Oh yeah, I want to give these a further bit of appreciation:

08

07

06

05 Niceland - Amongst Wolves - Rabbit Hole

04 Sovarasma - YONAKA - Seize The Power

03

02

01

 

Kind of expected Niceland out even though it's great but stunned at YONAKA failing to qualify, this was easily the best of their tracks that have been sent. Pagasa was 11th for me and Utopia was 12th too so shame to see those gone in a strong semi. But most of my votes qualified so that's good really.

 

As for Semi 2, loved the Adonia track, Chestoria, Aesthetica and Harmonica were very enjoyable, Terra Avium was brilliant as normal, and very sorry to see the Rontvia track out too, that was a beautiful discovery, would have pointed or strongly considered all of those if I could have.

 

PEACE BJSC, PEACE

nooo not jakewild AND my 12 (adonia) going out !!!

 

thx everyone for the votes and the hype tho <3 and for proving who the superior 152wild is 👼

Ah well, it was a risk worth taking! It got Bré's stamp of approval so it feels like a winner anyway!

 

Onwards to the Final, good luck everyone!

Aww unlucky to have got so close but have fallen on the right side of the semi final draw in 3 of the previous 5 contests so can't complain too much.

 

Think I only lost Suedonia (6), Scherzland (4) and Niceland (2) from my votes and Sovarasma would have been 11th, which isn't too bad.

5. Land of DW - Weird Genius - Sweet Scar (Feat. Prince Husein)

18. Buzzjack Mountain - Rare Birds - Forbidden Fruit (Monsieur ZonZon Trouble Club Mix)

10. East Rukahavian - Tvilling - Free

23. Sovarasma - YONAKA - Seize The Power

26. Suedeonia - Charlotte Hatherley - Kim Wilde

 

Well, knew it would be a bloodbath and out goes half of our voted-for faves :o Tracks not standing out as memorable for one reason or another were always going to struggle....

 

Eep!

 

(for Jade n James there, I also love that word :lol: Urban dictionaries say it started in The Simpsons but I'm half thinking I read it as a kid in book reprints of 50's MAD magazine as minor comic characters had bad stuff happen to them. Eep!)

 

Thanks for getting Buffy through to the final :wub: She wrote Up Where We Belong and hit theme to forgotten movie Soldier Blue, a Dustin Hoffman movie which turned around the cliche Hollywood "Injuns are bad" in cowboy movies into "Native Americans are the victims"

 

Thanks for hosting too, John, taking it all on much appreciated! :)

Gutted to lose by far the best song in SF1, and this opens the door to my final votes being a real SF2 sweep, but I'm particularly glad I qualified this time <3 Thanks for the votes!!

Lots of quick turnover currently! Didn't expect to be so high up that leaderboard after four qualifications!

And good to see Rolloland in the top 8.

John, stop being good please x

didn't expect to be up at 3rd on the Q streak already! ooft. time flies!

Fell off the Q streak list by 2 points as the top 5 opens :(

Edited March 20, 20214 yr by RabbitFurCoat

2 years seems like such a long old time! Pia Mia was robbed too!

Try having a 7 year dnq run x

well... :wacko:

I really appreciate the support that y'all gave my entry even though it didn't qualify, really nice to see!! Thank you Leww (good thing you didn't send it yourself x), Rich, Bray, and Dr. Blind, Chris, and Iz for your commitment to the Republic of Adonia cause! As of today, the borders to Adonia will reopen to your residents x

Ah well, it was a risk worth taking! It got Bré's stamp of approval so it feels like a winner anyway!

 

Onwards to the Final, good luck everyone!

 

My impact :lol: ngl I was a little worried from the song title that I had inadvertently encouraged you to send a tacky dud :basil: but yeah, definitely my favourite of the songs that DNQed this time around, sad times. At least we still have another sax instrumental in the final!

 

I'll post the rest of the extraneous details re: the Q streak shortly but thanks Wardy for catering to the impatient in the mean time xx (in fairness it's recently been about a 50/50 shot of me getting around to updating that list at all)

* more consecutive entries (18 for Hendinia, 13 for Aquafina, 5 for Zanmatony, 4 for N DNTN, 2 for Bhangra) have qualified but these streaks were broken by breaks from the contest

 

Extending national records: Altyr Muunilinst

Qualifying for the first time: Kingdom of Horanius (after 5 previous DNQs)

Matching previous national records: Rolloland (previously achieved in BJSCs 103-107), Summericia (previously achieved in BJSCs 117-121, also matched by a run of 5 qualifiers in non-consecutive contests (BJSCs 102-103 & 106-108)), Cumulonimbia (previously achieved in BJSCs 79-82, exceeded by a run of 6 qualifiers in non-consecutive contests (BJSCs 75, 79-82 & 85))

 

Aquafina and Zanmatony further extend their records in non-consecutive contests.

Sorry I wasn’t being impatient and didn’t mean to step on your position, I just thought it would save you some time but really I should have known you would have lots of extra details to add! Feel free to delete my post and post yourself whenever you are ready x

Wardy, Bray is saying thank you to you, that's all there is to it. :D

Well I hope so, I guess I always think afterwards “was it really my place to post that or should I just have patiently left it to someone else who knows what they are doing and has successfully been posting it for a long time.” I guess I’m losing my mind a bit lately and acting impulsively, but maybe I’m being overly enthusiastic about being back in BJSC again. I’ll try and tone it down in the future.
