July 11, 20178 yr Now I'm That Bitch is a bop that never happened :snif:..much prefer it to Robots In Love, which is not bad by any means!!!
July 12, 20178 yr Author 18. Mdice - Dolla by Kesha Girls Aloud,Delta Goodrem and returning winners Royksopp all made the final which Kesha won by 20 points giving Mdice their sixth and final win. 6 out of 18 is a very good performance. Shakira's Loba was 2nd for Eledan while Mercy Mercy by Le Kid was 3rd for Numayania. If I search youtube for Dolla it seems to be the same as Tik Tok,I can't hear any difference. The contest was held before the single was released so I'm assuming it was the working title and it was changed to Tik Tok. Anyway,the song is dreadful with her using a silly accent and too much autotuning. This is easily the worst winner so far. 1.5 out of 10 iP6XpLQM2Cs
July 12, 20178 yr Author Sorry Kesha fans. :) I have no idea when I review a song how popular the song or singer is on here.
July 12, 20178 yr I hated I Kissed a Girl when I heard it in BJSC so was horrified when it took off in the UK. It is now still one of my least favourite Katy singles.
July 12, 20178 yr Oh Robots In Love is great, but Tik Tok is completely awful. Kesha needed some time to grow as an artist.
July 12, 20178 yr Robots In Love <3 Had no idea my upload of that has got almost 100,000 views on Youtube :o I felt like most of Mdice's winners were somewhat uninspired - Ke$ha not as much as some of the others as she genuinely was very underground at this point. Having said that, I voted for most of them, and the majority are fantastic pop songs (Brandy excepted, which is pedestrian). The Girl and the Robot is a killer track but it was the winner before it was even confirmed, I'd have liked to have seen Jody's Wind It win, which was a really inspired choice and a fantastic little song to boot, which I still hammer to this day. One of my favourite BJSC discoveries (iirc Kath showed it to me some time before the contest and I uploaded it to Youtube for her). Edited July 12, 20178 yr by gooddelta
July 12, 20178 yr Ke$ha is a bit hit and miss for me but I do like 'TiK ToK' in its way. 'Your Love Is My Drug' is probably her best still.

Mdiče // Brandy - Right Here (Departed) [bJSC 10] 18. Bokia // Katharine McPhee - Dangerous [bJSC 2] Easy to see why 'The Girl And The Robot' was raved about on here! I cannot resist its synthtastic slickness and it has aged very well. 'Shark In The Water' and 'Tik Tok' are both great songs that went on to be top 40 hits, Mdiče quickly filling up my top 5 spots here. My only grievance towards the latter is that it kept 'Bad Romance' from the top spot in the U.S. :kink: Ke$ha went on to have better songs but it was a solid starting point. 'Robots In Love' is the only winner that I haven't really got since I last posted in here, the production is quite nice but otherwise it is not really my thing.
July 13, 20178 yr Author 19. Kathaldazia - Silly Boy by Eva Simons Previous winners Beverley Knight and Brandy returned to the final while confusingly there were acts called Daisy and Daisy Dares You. The one that stands out for me is Cars by Gary Numan which was the first single I ever bought. Eva Simons obliterated the opposition,winning by 88 points. According to the stats page,this is still the highest percentage winning margin. Stay The Night by Alcazar was 2nd for Numayania and Dollhouse by Priscilla Renea finished 3rd for Kopecka. I like the driving rhythm going through this song and the big production but like the last song,there is a lot of autotune. I'm amazed it only got to no.149 in the UK. It has top 20 hit written all over it. She went on to have a no.1 single with will.i.am,one of my favourite no.1s of recent years. As for the hairstyle,it's like A Flock Of Seagulls x 10. 8.1 out of 10. 150ACWAjjPc Edited July 13, 20178 yr by King Rollo
July 13, 20178 yr I expected so much more from such a colossal winner! 'Silly Boy' is not bad at all, I think I just wanted it to be a bit more explosive than it actually is. Perhaps this was just a bit of its time and I would've enjoyed it more when it came out? 01. Herzebania // Agnes - Release Me [bJSC 13] 02. Mdiče // Röyksopp - The Girl And The Robot [bJSC 15] 03.

July 13, 20178 yr There was a thread in the chart forum back in the day to predict where 'Silly Boy' would chart and almost everyone said it'd be an easy #1, I'm still not quite sure what happened there! At least Eva did indeed go on to have a #1 eventually.

I think most of the hype was down to it being a rumoured Lady Gaga and Rihanna colaboration! I actually still have a huge soft spot for this. :lol: It's really good. I do wish, in hindsight, that Priscilla Renea won. 'Dollhouse' is incredible :wub: 01. Kingdom of Shadow // Margaret Berger - Will You Remember Me Tomorrow? [bJSC 9] 10 02.

Silly Boy is still such a pop stomper, I was one of those adamant it would be #1 everywhere forever :rofl: I think it got to like #159 in the end in the UK! Robots In Love is good enough but not a fave for me, still nice for it to be one of those inspired early BJSC winners as they are few and far between.
July 14, 20178 yr Author 20. Numayania - The Spell by Alphabeat The final line-up included Pixie Lott,The Saturdays and David Guetta but Danish pop group Alphabeat were victors by 15 points ahead of Music Everywhere by Anna Abreu (FSR Rontvia) and Do It Again by Cassie Davis (United States Of Jack). The Spell is a basic Europop song with nothing to remember about it. A lot of the lead vocal sounds out of tune to me. The singer looks like a younger version of Sharon Osbourne. It was their fourth top 20 hit. 6.4 out of 10. kwH0BxtbeEA
July 14, 20178 yr I absolutely adore Alphabeat's 'Fascination' and all its euphoric glory but they never quite recorded anything as top notch as that afterwards. But 'The Spell' isn't bad at all as it sneaks into the tail end of my top 10. It does contain a little bit of the Alphabeat charm. I just looked up the full results from this contest and I see that the top two artists in BJSC 13 - Agnes and The Sound of Arrows - both appear again here in the top 10 *.* (Good shout there with the Sharon Osbourne lookalike thing! :lol:) 01.

July 14, 20178 yr I quite liked Alphabeat in general and 'The Spell' is probably their best song for me. Also really liked 'Hole In My Heart'.
July 14, 20178 yr Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Alphabeat winning the starting point for the whole vetoing process? As winners were being too predictable and "cheap" (used just to get an easy win etc..)? This song is not bad as such, but not particularly fussed really, as Jade said. I LOVED their first era so much. But this just flails in comparison. 'Music Everywhere' though... *.* WHAT A BOP!! 01. Kingdom of Shadow // Margaret Berger - Will You Remember Me Tomorrow?
