May 27, 201114 yr Author The list of countries who have voted has been updated - almost all nations in SF1 have voted. SF2 must be proving more difficult as a whole 12 nations have yet to submit their votes. You have 20 hours 6 minutes left, at the time of posting this, to vote. :D
May 27, 201114 yr Author I've also come to the conclusion that, with a bit of tweaking in terms of track order, all 40 tracks from BJSC XXXIV would make a brilliant compilation album.
May 27, 201114 yr I've also come to the conclusion that, with a bit of tweaking in terms of track order, all 40 tracks from BJSC XXXIV would make a brilliant compilation album. I've already passed it on to a friend who isn't on Buzzjack (as of yet, at least) with this express purpose!
May 27, 201114 yr SF2 must be proving more difficult as a whole 12 nations have yet to submit their votes. You have 20 hours, 6 minutes left, at the time of posting this, to vote. :D Oh believe me it is (and this is going to suck bad in terms of diplomatic relations :drama:) I will send my votes through either later tonight or in the morning.

May 27, 201114 yr Do I smell an Ashton snub coming on? :o :drama: I couldn't say, but it looks like it might not make any difference if I did :lol:
May 27, 201114 yr I wish I was there! I was discussing the track with Silas on Facebook earlier - the song and video make me desperately want to go clubbing in Sweden right this second. I NEED to hear it loud on a night out and that's quite clearly not going to happen here :( Yeah you should! fun night ^_^
May 27, 201114 yr Did you go bowling for your birthday? I miss those days :( Anyway, bet you Eric releases an english version of it within 3 months, and it goes top 10 here :)
May 28, 201114 yr I'm currently doing my final run through and ordering. There is going to be a shock or two in Ashton's votes....
May 28, 201114 yr Did you go bowling for your birthday? I miss those days :( Anyway, bet you Eric releases an english version of it within 3 months, and it goes top 10 here :) That would be great. As long as it doesn't get within sniffing distance of LMFAO or Pitbull on the way through translation I'll be happy :lol:
May 28, 201114 yr They probably will make it all "party party party", just like the Vato Gonzalez version of Alors On Danse... "one more drink and I will spew :puke2:" Oh yeah, voted btw :)
May 28, 201114 yr Author To be honest, I'm now used to listening to the Eric Amarillo track in Swedish, so even if it was re-recorded in English it just wouldn't be the same. Like Tom has mentioned with 'Alors On Danse', it sounds right to me in French because that's the version I've listened to the most. Any English translated version would never have the same impact.
May 28, 201114 yr The Erik Hassle version of AOD sounds kind of OK, I guess that's why they released it, but then again they also released the Kanye West version which is almost as horrible as Vato. The French original is best :wub: I do hope Mr Amarillo makes it through to the final, it's so feelgood and upbeat, I love it, and not just because it's Rontvia :)

I'm inclined to agree, but then I also think that Basshunter's Boten Anna worked fine as Now You're Gone, and we all got used to it quite quickly (those of us that knew the Swedish original!). Songs nearly always sound better in the language that they were first intended imo. I can think of precious few exceptions.

The remixes all sounded incredibly 'try-hard' somehow :lol: They just didn't need to exist. I hope so too, but then I would :lol: I know dance doesn't do that well in BJSC - well apart from the big crossover hits like Mr Saxobeat, Alors On Danse and Stereo Love, but I think that there's something special in this song which hopefully others will see - at least enough for it to progress to the final anyway.

May 28, 201114 yr New Caprica has votes, my semi final was STRONG, and there was two songs that narrowly missed out on points. It will be interesting to see if a non-KPop, more BJSC friendly entry will do better or worse than my normal offerings.
