June 6, 20169 yr Sadly this deep house banger happened to be a song that was already entered to BJSC and finished top 10 too :( :lol:
June 6, 20169 yr I've confirmed but even now I'm still doubting if I should send what I have and I'm worried the entry I have lined up for next month could be taken so maybe I'll switch to that??? Idk, usually I have such a stand out potential but I'm really not sure with these two this time :lol:
June 7, 20169 yr The first auto-veto if you can call it that was Jerome Price's 'Me Minus You'! What about naming and shaming the bitch?
June 7, 20169 yr Resubmitted! Someone has gone for the same artist, hope that doesn't happen again this time - I think I prefer this one! EDIT: as its my first entry, just curious do we find out if our entries have been approved?! Or do we wait for the semi finals to find out?! TIA Edited June 7, 20169 yr by Bradders
June 7, 20169 yr Confirmed. Pophoe mode activated. Also continuing the theme (if you can call it that lolz) of sending songs that are partly in English + partly in another language. Le français being the other language this time. Also, funnily enough, a different artist with the same name has been entered before lol
June 7, 20169 yr What about naming and shaming the bitch? I don't know who sent it as the countries are hidden, but from the posts in here I gather it was Mikey! Resubmitted! Someone has gone for the same artist, hope that doesn't happen again this time - I think I prefer this one! EDIT: as its my first entry, just curious do we find out if our entries have been approved?! Or do we wait for the semi finals to find out?! TIA We say that none of the entries are officially approved until the semi-finals are posted in case a song picks up more veto points as the week progresses, so therefore it gives us the leeway to veto songs later in the confirmation week rather than signing some entries off and then regretting one if something changes after doing so. Hope that makes sense! :D
June 7, 20169 yr Thanks for your help :) fingers crossed everything is OK this time! EDIT: Just reconfirmed, again! Change of mind - same band, different track! Edited June 7, 20169 yr by Bradders
June 7, 20169 yr In honour of the UK crashing out of the EU, ready to crash & burn, I decided I too would go bigtime crash n burn in BJSC with a German language choral version of a song dedicated to Elizabeth II in post-war optimism. How appropriate. Another Buzzjack first! :lol: (Unless I find something brilliant tomorrow....)
June 7, 20169 yr Actually I think I'll change my entry, I'll edit the Google form, if that's ok? I'll save the other as a future potential, or maybe enter it into a different contest. Edited June 7, 20169 yr by Jacob Alan
June 7, 20169 yr First batch of vetoes were as follows: Elohim - Sensations 29 Featured on Line of Best Fit, Indie Shuffle, Hillydilly, All Things Go, Stereogum, Four Oh Five and various other minor blogs. Blogs are still appearing on page 10 so HIGH BLOG COVERAGE 12 Mentioned in a Popjustice article 7 Artist finished 26th in BJSC 76 and DNQed in BJSC 83 (both within past 30 contests) 3 + 7 Nicole Millar - Tremble 26 Featured on Josepvinaixa and several minor blogs Finished 23rd in BJSC 56 and 3rd in BJSC 63 both as a featured artist (both within past 30 contests) 12 + 7 Artist has peaked at #24 (featured on Peking Duk's High) within the past 24 months in Australia (peaked at #5 before that window) 7 Highasakite - Golden Ticket 20 Featured on Indie Shuffle, Faded, Scandipop, Josepvinaixa, Popjustice (Part of New Music Fridays article) and several other minor blogs 7 + 3 Artist's other single charted top 40 in Norway earlier this year and new album charted at #1 in Norway, top 25 in Australia 7 Artist DNQed in BJSC 59 3 Double artist confirmation Astrid S - Atic 28 Artist finished 12th in BJSC 74 and 14th (as featured artist) in BJSC 82 (both within past 30 contests) 7 + 7 Artist has charted top 10/20 with various songs in Norway and Sweden in past 24 months (but not this song) 7 The newly-released EP this song features on is reviewed on Scandipop 7 EP is on various blogs but song itself doesn't have its own articles We agreed that a couple of the auto-vetoes were a bit harsh but suffered from being unfortunate quirks of the current system, but we have to be consistent each time unfortunately.
June 7, 20169 yr ny2 I have a good backup so that's ok I guess. Looks like no one gets them now Bradders :snif: *everyone listen to ' ' it'd make for SUCH a good discovery, I promise you*
June 7, 20169 yr I've had a passing interest in Highasakite since the wonderful Since Last Wednesday, Golden Ticket would have done well (and is quite the sort of early pop D'yermak'er I like) but yeah, double trifecta puts paid to that one I think. The autovetoes, well, the same artists popping up so quickly in recent contests sorted most of those.
June 7, 20169 yr Okay went with a wistful remix :P The song title perfectly describes any chance I have of qualifying, but it's an amazing song.
