omg where do I begin?

 

It really has been a tumultuous 50 contests together. From both winning in August contests, landing in the top 2 together, and you giving me two 18’s while Harry has given me none :P cheers to another huge era!

:heart: what a ride it's been! Here's to 50 more *.*

Been a fan from the very start with me pointing highly Virtual Paradise. Top picks from Dobago would be Scope (gave that a random play a few weeks back, tune), Waqqaberry & Gauc n Bass. I do believe we've never given each other top marks yet :o let's see how the next 50 pan out!

 

Oh plus I'm liking your anniversary entry too :D

Oh yes of course! Mutual appreciation with me awarding your debut a medal position *.* although I believe you're right - still yet to give each other a gold :o one day eh. As for your Jadakissnia picks - I approve! I love that you listened to 'Scope' recently - funnily enough, Mssingno finally released some new music the other week and I'd highly recommend those songs too. Annoyingly they're only available on Bandcamp though - my poor 2020 Spotify playlist :lol:

 

Yay! Glad to hear it - fingers crossed it qualifies tonight.

We QUALIFIED for the BJSC 123 final with Aphex Twin - Ageispolis!

 

Tonight it was announced (by Sharon Mitchell) in Hendinia that we have progressed to the final of BJSC 123! We are over the moon that our anniversary entry 'Ageispolis' found enough fans in semi 1 to make it. This is our 10th qualifier in a row which matches our longest ever qualifying streak! We currently have the joint 2nd longest streak in the contest, tying with Altyr Muunilinst and Hushkanukia who are also on 10. Fljótavík lead the way with 13 qualifiers, following BJSC heavyweights Aeroche and FARC DNQing. This is our 43rd qualifier to date. Thanks so much to everyone who voted for us! We've been drawn in slot 21 of the final. Here's to a solid result!

Jadakissnia alumnus Arca scored us a 9th place finish in the first Pride spin-off with 'Desafío' but sadly this success could not be replicated for our 7 pointer '@@@@@'. It may just have something to do with the length of this one. We just get the feeling. Our fellow BJSC 74 debutants Flynnonda also failed to reach the final with Yaeji, who has previously made it. Here's to a better result with their own 50th anniversary entry next time! We were happy to get as many as 8 of our votes through.

01 Oslol: MIREI - Lonely In Tokyo

 

Skall flopped again with a good song. Rude. Thelonia's DNQ was quite the shocker as it had a great reaction on BeatSense (plug.dj's drunk cousin) and definitely stands out from the crowd. Let's not make #TheloniaRacism a trend again! Oslol was also a bit of a shock. That was a catchy pop number right there.

Taking on the task of attempting to rank all 50 of your main contest entries because why not xx (I voted for nearly all of these songs so it's tough to rank some of them :magic:)

 

It's kind of tough to decide where to rank 'Ageispolis' as it's the only entry of yours that I don't associate with BJSC at all, having been a fave song for me outside of the contest for years - it could easily be #1 here but decided to give that spot to an actual BJSC discovery as it'd feel a bit wrong otherwise! (Of course very pleased to see it as your anniversary entry though <3)

You ranking every single one *.* the dedication :heart: I'd find this so difficult now but I definitely agree with you that 'Sinking' is #1 so yay for that snap! Some of these surprised me, like 'WVFFLIFE (CHVRN Remix)' being above 'Yo Quiero Bailar' :o and 'Ruins' as high as 5th, wow that's held up so well for you! But yes, when you've voted for nearly every single one I guess the positions are liable to switch often :lol: thanks for going to the effort to do this!!

'Yo Quiero Bailar' is one of those I haven't heard for a while, I'm sure if I listened to it again it'd bring good memories flooding back and I'd probably place it a lot higher :magic:

Some of my faves are on Bray’s bottom tier </3

 

At least we agree with Virtual Paradise

G'won 'Virtual Paradise' uniting everyone *.*

 

'Yo Quiero Bailar' is one of those I haven't heard for a while, I'm sure if I listened to it again it'd bring good memories flooding back and I'd probably place it a lot higher :magic:

Quite possibly! It's a testament to your loyalty that a song you gave 15 points is as low as 28th out of 50 :cheeseblock:

Yeah I'm a real sucker for synthy stuff and witch house. You were absolutely ON FIRE in 2016, a lot of those were amongst my favourites of the whole year <3 I guess your recent stuff hasn't had as much of a chance to stick with me, but my points tally to you speaks for itself so keep doing what you're doing!

Thanks guys for taking the time to do this :wub:

 

'Time' is definitely my 2nd favourite of my entries Cameron (behind 'Sinking') - I'm glad it got such a positive second wind by winning YBO!

 

I think 2016 was my favourite Jadakissnia year too Chez!

 

'Epiphany' already as high as top 3 for you Leww!! Slay

GUYS I just did a HUGE update of my OP as it was a year and a half out of date :tearsmile: but yeah all the entries + stats are updated there, plus the Spotify playlist of all my entries is now embedded (been listening to that while working on this :heart:), at last :wub: ahhhh I'm glad I finally found the motivation. Now, to stay on top of this thread again!

 

BJSC 125 Results

BETHY - UTOPIA!

 

XvJYfTs.jpg

 

So, now was not the greatest time to bring this thread back to life, as our latest entry has hardly been a roaring success :lol: but hey - motivation is motivation! BETHY is a London-based singer who represented Jadakissnia for BJSC 125 with 'UTOPIA!'. This dreamy song blends BETHY's soft vocals with electronic and pop elements in the production. The video is quite striking as well, with BETHY presenting herself in a larger than life fashion with bold contact lenses, festival-ready space buns, wings and very chunky boots. The best news about this entry is that it did advance to the final, extending our current streak to a new personal best of 12 qualifications in a row. We currently equalise Altyr Muunilinst and Hushkanukia at the top of the streak list. It took 5 years but we're finally up there, right at the top! Let's see how long we can keep it up. So yes, BETHY did the business on that front, somewhat defying the odds with 3 DNQ predictions. However, we had to settle for a lowly 37th place in the final with 104 points. We just about avoided a first ever bottom 5 finish in the final! But this is still our lowest final finish ever and our worst result of 2020 so far. Still, 37th is a unique position and at least we qualified in the first place. BETHY finished 17th in the semi-final out of a possible 30 entries, with 52 points, so not utterly disastrous or anything - she was safe enough to avoid the bottom 3. Okay actually it might have been a little disastrous as our (fabulous) hosts in Jupiterdonia just informed us that we were saved by the final voter. Erm, we appreciate that individual a lot. Thank you to everyone who supported this entry! We got 0 gold medals for the first time since OTHERLiiNE in BJSC 120, but Hushkanukia were kind enough to give us a silver medal and Persephonia also awarded us a bronze too. 2020 proves to be a strong one for the Jadaphonia alliance as we've received several this year and returned multiple back. Woo!

 

Overall stats update: 'UTOPIA!' is our 45th top 40 hit to date. Our 2020 streak currently looks like this: 10-06-23-14-37

 

Hotly tipped contenders from Hendinia and Ultraviolenceland (in the form of Noonie Bao and Izzy Bizu) were battling right at the end for the crown. However, it was actually Altyr Muunilinst who swooped in with a photo finish! Their winning song was the synthtastic 'Mi Amor' by Nova Miller. Its star-studded dodgy green-screen video was an ultimate talking point on plug! I guess it was endearing in a purposefully bad 'I Don't Care' by Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber way. Anyway, a blood-bath of a final meant that we didn't award this any points. Izzy Bizu with 'Faded' was the only song in the top 3 to gain points from us actually. But we did like the entry and look forward to heading to Altyr next time! Our 18 on this occasion went to Danæviia with the captivating 'Gravity' by Boris Brejcha featuring Laura Korinth. I believe this is our 3rd gold medal to the dancey nation over the years. This finished in a criminally low 31st place this month :( at least we had good company down there in the 30s. Our 15 pointer went to Persephonia with their brilliant Burial pastiche 'Hidden' by Vacant. This entry finished in a respectable 17th place! However not the most desirable position for the nation as they've already achieved it many times over. Still, they finished a whole 20 (!) places higher than us, so nothing to sniff about at all. Our bronze then went to Scherzland, who appear in our medal positions for the first time ever, I believe! This was with the enchanting '700 Angels' by ELBA. They finished a little lower than our silver, as Scherzland were 19th place on this occasion. Not the most spectacular month ever for medal position success but at least a couple of them were able to achieve top 20 finishes. The highest placing entry that we voted for, as aforementioned, was Izzy Bizu's 'Faded' sent by Ultraviolenceland - we gave it 3 points and it smashed in 2nd place! It was actually a #20 hit in Jadakissnia a few weeks ago.

 

Thank you to the following nations who pointed us the following amounts:

 

15 - Hushkanukia

13 - Persephonia

11 - Republic of Adonia

02 Skall ♢ Legowelt – Disco Rout

Our voting history is waaaaay out of date so no update this time but I guess that's the next project to gravitate towards. One step at a time!

 

We're very excited for the next contest. Our most likely option is going to be classic Jadakissnia - dripping with synths and a real dark feel to it.

*.* Aphex Twin ensuring that you pulled back ahead :heart: god bless the support from you and Leww, plus a lot from Skall in recent times. All three of you gave a gold to Ross From Friends, that one really united the stans x

 

</3 it's a shame that 'UTOPIA!' didn't connect more but I'm happy it at least has big fans in you and Cameron. Here's hoping my next entry performs a little better :o
