10th for Sirah in Trifoski

Sandebörg are celebrating their 2nd top 10 finish at the Buzzjack Song Contest tonight after the country's representative Sirah finished 10th. 'Inhale' received 108 points including 4 sets of 12 points. The country has been enjoying great success at the contest this year, after appearing in 6 of the 7 finals. John de Sohn remains the country's best performance at the contest, after 'Dance Our Tears Away' finished 2nd back in April.

AMAZING song, Adam! Glad you managed to finish top 10, and cross the 100 barrier! :wub:

Flawless as always Adam!

Great result tonight (or last night :kink:) Adam! Really should have been a top 10 finish, such a beautiful song. :wub: I look forward to hearing what you send to the next contest! <3

Before we count down our top 40 foreign entries, what is your favourite Sandebörg entry? Or at the other end of the spectrum, any songs you can't stand? Let us know!

Down with The LIPS. Up with Lo-Fi-Fnk. That is all.

Only know a handful of these but This Could Be Paradise, Blue Eyed Girl, and Get It On are all massive faves and there are several more that I really like :D I can't stand The Big Bang though, soz.

Here for Nico & Vinz tbh

40. Haloo Helsinki! - Maailman Toisella Puolen - FSR Rontvia XLV

 

 

Perhaps a random track to start with, we go back to 2012 and this slice of Finnish pop rock. I remember this contest having quite a lot of brilliant foreign language tracks and Haloo Helsinki! was right up there as one of the best.

 

39. Laleh - Colors - Altyr Muunilinst LIX

 

 

Alty Muunilinst know how to send a fantastic scandipop banger and Laleh is no exception. I think this could've been a big hit in the UK had it been pushed here.

 

38. Paulina Rubio - Boys Will Be Boys - Yuxhaaq XLIII

 

 

This Shakira tribute act was my first 12 points in the contest! The latin pop stormer had a revival when Paulina was selected to be a judge in the 3rd series of the American X Factor and she did a high energy mimed perf of the track.

 

37. tyDi ft. Kerli - Something About You - The Actual Republic of Bellamia LVII

 

 

Whilst we're not a fully fledged member of the dancebloc, we are partial to a bit of it and Bellamia sent this bop of a track from tyDi featuring BJSC and Estonian darling Kerli, giving them their highest placing in the contest.

 

36. Maria Mena - f*** You - Unovia LIV

 

 

f*** you. What a simple yet brilliant chorus it makes.

35. ISA - Bomb - #00274E XLVI

 

 

Before she became a Buzzjack fave doing Taylor Swift karaoke in Melodifestivalen 2015, ISA popped up with this explosive pop tune for #00274E three years earlier.

 

34. Indila - Dernière danse - Daehun LXI

 

 

Nothing beats a good powerful French chanson every now and then.

 

33. Awa - Obvious - Altyr Muunilinst LXXVI

 

 

This perfect blend of soul and pop makes for an effortlessly cool song, something I hope Awa gets on with doing more of.

 

32. Carli - Look Up (Original Mix) - #00274E LIII

 

 

The winner, from in my opinion, the best BJSC contest ever. Not least because it was the best result for Sandebörg, but the quality of entries was so unbelievably high, that this was the perfect winner.

 

31. Alina Devecerski - Flytta på dej - Tinnmark XLV

 

 

I can't believe this song is 4 years old already. I have fond memories of this as it around this time that I was really getting into the fantastic realms of scandipop.

'Flytta På Dej' <3 Should have been a smash.

 

Also like Indila, tyDi and Haloo Helsinki! (Y)

Whoops at that countdown :drama: Well here's the top 30 ;o

-----

 

ANYWAY here are my potentials for 88, any opinions welcome!

 

 

 

#1 and beating out all of those Hendinias :D Excellent end to your countdown.

 

Haven't got time to listen to things right now but the combination of Dolly Style and that title looks kind of incredible.

Persephonia featuring in an all-time Sandebörg faves list *.* The true purpose all along of my foray into Scandipop x
