Posted October 5, 201311 yr http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z369/RC741/BJSC%2059/SemiFinalsLogo_zpsb0ac6a2c.png Welcome to the semi final stage of BJSC LIX here in Cherry Tree City, Ramrynia!

Therefore each semi final will contain 26 countries. 15 countries will qualify from each semi final, meaning that there will be 32 countries in the final.

Once you have submitted your votes, they can not be changed. You must submit your votes by Saturday 12th October at 23:59 (UK time). Any votes submitted after this deadline will not be counted and if you do not vote in time, you will have 33% deducted from your semi final score. This could cost you a place in the final. Of course, if you are not in the contest, please do not vote. Once you have voted, your country name will turn from red to green on the semi final line-ups above.

October 5, 201311 yr One of my ALL TIME FAVES is in semi 1 :wub: (no not Drunk Text *.*) I will be more pissed off than I EVER have been at a non-Unovia entry if Dolly doesn't Q.
October 5, 201311 yr 1. I don't think I've given Espen more than 2pts since KATZENJAMMER in 2010 - fantastic entry from them, considered changing my entry to this on Thursday. 2. Was originally going to send Porcelain Black - Rich Boi to this contest, but didn't want to send a repeat artist of my own twice in a row, will be interesting to see how Ginsay Lohands does with her, albeit with a different song. Have no idea how my song will fare, but some people I think will like it, are in there, so that's good!
October 5, 201311 yr Dolly Parton, OMD & Paris Hilton (:() in a BJSC contest together in 2013! Whodathunkit? I think that semi is quite good for my entry, I hope you all take to it. I sense this will be quite a marmite one, but rest assured the lyrics MORE than make up for it Edited October 5, 201311 yr by Chez Wombat
October 5, 201311 yr I'm going to need to throw some pre-emptive hype for CADELICIA this contest. I came very close to sending 'Drop The Other' by Emika a few contests ago (am aware that's an ancient song but SO GOOD). I very much like some other songs I know of hers as well so nice to see her entered here. Also means I can cross her name off my perpetual potential list which is always good. Pavel is just THROWING AWAY his claim to being more original than Persephonia by recycling Active Child, oooops. And I actually like 'Jolene' :ph34r: Persephonia and Hendinia in the same semi again :wub: 2nd time since the start of last year I think?
October 5, 201311 yr I see someobody entered my favourite Polly Scattergood track, was tempted to enter the track last year. I think I fit nicely in Semi 1, could have had FSR Rontvia and Persephonia on my team.
October 5, 201311 yr I think that is the best possible semi for my song! From first glance anyway, it's something quite different to the BJSC norm so I'm going in little bit blind here. Just quite glad I went with this and not Within Temptation now, at least if I DNQ I can feel inspired. With regards to the other entries, I don't know many but the names I do know are quite promising. Could be a good one.
October 5, 201311 yr I think I'm in a pretty CRAP semi (although on the bright side all but one of the people I sent my song to are in the opposite semi so I've kinda achieved my goal of sending something fresh to everyone (except Chris (and anyone else who may have heard my song already))). Hoping my song can appeal widely enough to get through anyway. I implore everyone to give it a few listens and let it grow as I proceed to vote based on one listen to everything else as I always do. EDIT: For the record I mean crap for me, not the other songs are crap ~
October 5, 201311 yr I'm in uncharted territory with Polly Scattergood, doesn't really fit in with what I've sent in the past but maybe that's why I'm always flopping.
October 5, 201311 yr Looking for some justice for Jacob Banks after the Doing OK flop. Looks like there's some tough competition though even if I believe my entry is WORTHY enough to qualify. :kink:
