Another really good entry from St. Burbia, agreed that it's a great vid, reminded me of Katy Perry's Roar at the start but I think this is much better than that (both the vid & the song).

BJSC 98: Eva Simons - Guaya

 

 

Probs gonna get stoned for being cheap but this is absolutely one of my favourite songs this year and I HAD to send it. This weird and wonderful song has everything you could need - a banging video, a slightly Spanish influence to jump on the current musical trend, the Island vibes in the verses and Asian influences in the choreography for the chorus. It's sung by an almost unrecognisable Eva Simons, who has previously won with "Silly Boy" but it was quite a while ago x

cheap x

 

(banger *.*)

Quite surprisingly, given what felt like a lack of hype, Guaya has provided us with our 4th top 10 of the year! :o

 

Thanks to everyone who pointed Guaya and in particular for those 3 18s from Kluminican Republic, East Rukhavian and Thelonia <3

So proud *.*

This is an absolute bop *.* I had heard it in the couple weeks before the contest but it's only peaked since it's been entered! Think that was our first time giving you 18 points! :D

BJSC 99: V. Bozeman - Race Jones

 

 

I decided to finally send this long term potential. It's one of the most striking and powerful song and video combos I've come across and I've loved it from the first listen. It was written and released by V following the shooting of Michael Brown in 2014 and yet somehow feels (quite scarily) even more relevant in 2017. I hope some of you will enjoy and appreciate this incredible song as much as I do!

BJSC 101: Irma Thomas - Anyone Who Knows What Love Is (Will Understand)

 

 

RESUME VIEWING :o

 

Well it felt only right to enter this hit single hidden gem from the year 2023 1964. Of course, it was basically unknown for the last 50 years or so until Black Mirror came along and reintroduced to the world. There's something so timeless and stunning about this and I thank Black Mirror every day for introducing this song to me <3

what a bop. (genuinely such an earworm tho ffs, it's always in my head after i watch an episode with it :mellow:)

Oh my! Is that the oldest entry ever to BJSC! :o Or has someone sent something before from, for example, one of the delta blues players from the 1930s! :o

Where's Bray?!

:hi:

 

Vivaldi's 'Winter' has been entered to BJSC so no this isn't the oldest xo

 

Idk if there have been any older recordings though :thinking: I remember Love's 'Alone Again Or' was from the 60s as well but that's later than this. x

King of knowledge *.*

 

I'm going to claim the record for oldest recording and anyone who disagrees can fight me :o

Actually I found one xx Singerpurear sent Kyu Sakamoto's 'Ue O Muite Arukō' (1961) in the same contest as 'Winter'. So you can fight popchartfreak x
