Semi 2 is gonna have to be Thursday as I'm busy next Wednesday, Tuesday and Friday :lol:
that Greenfroze is absolutely 'terrible' sorry Freeze :lol: Also not sure I fancy listening to the album it comes from called 'Anus'.
Where are all the long songs that people have been talking about? Fljotavik's song is 20 minutes long and I see mine is the 2nd longest at just under 12 minutes. Only five other songs are more than 6 minutes long.

Yes but you + fljotavik in the same semi plus one of the six minute ones makes up nearly 40 minutes of a listen through before we've even got to the other 40 songs to listen to :lol:

 

6 minutes is more than long enough

I'm literally just curious - is Triangoaldonia the new name for Triangledonia or a typo (which is fair enough)? Does it represent Spadam's goal of doing well in BJSC 100 or smth haha.

yeah it's just for this contest lmao

haha ok cool, well I hope you achieve your goal (without having heard your song iirc). I was just thinking the other day that I've achieved all my main little "goals" for BJSC hah - sent a winner, sent an Estonian artist, sent trance, sent drum and bass (in this contest), sent a non-English song ('Álmatlan' had some English though), sent an instrumental (several if you count 'Hologram' which had some faint vocals and 'Falcons' which only had some "ooh-aah's").

 

There's nothing left to achieve. :nocheer: Is this the end for Deandria? :unsure:

You haven't sent funky house yet! That should be a goal!

 

Also I hope its not the end for Deandra after we said goodbye to two nations already this contest (well really only 1 as poor Mergina wasn't even able to get started).

I don't even have a goal lol I just felt like changing it for the 100

 

Or you could say I achieved the goal of sending LarsM at least once every year :kink:

can we have a rule against sending mega mixes in the future though? just takes the piss a lil bit sending a 20 min entry that is multiple songs (though I liked Kölsch's previous two entries, yet to properly hear this one)
I didn't know a megamix was sent :mellow: (voting on the weekend probs) but agreed.

When i think megamixes, I think about the ones that were apparently big in the early 90s in the UK charts , according to the OCC there was a Grease one reached #3 in 1990, A Technotronic one also that year (#6), a Boney M Megamix reached #7 in 1992 and a few other ones making top 40.

I agree a bit, I think it's a bit Hitlerish to have a length rule but I'm just thinking plug really sparks my interest in the contest more as it's fun to listen to the songs together, but when 3 songs take up 40 minutes of a semi, it makes them super long and less people will stay for the whole thing as it's gonna end late :drama: Plus some people who are really busy that week might only be able to fit one listen in and thwt makes it harder when songs that fill like 4 or 5 time slots can get entered...

 

I don't mind if they build to justify the length (Innberloom is a good example of this) but i cba when they are boring af for like 10 minutes and go nowhere :lol: I just don't see the point.

okay this would have done pretty well

 

 

I was convinced it’d get vetoed. Next month maybe.

Tbh I don't really see this kind of thing becoming much of a trend, I'm sure Dandy has just sent this because it is a milestone contest, can't imagine there are many people seeing this and thinking they want to hop on board sending gigantic megamixes to future contests. It is a bit awkward having two songs above ten minutes in a single semi-final this time, especially as they are the largest semi-finals to date, but most likely this will just be a slight inconvenience that people have to put up with for this particular contest and after this we'll be back to the usual business of only having the very occasional excessively long song. While I get the concern about super long songs - especially ones which don't vary much, to invoke 'Mutter' once more as much as I personally enjoyed that song - I'd really hate for any actual restrictions to be placed on them (well maybe something like 'no songs over 20 minutes' would be reasonable I guess lmao), the 11+ minute song I sent this year is my favourite of my own entries for a while and it was really rewarding seeing so unexpectedly many people getting into it (and actually surprisingly few people complaining about its excessive length, since it was the only song in that contest that was near that long).
