January 30, 201312 yr people only really do it when there is a high risk of their track being taken, otherwise it's usually when people who don't have a lot of time left after having their entry vetoed want to play it safe!!
January 30, 201312 yr When confirming your entry to any of the numbered BJSC contests the moderators would like to give y'all a little advice: If you feel the need to include a back up option (and then a back up for the back up) just go ahead and confirm that back up option instead. Sending a back up shows us that you actually recognise that the entry is veto worthy and you are just hedging your bets. Please don't waste our time or offend us by submitting something we all know is clearly not w I disagree, I had a back-up entry because I don't know what to expect from the veto process (It seems to change now and then). I felt that my original entry wouldn't be worth a veto (I've literally seen little hype) but as I said I don't know what to expect from the veto process, I do enjoy BJSC, my original choice was a bit more out there. I've seen some entries that were way more borderline than my entry.
January 30, 201312 yr it's gotten SO GOOD recently with music, i guess it's coz the lines of pop / R&B / alternative are really blurring and some of the creations coming out are just bonkers amazing Mmm definitely. Music in general has been really good since about September and something amazing is happening somewhere everyday!!! Exciting times, can't wait for what tomorrow brings etc. My newly changed entry blows everyone else's out of the water tbfh. But Burial. </3 [quite a long post] This BJSC stuff is COMPLICATED and this is coming from mr. analysis! I disagree, I had a back-up entry because I don't know what to expect from the veto process (It seems to change now and then).

I've seen some entries that were way more borderline than my entry. You wait for Lee to write a sentence with good grammar and BOOM, three come along at once! (the second one could be split up into many though)
January 30, 201312 yr Making the veto decision can be even more complex than trying to describe it :drama:
January 30, 201312 yr DIDN'T EVEN KNOW YOU COULD SEND BACK-UP ENTRIES WHEN CONFIRMING! :o I know when I hosted BJSC 34, AaronTM confirmed two tracks. His first choice being a Jennifer Lopez track from her newly released album, and 'Break The Ice' - the Keri Hilson demo. J Lo got veto'd but 'BTI' didn't (and surely 'BTI' was even more veto worthy at the time :kink: ).

J Lo got veto'd but 'BTI' didn't (and surely 'BTI' was even more veto worthy at the time :kink: ). Genuinely didn't know it was an allowed thing. So, just purely out of my interest to this thing - what's the stance of this back-up thing? Like, say I had Frida Sundemo - Snow as a back-up (just an example) and then somebody else confirmed it but as their first choice... who gets it?
January 30, 201312 yr DIDN'T EVEN KNOW YOU COULD SEND BACK-UP ENTRIES WHEN CONFIRMING! :o I know, right? Confused is not the word (I'll just keep doing as I do).
January 30, 201312 yr Back up entries are not an allowed thing. We weren't aware it was such a prevalent thing and were under the assumption it had been done previously where a poster may not have time to reconfirm after their original entry was vetoed. In Robot's hypothetical statement if you had Snow as your back up and someone else confirmed it, they would get it as you already had an entry. It's part of the reason I worked very hard to ditch that god awful reservation thread. People could hold onto tracks/artists they had no intention of sending to spite others which just wasn't cricket.

Ah, fair enough, I hoped it would be that way because obviously that's the fairest - I mainly wanted to know because had it been the other way around, it may have affected me somewhere in some contest - thanks for explaining, you learn something new every day. :o
January 31, 201312 yr Author FINITO. Confirmations are over, and we have 51 entries. Whivh means I'm AQing :D Keep an eye out for the voting thread, hopefully coming tonight :cheer:

January 31, 201312 yr Author shizzz i've not sent my mp3 and i'm in college till 4 - can i send when i get home??? Sure, nothing will be up before about 9pm anyway. OH SHIT I'm actually sending THAT SONG then. *.* mp3 for my song doesn't seem to exist. Please don't make it a 28-56kbps rip off youtube :( You have two options: a) Have an 128kbps rip off YouTube b) Paypal me 99p and I'll buy it on iTunes (actually make it £1.50 for the lifetime of RuPaul genius recommendations).
January 31, 201312 yr omg tbvvvvvvvh i'm now regretting sending it a bit :lol: But w/e X1st contests are the only time i can purposefully f*** everything up now. :D
January 31, 201312 yr Oh I have to send a MP3 of my entry as well, which might be a problem when one is in China. I'll try my best to give you one Tom!
January 31, 201312 yr Author It's alright, I should be able to find it, it's harly super obscure :kink:
January 31, 201312 yr Daehun cheap? Never! It's not as if it's smashed the charts! It's not like it's had any hype/ charted in the multichart. I'm going to have great fun with this list tonight. FOREVER BITTER. Edited January 31, 201312 yr by WALL-E
January 31, 201312 yr Lies. Most of my entries are unknown artists minus Girls Generation. COULD YOU SAY THE SAME. I'm doubting myself Yu. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME!!!
January 31, 201312 yr Yes, Alexandra Stan is super unknown with no hype or recognition when you entered it. I'd say this would be my 2nd cheap entry after Rebecca Stella (which only became cheap after people fought for it) but I love this entry regardless so. :D Edited January 31, 201312 yr by Oricon
