July 8, 20214 yr I'm loving all the effort put into this. I don't know much about the artist I have sent so I'm looking forward to seeing what you've found out about them.
July 8, 20214 yr Author iY9YsLvNNt8 Recent National History BJSC 135 – Emmi – Drum – 7th BJSC 134 – poutyface – NEVER f***ING KNOW – 39th BJSC 133 – twst – Are You Filming Me? – DNQ New Lexico scored a respectable top 10 last contest with ‘Drum’.

They took part in Sanremo this year with “Amare”, finishing 11th. New Lexico will perform 20th in Semi-Final Z.
July 8, 20214 yr great to see the semi final reveal format getting used again this contest! interesting to see Motiv8 getting recycled again and also Ewan McVicar only 2 contests later (let's hope for a Q this time)
July 8, 20214 yr Author JIKLzfdvnOg Recent National History BJSC 135 – Missio – I See You - DNQ BJSC 134 – Halestorm – Apocalyptic - DNQ BJSC 133 – Xenomania pts. Paige Cavell - Red Is The Way – 3rd Summericia scored an amazing medal position with ‘Red Is The Way’ in BJSC 133, before having non-qualifiers since. Is this a comeback? Entrant History Aja seems to be Toronto based. “Red Button” is apparently about walking away from someone who isn’t good for you. trivia: AJA is one letter off the Japanese word for ‘red’ – ‘Aka’, which is also the name of the character I chose for the picture. Red is indeed the way? Summericia will perform 6th in Semi-Final Z.
July 8, 20214 yr Author eHrWZwyrG68 Recent National History BJSC 135 – Ruben – Running – 7th BJSC 134 – Drew Sycamore – 45 Fahrenheit Girl – 13th BJSC 133 - Bonn – Spaceships – 11th Mosquetania have had a very consistent run over the last few contests, of course hosting one of those as well. ‘Better Tomorrow’ is challenging to keep that consistency, or perhaps something more? Entrant History Matt Simons is a Brooklyn-based singer. He might be best known for his 2015 hit “Catch And Release”, which was a hit in a number of European countries. ' Mosquetania will perform 10th in Semi-Final Z.
July 8, 20214 yr Hopefully third time lucky for Aquafina's techno era? (assuming the song is good which it hopefully will be after 'Street Rave' x) New Lexico's artist name looks more like a political party than a band.
July 8, 20214 yr Author 4GOGgTDcbi0 Recent National History BJSC 135 – United Sexi Boyz – In Your Eyez - DNQ BJSC 134 – Dove Cameron – LazyBaby – 8th BJSC 133 – RY X – Bound – 15th Previously on a streak of success with ‘LazyBaby’ and 'Bound', Kluminican Republic came unstuck last contest with the United Sexi Boyz, and turn to K3 to reverse their fortunes. Entrant History K3 won BJSC 83 with ’10,000 Luchtballonen’. They are a Belgian-Dutch girl group with a rotating lineup. ‘Ushaia’ is the lead single of the 2016 album Ushaia that followed 2015’s 10,000 Luchtballonen. Kluminican Republic will perform 2nd in Semi-Final H.
July 8, 20214 yr K3 *.* My other main potential was produced by Motiv8 so it’s probably just as well I didn’t send that as their sound is pretty recognisably them on everything they’ve put their name to, at least in the 90s.
July 8, 20214 yr Author JLrAWIZ07EE Recent National History BJSC 135 – Camille – Vuurwerk – 9th BJSC 134 – Polo & Pan – Dorothy – 23rd BJSC 133 - Charlotte Cardin – Meaningless – 24th Responsible for the Untouched tribute Vuurwerk coming top 10 last contest and the rather wonderful ‘Dorothy’ of 2 contests ago, Bøtanikkä are continuing a tidy little streak as they enter the joint-shortest (two other entrants also managed this!) artist and song title with only 8 characters between RAJA and ZORA. ZOMBIE ALERT: Bøtanikkä are assigned Zombie number 4, Junko Konno, the legendary Showa (70s/80s) idol. Entrant History Like with Varakë earlier I can find very little about RAJA aside from that they are probably Russian. Bøtanikkä will perform 9th in Semi-Final H.
July 8, 20214 yr Amazing effort with all of this Iz! I'll catch up with everything properly after dinner but so far I think Lex's song is the only one I know (via listening to all the Sanremo songs this year)
July 8, 20214 yr Author 56LVUjK7Sz8 Recent National History BJSC 135 – blinkie - stronger (feat. house gospel choir) - DNQ BJSC 134 – Benny Goodman And His Orchestra - "Sing, Sing, Sing" - DNQ BJSC 133 - Buffy Sainte-Marie and Tanya Tagaq - You Got To Run (Spirit Of The Wind) – 19th Singerpurear are coming off a DNQ streak, but scored a top 20 hit with ‘You Got To Run’ not that long ago. HORSE ALERT: Singerpurear are assigned El Condor Pasa – an American-bred racehorse who saw a ton of success in Japan around the turn of the century. Entrant History Banderas were an English music duo from the early 90s. “This Is Your Life” was their most successful single, a short-lived top 20 hit. Singerpurear will perform 13th in Semi-Final Z.

Entrant History thisisNAMASTE is a relatively new Scottish singer-songwriter. This is her first appearance in BJSC. FSR Rontvia will perform 8th in Semi-Final H.
July 8, 20214 yr :cheer: Thanks Iz for the effort...I think my artist is actually from Ukraine...I could be wrong though!!!
July 8, 20214 yr Author :cheer: Thanks Iz for the effort...I think my artist is actually from Ukraine...I could be wrong though!!! That was the other option, I can't tell Russian from Ukrainian and they were hard to search for.
July 8, 20214 yr Motiv8 coming IN with the big Pride anthem. I just had to!!!! Haven’t had it off recently :wub:
July 8, 20214 yr Author IlAGi_2cd8I Recent National History BJSC 135 – Kirin J Callinan - Big Enough (feat. Alex Cameron, Molly Lewis & Jimmy Barnes) - DNQ BJSC 134 – COBRAH – GOOD PUSS – 6th BJSC 133 – Doss – Puppy – 1st Comeback winners with ‘Puppy’, N DNTN have appealed to both sides of the cat vs dog war in recent contests, and now they’re going for a comeback with ‘Re-Wild’. Entrant History Kelly Lee Owens came 16th in BJSC 124 for Aeroche. She is a Welsh electronic musician, ‘Re-Wild’, though not the remix, is from her 2020 album Inner Song. also I just realised I spelt the remix name wrong in that banner. Will fix that later. N DNTN will perform 3rd in Semi-Final Z.
July 8, 20214 yr The name 'thisisNAMASTE' seemed familiar and I'm not sure where from - may have been someone (Rich himself?) confirming them in a previous contest but then changing partway through? Have not heard this remix of 'Re-Wild' yet but cool to see Kelly Lee Owens in the contest again, her album was great. x
