September 20, 20186 yr Jerd Did ye leek me representation Jerd?? I tried to bubble chart overlap our two countries' tastes!!
September 25, 20186 yr aw, when I was putting everything in order I was really hoping you'd take it tbh as it sounded like a winner to me right away (not to take away from Cody as his sounded like a win contender too). Thanks for the discovery, I listened to it straight away when the Google responses were coming in and it hit me right away. stunning and very emosh <3
September 25, 20186 yr Author BJSC 108 Results Somnium - Sinking Last night the results for the BJSC 108 final were revealed in Summerica and WOW, what a ride they were for us. We began the night in the top 3 before sinking (:basil:) down to low top 20 and then ending the night in... 2nd place with 264 points!! It feels absolutely unreal to type that. We're so happy that so many people took to our beautiful orchestral entry 'Sinking' by Somnium <3 we were just 6 points shy of winning the BJSC for the first time but it just wasn't meant to be on this occasion. Instead, it was fellow BJSC 74 debutants Cor Lupus that scooped the crown with 'Cruel Summer' by Daniella Mason. But... we scooped the crown in two other places ;o as we won under the 12 point system results (finally getting some justice there!) and we somehow went and smashed the semi in first place with 123 points, despite thinking it was an unfavourable semi :drama: this is our third semi final win following 'Scope' by MssingNo (88) and 'Birdsong' by Claptone featuring Zola Blood (106). 'Scope' finished 3rd in the final and 'Birdsong' 5th so still not turning any semi winners into final winners! 'Sinking' of course matches our personal best that we previously set with 'Earth Not Above' by HÆLOS in BJSC 90, which also came very close to winning, just 8 points away from doing so. This is the fourth time we've finished in a medal position ('Waqqaberry' is the only song that we have not mentioned out of those medallists; that finished 3rd) and is our 13th top 10 hit to date! This year continues to be immensely successful for Jadakissnia as all 7 of our qualifiers in 2018 have been top 20 hits, with more than half of those hitting the top 10. We're still in so much shock to be honest as I don't think anyone saw this result coming. 'Sinking' attracted 3 sets of 18 (our second highest haul this year after goreshit's 'the nature of dying' scooped up 5 in 102) from the wonderful Espen, Persephonia and Séyetana. We also got three silvers and three bronzes! Aelandor, Lotunia and Terra Avium were behind the 15s and Quintessa, Rolloland and Summericia gave us the 13s. What a month, especially as a lot of inspired top 10s hits were to be found... from the likes of Land of DW to Desbuanda, long live 108 <3 Here's how the Jadakissnian people voted this time: final 18 Aeroche // Motez - The Future (feat. Antony & Cleopatra) [KC Lights Remix] 15 Tartford // Mylo - Need You Tonite 13 Cowtermont // W&W & Darren Styles - Long Way Down 12 Desbuanda // SAVEUS -Time Can Heal a Man 11 Quintessa // Mónica Naranjo - Europa 10 Terra Avium // We Are All Astronauts - Ether 09 Thelonia // Raito - One Step Beyond 08 Kluminican Republic // Cosmo Sheldrake - Wriggle 07 Persephonia // Skee Mask - Via Sub Mids 06 Jupiterdonia //VAVA - 我的新衣 (My New Swag) (feat.

September also brought us the Masquerade II spinoff where we posed as Aelandor! This was the perfect opportunity to send former Jadakissnia potential artist C2C (as Aelandor entered them with 'Down The Road') and the song we decided on was 'Delta'. Gotta love those infectious vibes and the animated video. Turns out that we ended up with two near-miss positions this month as we finished in 11th place with 143 points - a measly ONE point away from the top 10! Ah well, it's still a unique position so silver linings. It was better than we were expecting anyway! Also a WHOLE lot better than the lowly 29th place that we finished in during the previous spinoff, Reinvention II. Flynnonda (posing as Séyetana) were the winners of Masquerade II f with the incredible 'Gimme Chocolate!!' by BABYMETAL so it's safe to say that the BJSC 74 debutants are killing it at the moment *.* well, except the Flynnonda racism that took place in 108. Rude. We received a fair few medal positions for this one. Firstly an 18 from... Aelandor! Yay! We were pleased to receive full marks from the country that were behind. We also got a silver medal from Beaverdonia and FOUR bronzes courtesy of Niceland, Fljótavík, Persephonia and Trifoski. PZbkF-15ObM It was also revealed that Beaverdonia were fake Jadakissnia this time! They went down the pophoe (not much of that to choose from in our repertoire oops) and Spanishy route as they sent the absolute icons Sonia and Selena and selected 'Deja que mueva, mueva, mueva' as the song. This didn't quite do as well as South Danaelanda's Jadakissnia impression in the first edition (they won with 'Running In The Night' by FM-84 featuring Ollie Wride) and instead settled on 26th place with 97 points. We enjoyed their impersonation a fair bit though as we did award them 5 points. G'won Beav!! k_59AfG9R5k thanks to the following for awarding us points for 'Delta': Séyetana (11), Florina (08), Holland-Oats (02), Terra Avium (04), Persephonia (13), Cowtermont (06), Kluminican Republic (04), Niceland (13), Land of DW (03), Fljótavík (13), Aelandor (18), Dobago (07), Republique d’Ashton (02), Trifoski (13), Aeroche (11) & Beaverdonia (15) :heart: Masquerade II votes: 18 Persephonia | DANCE WITH THE DEAD – Dressed to Kill 15 Terra Avium | Varien x Swarm – Never Ending 13 Niceland | The Knife – Marble House 12 Fljotavik | Rainmode – The Taunting 11 FSR Rontvia | RAM – RAMsterdam (Jorn van Deynhoven Remix) 10 FARC | Stockholm Noir – Parvaz Kon 09 Trifoski | Anna Meredith & The Scottish Ensemble (feat.

October 13, 20186 yr Author BJSC 109 Ben Frost - Venter 9LJ2X1ZRVmA We can happily announce that we have secured an auto-qualifier for the very first time after missing out during our previous opportunity! We lost out after placing 2nd in BJSC 90 with HÆLOS' 'Earth Not Above', but Ben Frost is representing us with 'Venter' after the 2nd place with Somnium's 'Sinking' in the previous contest. One of these days we'll get a win I tell thee. This isn't the first time that Ben has been entered as he was previously represented by Elëdan before our time with the also brilliant 'Sola Fide' in BJSC 65. That DNQed so we're here to serve some justice with a guaranteed final placing! So, who is Ben Frost? Well he's an Australian artist who currently lives in Iceland. He also makes fantastic experimental and industrial music. 'Venter' is a glorious instrumental with a duration of 6 minutes and 45 seconds so another #longsongbloc offering from us. It's pretty intense and has an amazing build-up until those final couple of minutes *.* these YouTube comments sum up it up well: "This is the sound dying stars make" "Reminds me of Feral by Radiohead. The same feeling of being chased in the woods at night." For me I personally compare it to riding a rollercoaster. The first half feels like you're going up one, then there's a pause, then it feels like you swiftly drop down it. Hope this can find some big fans as I absolutely love it, probably the riskiest entry I've sent this year so I'm not expecting big things in the final but who knows. This is our 36th entry btw! Also, I'm pretty sure this is allowed to be public knowledge so... BJSC Your Best Of II ONUKA - Time _4Cswp7smQ0 We're bringing back this beauty from BJSC 75 following their Eurovision interval appearance last year :wub: it was only our 2nd entry and originally came 9th in the Persephonia hosted contest. We're bringing it back as it's our favourite entry and we also want newer participants to discover it. aw, when I was putting everything in order I was really hoping you'd take it tbh as it sounded like a winner to me right away (not to take away from Cody as his sounded like a win contender too). Thanks for the discovery, I listened to it straight away when the Google responses were coming in and it hit me right away. stunning and very emosh <3 Only just seen this somehow?! But I'm so glad that you enjoyed 'Sinking' so much :wub: it would've been amazing to win with it but ah well, one day.
October 14, 20186 yr So glad this did get the AQ because I don't think I could stand to see Ben Frost DNQing again! Another brilliantly intense track from him, get that justice for 'Sola Fide' ~ (late but if only Somnium had been able to get those few extra points to win as it'd have been such a momentous winner, definitely one of your best ever entries :wub: ah well, the quest for a Jadakissnia winner continues x)
October 27, 20186 yr Author BJSC 109 Results Ben Frost - Venter Last night in Cor Lupus we were represented by the experimental Australian musician Ben Frost, with the very intense instrumental 'Venter'. He breezed through to the final as we received an elusive auto-qualifier slot for the first time, following our 2nd place finish with Somnium's 'Sinking' the previous contest. We can happily say that he definitely has justice after the equally wonderful 'Sola Fide' DNQed back in the day... because he finished in 17th place with 167 points! We are over the moon with this placing for such a risky sound. Also... we had quite the journey to get there! We were floundering in the bottom 10 for most of the night and were even as low as 37th at the half-way point. God bless you second half voters. This means that have continued to place in the top 20 with EVERY qualifier in 2018! This follows 10th for K Á R Y Y N's 'BINARY' (101), 6th for goreshit's 'the nature of dying (102), 17th for Adam F's 'Circles' (104), 16th for Shpongle's 'Around The World In A Tea Daze (Ott Remix)' (105), 5th for Claptone's 'Birdsong' featuring Zola Blood (106), 12th for Vendredi sur Mer's 'Larme à Gauche' (107) and of course 2nd for Somnium's 'Sinking'. 2018 is being so kind to us! Ben Frost placing 17th also means that this is the first position that we've ever finished in three times - following King Plague's 'Ave Plague' (96) and the aforementioned 'Circles' earlier this year. 'Venter' attracted quite a few medal positions, with a full 18 from Altyr Muunilinst (!) and Skall, plus 15 from our allies Persephonia and then 13 points from the also ever reliable Terra Avium and Rolloland. We're so pleased with that! We look forward to flying to Aeroche next month for some no doubt excellent hosting flair as ever, plus we are going BOLLYWOOD. Yep you heard that right. Time to end the year with a bang! Well, perhaps not in terms of success, but we're here to radically switch up our sound again and bring the fun. Thanks to the following countries for the points: East Rukahavian (02), Suedeonia (02), Land of DW (06), Arcodesia (08), Persephonia (15), FARC (02), Aesthetica (04), Flynnonda (01), Varakë (07), Rolloland (13), Terra Avium (13), Summericia (04), Aeroche (10), Cowtermont (11), Tinnmark (07), Altyr Muunilinst (18), Trifoski (05), Skall (18), Republic of Adonia (09), Espen (11) & Utopia (01) :heart: final votes 18 [Quintessa] | Wings of the ISANG - Dark Sea 15 [Arcodesia] | Claudia Cazacu - Freefalling (feat.

(and aw yeah, Somnium has quickly become my fave of my own entries so it would've been everything to win with that :wub: but 2nd was still way better than I could've ever imagined so I'm thrilled that I matched my peak. We'll get there... one day :kink:)
November 21, 20186 yr Author BJSC 110 Badshah & Sunanda Sharma - Tere Naal Nachna 94vimg-so20 Wow, time for the final contest of the year - where has the time gone eh?! We are rounding off a pretty spectacular 2018 in Jadakissnia with our latest switch-up in sound. This time it's all about BOLLYWOOD courtesy of Badshah & Sunanda Sharma with the very fun 'Tere Naal Nachna'! Badshah and Sunanda Sharma are both Indian so this marks yet another brand new nationality for us lately in a main contest. This song made a splash in the BBC Asian network chart as that's how we discovered it. Well, sort of, my brother did and then played it to me and it quickly became infectious *.* this is by FAR the 'cheapest' entry we've sent in terms of YouTube views as this clocks up over 110 million of those :blush: usually it's rare if a Jadakissnia entry even has 1 million views. But we'd be very surprised if even a handful of you guys knew this one! We hope it'll be a fun discovery. You can find us in slot #16 in semi-final 2. This is our 37th entry to date in the BuzzJack Song Contest. ~~~~~~~~~~ BJSC Halloween II Results The M Machine - Black jRLOwUZBQO8 So I never posted anything about the latest Halloween spinoff in here. Oops. Well, yes, the second one of those happened in St. Burbia and I accepted an invitation to be on the veto panel... in which we vetoed nothing #spreadonlinekindness xo Anyway, this time we sent 'Black' by The M Machine to the spinoff - they are an American duo and our entry itself was a spooky instrumental. We were absolutely thrilled with our performance as we finished even higher than the first Halloween spinoff! This time we were 5th place with 83 points *.* previously we finished 7th with spoopy metal entry 'Blood Blood Blood !!' by Unison, so we can proudly say that we have a 100% top 10 streak when we're disguised as Jadakillnia, hooray! I believe this is our 11th spinoff top 10 hit to date and also the second time we have finished in 5th place in a spinoff, following Glasvegas' 'A Snowflake Fell (And It Felt Like A Kiss)' in the last Christmas edition. We picked up one top score from South Danaelanda, plus three silvers from Flynnonda, Cowtermont and Aeroche respectively. Rolloland then gave us a bronze. So a pretty nifty medal positions haul there! Now all that's left is to wait for YBO results :o Thank you to the following countries for pointing us: Flynnonda (10), Deandria (02), Cowtermont (10), Terra Avium (07), South Danaelanda (12), Persephonia (03), Rolloland (08), Cor Lupus (05), Ghoulune (07), Fljótavík (02), Cadelicia (03), Bøtanikkä (01), Aelandor (03) & Aeroche (10) :heart: ~ our spooky votes ~ 12 Percemetery 🎃 Denzel Curry - VENGEANCE | VENGEANCE (feat.

November 27, 20186 yr Author BJSC 110 ● semi-final results Last night it was announced in Aeroche that we have qualified for the BJSC 110 final with fun Bollywood banger 'Tere Naal Nachna' by Badshah & Sunanda Sharma! We were not entirely sure of our chances so it was relieving to be announced through and so early in the night at that. This marks our 7th qualifier in a row (which I believe is currently our second longest streak to date) and an impressive 32nd qualifier out of a total 37 entries to date. Hell yeah! This also means that we have qualified with 9/10 of our entries in 2016, 2017 and 2018. One of these years we'll get a perfect 10 I tell thee!! Thanks to everyone who appreciated this switch-up from us <3 we can be found in slot 6 of the final. This time we lost the following from our would-be/actual votes: semi 1 (would-be) 03 Beaverdonia ··· White Hinterland - Ring the Bell Salty Bieber stans reveal yourselves! Really surprised that this one didn't make it, it's lovely :( semi 2 (actual) 08 Utopia ··· Liela Moss - Memories and Faces 06 Flynnonda ··· Mikhail Catan - Heart and Soul These were both stunners <3 sadly we expected Utopia out but we were really gunning for Flynnonda racism to have finally ended after they smashed last month. Apparently not!
December 5, 20186 yr Finishing in a tiebreak with you is the best thing to happen in the contest all year tbh *.* yay for this being another top 20 for you, a proper earworm ~
December 14, 20186 yr Author BJSC 110 Results Badshah & Sunanda Sharma - Tere Naal Nachna http://www.tolkodin.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/1530968085_hqdefault.jpg About 10 days ago (...oops) our fate in the final BJSC contest of the year was revealed! Our Bollywood banger 'Tere Naal Nachna' finished in a very respectable 18th place with 177 points. We are over the moon with that as it means we finished in the top 20 with all 9 of our qualifiers in 2018, yesss! Badshah & Sunanda Sharma, who can be found on the T-Series YouTube channel #topical, also gave us a top 10 semi-final finish, scraping in there in 10th with 71 points. We're pleased that experimenting with a new sound for the main contest paid off. A couple of you guys seemed to really love this one, particularly Unovia who gifted us a full 18 points (second time this has happened following BÖ's 'Waqqaberry' - who says Jadakissnia can't have pop-hoe appeal eh?! also we returned the favour with a first EVER 18 to Unovia, we couldn't resist their Italian 'Black Skinhead' *.*) and also Jupiterdonia as we received their silver. <3 Other notable moments from this contest include Oslol scooping 1st with my least favourite winner of the year (:kink: luv u Ducky) and Jadaphonia finally finishing next to each other - with the same amount of points to boot!! We lost the tie-break though. #flops Seriously though, this has been a fabulous way to round off a pretty amazing year for Jadakissnia! We have added the aformentioned 9 more top 20s to our tally but also four more top 10s and two more top 5s, hooray! We finished in 5th for the 2018 EOY which matches our placing in 2016, god bless you even years. 2018 streak: 10-06-xx-17-16-05-12-02-17-18 Thanks to the following countries for the points: Aeroche (04), Thelonia (05), Unovia (18), Séyetana (04), Summericia (08), #00274E (10), Skall (08), Persephonia (07), FARC (09), St. Burbia (10), Cumulonimbia (01), Bøtanikkä (06), Arcodesia (06), Jupiterdonia (15), New Lexico (03), Ashton (07), Aesthetica (11), Republic of Adonia (04), East Rukahavian (03), Singerpurear (10), Niceland (12), South Danaelanda (08), Espen (06) & Ojnoj (02) :heart: final votes 18 Unovia ··· Salmo - 90MIN 15 Tartford ··· Craig Armstrong - This Love (feat.

YAY I'm glad you loved it so much as I've been obsessed ever since first listen <3 no problem!! Finishing in a tiebreak with you is the best thing to happen in the contest all year tbh *.* yay for this being another top 20 for you, a proper earworm ~ I agree *.* 3 and a half years and it finally happened! :wub: woop woop, so glad it didn't break my top 20 qualifying streak for the year! Pleased you were a fan as hoped x
December 17, 20186 yr 2018's been your best year so far, just compiled my (unordered) Top 200 and you have 7 entries, only beaten or matched by 4 other countries!
December 17, 20186 yr Author 2018's been your best year so far, just compiled my (unordered) Top 200 and you have 7 entries, only beaten or matched by 4 other countries! Wow, thanks for all the support in 2018 Dan *.* this year has definitely been up there with 2016 for me <3 you've had such a strong year yourself, glad I finally gave you an 18! Speaking of Jadakissnian 2018 entries... BJSC TBO XI update Last night it was announced in New Lexico that we had not 1, not 2, not 3... but a whopping FOUR qualifiers in TBO 2018! This beats our previous best of 3 in 2016 (BLVCK CEILING - WVFFLIFE (CHVRN remix), OVERWERK - Toccata and HÆLOS - Earth Not Above) to be the year that features the most semi-final TBO representation for us, yay! The semi-final threads are not up yet but we do know what our slots will be anyway, as revealed last night, so here are the Jadakissnia songs you can vote for in the semis: semi 1 // slot 3 K Á R Y Y N - BINARY bjsc 101 ● 10th semi 1 // slot 21 2QJiYlU-ZPY Somnium - Sinking bjsc 108 ● 2nd semi 2 // slot 31 la5UHh6Zopc goreshit - the nature of dying bjsc 102 ● 6th semi 2 // slot 33 0M3qd1yOUdY Vendredi sur Mer - Larme à Gauche bjsc 107 ● 12th We were hoping for 'Sinking' and 'the nature of dying' through, as they attracted a fair amount of big points, but the other two were definitely a surprise! Especially over our 5th place hit 'Birdsong' by Claptone (featuring Zola Blood). TBO as unpredictable as ever! We're over the moon with four through anyway - please support us!
January 11, 20196 yr Author BJSC TBO XI Results 2QJiYlU-ZPY la5UHh6Zopc Last night the results of the TBO XI final occurred! It's just dawned on me that I never posted a semi-final update in here, so we actually managed to qualify with not one but TWO songs in a TBO final for the first time, hooray! These were Sominum - 'Sinking' (originally 2nd place in BJSC 108) and goreshit - 'the nature of dying' (originally 6th place in BJSC 102). The exact semi-final positions of K Á R Y Y N and Vendredi sur Mer are currently unknown, but sadly this was the end of the road for them. However, we can happily report that both of our songs that were in the final placed in the top 20 <3 'Sinking' finished in a strong 12th place with 83 points and 'the nature of dying' placed 18th with 74 points. We're pleased that the BJSC world thinks that two entries we treasure a lot are within the top 20 best of the year. Our previous best in a TBO final (and the only time we'd ever previously been in one) was 19th place back in 2016 with BLVCK CEILING's 'WVFFLIFE (CHVRN Remix)' so we're chuffed to have beaten that twice over! We were also pleased with the eventual winner of this TBO as it was our 15 pointer - 'This Wild Darkness (CYA Remix)' by Moby, congrats Cowtermont! :cheer: Thank you to the following nations who voted for us: goreshit voters: Land of DW (15), Séyetana (13), Arcodesia (03), Cowtermont (15), Persephonia (10), Terra Avium (06) & Fljótavík (12) :heart: Somnium voters: Quintessa (15), Séyetana (15), Rolloland (09), Cowtermont (02), Persephonia (18), S DNLD (09), Terra Avium (03), New Lexico (04) & Fljótavík (08) :heart: FINAL votes: 18 Quintessa 109 .: Wings of the ISANG :: Dark Sea 15 Cowtermont 106 .: Moby :: This Wild Darkness (CYA Remix) 13 Tartford 108 :.

We have one representative for the third year in the row - this time it's Russian ex-Serebro member Elena Temnikova with dreamy electro-pop song 'Kazalsya Strannym'. We sadly followed-up two back-to-back top 10s with this DNQ back in BJSC 103, as it finished in 24th place in its semi-final originally. Fingers crossed that Elena can reach the semi-finals, please support her!
January 27, 20196 yr Author BJSC 111 DJ Maphorisa, RudeBoyz and Distruction Boyz - Midnight Starring (feat. DJ Tira, Busiswa and Moonchild Sanelly) b1wVpFCHeyM Well this is fashionably late compared to our usual standards but it's still a day before semi results so here's an announcement post! We begin 2019 with our latest switch up in sound and a rather risky one at that. This is a South African house song, namely 'Midnight Starring' by DJ Maphorisa, RudeBoyz and Distruction Boyz, with further features from DJ Tira, Busiswa and Moonchild Sanelly. Phew! DJ Maphorisa is one of the masterminds behind the production of Drake's 'One Dance' (cheap!111) but this is not quite as accessible as that smash hit! A large portion of this song is in the Zulu language (one of the official languages of South Africa) and it doesn't have the most obvious hook, instead there are lots of fun little parts that all come together to make an interesting entry. It was a grower for the Jadakissnian people - we weren't entirely sure at first but there was something about it that kept us returning. In previous years we have a pretty good track record for January contests (8th for Sonia & Selena in 2016, 12th for TEARIST in 2017 and 10th for K Á R Y Y N in 2018) but could this be our first January misfire? This didn't quite set plug.dj alight and has 2/3 DNQ predictions. So we're wholeheartedly expecting to DNQ. But keeping our fingers crossed that our two vocal fans and a bunch of silent ones can save us. Maybe. We can be found in slot 24 of semi 1. This is our 38th BJSC entry to date!
February 17, 20196 yr Author So we started off the year with a DNQ oops. DJ Maphorisa and friends finished in 24th place in the semi, with 40 points. It was ahead of its time I tell thee!! Aside from being on the sidelines, things went well in the final as our entire top 3 finished in the top 10 *.* These were our faves in the final: 18 Icarus feat. Real Lies - Man of the Land // Fljótavík 15 Shortparis - Страшно // elëdan 13 Ferdinand Dreyssig, Marvin Hey, Worakls - Cœur de la nuit // Cowtermont 12 Sam Perry - Looking For Light (Live) // Bøtanikkä 11 Nadia Ali - Fantasy (Tritonal Air Up There Remix) // Jupiterdonia 10 Anna von Hausswolff - The Mysterious Vanishing of Electra // Lotunia 09 De Staat - Kitty Kitty // Alteria 08 In The Loop - Tu Sì 'Na Cosa Grande // Persephonia 07 Bomba Estéreo - Química (Dance With Me) (feat. Balkan Beat Box) // Kluminican Republic 06 Capital Bra feat. Luciano and Eno - Roli Glitzer Glitzer // Pupok 05 Sho Madjozi - Huku // Espen 04 Shygirl - O // Medhelnia 03 Vulfpeck - Darwin Derby // Oslol 02 Tommy Trash - Me & U (feat. Anna Lunoe) // Aeroche 01 Holy Ghost! - Dance A Little Closer // Harmonica Now, Jadakissnia don't do more than one DNQ in a year (except for that one time when we did) so we fully intend to come back with a BANG in Cowtermont. This will be our most retro pick to date - 1990s Eurodance here we come!! BJSC 112
February 26, 20196 yr Author BJSC 112 Pharao - I Show You Secrets gA7OWEQP_7Q SWIFTLY moving on from last month's mess (an underrated bop I tell thee) we hope to be back with a BANG this time with Eurodance entry 'I Show You Secrets' by German group Pharao! It has random rapping on it so that's already Eurodance to a t. This is our oldest entry to date, beating Adam F's 1997 minor hit 'Circles', as this was released in 1994! 'I Show You Secrets' narrowly missed out on being our 90s vs. 00s spinoff entry, as our noughties entry was picked by fate instead, that being 'Temptation' by Arash. But we finally get to send this now! We've unleashed Pharao to another part of the site in the past, namely for Club Bizarre with 'There Is A Star' and that did okay. But it deserved more! So here's hoping the #dancebloc and any other fans can help us out here. This is our 39th entry to date and can be found in slot 24 of semi 2. P.s. both Ashton and Espen have recycled artists from our entry 'Midnight Starring' last month, so it may have flopped but its impact lives on *.*
February 26, 20196 yr <3 no need for words to show how much I love this. This has to qualify, just I wish we were in same semi.
February 28, 20196 yr Author <3 no need for words to show how much I love this. This has to qualify, just I wish we were in same semi. Bless you Addy my fellow Pharao stan *.* keeping my fingers crossed, 12 woots on plug was at least a good sign! If only we were in the same semi indeed.
