Posted December 10, 20213 yr Anyone lacking the festive spirit? Well, how about a christmas spin-off then to get you in the mood? It's time for the fourth edition of the Christmas Spin-Off (even though the last one was indeed labeled as the second edition, Dan pointed out in the confirmation thread that the first one was sometime long long ago). The last one was in 2019 where Terra Avium won the whole thing with "Christmas Medley" by Two Steps From Hell. Confirmations are officially open and they will be open until NEXT FRIDAY December 17 2021. However, before I can let you all at it let's go over the song selection rules. Since this is a spin-off the Veto process is a bit more relaxed than in a normal edition. However, to ensure we don't got somebody trying to send "All I Want For Christmas" here, there are a few rules:All songs must be related to winter and/or the holidays in some way. However, the songs do not HAVE to be about Christmas, but they can also be about winter, Thanksgiving, New Years Eve, Kwanzaa, Hannukah, yuletime or any other winter festival.No songs that have reached the UK or US top 10, and no songs that have reached the top 40 in either country in the past 10 years.No songs that have previously been submitted to a BJSC Christmas spin-off (list will be provided in the next post). Regular BJSC entries will be allowed, excluding only songs that placed in the top 10.Covers are allowed, but only if they are not chord-for-chord copies of well known christmas songs that would not be eligible to be submitted to this edition.Remixes of songs that break any of the rules above will not be allowed.Artists are first come, first serve and this goes for featured artists and remixers as well.TENTATIVE CHRISTMAS SCHEDULE: Confirmations: Friday, December 10 - Friday, December 17 Voting: Saturday, December 18 - Saturday, December 25 Results: Sunday, December 26 (Dates are subject to change but I will inform in this thread if that does happen) Confirm your entry HERE.

December 10, 20213 yr okay do I go for a kpop song that is more slick or a kpop song that is super balls to the wall insane that no one but me will like it
December 10, 20213 yr Firefox AK finishing 11th after a 33% deduction. When will your faves :cheeseblock:
December 10, 20213 yr Confirmed, was lucky to find something just the other day, will be aiming to protect my title with another epic Christmas Carol x I wonder what part the Christmas movies will play? :thinking:
December 10, 20213 yr Confirmed. Just so happened that I stumbled across a famous band who I never heard their Christmas related track before so that'll do. Classic rock anyhow! oh and my country name won't fit with the time of year either so slightly altered that to make sense lol. Edited December 10, 20213 yr by Rob S
December 10, 20213 yr Author Just to preface this before I get ones I cannot figure out on my own lol, but please use the official/real names of your countries (at least in brackets) when you submit so that I can actually know what country is entering the contest. :cheeseblock: On that note, can someone help me identify these countries from XMAS III?: North Pole Land Dereindeeria Christmas Isle Santas Sleigh FlysOverSnowdonia Snowflume (I assume this is Wholune?)
December 10, 20213 yr Author oh and my country name won't fit with the time of year either so slightly altered that to make sense lol. It honestly took me a few seconds to realise what country this is :lol: but that's on me because it was actually quite clever!
December 10, 20213 yr I'm in! With something which I only discovered last year but now definitely consider to be in my top 3 Christmas songs
December 10, 20213 yr Dereindeeria is Deandria I think (Mattias). Not sure on the others. Edited December 10, 20213 yr by Rob S
December 10, 20213 yr Help me decide please... Should I go for: (1) Melancholy and deep song related to Christmas (2) Fun and silly song about Mariah (to be represented under the alias of Why So Sirius Why So Santa) (3) My BJSC 141 entry that I teased earlier so that I could go for another entry in BJSC 141? (Car alarm entry promised for next year's BJSC!) Edited December 10, 20213 yr by stocksting
December 10, 20213 yr I think Christmas Isle was Common Sense. He hasn't entered a contest before or since.
December 10, 20213 yr North Pole Land - Niceland (I think?) Santas Sleigh FlysOverSnowdonia = Flynnonda
December 10, 20213 yr i swear to you I came up something very Xmassy the other day and thought about the spin off contest and now I can't remember what song was :nocheer:
December 10, 20213 yr Confirmed something from the 80s by someone who has a much more well known Christmas song from the 70s.
December 10, 20213 yr North Pole Land - Niceland (I think?) Santas Sleigh FlysOverSnowdonia = Flynnondaall that and you can’t think of NaughtyOrNiceland?
December 10, 20213 yr aight I went with the crazy kpop song. time to assault your ears as revenge for making 2021 my flop Witness era Felix navidad
