July 8, 20213 yr Author s15anOfJihc Recent National History BJSC 135 – NTO - Invisible (Paul Kalkbrenner Remix) – 24th BJSC 134 – Christina Novelli – Numb – 11th BJSC 133 - Weird Genius - Sweet Scar (Feat. Prince Husein) – DNQ With some recent dance hits, most notably ‘Numb’, Land Of DW will be hoping ‘Poison’ can add to that tally. ZOMBIE ALERT: Zombie Number One, Sakura Minamoto, an aspiring idol who was killed before she could make her name and legend status – fortunately she was later resurrected by a madman. Entrant History Maduk is a Dutch DJ. Gid Sedgewick is a songwriter/producer from Surrey. For both it is their first appearance in the BJSC. Land Of DW will perform 18th in Semi-Final H.
July 8, 20213 yr Author h42gjj23diY Recent National History BJSC 135 – Akira Yamaoka – Not Tomorrow - DNQ BJSC 134 – Eluera - "Moderation" - DNQ BJSC 133 - SEVENTEEN – HIT – 38th Holding onto a few DNQs at the moment, Lotunia will be hoping for a reversal of fortunes with Faun’s Gaia. Entrant History Faun are a German pagan folk band (*.*) who were first entered in BJSC 83 by Séyetana with ‘Tanz Mit Mir’, finishing 10th. They were then entered by Lotunia in 103 with ‘Federkleid’, finishing 7th. Lotunia will perform 17th in Semi-Final Z.
July 8, 20213 yr Author 85Tl5-cev5g Recent National History BJSC 135 – YONAKA - Call Me A Saint – 25th BJSC 128 – yeule - Pretty Bones – 38th BJSC 127 – The Big Moon – Why – 40th Kylienips’ comeback with YONAKA (tl note: YONAKA means ‘the middle of the night’) was mediumly successful, so now they turn to Fletcher for some Healing. Entrant History Arrow-maker’s history in BJSC is varied, she, FLETCHER, first appeared for Beaverdonia with ‘War Paint’ in 77, then Ultraviolenceland with ‘Over My Head’ in 89, then ‘About You’ for Taahino in 121, then ‘Forever’ for United States Of Jack in 124. She has come 25th, DNQ, 7th and 23rd respectively. That makes it two Kylienips entries on the trot for which it is the artist’s 5th appearance :basil: Kylienips will perform 9th in Semi-Final Z.
July 8, 20213 yr Not that thrilled with H, but a) it's my fave entry this year b) it's basically Pendulum, so it must Q no matter where it is.
July 8, 20213 yr Author -QgkaIjmodc Recent National History BJSC 135 – The Kinks – Come Dancing - DNQ BJSC 134 – Iraina Mancini - Deep End - DNQ BJSC 133 - Charlotte Hatherley - Kim Wilde – DNQ 3 non-qualifiers in a row, so Suedeonia will be hoping that ‘Falling’ puts an end to that and brings them success once again. Entrant History McAlmont & Butler are an English duo, who had some minor hits around the turn of the millennium, including ‘Falling’. It is their first appearance in BJSC. Suedeonia will perform 29th in Semi-Final H.
July 8, 20213 yr Author GS4zsLNTPok Recent National History BJSC 135 – Yung Sherman - I D C (Evian Christ Remix) – 26th BJSC 134 – Genesis Owusu - The Other Black Dog – 15th BJSC 133 - Genoux Vener - Grand Coeur De Pierre – 17th With 3 qualifiers, two reasonable hits but none big, Jadakissnia will be challenging for another hit to follow up ‘strast’ from the beginning of the year. Entrant History Yendry is a Dominican-Italian singer and says that ‘YA’ is about empowerment and self-reliance. Jadakissnia will perform 28th in Semi-Final Z.
July 8, 20213 yr 'Space Cadet' is of course great. Although 'Dark Gethsemane' was greater if we had to send a song from this EP xx I didn't realise when I first saw it in the sheet that Lotunia's was the same FAUN as the one who made 'Tanz Mit Mir' / 'Federkleid' (I'm used to the name being capitalised x), I liked both of those songs quite a lot so consider me reasonably hyped for the completion of the trilogy x A handful of songs that have charted for me already, but most notably Jupiterdonia brought a song which I heavily debated submitting both this month and for May. Thought to myself that BJSC would probably pay it dust but now I'm sad I missed out on my best chance of getting pts from Persephonia since probably BJSC 105 or something :lol: I should say, to not get Jupiter's hopes up, that I'm not really a huge fan of 'Waves Of Blue' :teresa: it's just better than their other material. (and, well... whenever the last time I voted for you was, it's still more recent than the nonexistent last time you voted for me :basil: which will certainly not be changing this month x)
July 8, 20213 yr My entry is Spanish this time despite that nationality duo, very ROSALÍA-esque, I have no idea how it'll go down but I hope some people will enjoy!
July 8, 20213 yr Author e9sDb8eVEWM Recent National History BJSC 135 – Day6 - 1 to 10 - DNQ BJSC 134 – Hedda Mae - "Take It Or Leave It - DNQ BJSC 133 - Wamdue Project - You're The Reason (Roy Malone Liquid Mix Radio Edit) – DNQ Another one with 3 DNQs in a row, will POPHub turn it around this contest with ‘Monogamy’? Buzzjack’s reasonably traditional*, and therefore they’d be horrified with the line ‘screw your monogamy’. We’ll see. *in comparison to me. Entrant History Emilie Adams is a Norwegian singer. She was first entered by Tinnmark in BJSC 103 with ‘Aliens’, coming 30th. POPHub will perform 21st in Semi-Final H.
July 8, 20213 yr Author X923xf8b_zI Recent National History BJSC 135 – Bentley Rhythm Ace - Bentley's Gonna Sort You Out! – 27th BJSC 134 – ABDA - Gold - DNQ BJSC 133 - Mint Royale and Lauren Laverne - Don't Falter – 9th A hit for Zanmatony was 3 contests ago with 'Don't Falter'. Will they have another hit on their hands as they turn to the SNAILS, and it seems, the frogs too. Entrant History SNAILS is a music producer from Canada. This is his first appearance in the BJSC. Zanmatony will perform 21st in Semi-Final Z.
July 8, 20213 yr I had a Reddit post about YEИDRY noting her as having ROSALÍA-esque sound saved from a few weeks back meaning to check out some of her music so definitely looking forward to hearing that one! (not actually even the first time this year Jade snapped up an artist who I'd planned to listen to anyway as the same happened with Genesis Owusu lol)
July 8, 20213 yr Author dPjCI2GR2vw Recent National History BJSC 135 – gardenstate and GVN - Take Me There – 28th BJSC 134 – ATTLAS & Colleen D'Agostino - "Feels Like" - DNQ BJSC 133 - Felon - Fine Lines (feat. EKE) – 7th Following a top 10 with ‘Fine Lines’, Danæviia suffered a DNQ but bounced back to get 28th last contest, where will Golden Hour take them from here. HORSE ALERT: Gold Ship, also known as ‘best horse’. An eccentric both in the anime and in real-life, the real horse is, while retired from racing, still kicking around as he’s more modern than most Uma Musume horses (the grandson of the aforementioned Mejiro McQueen over on Rolloland), and was noted (and beloved, sometimes) for his wildly variable results. Golden Hour is of course the other ‘Gold’ song I was referring to earlier. Entrant History Ashley Walbridge is an English producer. This is his first entry to the BJSC. Danæviia will perform 11th in Semi-Final H.
July 8, 20213 yr Author xh1Q1x_gDdE Recent National History BJSC 135 – Madame Monsieur - Cœurs Abîmés – 29th BJSC 134 – Ochman - Wielkie Tytuły - DNQ BJSC 133 - qwinn - YLTWIL – DNQ Beating off a couple of DNQs last contest, Caerfyrddia came 29th, will they better that this time with ‘Let Me Go’? Entrant History Fionn are a duo from Canada. ‘Let Me Go’ is described a melodramatic song about a relationship that gets a little angsty. Maybe a lot angsty. You decide. Caerfyrddia will perform 24th in Semi-Final H.
July 8, 20213 yr Author 9jRNgzIyVMM Recent National History BJSC 135 – Tungevaag - Young Summer – 30th BJSC 134 – The Go! Team - "World Remember Me Now" - DNQ BJSC 133 – Electribe 101 - Talking With Myself '98 (Canny 12" Vocal) – DNQ Some DNQs for Tartford but they came back last contest with ‘Young Summer’, now will they stabilise? Entrant History Milk Inc. first appeared in BJSC 20, DNQing with what I assume is a cover of the A-Ha classic ‘The Sun Always Shines On TV’. A Belgian duo, they’ve had reasonable chart success. ‘La Vache’ is their first BJSC entry in more than 100 contests, and it means ‘The Cow’. Tartford will perform 4th in Semi-Final H.
July 8, 20213 yr Ashley Wallbridge popping up to represent Danæviia was bound to happen one of these days! (aside: TIL Ashley Wallbridge is male) 'La Vache' is another retro top 40 hit, assuming it is the same song as the one that appears on Polyhex as 'Good Enough (La Vache)' (there's no mention of that title on their Wiki article).
July 8, 20213 yr Author NUqllCR1HAc Recent National History BJSC 135 – Vetta Borne - Kissing Strangers – 31st BJSC 134 – Olga Seryabkina - Chto Zhe Ty Nadelal – 29th BJSC 133 - Loviet – Dullshine – 40th 3 respectable qualifiers in a row at least for Cor Lupus, but we know they won’t be satisfied with that, I’m sure they’re hoping for another hit, will ‘Energy’ be the one? Entrant History Sibewest is a Russian musician from Siberia, I'd guess from the western part of it. I can’t find much about Ytho. Either way, this is the first BJSC entry for both of them. Cor Lupus will perform 1st in Semi-Final Z.
July 8, 20213 yr Author GoJkZ1aOdAk Recent National History BJSC 135 – Peach PRC – Josh – 32nd BJSC 134 – Tinashe - Ghetto Boy – 30th BJSC 133 - MIME – CONVERSATIONS – 42nd Three consecutive placings 30th or lower, I’m sure Ojnoj will be hungry for more, though for now they have a good Q record and ‘Home All Summer’ is likely hoping to at least hold that up if not go further. Entrant History The featured artist Marc Anthony came 34th in BJSC 105 for Beaverdonia’s Gente De Zona as a featured artist. He is of course a occasional UK chart artist including ‘Rain Over Me’ with Pitbull. Anthony Ramos and Leslie Grace are actors in the musical film ‘In The Heights’ which ‘Home All Summer’ is taken from. Ojnoj will perform 6th in Semi-Final H.
July 8, 20213 yr Author GETA47frrK0 Recent National History BJSC 135 – Bahari - Savage (feat. BIA) – 33rd BJSC 134 – Robin Packalen - Hard To Love (feat. Alex Mattson) – 4th BJSC 133 - EBEN - Ghost Town – 41st While two of these were low finishes, two contests ago TARO Bellamia scored a top 5 and will be hoping that you all give their favourite Greyson Chance as much love as you can. Entrant History Greyson Chance, American singer, has a long history in BJSC, appearing in BJSC 43 as (then) Bellamia’s first entry with ‘Running Away’. He also appeared for Herzebania with ‘Unfriend You’, twice for Bignia-Zaragovina with ‘Back On The Wall’ and ‘Waiting Outside The Lines’, and once more for The Actual Republic Of Bellamia with ‘Dancing Next To Me’. Out of these five entries he has achieved respectively two DNQs, 42nd, 21st and 10th, so where this one finishes is anyone’s guess. The Actual Republic Of Bellamia will perform 22nd in Semi-Final H.
July 8, 20213 yr Sibewest has had a couple of great songs recently - 'Silence' and 'Cyclone' have been my faves but 'Energy' is a tune as well (another one, like the DJ Sabrina song, that I nearly charted when it first came out so might belatedly impact my chart after revisiting it here).
July 8, 20213 yr Author L6Tfw2AXBvk Recent National History BJSC 135 – Caveboy – Obsessed – 34th BJSC 134 – Robyn Sherwell - "To Give Up" - DNQ BJSC 133 - Remi Wolf & Dominic Fike - Photo ID – DNQ Off a batch of DNQs, Harmonica qualified last contest with Caveboy and will surely hope to take things to the next level with Black Atlass returning for them. HORSE ALERT: Rice Shower, famously known in Japanese media as the ‘Black Assassin’ with his talent for winning races just as other horses were about to complete a historic feat and thereby denying them – a streak-breaker if you will. Very good arc in the anime replicating those events, and definitely made me think of all the streak stuff in BJSC. Entrant History Black Atlass is a Canadian singer and model. It is his second appearance in the BJSC, after failing to qualify in BJSC 117, also for Harmonica. Harmonica will perform 14th in Semi-Final H.
