October 12, 20168 yr I'm pretty sure I'll have Ethanola points and maybe Cadelicia and Aeroche but idk what else ~
October 12, 20168 yr (in fact the current top 3 has the same songs as Séyetana's top 3) I only noticed this when reading my votes for the second time! Go go go all of you Quintessa had an absolutely lovely entry (nothing to do with it being Japanese, those strings are to die for
October 12, 20168 yr Thanks Leonardo! <3 Hoping to somehow claw back into the top 20 by the end of this.
October 12, 20168 yr Author 22/39 / Fljótavík http://i.imgur.com/YW5Zcbe.png Fljótavík's entry certainly stands out, whether in a good (this one) or bad way there's no denying that - just about skirting past the veto despite being broadcast to the entire nation during the London 2012 Olympics opening ceremony where it soundtracked the spectacular Pandemonium section, it's the legendary English/Welsh electronic music heavyweights Underworld with the 17 minute epic 'And I Will Kiss', featuring knighted deaf Scottish percussionist (Dame) Evelyn Glennie and a vast ensemble of amateur drummers known as The Pandemonium Drummers. I quite like this song. Defying the norms of what you'd expect from a song this long in BJSC, it's currently inside the top 5 - can it stay afloat? :o 18 Skall // Fatima Yamaha - What's A Girl To Do 15 St. Burbia // Sleeping At Last - Hearing 13 Trifoski // Eats Everything - Big Discs 12 Terra Avium // Lights & Motion - The Spectacular Quiet 11 Alteria // Teenage Fanclub - Is This Music? 10 Persephonia // Jake Chudnow - Shona 09 Jadakissnia // Op:l bast*rds - Scorpius 08 Syndare // Beat Connection - Theme From Yours Truly 07 Federal Republic of Ashton // Ludovico Einaudi - Le Onde 06 Medhelnia // Mark Knight - Yebisah 05 Kluminican Republic // Hans Zimmer and John Powell - Oogway Ascends 04 Aeroche // AFX - PWSteal.Ldpinch.D 03 Ramrynia // Johan Liljedahl and Calle Rasmusson - The Grey People 02 Niceland // Arpadys - Monkey Star 01 Altyr Muunilinst // David Buckley - Hitting The Fan Wow that was tough to vote in, probably the best contest ever to be fair... although I fear my PM already has too many words to be eligible. http://i.imgur.com/WWvQfHO.png http://i.imgur.com/US8fbAZ.png http://i.imgur.com/U4r4SsF.png http://i.imgur.com/wJ4EcC8.png http://i.imgur.com/TVlwDuY.png 01 173 Terra Avium // Lights & Motion - The Spectacular Quiet 02 152 Avalonia // Thomas Bergersen - Empire Of Angels 03 119 Taahino // BanYa - Beethoven Virus (Nightcore) 04 112 St. Burbia // Sleeping At Last - Hearing 05 107 Persephonia // Jake Chudnow - Shona 06 100 Federal Republic of Ashton // Ludovico Einaudi - Le Onde 07 97 Fljótavík // Underworld - And I Will Kiss (feat.

This battle surely cannot be over though ;o Taahino remain in bronze, while St. Burbia return to the top 5 at #4 after picking up 15 points and crossing the 3 figure mark. Persephonia drop to 5th but there is still excitement in the arena as we also pass the 100 points mark. > Federal Republic of Ashton also reach 100 points and climb back to 6th, leapfrogging Fljótavík's own entry. Good news for Medhelnia who are finally inside the top 10, knocking Ethanola back out. > Ramrynia get a few more points - still on single figures, but pulling back ahead of Thelonia.
October 12, 20168 yr Ooh wonderful, glad to see that you were a fan Dandy! <3 My 18 is currently winning *.* please hang on.

October 12, 20168 yr Author 23/39 / St. Burbia http://i.imgur.com/wJ4EcC8.png St. Burbia's entry - incidentally apparently a potential for Fljótavík as well, and the two have voted one after the other - is the rather beautiful 'Hearing' from American alternative rock project (once a band, now just Ryan O'Neal as a solo artist) Sleeping At Last who are probably best known for their cover of 'I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)' and their UK top 100 hit 'I'll Keep You Safe'. Since going solo, Sleeping At Last have put out a series of short EPs under the collective title of Atlas, with this being from the 'Atlas: Senses' EP (no prizes for guessing the other song titles on there). Currently St. Burbia sit at number four - foot shooting time again? There's so many I could've voted for and wish to commiserate but the list will be too long, so I'll just say thanks for all the great discoveries and commiserations if you didn't get any St. Burbia votes because it was very close! +18 Fljótavík // Underworld - And I Will Kiss (feat.

Taahino are still 3rd and St. Burbia themselves drop to 5th, with the host nation exiting the top 5. > Aelandor also cross the 100 point mark sticking at 8th. Botanikka and Ethanola both re-enter the top 10 again, in place of Deandria and Medhelnia (who are straight back out after their long climb in).
October 12, 20168 yr Author 24/39 / Botanikka http://i.imgur.com/1KMDo4x.png Botanikka - or Bøtanikkä I should say now - have also gone down the 90s dance route as I keep wishing they would in the main contest again (but this'll do xx). A minor European hit in 1999 (#15 in Austria is all that Wikipedia tells me), it's 'Phuture Vibes' by German DJ Mellow Trax aka DJ Mellow D. It got all the way up to #2 earlier but has flitted in and out of the top 10 since, currently just in. 18. Taahino // BanYa - Beethoven Virus (Nightcore) 15. Land of DW // Sunbeam - Outside World 13.
