Posted June 8, 20214 yr Greetings one and all from Persephonia as we take part in hosting Buzzjackfestivalen for the first time ~ We have 44 entries in this edition of our semi-regular short song extravaganza which means 11 of you have been lucky enough to be drawn for a live performance here at the New Persephonia City Apollo for Heat 1. The other three heats should be dropped in short order by our fellow moderating nations. Each participating country must vote only in their own heat, and no voting for yourself as per usual. Due to the smaller field of songs than a usual BJSC semi-final we shall be using a modified version of the points system - when you've decided on your votes, PM them to me in the following format: 12 points (to your favourite) 10 points 8 points 6 points 4 points 2 points (to your 6th favourite) The top two songs from the heat will win a ticket straight to the grand final, while the songs placing 3rd through 5th will have a chance to also make the final if they can make it through the Andra Chansen round. Unfortunately the countries below 5th place have their journeys end there but they remain welcome and encouraged to vote in the Andra Chansen and final rounds. Please note that the deadline for voting is also shorter than a usual contest - there is, after all, only about a half hour of material to listen through! - so according to our behind the scenes planning thread the deadline is set at 23:59 BST on Saturday 12th June, giving you a little over 4 days, I hope that is sufficient x Let the heat commence! 01 République d'Áskorza // 02 Jupiterdonia // 03 Mulgracia // 04 Altyr Muunilinst // 05 Sovarasma // 06 Zaminton // 07 Quintessa // 08 Rolloland // 09 Aesthetica // 10 Harmonica // 11 Kathaldazia // Votes received so far (11): Aesthetica Altyr Muunilinst Harmonica Jupiterdonia Kathaldazia Mulgracia Quintessa République d'Áskorza Rolloland Sovarasma Zaminton
June 8, 20214 yr Not quite the draw I was hoping for! But I’m so excited to send this song all the same.
June 8, 20214 yr Literally 4 of my favourite countries in this heat, plus one from Mulgracia from a band I'm a huge fan of!
June 8, 20214 yr Is it one heat at a time? Like, will heat 2 start after results of heat 1 or will all four heats be run simultaneously? Never mind. :lol:
June 8, 20214 yr have all the mods gotten a pimp slot or it's just askorza? x May as well start off with the winner x But srs. Random.org did the allocation between the Heats.
June 8, 20214 yr First of all, how the hell did Armin Van Buuren & Sophie Ellis-Bextor get passed the Veto??? Second of all, Durch Die Nacht is amazing :wub:
June 8, 20214 yr omg is this Dorofeeva bitch popular here? So many views and I've literally never heard of her (I wish it could stay this way x)
June 8, 20214 yr This isn't even anonymous!! Sorry, but HARD PASS, no late surprise entry from me. You don't have me to kick around anymore!!
June 8, 20214 yr As this is spin off, of sorts, the standard veto framework does not apply. The song itself is pretty poor and charted at 165 in the UK (8 in NL and 26 in BE). It’s also a decade old. I think the name recognition is higher than the song recognition so on balance I’m inclined to allow it to stay personally First of all, how the hell did Armin Van Buuren & Sophie Ellis-Bextor get passed the Veto??? Second of all, Durch Die Nacht is amazing :wub: First one - See quoted posts above Second - YES!!!! Its so good :wub:
June 9, 20214 yr SyncTube/Discord sesh for this tomorrow night? And for the other 3 heats but I won't ask in every thread lol, it is 44 entries but still shorter than a regular BJSC semi-final for obvious reasons
