February 29, 20169 yr Wheres tim has he fainted from shock at leading! :lol: A few of my faves underperforming down t'lower end hoping for a last minute boost :cheer:
February 29, 20169 yr And in this brief moment the top 8 songs are the exact ones I predicted *.* (not in the same order though)
February 29, 20169 yr Author 43/62: SEYETANA VOTES Here's Seyetana's votes. And as I expected there's some really long commentary :heart: so I'll wait a bit longer before moving to the next set so you can read it all. Hello, and welcome to Séyetana’s votes for the BJSC 82 final. Before we start, I have to say that this has been my favourite contest for a good while, and that’s mainly down to the fantastic coincidence of so many people changing tack, entering things they don’t normally, and songs that are against the norm of BJSC. And what does well within it. And so I really hope that that’s reflected in the votes, I’ve enjoyed so much of the interesting diversity, even the stuff I haven’t managed to point, that I want this to continue month to month. It’s brilliant to have multiple reasons for liking songs. And I know so many of these will remain on rotation for a long while. (also a big thank you to anyone who’s voted Mirror Mirror, it’s not exactly a normal BJSC track but compared to this lot, even its weighted orchestral piano ripcurrents seem a bit ordinary so I will be very happy with what I get here, the year has started very well for me anyway as I have managed to beat 2 DNQs in the first 3 contests for the first time since 2012!) 18 Avalonia I had known for a while that the pairing of Two Steps From Hell and Merethe Soldtvedt was a match made in heaven, as they provided me last year some beautiful music that I challenge ANYONE on Earth to match in sheer beauty, in Stay, My Freedom, and my favourite track of last year, Compass. However, this track, with Thomas Bergersen doing it under his own name, had slipped through the net for me so I’m very glad you have pulled it out of the abyss, Regina (incidentally, my first points to you are LONG overdue so have all of them with my blessing). Unlike those three, which are more dreamy, given they’re on the Miracles album, Children Of The Sun leans towards the ‘film trailer’ vibe of Two Steps From Hell’s music, which means it has a great deal of energy in its verses as it builds up to that beautiful chorus. I know I tend to be known for being a rock enthusiast here, but what I’m most often here for in music is tracks that just sound entirely epic. In a sense without exaggeration or overembellishment of that word, this track entirely deserves that accolade. That is what we have here. Musical perfection. 15 Ethanola Where to even begin with this monster. There has never been a BJSC track like it. There will never be another BJSC track like it. That realisation alone has helped it move up from my semi votes to nearly taking my top spot from something I thought was unchallenged. But it’s also been that I really enjoy listening to this jam. Multiple times. With the whole 8 minutes. And that’s something I normally reserve for my power-metal behemoth tracks. There’s something so captivating about every little piece of Free Tibet, as the track moves from section to section with a grin-inducing bizarrity. I do want to however give a special mention to the bit about 3 minutes in, you all know the part, where the track briefly stops, on the edge of a precipice. That is the most powerful moment of silence I can recall in a track for a long while. Because you know exactly what is coming next. *.* Without a doubt, the hilight track of BJSC 82 in that it will be the one we talk about for months and years after. Very, very well done Ethan. 13 Jadakissnia For ‘wafflife’ (as I’m calling it), it’s the vocals that seem to be outside of normal human ability to reach that do this for me, as you get the little dives that lead into them, a beautiful cacophony of sound accentuated by the slightly slower parts. But all about those dives. Could listen to that all day, every day. I hope others are feeling the same, a master switch back into the Jadakissnia sound from last month, Jade. 12 Pupok Pupok are coming into their own. A Finnish pop ode to tequila? I was sold before I’d actually heard it. Fortunately this is also an above average Finnish pop track, which is to say it’s amazing. All the little ‘uxi’ inflections I love are apparent in her voice, it builds great with that instrumental… and if anyone here was expecting this to be outside my top 5, you’re a FOOL. Could listen all day. 11 New Lexico This is one track in the final that is over far too quickly. 3 minutes is not enough time for this fast-paced hurricane of words, sounding so brilliant as it does so. Every time I hear this it grows on me hugely. Very hugely. My outside (secret) tip for the win and it would be a fantastic track to finally give you one Lex. Though three of the tracks ahead of you I ALSO think could be good winners. Please, BJSC. Be good to me. 10 FARC I must congratulate you Jake, on turning my opinion of Mahan Moin from a two-bit Melodifestivalen singer with a slight ethnic tint to a woman who can produce this sort of beautiful music, the pleasing sound of Persian language combined with Swedish efficiency at producing a pop hit. Farc are incredibly good at finding diamonds in the rough and this is a brilliant example of this. 09 Terra Avium I always, always love a bit of soundtrack-style instrumentation, Plummet sounds like it was written with something epic in mind, to be played either during a high-octane scene on TV or more likely, in a gaming fight. Because it really does plummet you down the drop and keep your attention while doing so. 08 D'yermak'er Something off Carly Rae Jepsen’s album indeed Bal. You’ve brought a very strong pop song, I’m loving being able to support D’yermak’er again. Perhaps the most ‘normal’ song in my votes but I mean, for all that I do advocate diversity, sometimes a straight tune hits just the right buttons. 07 Flynnonda Well, it is about time some justice for Texas was done, still one of the BJSC tracks I play the most. Paris is nearly as good! All the little cool backing bits are wondrous and his voice really works with this. 06 Aeroche Aerock *.* I very much appreciate this change of direction. I adore Scottish rock voices, the country is pretty spot on with its musical acts. Will definitely have to check out more from this lot. 05 Deandria I forsee a new era for Deandria if this is the calibre of entry you can produce on a regular basis. Definitely prefer this to Sanctuary, it’s grindy and intriguing. The sort of pop I can get behind. 04 Cadelicia I very much enjoy this music. It is good bhangra music. So catchy and cultural, with a video where you can’t help but smile, the sort of music to leap out of bed to and immediately begin dancing to, I’m very glad you went through with it Oliver. 03 FSR Rontvia I can never ignore German pop. Especially something as catchy/weird as this. The little bits of ringing and the rhythmic pace of it, it’s quite wonderful. 02 Trifoski Brings back some good memories of seeing them live, there’s no mistaking that voice. I’m always pleased to be supporting Trifoski’s commitment to sending anthemic alt-pop. 01 Hushkanukia Your best entry since PVRIS, Cameron, lovely to see a quirky indie-pop tune , the sort of thing I’d enjoy being a minor hit for a while. Quite Echosmith actually. Commisserations go to Hendinia, for a dance track I expect to do well that I actually enjoy also (it’s the vocals on this one, they make it), a very cool Hispanic return from Ingermanlandia, a long but worth it bop from N DNTN, a great Gesaffelstein followup from FKA Pi, and probably the best track in the What Do You Mean mould I’ll ever hear, TARO Bellamia’s effort. Sorry you had to be getting no points from me. And the same to the next 15 or so of you.
