August 26, 20186 yr Author Salutations from a slightly tipsy Jupiterdonian Supreme Leader! Votes this time for a strong and diverse contest are fittingly also diverse! We love diversity, right?! And so we give this time: +1 UVLand - Catherine McGrath +2 Beaverdonia - Lola Indigo +3 Rolloland - Delgados +4 Tartford - Florrie +5 Daehun - BoA +6 Deandria - Yoko Kanno +7 Thelonia - Fourward +8 Unovia - Badflower +9 Aeroche - Set Mo +10 Cadelicia - Kelli-Leigh +11 Altyr Muunilinst - CXLOE +12 Cowtermont - 1788-L & 4am and for our big three, all in one this month: +13 Holland-Oats - The Aston Shuffle +15 Trifoski - Iglooghost +18 St Burbia - Akasa Well done great song pickers extraordinaire! Akasa already a fave ;) eighteen • South Danaelanda • Fatum • Mowgli fifteen • Espen • Nouvelle Phénomène • Cruel Game (Vanzetti & Sacco Remix) thirteen • Deandria • Yoko Kanno • Cyberbird twelve • Trifoski • Iglooghost • Clear Tamei eleven • Thelonia • Fourward • Hope ten • Jadakissnia | Vendredi sur Mer | Larme à Gauche nine • Aeroche • Set Mo • White Dress (feat. Deutsch Duke) eight • The Aston Shuffle • Tear It Down seven • St. Burbia • Akasa • Thug Ranjha six • Harmonica • The Aces • Put It On The Line five • Aelandor • Mat Zo • The Enemy (feat. Sinéad) four • Land of DW • Purebeat Feat. Dikanda • Ederlezi three • Fljótavík • Danger • 11H30 two • Cadelicia • Black Saint • Don't Wreck My Holiday (feat. Kelli Leigh) one • Bhangra • Darling • Jimmy Maximums for St Burbia and South Danaelanda here - they’re really spread out so far this contest! St Burbia also crack the top 10, Trifoski join them in the upper tier too. We haven’t looked towards the foot for a while but it’s Séyetana who are still there for now :(
August 26, 20186 yr Author Urgh. Wait a sec while I edit in a transparent box to get rid of that top page advert shoddy alignment.
August 26, 20186 yr Yay, hoped I would receive some Bøtanikkä points after you reacted well to my song on plug.dj, Addy! Thanks for pushing me past 100 points :heart:
August 26, 20186 yr So halfway through it's looking like the 'obvious' winner is still the favourite indeed - great to see Espen and Cor Lupus still keeping up near the top though! What is happening to Unovia :( that was such a clear standout but atm it's not looking like it'll even be top 10 (and I was just starting to think it might have been the favourite to win after all... hopefully it'll pick up at least a bit). St. Burbia and Trifoski top 10 as well tho *.*
August 26, 20186 yr Tartford, Botanikka, and trickle points from a few countries as well, thank you :wub: YAY at Summericia finally top 3, would love to see them challenge for the win!!
August 26, 20186 yr Author +18 • Altyr Muunilinst • CXLOE • SHOW YOU +15 • Summericia • Cathedrals • Try To Fight +13 • Harmonica • The Aces • Put It On The Line +12 • Suedeonia • FUR • If You Know That I'm Lonely +11 • Utopia • Riton & Kah-Lo • Ginger +10 • FSR Rontvia • GoodLuck & Boris Smith • Be Yourself +09 • Azure • Tessa Violet • Crush +08 • New Lexico • Alice Merton • Lash Out +07 • Cor Lupus • Savoy • Let You Go +06 • Aelandor • Mat Zo • The Enemy (feat. Sinéad) +05 • Espen • Nouvelle Phénomène • Cruel Game (Vanzetti & Sacco Remix) +04 • Holland-Oats • The Aston Shuffle • Tear It Down +03 • Fljótavík • Danger • 11H30 +02 • Unovia • Badflower • Ghost +01 • Terra Avium • Korw • Luna's Moon Dance A good contest this time, though a clear bias towards the semi I wasn't in. Always nice for me to have more songs I'd happily give points to than I'm able, so unlucky to Persephonia, Jadakissnia and Harmonica. 01 - Suedonia - FUR 02 - Rolloland - The Delgados 03 - Summericia - Cathedrals 04 - Fljotavik - Danger 05 - Azure - Tessa Violet 06 - Aeroche - Set Mo 07 - Seyetana - Gwenno 08 - Aelandor - Mat Zo 09 - Trifoski - Igloohost 10 - Espen - Nouvelle Phénomène This makes the top 5 look remarkably similar to the votes I sent in the last contest, with the countries I ranked 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th & 9th in BJSC 105 sending great songs again 11 - Cowtermont - 1 7 8 8 12 - Deandria - Yoko Kanno 13 - FSR Rontvia - GoodLuck & Boris Smith 15 - Cor Lupus - Savoy 18 - Thelonia - Fourward Good point for Cor Lupus and Summericia means they halve the gap to the current leaders. Altyr suddenly leap back up in to the top 10 after a max from Florina - will they be able to stay there though as it only seems to take a big score to suddenly leap up a lot of places on the scoreboard. Florina submitted the beautiful MAY and it’s not doing quite as well as it deserved (obvious FLJ bias here) but at least they’ve managed to right the previous wrong when MAY DNQ’d.
August 26, 20186 yr TOP 10, it won't last but it's been quite some time. Takk to everyone who has given me points so far, lots of big scores too!
August 26, 20186 yr Omg only just noticed how low #00274E have dropped to :( them, Persephonia and Land of DW need to pick up!
August 26, 20186 yr Ooh yay thanks froot! I was expecting you to like this after you gave high points to LIONE! not me and RFC trading high points after not pointing each other for the longest time! :heart: Thanks, also glad to help riton!
August 26, 20186 yr Author Omg only just noticed how low #00274E have dropped to :( I know! Have you heard the album Jade? It's really good and I'm kicking myself for not sending something from it sooner - although I'd have probably ended up sending Unfolding.
August 26, 20186 yr Author Good evening Fljótavík. Many thanks for putting on this contest tonight. We have enjoyed our stay here in your lovely country and felt especially privileged to be invited on to the set go The Great Fljótavíkian Bake-Off. We were, though, a little disappointed to have missed Cherry Bakewell Week. Never mind, without further ado here are the results from the Suedeonian people. 18 # Terra Avium // Korw - Luna's Moon Dance 15 # Rolloland // The Delgados - No Danger 13 # South Danaelanda // Fatum - Mowgli 12 # Ojnoj // YONAKA - Fired Up 11 # Deandria // Yoko Kanno - Cyberbird 10 # Bøtanikkä // Kutiman - Mix Tel Aviv 9 # Persephonia // µ-Ziq - Hasty Boom Alert (Only a land of mathematicians could enter an act called µ-Ziq) 8 # Florina // MAY - Falling 7 # Espen // Nouvelle Phénomène - Cruel Game (Vanzetti & Sacco Remix) 6 # Holland-Oats // The Aston Shuffle - Tear It Down 5 # New Lexico // Alice Merton - Lash Out 4 # Aeroche // Set Mo - White Dress (feat.

We have thoroughly enjoyed BJSC 107, and without further ado here is the result of the Harmonican vote: 12 • Holland-Oats • The Aston Shuffle • Tear It Down 11 • Fljótavík • Danger • 11H30 10 • Aeroche • Set Mo • White Dress (feat.

FARC!!! 18 • FARC • Alex Mills • Stayed Too Long Thanks for all the discoveries this month, thanks to Fljotavik for hosting, and thanks to all who have supported our entry in this contest! Best of luck to all our faves, especially Daehun! An 18 for FARC sees them sit just one point shy of the 200 barrier. Summericia go clear in second now and seem to be emerging as their closest challengers… it’s still all pretty darn close between about 7th and 20th, anything could yet happen for any of those countries!
August 26, 20186 yr Thank you for the points Suedey *.* and no I have not checked out the album Dandy :o perhaps that's something I should get on.
August 26, 20186 yr Thanks Suede for rescuing me from the drought! (and I hadn't even noticed the mathematical connection somehow, despite having to deal with a lot of µ in my lectures :lol:)
August 26, 20186 yr Author Talking of µ-sic... have people not thought it through - I've see people spelling it u-sic on here and further afield, it literally makes no sense without the 'mew' sound!
August 26, 20186 yr Author Hey there Dandy :wub: thanks for being a tremendous host this month! The musical quality was insane to match (probably because barely any faves of mine DNQed this time) - I honestly wanted to give the entire top 7 or so an 18 :') but yeah here are my tear-themed votes because there are loads of different translations of my song, but the word they all have in common is 'tears' at least. You guys better not make the Jadakissnian people teary tonight by letting us flop, especially as our wounds are still healing from Reinvention II :kink: tear of despair COMMISERATIONS 16th Séyetana • Gwenno • Eus Keus? 17th Utopia • Riton & Kah-Lo • Ginger 18th Summericia • Cathedrals • Try To Fight 19th St. Burbia • Akasa • Thug Ranjha 20th Harmonica • The Aces • Put It On The Line tear of joy VOTES 01 South Danaelanda • Fatum • Mowgli 02 Cor Lupus • Savoy • Let You Go 03 Cowtermont • 1 7 8 8 - L & 4AM • Multiverse 04 Aelandor • Mat Zo • The Enemy (feat.

It feels crazy that it's been that long on both counts. But they've gone and trumped all the other contenders for my gold in what must be one of the strongest finals ever, so that's quite the comeback to our podium. They become the first country to receive four 18s from us, yay. The initial production is so calming and lovely, but then it switches up to more frantic breakcore-esque produx over this. Definitely 'the nature of dying' teas. The two marry together perfectly though and just leaves me wanting more every time, this 18 feels so right there are no tears left to cry now so let's end this on a happy note. ~basic version~ 18 Persephonia • µ-Ziq • Hasty Boom Alert 15 Bøtanikkä • Kutiman • Mix Tel Aviv 13 #00274E • Rival Consoles • Hidden 12 Unovia • Badflower • Ghost 11 Fljótavík • Danger • 11H30 10 Trifoski • Iglooghost • Clear Tamei 09 Deandria • Yoko Kanno • Cyberbird 08 Land of DW • Purebeat Feat.

St. Burbia • Akasa • Thug Ranjha Summericia • Cathedrals • Try To Fight (I liked some others beyond these, but felt these deserved a mention especially) Nothing for FARC here enables Espen to close in, although no single country appears to be able to score consistently enough yet to make the most of any points droughts for the leaders. Terra Avium bounce back into the top 10, so much for the fears of bottom 10! Deandria do just enough damage to themselves to push them out of the top tier to 11th while Jadakissnia just manage to cling on in the top 20. And what's that I spy, a Brade 18? Well I never!!!
August 26, 20186 yr Completely avoided any foot-shooting with my votes, whew! Thanks Florina for getting us over 100 :wub:
