
Reconfirmed with a song that is very different for us. Hopefully mid-00s Indie fans (and 13 Reasons Why fans x) will enjoy
Posted by: dandy* 12th May 2018, 02:48 PM
I've sent the track I've almost sent 3 times in a row this year but didn't. It doesn't stand any chance of doing well but is a complete and utter grower - don't write it off immediately as a return to Radio 2!
Posted by: FrankLuck 12th May 2018, 10:55 PM
Daah, thought the deadline is tomorrow, dunno why.... this is my latest confirmation by far, but made it in time
Posted by: dandy* 12th May 2018, 10:59 PM
It's because it is tomorrow isn't it?
Posted by: FrankLuck 13th May 2018, 06:43 AM
God, I'm so stupid...

Madonna - 'Isaac' is a tune so I'll have to check that Ofra song out tbh
Posted by: Liаm 13th May 2018, 07:27 PM

Posted by: Cameron 13th May 2018, 07:29 PM

My new entry is low-fi pop at its best <3
Posted by: Botchia 13th May 2018, 07:33 PM
Reconfirmed ;o
Posted by: BridgeCow 13th May 2018, 07:34 PM

It was me.
Damn, was kinda hoping it would just escape the veto. Best find a backup then... 
Edit: Reconfirmed
Posted by: Liаm 13th May 2018, 08:04 PM
Reconfirmed 
Still male vocals for the first time in a while, still a banger, probably less wide appealing but BANGER
Posted by: King Rollo 13th May 2018, 08:26 PM
I like that Ofra Haza song. It would have got points from me.
Posted by: cantthinkofaname 13th May 2018, 08:35 PM
These vetoes are so much stricter than I initially thought. So many songs that I have never heard of being vetoed 😅
Posted by: Botchia 13th May 2018, 09:01 PM

Now give me more points in the competition for having impeccable taste!!
Posted by: David 13th May 2018, 09:20 PM
Late confirmation from Bhangra... been a bit Eurovision preoccupied so hope I’m not vetoed or anything!
Posted by: Doctor Blind 13th May 2018, 09:30 PM
Great choice mdf!
Shame it got vetoed, currently at #1 on my personal chart - I remember St. Lucia “Elevate” being vetoed when it was #1 on my chart back in 2013.
Posted by: Vülker 13th May 2018, 10:00 PM
Confirmed just a bit ago. Still in Lisbon and wanted to confirm Fuego because it was that good, but I went with an Ukrainian choon to keep it as Eurovision as possible!
Posted by: Cody💧Slayberry 13th May 2018, 10:06 PM
How many people have confirmed so far? Kinda expecting a bunch of last minute confirmations thanks to Eurovision
Posted by: ¡ʎpp∀ 13th May 2018, 10:09 PM
Oh I never thought Ofra Haza would get veoted tbh. Actually 2 years ago I've confirmed it and then switch it to Ratty or Stanga iirc
Posted by: ¡ʎpp∀ 13th May 2018, 10:10 PM
I wanna know who sent Blair St. Clair...let's be bff
Posted by: Queef of Peace 13th May 2018, 10:14 PM
I don't think Wild Dances or Dance with the Wolves will get through tbh...
Posted by: NocheLuna 13th May 2018, 11:08 PM
Confirmed. I really should not compete this month, but I really did not want to miss out either tbh. Probably gonna vote late, so sorry in advance!
Posted by: travis 14th May 2018, 04:29 AM
Whoever sent Blair, thank you for following my lead from last contest! (I know I'm not the first to send a drag artist, don't come at me)
I would definitely have given points to that song, issa bop!
Posted by: Dexton 14th May 2018, 04:36 AM
Wow @ Lauv being sent by two people!
Posted by: Cucumberella 14th May 2018, 11:41 AM
Another veto:
Seeb - Drink About (feat. Dagny) 20
- Featured artist previously came 8th 7 in BJSC 96, sent once 3
- Dagny has been vetoed twice in the last 6 months, Seeb was previously vetoed too.
- 19.5 million Spotify plays
- Reached #02 on Norway's Spotify Chart, #26 in Sweden's. Global peak of #151. 10
- Blogs: Scandipop, Clash Music, Pandora, Record Of The Day, nothing major past this
Posted by: Bré 14th May 2018, 11:45 AM
Dagny must be coming for the title of most vetoed artist in BJSC history at this rate. (Seeb as well tbh)
Posted by: Dobbo 14th May 2018, 11:47 AM
Surprised someone didn't try Pnau's Go Bang for the billionth time...
Posted by: Queef of Peace 14th May 2018, 11:56 AM
I sent Seeb once!
Posted by: danG 14th May 2018, 12:18 PM
is the OP not up to date or did we only get 52 confirmos this time around
Posted by: Dexton 14th May 2018, 12:22 PM
This was such a confusing sentence to read at first
Posted by: Doctor Blind 14th May 2018, 01:18 PM
To show Avicii you were cool?
Posted by: Harve 14th May 2018, 01:33 PM
I entered but I'm not on the list.
Posted by: Cody💧Slayberry 14th May 2018, 01:36 PM
Posted by: 5 Silas Frøkner 14th May 2018, 01:49 PM
Everyone can breathe a sigh of relief as there’s 61 entries on the sheet this month
Posted by: Queef of Peace 14th May 2018, 02:03 PM
Unless some of the vetoes don't reconfirm
Posted by: Popchartfreak 14th May 2018, 02:56 PM
Damn, was kinda hoping it would just escape the veto. Best find a backup then... Edit: Reconfirmed
Damn such aclassic and I could have recharted it!
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 14th May 2018, 03:01 PM
Entries list fully updated now!
Posted by: Suedehead2 14th May 2018, 03:19 PM
Im Nin' Alu is indeed a wonderful song. OTOH, the number of us saying that does rather confirm that the veto was the right decision.
Posted by: Cody💧Slayberry 14th May 2018, 04:10 PM
also hasn't Dagny been sent twice before?
Posted by: 5 Silas Frøkner 14th May 2018, 05:01 PM
She has! Backbeat was sent
Posted by: Cucumberella 14th May 2018, 05:29 PM
she has! that was an oversight (sorry) on my behalf because she may as well have only sent the divine wearing nothing xxx
Posted by: Liаm 14th May 2018, 05:56 PM
She will never live up to Wearing Nothing, so effortless 
Posted by: Cucumberella 14th May 2018, 07:34 PM
Eleni Foureira - To Kati Pou Exeis
- Artist has come 2nd in Eurovision after a hype-filled run-up to the Final on Saturday.
- Nothing concerning past this, but this may have an unfair advantage based on artist profile post-Eurovision.
- VETOED THROUGH MOD DISCRETION
Posted by: 5 Silas Frøkner 14th May 2018, 07:38 PM
it's easy to forget she released anything else when there's Wearing Nothing to be listening to
Posted by: Iz 14th May 2018, 07:40 PM
can I just say, people who need to reconfirm, don't want to rush you or anything, but I'm on tenterhooks wanting y'all to be in x
Posted by: TomboOnBroadway 14th May 2018, 09:16 PM
Wow, can't believe there were so many vetoes, I'm glad my song made it through
Posted by: Cody💧Slayberry 15th May 2018, 12:27 AM
come awn 5 day voting period
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 15th May 2018, 06:21 AM
The thread will go up as soon as I get back tonight! (so probably around 3pm BST)
Posted by: Bré 15th May 2018, 12:41 PM
My winner soon to be revealed *.*
Posted by: Jonjo 15th May 2018, 01:27 PM
I'm here to raise hell and leave in last place of whichever semi I'm in x
Posted by: FrankLuck 15th May 2018, 02:15 PM
Oooh, we're in different semis then...
Quite hyped for Bré's winner tbh
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 15th May 2018, 02:21 PM
Okayy it's going to be later than expected because I've only just got half the URLs to appear on screen, there's a country missing from my semi-finals lists that I've not worked out and I've got to leave now oops
Posted by: Bitch 15th May 2018, 02:37 PM
FIRE HA
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 15th May 2018, 03:16 PM
Turns out there wasn't one and I had counted the questions as a country, which I have now found out after searching all the countries on the form. Certainly not fully awake today
Semis thread coming immminently!
Posted by: Cody💧Slayberry 15th May 2018, 03:24 PM
thank GOD here was another country
oops there isn’t another country
