Welcome Lotunia from all of us here in Aesthetica! Can't wait to see what you bring to the contest :)

Welcome from Persephonia :jump: looking forward to your main contest debut.

Greetings from Dobago!

Greetings from Azure :D

Massive welcome from Hushkanukia!

Greetings from Kylienips, it's a bjsc country in case you didn't know :heehee:

 

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone :heart:!

 

 

Hello from South Danaelanda! Our country split from civil war so it's just the South that participate now.

:hi:

Ohh :o , I did not know that war could happen in this contest (good to know though)

Hoping you do better here than in the spin-offs! It's pretty much a pattern :P Greetings from Cor Lupus!

:hi:

Hehe, Yeah I hope I can at least manage to get out of the bottom 3 :lol:

Omfg I thought Lottie had changed from ha ikonek Pupok!!!

 

Welcome, welcome, from Beaverdoniaimpaktnation!

welcome from the "ikonek" pupok! :o

:lol:

Thanks for the welcome both of you!

I had to check out some of entries from Pupok, and I get why you are considered "Ikonek". Jennifer Rostock with "Schlaflos" and Vesala with "Tequila" are really, really good :wub:

 

Don't forget, most people submit a novelty song for their first BJSC entry!

Hmm... I am afraid I already have submitted a song for this contest. I might submit a novelity song later on though ^_^

 

Welcome Lotunia from Jadakissnia :hi: you have already shown promise to be standout with your spinoff entries, so I look forward to your main contest debut!

 

Pretty flag. :wub:

 

Greetings from Aelandor! Your spin off entries have both been really sweet (I was so close to pointing your 80s entry as well) so I'm really looking forward to your main contest entry, also you appear to have great taste when it comes to voting too- thanks for all the points in the spin offs! :magic:

:hi:

Thanks for the welcome both of you!

:wub: at the Lotunian flag getting recognition, took me so long time to edit in.

I am a bit unsure if I am going to stand out this time genre wise, my entry is however partly in sámi, so maybe that will help me stand out a bit ^_^ (was originally going to send RAYE with "Shhh", but it had apparently already won once :lol: )

 

Yeah, Berlin (with Belinda Carlisle and Pimpinela) really stood out to me in the 80s edition :wub:

Welcome from Flynnonda! Looking forward to your main contest debut!

Japan vs. South Korea: Yasuharu Takanashi - Despair

 

 

 

About Yasuharu Takanashi and "Despair"

Born April 13, 1963 (age 54)

Yasuharu Takanashi is a Japanese composer for both video games and anime series. He has composed for Hell Girl, Sailor Moon Crystal and of course, Naruto Shippuden, which "Despair" is taken from.

"Despair" is also known in the fandom as Sasori's theme song. Personally, I think it fits. Sasori had one of the saddest backgrounds in Naruto Shippuden, at least when it comes to the antagonists of the series (somehow they managed to give some of the protagonists even sadder backgrounds). It is crazy how much loneliness, despair, and absence of love changed his character physically and mentally, which I think the song manages to express in heartbreaking way. Even though it might be a bit on the short side, it still is a little piece of art.

BJSC 95: Ágy - Arvedávgi (Rainbow)

Her color is dark grey
"This is who I am", she says
"I've had it all,
Built up a wall - for protection.
Colors are hard to find
I've almost given up
This is my one last call to the sky"

Edited May 12, 20178 yr by NocheLuna

I think it's criminal how this hasn't received any hype yet, that instrumental took me off guard and is reminding me of Merely really strongly, an excellent debut entry!

Thanks for the hype! It's good to know that someone likes it ^_^

Fully expecting to not qualify for the final, but that is fine. I really enjoyed taking part in the contest so that totally makes up for whatever is going to happen in the results thread ^_^

Lotunia qualified for the final :cheer:

 

~Yay

I was obviously not expecting to qualify, so this is a really nice surprise ^_^

Again, huge thanks to everyone that voted for Ágy in the second semifinal :wub:

 

To celebrate here is a live version of "Árvedagi (Rainbow)"

I am very happy with a 17th place, so thanks for the points everyone!

Also, I am a bit shocked that I actually managed to get into the top 20 :o (considering that I barely managed to qualify)

Congrats on a top 20 debut NocheLuna! :cheer: I didn't quite see the success of this entry coming but I'm of course very pleased for you, as it was a gorgeous song that grew on me further in the final! Looking forward to your next entry.

 

Also, hooray for the mutual love, the 13 points from you were appreciated. <3

Yay, I am glad that the song grew on you! (which seemed to be the case for some other people)

"Waves" was excellent, very happy for that discovery. Looking forward to your next entry ^_^

Lizzo - Good As Hell

You know you a star, you can touch the sky
I know that it's hard but you have to try
If you need advice, let me simplify

If he don't love you anymore
Just walk your fine ass out the door

I do my hair toss
Check my nails
Baby how you feelin'?
Feeling good as hell

BJSC 96: Lola Marsh - Wishing Girl
Hey there, let's get away
I sure need a lazy summer day
But oh dear, we've gotta stay
And finish all that we needed to say

Now darling if you fall
I'll be there to hold you
'Cause I gave you my soul
Long time ago, long time ago

'Cause you, you are my lonely star
And I'm, I'm your wishing girl
'Cause you, you are my lonely star
And I'm, I'm your wishing girl

Hi - I just wanted to drop by and say thank you for introducing me to Lola Marsh. I got the album after you entered Wishing Girl and I really love it, perfect to relax to in Summer. :wub:

*A bit late*

I'm happy to see that you like Lola Marsh that much Dandy :wub: ! (Also, thanks for the 18 Points, very much appreciated)

 

BJSC 97: Gery-Nikol - I'm The Queen

 

Don't you know, I'm the queen, да, да, да, да!

 

 

So, I guess this song might be seen as a bit of a trainwreck :P Well, Gery-Nikol (currently 18 years old) rose to fame in 2014 when she as part of the group Sweet 16 participated in the Bulgarian version of X Factor. After her time on X Factor she quickly began pursuing a solo career. She has five singles under her belt, with one of them peaking at #1 on the Bulgarian chart. "I'm The Queen" is her third single and is one of two songs that also has an English version.

BJSC 98: Crywolf - The Hunger In Your Haunt

 

I felt love in a different place and I

Felt you move in a different way and

All my life's been a whisper without you

 

I've been alone in a million places and

I've seen God in some dirty faces and

All that I could think about was you.

 

BJSC 99: Loboda - Tvoi Glaza

Can she save Lotunia from not qualifying?
