Jayrusalem's 10th entry is 'Run' by COIN, an all-male quartet from Nashville. Don't be expecting a country song though! 'Run' is best described as being an indie-pop/synth-pop song. Jayrusalem entering a song with indie leanings & male vocals? :o While this may seem like an uncharacteristic entry for us, we have actually been reasonably diverse thus far, having entered pop, electropop, dance, trance, deep house, r'n'b and soul into BJSC prior to now. Now we can add indie-pop to that list of genres!

 

We're not sure how our entry will fare, considering that it's far removed from the songs we've had success with, but we hope there will be some love out there for 'Run'. :D

 

Good luck to the other 65 countries competing in the semi finals!

 

Thanks to the countries who showed us their support this month! COIN becomes our 6th song to qualify out of 10 entries. Still haven't got high expectations for this, but just glad to be a part of the final. ^_^

bra just brought this to my attention:

:heart:

COIN came 40th (out of 42 songs) in the final. Obviously not a great result, but nevertheless I'm grateful to have at least qualified. Also I was particularly keen not to come 41st or 42nd, so I guess that's something? :lol:

 

This is probably the first and last time I'll be sending a song of that nature though... I'd say it was a gamble that didn't really pay off. :kink:

 

 

Anyway, thank you very much to the following countries that gave some of their points to COIN in the semi final and/or final, it's greatly appreciated!

 

Aeroche | Altyr Muunilinst | Aquafina | Daehun | Desbuanda | FARC | Florina | Flynnonda | Hendinia | Hushkanukia | Land of DW | N-Lazone | Persephonia | π | Ramrynia | Sangria | Séyetana | Singerpurear | Taahino | Tartford | Terra di Campioni | Ultraviolenceland | Unovia | Vülkyria

 

:heart: More support than I assumed, actually!

 

 

Congratulations to Persephonia who've won for a 2nd time! :D

 

 

Until next time, whenever that may be...

I understand you being racist to our hosted contests and wish you a good vacation again ~

That gif tho :wub:

i don't know how this did so badly...

Lew. :( A few people said they "didn't get it" for whatever reason, which is fair enough. I thought it was leaning more towards pop with its hooks so might have some appeal there, as well as the indie nature to it. Maybe not a BJSC friendly package of a song/video/band/vibe overall. I'm really pleased that you liked it enough to give some points towards it! :heart:

 

 

On a different note, do you think a music video can impact on votes for particular songs, positively or negatively? I really think it should be all about the song when it comes down to it, not about the visuals that happen to accompany it. However I'd be lying if I said that the video didn't have at least some impact on my liking for Bré's entry though. Maybe I wouldn't necessarily have "got it" so instantaneously, otherwise? I'm not sure. Don't get me wrong because I really liked the song all by itself prior to voting for it, but I do wonder if I'd have been more dismissive of it initially without finding the video appealing during my first listen of it.

 

I mention the video thing because I did get a couple of comments from people not liking COIN's music video. Not sure if entirely serious or not, mind you...! There was also a few who thought the boy in the music video for my 3LAU entry was hot, did that gain the song some votes? :unsure:

I often tend to send songs that have a good music video with them (see: all of my last 3 entries) because they stand out to me more when I'm looking for songs to send. So certainly for me, yes music videos can be a positive influence (and I am sure 'Habib Galbi' probably would have done less well without the video). I don't think that's a bad thing though, if a music video happens to make you enjoy a song more that doesn't make your enjoyment of the song invalid. It is a song contest yes, but Eurovision is as well (and that is what BJSC is based on!!1!) and I'm sure there are plenty of examples of songs which connect more with the audience due to their staging/presentation etc. (e.g. 'Hard Rock Hallelujah'). I'd never vote for a song based purely on the video and I am sure no one else would either.

 

let's not bring Orphic Oxtra into this tho

 

I wouldn't have thought a music video would ever be a negative influence but maybe ~ I liked the video for 'Run' anyway :P

iw ahat

those arabic teas

 

still under the habib galbi influence are we

Die

 

I corrected that within ONE MINUTE of posting <_<

i admit i gave 4 points to ramrynia because it had a kewl video. but i only had 11 songs i voted to vote for. either that or i'd have randomly picked out another song i didn't mind and voted for it.

Die

 

I corrected that within ONE MINUTE of posting <_<

I read the entire thing then quoted the post. it was STILL THERE.

 

you are out of shape, mr

:lol: I'm glad you caught a Bré typo, Pavel. They are a rarity! :kink:

Good points raised, and it's certainly true that the Eurovision isn't purely down to the song alone either, so in light of that I suppose it's not actually a negative thing if a video enhances the enjoyment of the song.

 

P.S. Poor COIN.

That gif tho :wub:

 

Who is he Cody?

I was VERY appreciative of those points, Yu!

 

Hey Yu look at this again:
