September 19, 201014 yr As a side note, I was in H&M earlier and they played two recent BJSC entries - "Clap Your Hands" & "What You Waiting For" :o Just wanted to express my surprise, as they aren't exactly known in the UK to other people.
September 19, 201014 yr Will this contest be BJSC 29 by the way, or BJUSC 1 or something? And will the stats thread be updated before it restarts? I suppose it's still relevant if we're still using countries. BJUSC 29 - it's a simple rebrand. Funnily enough, Tom and Phil both said it was such a relief that we would be having a break as they would have the chance to update stats and songs of threads, and we've seen nothing so far :smoke:
September 19, 201014 yr Author Sounds very interesting, and I'm definitely tempted to come back. Just wondering though, if the hosts know which country is which, and the mods have the power to ban songs that they don't see fit (which, no matter what way you look at it, is going to be subjective or else we'd just be able to stick to the afformentioned rules), would it be completely fair for them to participate? I will know who is who as everything is being sent to me. The way the banning will work is if we see something in the confirmed list that we think is uninspired and against the spirit of the contest. We will then discuss and take action on a majority verdict. LOL I'll have a trawl through my collection and see if I can come up with something not too indie. I can always give it a go this time and see how it goes. Will the new country registration thread be re-opened or are there already enough entrants for the next contest? It's re-opened so feel free to register! ^_^ I wasn't too sure about the unknown (not knowing who sent what) element at first, but I'm happy enough as long as countries aren't thrown out completely, so I shall be participating :)I am hosting so countries will fo' sho' be back! :lol:
September 19, 201014 yr Will be interesting to see how quickly everyone confirms. With no reservation thread, the really obvious non-cheap but 'internet popular' songs are going to be snapped up straight away! And you run the risk of losing your entry if you wait for too long!
September 19, 201014 yr What do I actually need to do to particpate in this coz it sounds more interesting now. You are brave to enter BJSC, expect some block voting -_-
September 19, 201014 yr You are brave to enter BJSC, expect some block voting -_- How can this happen when we won't know who's sent what?

September 19, 201014 yr Author How can this happen when we won't know who's sent what? But i will, so i'll still be accused of voting for you just because it's you
September 19, 201014 yr Flavour of the month won't be getting past me :funky: Good to hear. Looking at the UP in the indie forum entries list, I literally had only ever heard of 1 song of the whole lot I think, and I'd like to see a similar thing in BJUSC. Watch out for the new Le Kid song, it has winner written all over it and is being hyped up all over the place - I can see ten people rushing to try and get that! Have we got any dates yet by the way?

Thanks for the heads up! ^_^ I'm hoping to discover pretty much everything. :lol: Dates are en-route, things should kick off at the end of the month with the final beginning sometime around the 20th of October ^_^
September 19, 201014 yr You are brave to enter BJSC, expect some block voting -_- I dunno about that. I was always quite intrigued by this. I'll probably come last because I'll choose something too indie but if I don't try... I think the not knowing who's song is who's has made me wanna try. Maybe it will be too pop for me!

Send some Morning Musume or Puffy :wub: Seriously, i'm tempted to send J-pop but I think it would probably be a bit obvious, so if more than one person did it...
September 19, 201014 yr I must admit I was thinking of it... but if you're gona send a J-Pop track then maybe I should send something else. Well I've got some time to decide yet.
September 19, 201014 yr I've really wanted to send Perfume for awhile... but the trouble is that if we give any indication of what we're sending it kind of spoils the point of the unknown/hidden countries thing...
September 20, 201014 yr BJUSC looks so ugly. :( Why can't it still be called BJSC...just have the unknown element thrown in? :P I'm contemplating a return...i've just gotta see if I can find the time to participate...
September 20, 201014 yr Author can we confirm already? No, it's a whole month until the final. All the dates etc will be confirmed at the end of this month
September 20, 201014 yr Send some Morning Musume or Puffy :wub: Seriously, i'm tempted to send J-pop but I think it would probably be a bit obvious, so if more than one person did it... I might be with you on that :kink: Or not? :teresa: I've really wanted to send Perfume for awhile... but the trouble is that if we give any indication of what we're sending it kind of spoils the point of the unknown/hidden countries thing... So I've noticed :heehee: But still, you can't rule out the possibility of someone/anyone at all actually wanting to send j-pop now. Or anything else for that matter. It's more about the songs now, and no obvious labels attached to who sends what. I don't think it ruins everything. Sure, we might make assumptions, but most of us are already aware of each other tastes and there will always be songs that we assumably think that one person or another is sending in that actual contest. I'd say we shouldn't let that hinder us from sending what we really want to send, and as a result perhaps giving other people a discovery out of it. That's worth the few assumptions imo :) Edited September 20, 201014 yr by Freeze
