November 17, 20177 yr Ooh this is more like it again xx Thanks Dan for another medal position (actually a lil surprised as I don't remember you liking this so much when I originally had it as a potential!) and Mattias/Dandy* for more good points :cheer: x And another 18 for Rolloland, looking like that should exceed 2 18s by quite a bit!
November 17, 20177 yr Thanks for all the votes so far, I will be back in a mo to join the rest of the reveal.
November 17, 20177 yr You are all missing some great tunes on plug atm! Some of the ones I voted for are quite low which is disappointing to see. :(
November 17, 20177 yr I see all you people who pointed Daddy Says No but not Pretty Girl #BanPupokBlocVotes2K17
November 17, 20177 yr Author 34 PERSEPHONIA Good evening / afternoon / day everyone, big thanks to Unovia for doing a great job of hosting such a gargantuan contest, it's been a pleasure competing alongside so many other nations including ones we have not seen for many an aeon x We seem to have the privilege of possibly being a contender to win this landmark contest so hopefully that is going to plan and our Life Sim is tearing up the scoreboard rn *. probably doing a Wealstarr. In any case here are the results of the Persephonian televote, starting as ever with a few songs that just missed out but are worthy of a mention ~ 00 (21st) D'yermak'er // Highasakite - Golden Ticket 00 (20th) Kluminican Republic // Smile - Butterfly 00 (19th) Sandebörg // Army Of Lovers - Carry My Urn To Ukraine 00 (18th) Joedonia // Kim Petras - Hills (feat. Baby E) 00 (17th) Cor Lupus // Written By Wolves - Timebombs & Hurricanes 00 (16th) Hendinia // Vanbot - Hold This Moment Inb4 overdramatic Cor Lupus reaction :kink: remember we gave you 13 last month ok xx Particular sadness for Hendinia who we did really want to vote for but they got kicked out at the last second by a sudden vote surge for a certain other song ;o Onto our actual points: 01 St. Burbia // Jarina De Marco - STFU 02 Jupiterdonia // Brooke Candy - Rubber Band Stacks 03 Bhangra // RÜFÜS - You Were Right 04 Trifoski // Chromeo - Jealous (I Ain't With It) 05 Fljótavík // Kölsch - þema fyrir fljótavík - St. Burbia's meltdown entry picks up one point, sadly we couldn't find room for the more politically relevant meltdown from Pupok which ended up 24th x Jupiterdonia were the recipients of that aforementioned last minute votes surge as they end up with two points after being a fair bit short of points from us in the semi-final, this song just suddenly clicked with the Persephonian public during the final and marks our first points given to Jupiterdonia, hooray. Bhangra had a very long wait to get their first points off us but a shorter wait to show up in our votes again, they take three points this time with 'Innerbloom Redux' x A boppy synthy funky jam from Trifoski claims four points marking a return to form for Trifoski after missing out in our votes last month, and as a proud member of #longsongbloc we just HAD to award some points to Fljótavík's epic megamix, about a quarter of a point per minute for five points in all. 06 Caerfyrddia // Jennie Abrahamson - Into Deep 07 Suedeonia // Baxter Dury - Miami (Parrot And Cocker Too Remix) 08 Taahino // Tonight Alive - Temple 09 N DNTN // Charlotte Gainsbourg - Deadly Valentine 10 Aeroche // TR/ST - Capitol - Caerfyrddia's grand return, reminiscent of many of their greatest entries from the times they were regular participants (and may we pray they stick around now as well??), comes in with six points making them the only one of the three long awaited returning nations in the final that we voted for; our last points to Caerfyrddia were all the way back in BJSC 55 for their sole winner. Ahead of them are a trio of songs that grew on us a lot over the course of the contest: seven points go to another #longsongbloc track from Suedeonia which has to be the biggest shock qualifier of the contest; eight points go to Taahino with a PVRIS-reminiscent rock anthem which maybe this time will finally get them a top 10??? in any case it's our second highest points ever to them; and nine points go to a slow burning beaut (and current UK iTunes top 200 megasmash) from N DNTN who impress us greatly a second month in a row. Persephonia have caught a lot of heat over the years from Aeroche for the fact we didn't vote for TR/ST's 'Sulk' despite it ostensibly being our kind of thing - but 'Sulk' has become a delayed hit in Persephonia and we can now properly atone with ten points to the even better 'Capitol'. 11 Skall // Kate Bush - Jig Of Life - Skall's veto-sliding entry from one of the all time legendary British artists is yet another one from them to get into the double figures for us (achieved by 6 of their last 7 qualifiers and MORALLY by several of their DNQs in the mean time), this time eleven points for this epic Celtic bop. We're enjoying these 80s Skall cuts the last couple of months. x 12 Espen // Prequell - Part XIV (feat. Rae Morris) - Our tip to be a possible dark horse winner this contest (we're surprised more people aren't hyping this up xx), Espen claim our twelve points with this track with incredibly irresistible instrumentation (and a good vocal contribution but who cares about that tbh #instrumentalbloc). Slap mi hole. 13 #00274E // Orelsan - Basique - The only other returning nation besides Caerfyrddia to make our votes (but in this case just returning from a one month ban), thirteen points go to #00274E, the French language is always a bit of a hit and miss one among Persephonian audiences but this one was a definite hit, tapping into our love for a good old slightly unusual foreign language rap track. It's like Stromae if Stromae was good. A great video for this as well and what sounds like very TOPICAL lyrics. Best #00274E track for quite some time. x 15 Jadakissnia // Francis And The Lights - See Her Out (That's Just Life) - Our second favourite Jadakissnia entry of the year but not quite giving them a second top scorer after MONOMOTION, they settle for fifteen points this time, kind of CHEATING as this song was already pretty special among Persephonian audiences after making a splash during a televised concert by The xx in which Francis was a support act, but hey it's good for the occasion xx A bit of an emotional synthtastic beaut, we were very worried we might have lost this in the semi-final (a moment of silence for our fallen faves Terra Avium, Flynnonda, Deandria, Ambienta and Cadelicia :cry:) but thank gawd that wasn't the case as this is an absolute essential. Another year and the Jadaphonia voting bloc in BJSC finals remains intact. Who gon stop us ~ 18 Rolloland // Anathema - Untouchable - So Jadakissnia failed to join Espen in the list of countries to get two top scores from us this year, but instead Rolloland do, as they take our full eighteen points (nearly one and a half points per minute #longsongbloc) for a second time after previously getting it in BJSC 94 with their debut entry 'Routine'. That song is a strong contender for our favourite entry of the entire year and we didn't expect Rolloland to top it but boy have they come close with this, an absolutely gorgeous epic from start to finish, this is what progressive rock is all about :wub: We'd probably have still given it our 18 if they had just sent part 1, but we enjoyed the experience of the full two-part track nonetheless. We hope to see this in at least the top 20. Thank you muchly x ~ Basic version: 18 Rolloland // Anathema - Untouchable 15 Jadakissnia // Francis And The Lights - See Her Out (That's Just Life) 13 #00274E // Orelsan - Basique 12 Espen // Prequell - Part XIV (feat.

November 17, 20177 yr Omg I literally can't at how bad I'm doing, I thought it was a strong pop sassy song :( Well done all! Pop Bloc pick and choose these days. Pop seems to do awful :/
November 17, 20177 yr My target of 3 18s has been reached. Thanks,Bre. Persephonia becomes the first country to give Rolloland 18 points twice. :cheer:
November 17, 20177 yr Oh I didn't realize (or forgot) that Untouchable was a two-part song! It was the latter half that really won me over so I'm glad both parts were included :wub: I was expecting Ralph and MKS to be top 10 contenders!

Congratulations to BuzzJack Song Contest for going 100 contests strong and here’s to 100 more. I’m so thankful that I got to share my story and my personal struggles on Dancing With The Stars, Val has been such an amazing partner, he’s cared for me well, and I wouldn’t have this dream any other way. What I’ve always wanted to do was to inspire people to never give up on their dreams and with hard work and determination, you can achieve anything against all odds. Also, a big thank you to Cor Lupus for selecting me to present; they’ve strived on perseverance and resilience and everyone is so thankful that it’s paid off throughout the year.

November 17, 20177 yr On the cusp of a century of points is pleasing at this stage. I mean, surpassing it.
November 17, 20177 yr Thank you Cody :3 x People really were sleeping on Gainsbourg based on this so far o;
