Yassss slay at Q'ing again. I wasn't at all confident this would even get through tbh cause it might be a little on the basic side for some people but I'm glad it's not totally the case. Slay at another pop entry making it in. Are WE READY to return back to the bottom 10??? :rofl: (I hope not but I think it's extremely likely tbh) might as well accept that we made the final regardless. Yassss :cheer: slay me ERICKAAAAA <3

An 2nd consecutive top 25 for us then :o thanks to everyone who pointed us, unfortunately for the pop fans it is for now a case a rare one off as we're heading back to either industrial or German Dark wave *.* of course the last time we went in this direction we entered Still Going which went top 10. Much anticipated whatever we choose~

'Everyone has hopes your human after all' #BJSC95

 

 

NEWS BULLETIN:

 

We have received exclusive word this evening that former entrant for Summericia, Maggie Lindemann who didn't manage to qualify for us in BJSC78 has managed to score a top 100 placing (#92) on the Official UK Singles Chart with her latest single "Pretty Girl". This marks the first person or band etc that represented us to chart in the UK chart. Let's here it for Maggie. G'won gurrrl *.* :cheer: :cheer:

Our song for the upcoming contest shall be revealed in due course!

Edited May 5, 20178 yr by Rob S ~

g'won!

 

I love that feeling when a song/artist you send goes on to have a hit. Especially loved it when I sent 'Gecko' and then it topped the chart a few months later (in vocal mix form but still).

I can't believe it's been like four months since it was released. I heard it a few times when it was on my New Weekly Music playlist on Spotify and thought it was decent :)

For May we are sending what I was intending to send in October/November...

 

VNV Nation's Illusion is track 9 off the 2007 album Judgement. Beware this is the most personal and deep song we've ever sent. Released in May 2007 bizarrely enough so fair to say it's also my oldest track by 10 years.

 

This was then linked months later and is now used as a tribute song to London girl Sophie Lancaster who was tragically murdered by a group of thugs for being a goth in August 2007!

 

I've been listening to this for about 6 weeks now and I'm still as gripped by the lyrics, spoken words, emotional piano bit etc.

 

Here it is!

 

This song is absolutely stunning. I've played it three times now and its sending shivers down my spine. Not many songs do that. The piano bit is similar to Liquidity by Marillion. It's not in my semi so I hope the people in semi 2 vote it into the final.

Ooh thanks for the positive words Rollo, shame your in the other semi :( completely agree with you though, it's one of those songs that when u r in the right mood can genuinely move you. It's the aim I think anyway with the lyrics and all. I'd like to think it'll qualify but I'm sure atm. It might be the wrong month to send even though it is the right semi I'm in for the track!

 

Thanks :)

For the second time this year we head back into DNQ zone as Illusion crashes out at the unfortunate position of 21st place.

 

Our thoughts? We knew this would happen as we'd had doubts especially when we had preserved the song to be sent in November!! Just thought I'd continue with our *interesting* entries though as we hadn't been confident over the first two we confirmed.

 

Illusion dnqing makes it the 4th song we REALLY LOVED along with Invisible, Dive & Knocking On Your Heart that missed out. With Fantasy following!

 

I did make a decision that whenever I next dnqed I'd actually sit out for a contest and that is exactly what we're going to do for the first time since joining in BJSC76! We will be back soon though with a hopeful hit ^_^ (just wanting a Lil break~)

A big shame this didn't qualify. I've played their top 5 most popular Spotify songs and like them all so I'll listen to their albums when I have the time. Thanks for bringing them to my attention.

Gutted, it was v. close as to who was going to get my 12 for the semi this month.

This just missed out on points from me in the semi, aw at it falling just short of qualifying. Fair enough at you wanting to take a break from the contest - as long as you do actually return because your entries are really becoming essential of late!! x

come back with another witch house bop xxx

Yes there's plenty of great stuff, it was actually my sister who introduced them to me in March. Thanks for the support, could've had u in our semi. Oh well!

Yeah it's quite unfortunate, it happens I guess, thanks for the 10 though Leonardo *.*

As I saw :P I'll return soon, I've been meaning to sit out for a while now but didn't because I started looking for the likes of CRIM3S etc. I will be returning just not right away. I want time to search for something that is *essential* lmao

 

come back with another witch house bop xxx

I'll try, hope it's not too soon *.*

Oh I never posted in here about my disapproval of your DNQ </3 absolutely stunning entry, the lyrics were really moving and made me feel a bit emotional on first listen! Got 10 points from me in the semi so another Summericia entry this year that I really liked *.*

 

Glad to see my entry grew on you from 12th in the semi to 6 points in the final! :heart:

We return for the 97th Bjsc with a song first released in 2001 but took over YouTube when remixed 9 years ago *.* it's a nice slice of anime pop eurodance :dance:

Edited July 23, 20178 yr by Rob S~

Consider me hyped for this return then!

& we're back with what I'd personally like to call a BOP, whether that reflects in the contest is anybody's guess.

 

It comes from Caramell with their nightcore/eurodance/slightly anime (the video) track Caramelldensen!! *.*

 

To anyone's disappointment that were expecting the Swedish version apologies it's the English version as I think it's better! However the Swedish one is still great nonetheless!

 

"Now dance to the beat, wave your hands together, come feel the heat forever and ever" :dance: :dance:

 

It was a huge YouTube phenomenon back in the day too. Remember the OLD YouTube days _*

 

English version entered

 

here's also the swedish version for the guys familiar preferring that one!
