March 23, 20223 yr Wow so many anniversary entries at once. A lot of artists I recognise this edition but songs not so much.
March 23, 20223 yr Death slot Lots of intriguing artist names here (Depeche Mode *.* + N DNTN & Jadakissnia recycle Vendredi Sur Mer <3 amongst others) but I can only recall a couple of songs, Danæviia's made my personal chart last month, so hype for that from the other semi!
March 23, 20223 yr I can recognise quite a couple of songs here! :o Thought About That, RELATE, Monochrome, No Romeo, maybe Run, HYPER, Deeper and mona lisa. Hype to Monochrome, No Romeo, HYPER and Deeper. They all sound fantastic. In particular, I think the pop bloc will warm up to No Romeo the most, while Deeper should have cross-bloc appeal with both the pop and dance bloc. Both of them could contend for the win but probably there will be surprises (I'm thinking of Thomas Bergersen in particular)! Edited March 24, 20223 yr by uhsting
March 23, 20223 yr I already know and love 'No Romeo' from my semi. I was going to considering sending it but had a hunch someone else would confirm it tbh. Night Club *.* I'm pretty certain I've heard that one as well by them but will need to jog my memory a bit. Looking forward to hearing the Depeche Mode song too.
March 23, 20223 yr Great diversity here, well done people! B-) Otto Knows appearing in a semi final with a song called “Million Voices” though. :kink: Also familiar with Lane 8, twocolors, FISHER & Shermanology, LP Giobbi & Bklava as well as of course the very many anniversary artists! :o Hope I find new fans of my entry this month (except for Yehesi who failed to enter and has previously entered my artist <_< ) Have a good contest everyone!
March 23, 20223 yr 🌗🌓🔮🌊 Hikaru Utada in my semi! And Iri looks like a very intriguing possibility too.
March 23, 20223 yr I thought HYPER would get vetoed because of me, Sven, and its official performance. :lol: Quite know that twocolors and Otto Knows song as well. On the other semi, I actually used to listen to Dylan's "You're Not Harry Styles" several times, but not "No Romeo".
March 23, 20223 yr Can finally unleash the anniversary entry I've been planning for years on you all *.* I mean it had to be Two Steps/Thomas Bergersen and this was quite the fitting one to do it with as I hope you will all recognise. I actually know some of these, maybe my new music playlist is keeping me more up to date - Mona Lisa was actually on my potentials list for next month :o It's a great sunny, pop number that is pretty irresistible despite not quite being the usual thing I'm into. Best of luck with that, Wholune. I also recognise Billy Talent as a Kerrang staple from my old days surfing the music channels, how random *_
March 23, 20223 yr I think I landed in a really good semi for my song for once! :lol: recognize a lot of songs from what I’m seeing so far, this contest should be interesting
March 23, 20223 yr Think there are 4 songs that I've already heard from my semi, already know and love the Lane 8 and Gilligan Moss tracks :heart: and Billy Talent is definitely going to be a bit of a throwback, I don't remember that song as well as 'Fallen Leaves' and 'Red Flag' (both bangers btw x) but I will definitely have heard it a bunch of times because my sister used to blast out their songs from that era in the house all the time back in the day haha so it'll no doubt come right back to me when I hear it again *_* then finally I have heard the Turnstile song too, I'm hoping that one will be a grower revisiting it here as I remember liking it but not quite as much as a couple of the other singles from this album (mainly 'ALIEN LOVE CALL' and 'BLACKOUT') - after 'Yes I Need My Generator' criminally DNQed a couple of years ago I'm not sure I'd have predicted that we'd see another Turnstile entry before another Mall Grab entry! Meanwhile in the opposite semi I think 'Peppermint' is the only song I've heard and that was years ago so more or less all coming to be fresh to my ears there. I've decided to finally wheel out a song that I was first considering sending back in... I think 2015? Definitely some time before 2017 anyway, as I found when searching the site for this song that I mentioned in my CD Swap commentary then that I might still send this song 'ONE DAY', well that day has finally arrived! :lol: After RVKDTR fell heartbreakingly short of getting to inexplicably be Iceland's Eurovision artist this year I thought I'd give them some song contest exposure a different way by finally sending this, BJSC is obviously more important anyway. I listened to 'Ógeðsleg' so many times back in the day that I memorised the entire flow of all 13 (!) verses as well as memorising a lot of the lyrics (phonetically of course, for I sadly don't speak Icelandic). And I still somehow retained a lot of that when coming back to revisit the song years later. I have no idea what any of the rest of you will make of this but I still think it's an absolute banger (and they save the best verses until right near the end of the song so it just keeps building the hype level throughout the 7 minute run time x) so I will have no regrets in taking this risk x (aw at being separated from Mosquetania, not that it's a guarantee at all that you'd like this song as much as their Eurovision contender lol)
March 23, 20223 yr I also know quite a few of these! LP Giobbi and Utada have been on my playlists, Peach PRC of course I just sent a few months back and that one I liked too. Acts but not that song I know include Fear of Tigers, LYRA, mxmtoon, Night Club, Shanguy, Lane 8, Hatchie, and of course the anniversary entries! I will say I have had LP Giobbi and LYRA tracks on my potentials list for a while now, the former has definitely kickstarted into a more mainstream sound lately ;)
March 23, 20223 yr (aw at being separated from Mosquetania, not that it's a guarantee at all that you'd like this song as much as their Eurovision contender lol) It was a real chance at some good points from me so hopefully you will qualify and maybe finally get some points from me in a final! :lol: I even know Ragga from RVKDTR personally, she's such a sweetheart.
March 23, 20223 yr It was a real chance at some good points from me so hopefully you will qualify and maybe finally get some points from me in a final! :lol: I even know Ragga from RVKDTR personally, she's such a sweetheart. With the number of members in that group I guess it would be statistically more unlikely that you wouldn't know any of them personally lmao. xx
March 23, 20223 yr With the number of members in that group I guess it would be statistically more unlikely that you wouldn't know any of them personally lmao. xx I guess that's a fair assessment :lol: funny enough I know her through my sister who, as you know, has been entered into BJSC previously as well :P
March 24, 20223 yr ooh i don’t think we’ve ever opened a semi before. and this is scherzland’s first ever entry to not be sung in english! hope you pop hoes like la macarena, i can’t stop listening to it.
March 24, 20223 yr Looks like a good poppy semi! Wondering if I'm gonna kick myself for not sending No Romeo like I was with Remedy last contest. My entry feels like ~classic Hendinia and it's somewhat inspired for me :lol:
