"It's been a LONG road, getting from there to here;
It's been a LONG time, but my TIME is FINALLY HERE"

It's been a long 37 contests in the making, but victory is finally ours. It is with the greatest of pleasure we welcome you all (well, Persephonia not so much) to the historic city of Darpabrak, capital of Altyr Muunilinst.

Over the next few weeks we will take immense pleasure in hosting the 70th edition of the Buzzjack Song Contest. We will not, however, be doing so alone, plans are underway to make this edition one to remember. But we were never going to make this anything other than a GAUDY SPECTACLE of hyperbole and excess.

Dates/times/stuff will be revealed as and when appropriate. That time is not now.

SPECULATE WILDLY as to what all of this may mean for you, the citizens of lesser nations.

Baranski out

Thank god for that, Kylienips need a week to recover

Posted by: jsilv 20th October 2014, 02:59 PM

Got a great lil dance tune which I might send but I might send something a bit more festive, eh, I'll see.

Posted by: Neil. S 20th October 2014, 03:09 PM

Quite excited for this. Have a nice dance song that is a little less generic than 'Wait'

The Persephonian BJSC Committee has announced plans to boycott BJSC LXX in moral objection to the host nation, whose leader is accused of corruption, human rights violations and war crimes including a genocide against the natives of the country's central wilderness. Also speeding.

The country will still participate in the contest but under the guidance of the remains of the Egabbaci BJSC Committee who, still being stuck in 2009, have access to a singer who has been dead for several years and will be representing us this month. Out of safety concerns (regarding air pollution and police brutality in Darpabrak) the Egabbaci entourage will be staying in neighbouring Yehesi.

~

That aside I am going FULL EGABBAC with a classique from 2009 that would fit nicely with my early entries (except will hopefully do a bit better).

After a flop 17th place finish in the semi-final, ending our Q streak, Terra di Campioni is ready and back on form, eager to deliver a dose of what might as well be 80's electro, funk-pop perfection!

Posted by: ►▲N 20th October 2014, 03:20 PM

Excitement!

looking forward to your hosting John I'm sure it'll be great

I have an entry lined up and ready to slay so hopefully confirmations open this weekend

Posted by: HausofAquarius 20th October 2014, 03:25 PM

Have a slightly uninspired but wondrous piece of POP this contest.

D'yermak'er sells out in honour of the host~

Posted by: Iz~ 20th October 2014, 03:33 PM

I am currently dilemma-ing over what would be the best entry to get me back in the final, I have a couple of options and I'm not SET on anything right now. Just a little bit tempted to go with something that'd make me look desperate for a finalist, which is definitely not true.

Other than that, I'm very much looking forward to a holiday in Altyr Muunilinst.

Posted by: DonaldDuck 20th October 2014, 03:41 PM

MY SONG WILL HIT YOU SO HARD OUT OF NOWHERE.

I second what Bal says, In honour of the host I will yet again be going uninspired.

This months winner right here people

(this is not a legally binding statement)

Posted by: Cameron 20th October 2014, 04:07 PM

Not too sure what to do for this one, like genre wise. I have found a slow - folky song that is stunning and has a great message, but it might be to bland for you guys

Posted by: { bré } 20th October 2014, 04:08 PM

Lol just realised you spelled your own country's name wrong TWICE in the opening post John. Poor effort.

Posted by: J▼hnkm 20th October 2014, 04:13 PM

Just keeping you on your toes Bre. Wouldn't want you to get complacent and take a nasty SLIP down a flight of gorgeously designed marble stairs to your DOOM.

Posted by: Iz~ 20th October 2014, 04:18 PM

Hey I was going to mention it too when I first saw the Green Room but I forgot once actually posting

I'll settle for the silver medal.

Posted by: JosephStyles 20th October 2014, 04:43 PM

Got some storming Spanish female dance pop this contest and I am very excited *.*

Posted by: J⭐M E S 20th October 2014, 05:36 PM

I've got a Benny Benassi-esque sounding track up my sleeve

Posted by: Doctor Blind 20th October 2014, 05:40 PM

I'm going to be doing something that nobody has done before, and enter something hosted by Spinnin' Records.

Posted by: Oliver 20th October 2014, 05:49 PM

I need help!

Posted by: Addy K!ng 20th October 2014, 05:52 PM

Hmmmm exciting. I hope it's Satisfaction type of Benassi.

Posted by: *Tim 20th October 2014, 05:52 PM

Hit me up!

(Youre gonna have to return me the favour tho)

Posted by: Addy K!ng 20th October 2014, 05:53 PM

I'm thinking sending albanian dance and/or r'n'b type of song.

Anyone willing to help?

Posted by: Conderella 20th October 2014, 06:09 PM

first step is admitting you have a problem. good 4 u oli <3

Posted by: J⭐M E S 20th October 2014, 06:10 PM

It is <3 yesssss! Well either that or another stab at an in your arms type track.

Posted by: popchartfreak 20th October 2014, 06:19 PM

I will not be entering dancepop or EDM this time. yes I'm aiming for nul points again...

Posted by: ►▲N 20th October 2014, 06:24 PM

I never expected you to send a Spinnin' Records song I hope it's something deep and partly inspired.

I'm going cheap again and looking at Beatport for my next entry

Posted by: مدهش* 20th October 2014, 07:31 PM

Anyone want to help me choose something?

Although, be warned, I'm floundering which means there's about 15 options or so!

Posted by: { bré } 20th October 2014, 07:32 PM

Send me yo songs, I will listen at an undetermined time ~

Posted by: imaduck 20th October 2014, 07:32 PM

I'm going for a surefire DNQ next time around.

But I'm so obsessed with the song.

Posted by: LexC: TheRe-Up 20th October 2014, 07:37 PM

As far as I'mm concerned, this year I've already had three 'hits' so I might as well go into the last BJSC of the year with a 'nothing to lose' mentality.

Posted by: J▼hnkm 20th October 2014, 07:39 PM

I will give you a hand if you like. I finally have a worthwhile opinion after all.

Posted by: J▲hq 20th October 2014, 07:42 PM

Contemplating recycling one of my former artists, but it would be a bit of a last resort with this new song being not quite as good as the old one imo.

Posted by: ✖ ketalina ✖ 20th October 2014, 07:57 PM

anyone send anything to me that u need to x

Posted by: Kath ♡ 20th October 2014, 08:06 PM

I don't believe in PM help

Posted by: Conderella 20th October 2014, 08:08 PM

don't trust her

she's got YTD to think of

Posted by: Kl▲mzee 20th October 2014, 08:14 PM

Some countries need to realise you can send something that isn't dance.

Posted by: { bré } 20th October 2014, 08:17 PM

I am sending 'synthpop/indietronica' (i.e. pretty much standard Persephonia fare).

Posted by: Doctor Blind 20th October 2014, 08:22 PM

Oh I KNOW what you're sending now Bré. I have it on CD single bought from Cambridge HMV (before it got moved away from the High Street)!

Posted by: *Tim 20th October 2014, 08:33 PM

I don't think so

Posted by: Chez Wombat 20th October 2014, 08:45 PM

I have a wonderful piece of retro, forgotten dance pop from 2003 (though I only knew of it's existence this year and chances are most of you will too) going retro instead of going silly to close the year this time. Not necessarily aiming for a hit, but it would be quite nice to get another solid mid-table hit (yep, that's how low my expectations are this month)

BE WARNED, That was exactly what Miami Horror were described as and I thought that would be popular

Posted by: DonaldDuck 20th October 2014, 08:46 PM

I'll help anyone

Posted by: Cameron 20th October 2014, 08:57 PM

So I have managed to narrow it down to 5 with 2 songs that I feel could at least get me to qualify I will listen to them on and off and hopefully have a decision by the time the confirmation thread is up

Posted by: M¤th 21st October 2014, 12:33 PM

I have a song set in stone... which also means I don't have a backup. I will need to confirm the second confirmations begin and pray it isn't vetoed

Posted by: J⭐M E S 21st October 2014, 12:35 PM

I have three potentials. anyone fancy giving them a listen?

Posted by: jsilv 21st October 2014, 12:37 PM

Yes James, send me them and I'll listen to them tonight! Although I did advise you to not send In Your Arms so...

Posted by: Neil. S 21st October 2014, 12:41 PM

I'll listen James!

Posted by: J⭐M E S 21st October 2014, 12:54 PM

oh wait it's six potentials lol x

Posted by: *Tim 21st October 2014, 12:57 PM

Oh okay, I see you

Posted by: Cameron 21st October 2014, 02:09 PM

I'll listen to anyone who needs help, if they will return the favour XD

Posted by: ►▲N 21st October 2014, 02:21 PM

as a member of the dance bloc you can always send me your potentials James

Posted by: Leonardo 21st October 2014, 05:40 PM

Anyone will to lend me an ear this month?

Posted by: popchartfreak 21st October 2014, 07:20 PM

It was popular with me! Best buzzjack track of the year - sorry to everyone else who didn't vote for it but yer all mad!

Posted by: Neil. S 21st October 2014, 07:27 PM

My potential has been described as sounding like 'Prayer in C' by a certain fellow buzzjack member That can't be a bad thing I hope

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 21st October 2014, 07:33 PM

Got a song which I want to send but might get vetoed, and a backup which I love but might not stand out much and just blend in...

Posted by: Cameron 21st October 2014, 07:56 PM

With help from Neil, I picked my entry! I think it is the best one so far

Posted by: ✖ ketalina ✖ 21st October 2014, 08:19 PM

okay i think *I GOT THIS*

anyone for amazing generic house???

Posted by: Oliver 21st October 2014, 08:21 PM

I gave you max cowbell last month, this time get ready for hand claps!

Posted by: Neil. S 21st October 2014, 08:23 PM

Yas Cam!!

Posted by: LexC: TheRe-Up 21st October 2014, 08:26 PM

I've decided to go decidedly in a different direction to my last few entries. It FEELS like the sort of thing that would at least do half decent in this anyway, so here's hoping!

Posted by: M¤th 21st October 2014, 08:26 PM

Mine is a generic indie-pop song that makes me REALLY HAPPY when I listen to it and when I think about sending it. Major improvement over last month's.

Posted by: M¤th 21st October 2014, 08:39 PM

If anybody still needs help send me a PM, I need help with two UP entries and I'll be very happy to listen to whatever you guys have ~

Posted by: randomfurlong 21st October 2014, 08:56 PM

I have nothing except things other people are probably sending

Posted by: *Tim 21st October 2014, 08:58 PM

Meh I might as well go for a joke act, since there's no way I'm qualifying with my potentials...

Boss Ass Bitch here we come!

Posted by: Cameron 21st October 2014, 09:07 PM

Tim you should enter



I would give you my 12 points.

Posted by: *Tim 21st October 2014, 09:07 PM

I'd rather retire from te contest all together.

Posted by: Oricon 21st October 2014, 09:12 PM

I'd also exclusively reveal that if Miranda Sings gets entered, it too would gain my 12 points easily.

Posted by: *Tim 21st October 2014, 09:14 PM

That'd better my semi final score already... Let me reconsider

Posted by: ►▲N 21st October 2014, 09:15 PM

that Miranda song is awful.

any song with 'bae' in the title should get an automatic veto anyway

Posted by: Neil. S 21st October 2014, 09:17 PM

I thought she creeped the hell outta you Tim Or did you love her secretly

Posted by: *Tim 21st October 2014, 09:18 PM

Desperate times call for desperate measures

(She still does creep me out)

Got my entry for this month
It is dance/pop mixed with another genre I have not sent
Any guesses to what that other genre is?

Posted by: ►▲N 22nd October 2014, 06:35 PM

I really don't get this wish to confine yourself into a foreign language box for an entire year.

Posted by: Oricon 24th October 2014, 11:39 AM

You should because it's common.

Posted by: Conderella 24th October 2014, 11:46 AM

It's just so damn restrictive. I like to have my freedom when choosing entries. If it happens to be a female singing in Korean then so be it

Posted by: M¤th 24th October 2014, 01:30 PM

I will be out from 2:45-6:45 London time, so I'm praying that it doesn't open around then because it would be such a hassle to try to confirm on an old phone

Posted by: Conderella 24th October 2014, 01:35 PM

I have it on good authority that confirmations won't open until midnight, so please don't bother showing up until like 11pm earliest. Daehun especially. You can TOTES trust meh

Posted by: Oricon 24th October 2014, 05:16 PM

Even BETTER. You need your beauty sleep Pavel.

Posted by: J▼hnkm 24th October 2014, 05:18 PM

I can confirm that confirmations will be opening in no less than ONE HOUR.

Posted by: LexC: TheRe-Up 24th October 2014, 06:11 PM

It says 'no less', not 'no more'.

Posted by: Silas 24th October 2014, 06:32 PM

Hardly a small box to be confined into.

Posted by: LexC: TheRe-Up 24th October 2014, 06:49 PM

Silas's year of foreign language entries has been really memorable in producing the least memorable of this year's entries.
