Congrats on the first win Roba <3 not my favourite entry from you by any means but it makes up for your run of amazing entries last year that never got any further than top 10 scrapes. Glad to see that you are planning to host as well!

 

I didn't realise 'Try To Fight' had been in PJSC before, think that must have been one that I skipped or didn't actually listen to. x

Yea I get that. I knew this probably wouldn't appeal to ur tastes massively as I've stopped sending unusual stuff for the moment.. Justice for those incredible songs not making it indeed 👏

 

YES YES YES! So happy you are now a BJSC winning nation :cheer: ok so we didn't actually vote for this particular entry but that's not important you've sent FAR too many amazing entries in the past so this is finally the deserving success owed to Summericia!

 

And we look forward to visiting this fine nation to continue our relentless flopping this decade :D

 

Thanks Dobbo. yes love the praise!! hopefully you won't flop in Summericia108

 

Congratulations from me - really enjoyed your entry and feel you've been getting better and better this year so it seems apt that you've got a victory. ^_^

I hope you do host, it's quite a lot of work if I'm honest but it's fun to see everything unfold as you go along. I don't think anyone will have any expectations from anyone who hosts, a contest can only be as good as the songs we all choose to send to it so don't put any pressure on yourself!

 

Plus posting the final message in here as a nice memento!

 

 

oh wow that's a really nice comment, thanks Dandy, The pressure is going now that I've worked out how to do certain things! Expect nothing amazing but of course as you say I'm sure it will be fun. nervous but excited too. haha. glad my entries are going up in your estimates.

I've sent dates so hopefully once the form is worked on, things should start very soon!

 

Obviously elated for you Rob, far too many of your entries have flown under the radar when I'd have expected them to do much better so for this to live up to the hype (and exceed it) is fantastic. I'm very excited for a contest in Summericia!

 

And you are owed a BJSC winner's widget now too!

Edited August 27, 20186 yr by gooddelta

Dandy is still owed the third star on his BJSC widget as well ;o

Actually I think I can now add these again myself - it's everyone from 104 onwards that needs one

The widgets for 104 and 105 are added, the awards section is just broken and doesn't display them in chronological order any more for some reason :lol:

I've just discovered that - how weird!

 

Still, turns out I can now delete one too so I'll just get back to adding mine and Rob's!

congratulations babe, a really inspired entry and an incredible video to make the package one of my all time favs <3

ooh yess now that Innocent tag finally has some company *.* Thanks Jake, I really enjoyed ur entry too as well as Liam's!

absolutely deserved - one of the best videos i have EVER seen in bjsc and yet another great summericia entry. makes up for lost in istanbul last month, and still goin!

I'll link the video into this post later....

 

 

Exciting stuff as the next contest opens up in the Summercia Capitol!

Following our win last month we decided to take advantage of our AQ and send our 2nd ever pure trance song, 'Connection Through Sound' by Katty Heath is imo absolutely beautiful and breathtakingly ethereal. just those *feels* adds up this song. it was between two tracks and I didn't actually confirm this 1st but after re listening to both of my potentials this one sounded like the perfect one to send especially as we are heading into the later part of summer going into winter season nearly. I would have definitely had sent this at some stage tbh because it just has that go to factor for me. another reason I've sent this is because last time I sent a trance track and sadly it dnqed for us all the way back in 2016 so being the winner I also took advantage of not letting this beauty fail to make the final THIS TIME!! Yay for winning. so it's kinda a little retribution for 'Dive' too!

 

Amazing! Great to hear another emotional trance track from your nation. Hope it actually does well this time.

Can we just give you the win again? :D

me too.. have a good feeling about it for some reason tbh!

 

Can we just give you the win again? :D

 

LOL Definitely can't see that happening but trance for the smash either way <3

We had a fun ride hosting seeing the songs and votes which was very enjoyable, less said about spreadsheets tho. I finally got it right in the end but to the point where I was doing them for 8 hours/over 12 hours last week was excruciating and very frustrating lol. I'm so slow at stuff and work complicatedly. all smoothened out in the end tho and would like to entend a huge thank you to Bre for rescuing me from the scoreboards. we'd probably still be on like 20 the rate I was going hahaha.

 

lots and lots of fantastic songs this month, I guess when ur hosting you really get into literally every song almost as u have to put even more effort in. eventually there wasn't anything I disliked, maybe a couple but that's always gonna be the case.

 

Thanks once again everyone who pointed our AQ the sublime trance tune by Katty Heath. we're chuffed with 20 (matching Jonathan Bree and taking our participation consistency up to 5 Top 20's since February, woo) and I honestly didn't know if it'd do as well as that even so thanks all. especially Utopia for our sole 18 & ur song grew on us loads by final time so yay.

now I'm undecided on what I'll send next month. I'll keep the streak up (yes I know I had a break but still) hopefully tho!

Connection Through Sound was FANTASTIC, kinda deserved more than it got but I'm glad to see a trance entry do well for you this time!

 

(still don't know how Dive managed to DNQ when we had Give Love A Try and Saving Light win just a few months later)

Yea I was hoping the fans could have got it a bit higher even if it wasn't top 10 or anything but still it really made up for the injustice of Dives dnq, that and it was so beautiful to me <3 I'm certainly not gutted with its performance at all and im glad you loved it so much.

 

After those two you mentioned won I'm now unsure about what went wrong.. it might have been just that none of my success was as big as it was back then till Billie changed everything.

 

to think Give Love A Try was my other potential THAT month too (yes I had two trance potentials) I was kicking myself lol but you just never know with Bjsc! Passing up on a winner like you with Cathedrals there :o Thanks for the 10 again and well done, Summer really grew on me as the contest went on and was in my commiserations but only cause it was an exceedingly tough/strong contest!

109 ::: Anne Clark - Our Darkness

 

Coming into the follow up contest from having hosted with a very OLD song... dating back to the year 1984 from techno legend Anne Clark, its a song that was deemed ahead of its time back then but has opened the door for so much techno/electro 80's song since. I guess you could say this is a very risky song for us as we can't see anything but a DNQ this time but hopefully it can grab some fans who are into this type of stuff. we hope you enjoy this electro/techno 80's song with talking verses and choruses. yes it's one of them songs. we are placed in semi 1 for this contest.

 

--

 

On another note we are entering our 2nd spin off contest... yay!! and we're pleased to announce that we will be sending our 3rd time lucky entry (for a DNQ that was unlucky twice) Keys&Cages 'Invisible', there were several we were considering but this was easily my favourite entry until Crim3s came along (its still my 2nd fave overall now) & was my most played song on Spotify in 2016 as well as coming 3rd in my Eoy of said year. We aren't planning on sending any rock/metal this year so this will count as our annual send a rock song to something a year thingy!

 

Should have qualified first time round xx

Edited October 12, 20186 yr by Ghostface Roba

'Invisible' is a BANG ON choice Rob :wub: that deserves so much justice, good luck *.*

Weird leftfield Summericia is back *.* I approve greatly. (Idk if it will qualify but I really hope so x)
