Welcome, players, to BJSC 88: New Beacon City.

You all have chosen your entries. Now your fates will be in the hands of the many. Everyone will select which songs the want to go through to the final. 68 start, only 20 from each semi will go through.

Just as a heads up, here are the auto-qualifiers who will vote in both semis.

@Cor_Lupus: Nhato f/Sasi - "Way Of Life"



@Peoples_Independent_State_of_Slutland: Ariel Pink - "Not Enough Violence"



We'll be waiting for you.

#AreYouAWatcherOrAPlayer

Rules:
1.) Votes will be formatted Eurovision style to me, Cody. Those of you who are not familiar with the format, it goes:

+12: *your favorite song of your semi*
+10:
+8:
+7:
+6:
+5:
+4:
+3:
+2:
+1: *your tenth favorite song of your semi*

2.) I think this goes without saying, but vote for your semi only (unless you're either me or Pav, we vote in both). Each semi has a different color, so you're either a purple or a green.
3.) Your name and entry will be bolded once you have voted.
4.) Non-voters will suffer a 33% deduction
5.) Snitches get stitches.

Deadline has been set to Sunday, September 11 at 23:59 BST.

Woop woop. (Pretty glad I am in semi 1 after all as it does kinda look like a friendlier semi for my song :ph34r: no expectations again anyway but I'm fairly confident I can at least qualify). Sending my prayers to Terra Avium, not that I've heard their song yet.

lol I'm doomed

Oh my f***ing god #00274E's song really is HOTTT *.* Have to throw that some hype, it sounds the right K-Pop song to actually smash.

Yasss opening semi two, y'all aren't ready x

The middle 8 of 'Lost' is spectacular for those of you who love dramatic climax's

You do like talking about middle 8s a lot don't you :heehee:

 

fuck me, Danaelanda sending not only Avicii but DEAR BOY too *.* I remember spending ages trying to track it down when it was only a live rip :lol: I'd be extremely surprised if it wasn't my 12/18 pointer this month :kink:

 

Recognising ARIZONA (cba to space it) ((is this a recycle or just an artist I've had as a potential before :thinking: )) (((not this particular song tho)))

 

Melanie C, Netsky, Project 46 (:wub: ) ((never heard that particular song tho)), Errands..., Nina Nesbitt (thought she'd be veto worthy tbh), MOWE (again? But yay :wub: ), BB Diamond (previously recycled), Relient K (ok I need to finally listen to more of stuff) and Vicetone yass :music:

 

So yup a lot of artists I recognise this month :lol:

"Shame On Me" would have probably been my 18 but "Dear Boy" looks to challenge.

 

A R I Z O N A isn't a recycle surprisingly, but I remember the Robin Schulz remix of "I Was Wrong" did its rounds when it went viral on Spotify.

 

Nina Nesbitt is probably not that veto worthy in the same way that The Naked And Famous weren't, a lot of her success seems to be more in 2012/2013.

 

Regarding Emma Carn, I'm actually surprised you didn't send her collab with BUNT., the Avicii-styled production seems right up your alley!

YouTube playlists for the semi-finals:

 

Semi-Final 1

- missing Ethanola's song which is not on YouTube unforch!

 

Semi-Final 2

- no missing songs on this one (yes, Buzzjack Mountain's track now has a music video :o), but if I've used the 'wrong' video for anyone please let me know! (I've used the unofficial radio edit Dan posted in his thread for 'Dear Boy' rather than the full 8 minute version ~)

Hope people like a bit of Dutch hip hop.

Can't wait to get into this one a good few I'm already familiar with this time! (South Danaelanda tho *_*)

 

Also Bré the song in that playlist of mine is a remix not the version I'm sending (although that's still very worthy of a listen for anyone who does like my entry)

Aeroche and Danaelanda *.*

Erm where are the AQs tho

excited to see how my entry goes down :dance:

 

surprised Mel C was allowed lmao but she's not exactly relevant anymore. (and to all the Avicii haters remember this is my 50th anniversary)

The life-changing event that on first listen Rihanna begged to release, Drake streamed non-stop for 20 minutes before being admitted to a mental institution, blew Dua Lupa's mind and left doughnut-licking Ariana Grande in mild shock.

 

Yay Beaverdonia wooo!!

Also

TheSnake f/Doctor Blind - "Wasting My Life"

I think we have our winner.

Don't think I can bring myself to point Avicii but 'Dear Boy's is a tuneeee :music:

Omg Yehesi hype. I love that track & almost sent it too <3

Aw I'm actually in semi 2, a typing error in the presentation last night said I was in semi 1 and I was kinda happy with that cos quite a few songs I liked upon quick first listen happened to be in that one, BUT I can spot several in semi 2 that I did like too when peeking the songs. Will get to listening in full now!

 

(still wish I had sent something else but I'll let it go. Vote for me xx)

 

((I'm not good at selling myself it seems))

I am gonna judge everyone voting for Buzzjack Mountain. I lnow some of y'all will ironically stan, but just know that I am judging
