September 14, 20204 yr And here was me thinking at the start that maybe I hadn't given Bhangra enough points to secure them the victory!
September 14, 20204 yr Author 51/61 PERSEPHONIA :jump: good evening from Persephonia, happy to be here in the BJSC's spiritual home of Aeroche once more and back in the final after missing out last month x Thanks to our hosts for a great contest and here are our votes ~ In a development that will surely be shocking to everyone our 18 goes to the gloomy gothic electronic seizure-inducer from Jadakissnia who are really trying to make us look like bloc voters this year more than ever as they rank in our top 4 for the sixth (!) final in a row. It's our 2nd 18 to them this year (following Aphex Twin in BJSC 123) out of 7 in total to date, and their 22nd top 3 finish for us to date overall (also including 8 15s and 7 13s). Aelandor come in a very close 2nd place with their Attenborough-core instrumental claiming 15 points, their 5th medal position finish for us (2 18s, 2 15s and 1 13) and first since we gave 18 to The Midnight in BJSC 110. And in news almost as shocking as Jadakissnia making our top 3, Skall are also up there with another instrumental, one I think I managed to avoid entirely in 2018 somehow but happy to be introduced to it now as it claims our 13 points. This is their 11th time finishing in our medal positions (comprising 2 golds, 5 silvers and 4 bronzes), the first since last picking up 13 points with Animal Collective also in BJSC 110 although as ever we have to acknowledge they'd probably have many more points from us if so many of their best entries didn't keep being voted out in the semi-finals. xx Beyond the top 3, 10 points to Wholune for their semi The Prodigy esque entry marks the second highest points we've given them to date (behind the 12 for The Band CAMINO in BJSC 119), Cor Lupus pick up 3 points to notch their first appearance in our votes for exactly a year (last getting 2 points for Jealous Friend in BJSC 117) and as we didn't do one of these rambling commentaries last month I'll belatedly acknowledge that our 8 points to Numayania last month were their first points from us since we gave 5 to The Asteroids Galaxy Tour a lifetime ago in BJSC 42; their wait for another appearance in our votes is markedly shorter as they sneak in again this month with 1 point for another camp synthbop. Also a shoutout to our host Aeroche and other auto-qualifiers Kluminican Republic who both make our votes, picking up 8 and 5 points respectively. Full votes: 18 Jadakissnia // Tempers - Hell Hotline 15 Aelandor // Thomas James White - Beyond You 13 Skall // Krystal Klear - Neutron Dance 12 Summericia // KAS:ST - Hell On Earth 11 Terra Avium // LCD Soundsystem - Seconds 10 Wholune // NOISY - Put A Record On 9 FSR Rontvia // Ndlovu Youth Choir - We Will Rise 8 Aeroche // Alewya - Sweating 7 Singerpurear // Yello - Of Course I'm Lying 6 Rolloland // Dead Can Dance - Kiko 5 Kluminican Republic // Peking Duk - Feels Like 4 Utopia // Ejeca - Ekstac 3 Cor Lupus // Jessie Frye - Ocean 2 Thelonia // Ross Quinn - Away With Me 1 Numayania // Regulus Red - All For Himself And commiserations to these: 16th Niceland // The Sweet Serenades - City Lights 17th Oslol // Drew Sycamore - Take It Back 18th Fljótavík // Working Men's Club - Valleys 19th Bøtanikkä // Chilli - Tic, Tic Tac (feat. Carrapicho) but not to Séyetana, maybe they'd have made our votes if they voted for Beaverdonia x 52/61 UTOPIA A great final this month, lots of excellent songs worthy of points. Commiserations to Aelandor, Hendinia, Flynnonda, Hushkanukia and Cor Lopus who all sent songs that would've got points in most other contests this year. Onto the points... 01 - Aeroche 02 - Kluminican Republic 03 - FSR Rontvia 04 - Persephonia 05 - Republic of Adonia 06 - Summericia 07 - Kylienips 08 - Danaeviia 09 - FARC 10 - Jadakissnia Into the top 5 and it's a third consecutive top 10 score, a strong final return following a DNQ streak and a first time ever in the Utopian top 3. 11 - Thelonia 12 - Seyetana 13 - Niceland But it's a somewhat predictable top 2. Since Utopia's 2018 return to the contest a FLJ 18 has remained elusive but it's an 8th top 5 placing from 12 contests for them, as the 18 goes to the same country as it did last month. 15 - Fljotavik 18 - Terra Avium 1 293 Bhangra 2 252 FARC 3 241 Summericia 4 228 Hendinia 5 217 Thelonia 6 209 Altyr Muunilinst 7 207 Skall 8 204 Cor Lupus 9 201 United States of Jack 10 196 Republic of Adonia 11 194 Bøtanikkä 12 182 Flynnonda 13 182 St. Burbia 14 168 Aeroche 15 167 Jupiterdonia 16 166 Danæviia 17 161 Land of DW 18 158 Terra Avium 19 153 Utopia 20 152 Greenfroze 21 147 Mosquetania 22 145 The Actual Republic of Bellamia 23 143 Caerfyrddia 24 142 Harmonica 25 134 Kluminican Republic 26 132 Fljótavík 27 129 Oslol 28 124 Hushkanukia 29 121 FSR Rontvia 30 121 Numayania 31 121 Vülkyria 32 118 Rolloland 33 118 Wholune 34 116 Ojnoj 35 101 Persephonia 36 94 Aelandor 37 93 Dobago 38 89 Niceland 39 85 Séyetana 40 82 Jadakissnia 41 82 Kylienips 42 80 Singerpurear
September 14, 20204 yr Hahaha don’t think I’ve ever managed back to back 18’s from the same country let alone 3 in a row! Thank you very much once again J00psey!
September 14, 20204 yr Hope I can stay in the top 20. Currently sandwiched between my best and worst songs in the contest!
September 14, 20204 yr Wait since when did Hendinia get so high! (I actually didn't think this one would do this well, why didn't this happen for NEA EINI :'() Thanks RFC, finally over the 100 point mark, hooray! (I feel like I got to ~70 points really quickly but the wait for the last 30 has been pretty lengthy xx) 1 point swap with Numayania :wave: (and indeed a 4 point swap with Utopia, both in the same post, how satisfying)
September 14, 20204 yr bray: “this might be the best Cor Lupus entry in ages” *still gives me “meh, good enough” points* F6Fh5NGXDPw
September 14, 20204 yr bray: “this might be the best Cor Lupus entry in ages” *still gives me “meh, good enough” points* F6Fh5NGXDPw I said in my commentary this is the first time I have voted for you at all in a year xx

September 14, 20204 yr I did NOT notice how Singerpurear and Jadakissnia are flailing around in the bottom 3, with my points only helping a little there </3
September 14, 20204 yr two pop sluts saw my post and immediately took action to say: 'no :heart: ' that's my band name
September 14, 20204 yr Thank you very much RFC :wub: And so close to rare points from Bré but probably a just result since his just missed my Top 25! Next contest maybe?
September 14, 20204 yr No longer last :cheeseblock: thanks so much Bray for 18, Dandy for 15, plus Harve, RFC and Jupiter for more! Found some fans yay :lol:
September 14, 20204 yr Thank you Harvey! Happy that Jadakissnia are at least not last any more, the Tempers fanbase taking their time with the votes this month xx
