April 12, 20205 yr For anyone who may want to read it this was my commentary xx Allo allo from Persephonia, thanks to Hendinia for being fantastic hosts this month, we should really have let you win again sooner x Here are the results of our televote. The top 2 of our votes may as well have been decided ahead of time, being an all-time fave and a song that was in our top 200 of 2019, but something could still have caught... at least the latter. Jadakissnia were really never going to not get our 18, a late night Radio 1 classic, and returning the favour of them giving us 18 for our own anniversary entry two months back! This makes it 19 out of 50 Jadakissnia entries to make our medal positions in the final (6 18s, 7 15s and 6 13s). Séyetana manage to hang onto the 15 points that we expected we'd probably give them from the start with their insane horrorcore rap song which was already a hit on Persephonian shores last year. This is their 7th time in our medal positions, comprising 2 golds, 4 silvers and 1 bronze, and the second time they've got our 15 recently following 8kids in BJSC 117. The highest placed discovery this contest goes to Bøtanikkä who beat a competitive field to grab our 13 points with a gorgeous bit of throwback new age music, surprisingly only the 5th time they've placed in our top 3 (they ranked 2nd for us only once, with TĀLĀ in BJSC 69, this being their fourth time getting our bronze medal, most recently before this given to Sagi Abitbul back in BJSC 89). Outside the top 3, our 11 points to Vülkyria matches the highest we've ever given them (11 previously going to Grandtheft in BJSC 78, though the highest they've ranked for us was 2nd place (10 points at the time) with Lushington's 'Settle Down' in BJSC 63), surprisingly also only the 6th time we've voted for them at all but that includes 2 times this year already so they're on a hot streak. Taahino are the only other anniversary nation to get points from us, with 7 points going to their Paramore classique (probably deserved more but there were a lot of really great discoveries this month that I decided to boost ahead of this one). It has only been 9 contests since we last voted for Altyr Muunilinst but still feels like a rarity to see them getting 6 points from us, especially after the atrocity they sent last month. And Sandénia manage to pick up one point with the superior twink pop song of the month, marking our first points to Sandénia since their comeback and only the second time ever after GRADES got 8 points from us in BJSC 70. Humuhumunukunukuapua'a bloc voting? x (nah, these votes were decided before Teams started xx) Our full votes: 18 Jadakissnia // Aphex Twin - Ageispolis 15 Séyetana // clipping. - Blood Of The Fang 13 Bøtanikkä // Adiemus - Adiemus 12 Terra Avium // Fractal Dreamers - Azure Of The Horizon 11 Vülkyria // Luís Peixoto - Souls Of The Other World 10 Republic of Adonia // ayumi hamasaki - M (Above & Beyond Remix) 9 Aelandor // LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER - Desperado Vespa 8 Rolloland // MODERNS - Jarre 7 Taahino // Paramore - Monster 6 Altyr Muunilinst // Austra - Anywayz 5 Fljótavík // DMA'S - Life Is A Game Of Changing (Orbital Remix) 4 D'yermak'er // NIMMO - Do I Have To Learn It? 3 FSR Rontvia // Way Out West - Mindcircus (feat. Tricia Lee Kelshall) 2 Tartford // E'voke - Runaway (Biff 'N' Memphis Mix) 1 Sandénia // Isaac Dunbar - makeup drawer With apologies to... rather a long list of songs that also deserved points (the most in a while for us!) 16th Ojnoj // KEiiNO - Black Leather (feat. Charlotte Qamaniq) 17th Cor Lupus // The Naked And Famous - Bury Us 18th United States of Jack // Betty Who - The One 19th Daehun // Dubdogz and Bhaskar - Infinity 20th Jayrusalem // The Perfect Kiss - Indebted To You 21st Singerpurear // Jackson Wang - 100 Ways 22nd Unovia // LIZ - Lottery (feat. Aja) KEiiNO really grew on me, shame I couldn't quite have fit it in as it would have been a rarity to have such an overtly trashy pop song in my votes for once, but alas this was a really strong final x Hope you have all been treating 070 Shake as she deserves! :cheer:
April 12, 20205 yr Ooh thank you so much Jacob :wub: a double-figure point swap yay! Someone give me 1 measly point so I can get back in the top 30 please x
April 12, 20205 yr Thank you Jacob and Lindsey! Over 200 points yay <3 Very pleased that this entry has managed to cross over to a decent handful of the more pop-leaning nations who don't vote for us very often!
April 12, 20205 yr Omg yes, a second 18 and that was just what I needed to stay steady in the top 10, thank you Jacob :wub: Feel like that may be it for my big pointers unless I'm forgetting someone but hope I can stay reasonably steady going on!
April 12, 20205 yr Ah and since I've been revealed! :o My commentary: Hi Rob! Votes here: ♢ +18 Terra Avium: Fractal Dreamers - Azure Of The Horizon Epic instrumental tune. THE STRINGS. AND COOL PRODUCTION 2 MINS IN. Very Terra Avium, we love Terra Avium. ♢ +15 Rolloland: MODERNS - Jarre This has such a great sound. Reminds me a bit of CHVRCHES, which is always a good thing. The video as well, amazing. ♢ +13 Jadakissnia: Aphex Twin - Ageispolis I really like Aphex Twin but not heard all that much of his stuff besides the biggest ones, the time I saw him do a DJ set aside. I love the different direction on this one, it's so chill, can kind of lose myself listening to it. ♢ +12 Tartford: E'voke - Runaway (Biff 'N' Memphis Mix) The mood of this song is too perfect. Makes me feel 10x better just listening. x ♢ +11 Vülkyria: Luís Peixoto - Souls Of The Other World The progression in this is so cool. The mix of traditional instruments and production = sublime. ♢ +10 Séyetana: clipping. - Blood Of The Fang Childish Gambino comparissons of course but how is this so good? Not even usually my scene but what a song. These bars. ♢ +09 Trifoski: Au5 & Nytrix - Always In A Nightmare The dubstep is a bit much but.... still yes? Wonderful song and it gives off nostalgia for 2011 despite being new. x ♢ +08 FSR Rontvia: Way Out West - Mindcircus (feat. Tricia Lee Kelshall) Lovely shimmery sound, I love shimmer. Excellent drum beat and mixing. Very beautiful atmospheric song. ♢ +07 Bøtanikkä: Adiemus - Adiemus Love this, very world film music in the best way. Those harmonies. :heart: ♢ +06 Cor Lupus: The Naked And Famous - Bury Us A good solid tune from TNAF, not heard it before the contest (somehow x) and it sounds great. ♢ +05 Hushkanukia: Gabrielle Aplin - Waking Up Slow Lovely pop banger. ♢ +04 Persephonia: 070 Shake - Guilty Conscience Wasn't so sure at first, some of the instrumental didn't seem to fit as well as others but the lil synthwavy flicks, lovely drum production and vocal production got me. Such an anthem. ♢ +03 Danæviia: Shapov - Chasing Shadows (feat. Cal) Okay the production on this is just rly good. Very much a grower tho. ♢ +02 Fljótavík: DMA'S - Life Is A Game Of Changing (Orbital Remix) Very nice drumz. Don't know the original but it sounds like a great remix- has a very 90s production sort of sound, kinda nostalgic. ♢ +01 Daehun: Dubdogz & Bhaskar - Infinity A bit of an addictive beat tbh. The BASS tho. x Commiserations: ♢ +00 Taahino: Paramore - Monster Just have to note- cause I have to explain not pointing this absolute tune of life- that this is +18 worthy and I hope it does well but I've known it for 9 years... so really struggled about pointing it. This isn't "from BJSC" to me, it's a song I know and love anyway. All that said will miss Taahino in the contest if this really is the last entry. Was thinking about going pop punk soon as well :( ♢ +00 Kylienips: Louis The Child & Foster The People - Every Color I love the sound, liked it more at first (can start to feel a bit samey at the 2 min mark) but still a great song with great atmosphere. x ♢ +00 Utopia: Zuzu - Skin And Bone Happened to check out a couple other of her songs and a bit more of a fan of "Get Off" (sounded kind of familiar as well??) still a tune tho, sorry it missed out. ♢ +00 Singerpurear: Jackson Wang - 100 Ways I liked this more than I wanted to. Very clean production, just fell out of my votes last min ahhh but I really did enjoy it. ♢ +00 Republic of Adonia: Ayumi Hamasaki - M (Above & Beyond Remix) Love the hosting, hyped for the reveal. :o Cheers, Jacob.
