Just catching up, I couldn't bring myself to follow the results as closely as I did in the previous two contests, I was pretty sure I wasn't qualifying this time around so I'm not surprised, It seems the entries of mine that I love the most are flopping the hardest :lol:

 

The worst part is, I was sure I was entering Set It Off since before last month's Semi Finals and was really excited to enter them, pretty much the day after I confirmed them I was considering changing my entry, I so wish I had done now, at least I have something ready for next month though ^_^ I think my future strategy will to pick something that I think you lot will like apposed to what I like, although rock(ish) music seems to be Taahino's trademark now :angel:

 

So many songs that I was rooting for are through already, particularly happy to see Allie X and Halsey qualify and ofc Hushkanukia :cheer: Gutted for Ultraviolenceland though :cry:

I know it's quite tempting to do that after you DNQ but really whether YOU love it should always take priority, it's all about finding a middle ground between sending something you love and you think others will love too. Really, the fact that you've given even just one person a truly great discovery can be rewarding even if the majority don't get it.

It will come as no surprise to you I'm sure when I say stick to what you love, which is partly, yes, because I'm still loving it and it would have been a great qualifier. It's fine to send what you think other people will like but make sure you love it as well, that's how you get the most out of the contest or it'll feel all the more empty if it fails.

 

Feel free to go beyond your comfort zone though, I consider 'rockish' music my home base and even then I go beyond it all the time if I have a great song that's nowhere near it to send.

That's sort of what I did last month! I switched my entries just before the semis opened. I knew most people would like it but I wasn't behind it really and in the end it felt like a false victory getting to the semi and then finishing top 15. Also the track was quite housey which I'm not usually a fan of.

 

This month however I absolutely love my entry!

You & I Alone :(

URGH SO DISAPPOINTED IN BEAVERDONIA

 

Y'ALL CAN SHIMMY SHIMMY YOURSELF OFF A LIFF (BEAVERFINA FEEL THE BEAVERFEVER)

Aw my DNQ looked kinda obvious after the predictions, appears to be a bit too marmite with three top 3s and three sets of low points, nothing really in the middle :lol: Maybe I should've saved it for BJ Fest after all :thinking:

 

On the plus side I'm happy to see Bellamia crash out so that our pattern of qualifying and not qualifying together lives on :magic: In fact Joseph probably cursed me to DNQ.

oops. i don't know what to send to Q, i'm withdrawing again then :'(

Not even REMOTELY surprised at SLO failing to make the cut. It's good and all, but it's far too subtle to ever have been a BJSC smash. I may just be unfairly comparing it to SONG OF LIFE For My Sins though.

 

Also, BOO HISS at Merely not making it. Stunning song.

Jester being beaten to SLO and then qualifying with his backup against literally all expectations while SLO ended up DNQing is one of the more surprising turns of events I can remember in BJSC! :o

Thanks Lindsay and April :heart: :o (and the other 5 :wub:)

 

Only lost Adonia and Avalonia from my votes but adored both so sad they are out :(

:cheer: in the final! A big thanks to all the voters! Yeah(3x) is a bop and a half and I would've been gutted to sit out of the final with it.

 

Also, v heartbroken for Ethanola, Ramrynia and Numayania :( :( :(

jake🌚 got a nice little run going there!

 

Ladies DNQ :( ?

Yup. I really thought it would do well (catchy, upbeat, really stood out in a semi full of midtempo dance) so the complete lack of hype really surprised me. It was a VERY good semifinal so I'm glad I was at least close to qualifying, I guess. Gutted for Jukianie and Ashton but pleased to have swapped points with you both!!

 

At least FARC, Hushkanukia and Isconia made it, yesssssssss x3.

 

THE ONLY AMERICAN POSTER IN THE FINAL AGAIN JFC :drama: :drama: :drama:

Nope!! Botanikka is there too :D
