Amazing for Sheppard, they DNQ'd for me but I get that A Grade Playa was an acquired taste (even though it was my second favourite songs of the 10s, only behind Euphoria *.*) whereas Die Young is way more commercial and anthemic. It never struck me as a BJSC entry but it makes so much sense thinking about it.

 

One wonders if we are now due a return of the other infamous FSR Rontvia DNQ that we are never allowed to forget about :thinking: :kink:

Thanks Pete for the 15 :cheer:

NUMAYANIA

 

~Resultâ Dəs Voutîngs Numayanagasq~

 

Hello Aeroche and all of the countries participating, voting and entering tonight, this is Yan Hola Sî, supervisor of the Numayanian broadcast and national broadcast of BJSC in Numayania! You put on an amazing show Aeroche, and it’s great to be back in the final of this wonderful contest where we belong ;) So without further ado, let us announce our first twelve votes:

 

12 ○ Thelonia ○ Ross Quinn - Away With Me

11 ○ Utopia ○ Ejeca - Ekstac

10 ○ FARC ○ TTRRUUCES - The Disco

09 ○ Terra Avium ○ LCD Soundsystem - Seconds

08 ○ Bøtanikkä ○ Chilli - Tic, Tic Tac (feat. Carrapicho)

07 ○ Bhangra ○ Sheppard - Die Young

06 ○ Fljótavík ○ Working Men's Club - Valleys

05 ○ Dobago ○ Farhad Mahdavi & Tricia McTeague - You Can Run

04 ○ Greenfroze ○ Toy-Box - Tarzan & Jane

03 ○ FSR Rontvia ○ Ndlovu Youth Choir - We Will Rise

02 ○ Kluminican Republic ○ Peking Duk - Feels Like

01 ○ Persephonia ○ Fatoumata Diawara - Nterini

 

And now we will announce our top 3:

We in Numayania are suckers for a Scandipop banger, we were well known for them back in the day :kink: Despite Wiktoria’s numerous Melodifestivalen appearances this is her first song to achieve airplay success in Numayania but it’s going to be a big one! 13 points goes to…

 

13 ○ The Actual Republic of Bellamia ○ Bastiaan & jens - Someone Else (feat. Wiktoria)

 

Something we are even more of a sucker though is the eighties sound, especially in the form of synthwave. As we are also children of the sea, we found our second placed track nautical but very nice indeed! Fiftîn poins son t’atribiuê tə:

 

15 ○ Cor Lupus ○ Jessie Frye - Ocean

 

So who wins our top points? Well for the first time ever [citation needed] ] it’s a song that not only is an instrumental, but was a substantial hit in Numayania at the time of its release in 2018. But with it being such a summer banger, and a vocal cover version about to be released as Numayanian superstar Pardo’s next single, the top marks couldn’t go anywhere else. The big 18 therefore goes to……

 

18 ○ Skall ○ Krystal Klear - Neutron Dance

 

Apologies in no particular order go to Aeroche, Caerfyrddia, Danæviia Flynnonda, Jupiterdonia, Ojnoj, Vülkyria and Wholune!

 

Best of luck to everybody and see you next time! Sanqə-tê

One wonders if we are now due a return of the other infamous FSR Rontvia DNQ that we are never allowed to forget about :thinking: :kink:

 

I'm sure I can rustle up some tenuous link about South African entries and flopping...

tune tho

Fatoumata Diawara not likely Pete's pick for Mali in his search for songs from every country then :nocheer: :kink:

I really wanted to like it! :( It wasn't a bad song and ended up just outside my Top 25, in another contest it might have made it in but it just wasn't instant enough for me.

And I just kicked myself out of the top 20. Go fig.

Oh now THIS is more like it :cheeseblock:

Yessss Thank you Tom for the 15! :wub: :wub: also thanks to Jack for some more points!

Lovely to see some points coming in now, thanks so much St. Burbia for a second 18 <3

 

Amazing for Sheppard, they DNQ'd for me but I get that A Grade Playa was an acquired taste (even though it was my second favourite songs of the 10s, only behind Euphoria *.*) whereas Die Young is way more commercial and anthemic. It never struck me as a BJSC entry but it makes so much sense thinking about it.

It didn't strike me as one when I first heard it either, but then my form over the past five years hasn't been brilliant, so maybe I'm finally re-learning!

Yessss Thank you Tom for the 15! :wub: :wub: also thanks to Jack for some more points!

 

No worries :wub: Fantastic song, really need to check out the album :D

Thank you Tom! This Numayania comeback producing a few more points swaps between us than may have been expected xx

 

I really wanted to like it! :( It wasn't a bad song and ended up just outside my Top 25, in another contest it might have made it in but it just wasn't instant enough for me.

 

:lol: Fair ofc, I thought this one might have been slightly more likely than my usual entries to appeal to you but I really should never have any expectations of doing too well in the Nicelandic vote regardless :kink:

tune tho

 

Perhaps unpopular opinion but A Grade Playa >> Die Young - still both good songs though!

SUMMERICIA

 

Summericia are pleased to announce their final votes for BJSC 127, we'd like to thank Aeroche for once again being truly excellent hosts. The Semi wasn't up to a particularly high standards compared to other ones this year for us but Oh my gosh this final more than made up for it by being an absolute bloodbath.. What a super strong selection of songs this was and there were lots of countries that don't regularly get big or many points from us that really brought it this month as well <3

 

Our votes are as follows...

 

+18 Greenfroze ○ Toy-Box - Tarzan & Jane (I kinda rushed my semi votes due to how late I left I left to vote so some songs were a bit lower than I should have put them and so this was my 3 pointer in the semi :') ) This was an infectious slice of cheesy pop and very Aqua-esque whom I have been listening to very recently and was a massive fan of so fab stuff with this.!

+15 Jupiterdonia ○ MishCatt - Goofy

+13 Bhangra ○ Sheppard - Die Young

+12 Skall ○ Krystal Klear - Neutron Dance

+11 Bøtanikkä ○ Chilli - Tic, Tic Tac (feat. Carrapicho)

+10 Land of DW ○ Harris & Ford & FiNCH ASOZiAL - Nachbarn

+09 Cor Lupus ○ Jessie Frye - Ocean

+08 Fljótavík ○ Working Men's Club - Valleys

+07 Republic of Adonia ○ Ayesha Erotica - Vacation Bible School

+06 Danæviia ○ BT & Emma Hewitt - No Warning Lights

+05 Dobago ○ Farhad Mahdavi & Tricia McTeague - You Can Run

+04 Singerpurear ○ Yello - Of Course I'm Lying

+03 Terra Avium ○ LCD Soundsystem - Seconds

+02 FARC ○ TTRRUUCES - The Disco

+01 Aelandor ○ Thomas James White - Beyond You

 

Commiserations in order: (also there were others worthy of points too but I've capped it at 10 because it would be almost everything lol)

 

16th St. Burbia ○ Astræa - Tonight I Run

17th Thelonia ○ Ross Quinn - Away With Me

18th Wholune ○ NOISY - Put A Record On

19th Vülkyria ○ Alaina Castillo - tonight

20th Rolloland ○ Dead Can Dance - Kiko

21st Persephonia ○ Fatoumata Diawara - Nterini

22nd Kylienips ○ The Big Moon - Why

23rd Oslol ○ Drew Sycamore - Take It Back

24th FSR Rontvia ○ Ndlovu Youth Choir - We Will Rise

25th Flynnonda ○ Royal & The Serpent - Overwhelmed

 

Good luck to all those we voted for and fingers crossed for KAS:ST to smash too!

 

Goodnight from Summericia!

Yessss Thank you Tom for the 15! :wub: :wub: also thanks to Jack for some more points!

 

how does it feel to be not flopping for once?! :o

CODY!!! :heart:

 

(also I went to follow Thomas Doherty on Instagram after those pics x turns out I follow him already )

skall in the top 5 and hendinia making a comeback!!

Aaaaand my top 3 is all dance songs... and they’re flopping :( except danaeviia seems to be doing better now

 

Thanks so much Rob for the 9 points! :heart:

Bottom 10 realness :cheeseblock:

 

Bhangra really with a convincing lead now - obvz anything could still happen with a third of the votes still to come but I don't really see any reason for the trend so far to change so I think they're probably going to be hanging on now! (I'm not mad xx)
