MAGO has been one of my potentials for a while now. You know, whatever Korean song you ever go for, I 1000% will have already heard and will most-probably love.

Olga Seryabkina - Что Же Ты Наделал




Okay. Mother Russia it is. We're back to foreign language after going English and indie pop completely backfired. At this point we're just hoping someone likes this one compared to the virtually no one from last month.

Supercharged.

What did we learn today everyone? The bookies are CLOWNS. Getting into the final was great, seeing the contender odds only to avoid flopping by a few points? Not good.

So for potentials I have basic pop, indie dance, and full on EDM. Idk what to send, but considering that this is our worst year so far (again), just about anything can suffice.

The only positive we can take from this is this snazzy new flag design, which I added to my Twitch banner :P

Should this be the new flag? Decisions decisions...

Vetta Borne - Kissing Strangers




Sent Canadian indie, y'all weren't here for that. Sent Russian synthpop, y'all weren't here for that either.

So here's something ripped from Triple J and sounds like a Holland-Oats entry, so I'm predicting it's gonna be the same old story different day. But hey, old habits die hard.

By the grace of God, we got through to the final!

Enjoy this while it lasts, pop lovers, because we have BIG plans for the rest of the year (mostly)

kinda expected. We've only had one hit this year so there's no chance for this to be a successful year, might as well switch it up for the second half :P

BJFEST VI | REZZ - Taste Of You (feat. Dove Cameron)



Expecting this to be business as usual but couldn't resist sending a very recent discovery, NMF good for something I guess! :P Here's a gritty EDM track to lead us into a future that's less pop.

Sibewest X Ytho - Energy




Three main contest entries and a spin-Off entry that didn’t go anywhere later and Cor Lupus has pretty much fallen off everyone’s radar. The second half of the year is pretty much an uphill battle even though the year as a whole has been a wash, but we have a plan: it’s back to old territory.

Back to Russia and back to something more electronic after several contests of pop. Sibewest did a spin-Off once and did extremely well, was it the right choice to self-recycle?

The answer was no. :(

A change in direction from cool pop after starting with a new art direction to get us back into BJSC’s good graces, our most inspired entry in ages, and it does slightly better with two 18’s. However the plan with this was to help the country get up from struggling in the contest this year... and we’re still struggling to get a hit. Have we become the Rita Ora of the contest?

Next contest is probably gonna be random, like I said this year is a wash. Maybe continue with dance but make it more serviceable? Or bring in something K-pop adjacent to bring the pop voters back?

AVIRA & Diana Miro - The Worship (Mark Knight Remix)




A change in direction in the hopes of finally getting another hit resulted in yet another lukewarm reception and an okay performance at best. This dance track is a little more serviceable, serving a piano house beat. Will we continue to struggle? Or will the BJSC audiences finally throw us a bone?

SOMEHOW... WE QUALIFIED!!!

So... we made it! Once again our prayers have been answered! With a lot of dance in the final, however, getting a hit seems to be a pretty steep battle. But after a thrilling semi results show that saw a few surprise qualifiers, who knows what could happen?

Okay... some interesting results here.

ngl I was kinda resigned to DNQ here and the odds/predictions didn't really help either. So for this to take a page out of Trifoski's book and defy the odds to give us our first hit in an uncharacteristically long amount of time was... pretty sweet. I mean it not only beat out DNQ predictions but came top 5 in the semi, and then come final results the two nations that I expected to be big fans ended up not voting, only for semi 1 to come through and fill that void!

Did we really defy the odds, or did we just get lucky?

Next contest: With one of our partners in crime Aesthetica taking home the crown, the possibilities are endless. What do you guys want to see?
- A k-pop/k-pop adjacent bop?
- another experimental dance entry?
- test the waters with Scandipop again?

#BJSC137 #CorLupusRising
Experimental dance entry I would definitely say! :wub:

idk I mean they didn’t show up for Energy and pop bloc while still fickle seems to be more loyal especially when a lot of their faves don’t make it through

 

might just gun for what I think would appeal to the possible AQs, that’s the price you pay when you love songs too much

OVRGRWN - Wasteland




So this was one of the songs that was a potential from last month that we're sending this month.

OVRGRWN brings their red-hot retro synth style to the FiXT Neon: Afterglow anthology with the brand new track, "Wasteland." The new single is the duo's most energetic piece to date, combining their signature dream-like atmosphere with powerful vocal hooks for an unforgettable indie pop anthem. "Wasteland" is out now on all platforms from independent retro synth label FiXT Neon.
An act from the Bay Area giving us straight up Stranger Things realness. Will we be sent to the upside down this contest?
