Babet is an old Lookylion entrant, in fact their first one, so they are trying to return to old glories, will they succeed? HORSE ALERT: Special Week is the protagonist of the first season of Uma Musume, a throughbred of the late 90s who challenged and won several trophies throughout that period.

July 8, 20213 yr Author lFXcKbuW6LE Recent National History BJSC 135 – Rebecca Black – Personal – 38th BJSC 134 – Jessi - What Type Of X - DNQ BJSC 133 - Katy Rose - I Like – DNQ Aesthetica made it back to the final last contest with Rebecca Black.

July 8, 20213 yr Author ER_ohRRmfe8 Recent National History BJSC 135 – KUČKA – Drowning – 39th BJSC 134 – Postiljonen – Atlantis – 2nd BJSC 133 - Phoenix Laoutaris – Flowers – 35th D’yermak’er came 2nd just two contests ago, but have languished in the bottom of the final at other times.

July 8, 20213 yr Author IhuycWRGqVE Recent National History BJSC 135 – Yellow Claw - DRXGS (feat. Sara Fajira) – 41st BJSC 134 – shallow pools - "nothing new" - DNQ BJSC 133 - Primo The Alien - Do It Again – 22nd After a DNQ and coming last in the final, Mulgracia will be wanting to contend again with ‘Colorful’. ZOMBIE ALERT: Lily Hoshikawa, Zombie Number 6, is the Legendary Child Actress Prodigy. She’s also one of the most prominent and notable trans characters in anime, to the point where – this actually happened – noted TERF MP Joanna Cherry once, in Parliament, held up a picture of Lily saying ‘FUCK TERFs’ as an ‘example’ of the ‘abuse’ that TERFs get online for... being bigots. Anyway. She’s a favourite and the sweetest character really. Entrant History SHAED, an American trio, have been entered twice before, once coming 12th for Altyr Muunilinst with ‘Running Through The Fields’ in BJSC 88, and once coming 5th for Ultraviolenceland in BJSC 111.

July 8, 20213 yr Oh there I am, that was a late reveal x Let's go Team Horses I heard this in the film, Exit Through the Gift Shop, and it's stuck with me a bit, turns out it was also a vintage 2007 top 40 that must've been there in the rare weeks I didn't listen to the chart. It's a bit more Radio 2 than you may be used to for me, but hope some of you can get some joy out of it x I was quite surprised that I wasn't the only one sending a past top 40 hit this time! Beautiful presentation and effort with the concept of course, hope you can get some sleep tonight :lol:
July 8, 20213 yr 'Tonight The Streets Are Ours' is the 5th and final retro top 40 hit in this contest (and the only one that was within BuzzJack's existence). Terra Avium sending a random low top 40 hit from 2007 seems slightly out of character but I don't think I know the song so should reserve judgement until I hear it :lol: Uffie had some bangers back in the day, unexpected name to pop up here in 2021 but I'm moderately hyped to hear what she's up to these days x also 'Chameleon' is still the best Lookylion entry, feels early for them to already be recycling their greatest hits artists (!) but we'll see if another song from her is as good as the first.
July 8, 20213 yr Author Alright, we're almost there but one little moment of suspense with the final semi assignments. Returning Nations. Sorry for leaving you until last, it was just easiest with the way I planned it. There are 2 slots left in Semi Final H, 4 in Semi Final Z. Here are the returnees: Bhangra Numayania Pagasa Republic Of Adonia Vülkyria Wholune What have they brought?

July 8, 20213 yr Author ben9qDbrLYU Recent National History BJSC 134 – Grimes - REALiTi (Demo) – 5th BJSC 133 – Kilo Kish - NICE OUT - DNQ BJSC 132 - Lexie Liu – ALGTR – DNQ Republic Of Adonia got a 5th place with their anniversary entry but DNQs for other recent results, Magdalena Bay will be hoping to be more like REALiTi and less like the DNQ entries. Entrant History Magdalena Bay are a L.A. based pair. They have come 21st with ‘Only If You Want It’ for Trifoski in BJSC 115, and for Republic Of Adonia in BJSC 130 with ‘Sky2Fall’, they came 33rd. The music video pays homage at least in my mind to 'Ghost In The Shell', deciding that character assignment for me. Republic Of Adonia will perform 7th in Semi-Final H.

This is their first appearance in the BJSC. Pagasa will perform 26th in Semi-Final Z.

July 8, 20213 yr Author Okay, we're done. :D Thanks for following along guys, I have the semi finals ready-ish so I'll just open the threads now and then I will be getting some sleep x
July 8, 20213 yr The Wholune entry has some intriguing pedigree behind it with the Slaves connection + production from Damon Albarn. Could potentially be a good one. x Thanks for all your efforts with this thread Iz, has been a fun read, looking forward to listening to the songs :wave:

Well, it was either this or something from the 80's, and since my 80's adventure did not go so well in last month's spin-off contest, here we are! -_-
