September 29, 20222 yr Voted! Nice enough semi in terms of highlights and great discoveries (if not depth at the bottom end), there were 11 I liked enough to point so I only had to cast one aside. Overall Semi 1 has more songs that I love in it, I suspect the winner will be one of Cor Lupus (sounds big and has proven success in PJSC/multichart), Aeroche (sounds like their biggest in a while but they've just had a 2nd followed by a 5th so a winner would be the natural result but Leww's 90s-style house anthems often surprise me by finishing lower down than they deserve), and Lookylion (although that DNQ prediction for it has me doubting it a bit, I'd imagine the ABBA sound will translate - then again République d'Áskorza sounds like another side of ABBA in a way so that will no doubt impress too). I also wouldn't count out St. Burbia dominating the pop vote, it sort of feels like Dua Lipa doing Teenage Dream which I imagine is music to the sound of BJSC's ears. Elëdan is another that sounded big on first listen. Edited September 29, 20222 yr by gooddelta
September 30, 20222 yr i’m really really pleased at the hype (even if it doesn’t translate). it is by far and away my favourite song from 2022 (obsessed doesn’t cover it…) and is one of my favourite things i’ve ever sent so i was hoping people could find the big sound in it that i hear! i think it is up there as probably the most ‘me’ thing i’ve ever sent.
September 30, 20222 yr Voted. Semi 1 had enough songs which were good enough to give points to. The Kursaal Flyers song didn't register with me when I saw the list of songs but when I heard it, I remembered it from when it was in the chart.
September 30, 20222 yr Àskorza and Lookylion are the sort of pop songs I like to see in the contest! Quite a good few interesting songs in semi 1, it’ll be quite hard to order them.
September 30, 20222 yr yunè pinku <3 Only listened to s1 so far but sending hype to Fljótavík, Zanmatony (sounds like a happy hardcore remix of the Immortals 'Mortal Kombat theme'??) and Singerpurear and ofc big hype to Aeroche- I didn't realise that the guys behind this were previously Amen! UK who were behind the 1997 Top 20 banger- “Passion”. Looking forward to getting locked into s2 later.
September 30, 20222 yr Àskorza and Lookylion are the sort of pop songs I like to see in the contest! I agree -_-
September 30, 20222 yr How does this BJSC FM work then? Do people chat on Discord while it’s streaming??
September 30, 20222 yr That's what we did for the semi 1 listenthrough yes! Link again for the Discord chat for the semi 2 listenthrough if anyone needs it (assuming we're starting at 7:30 on the dot again?), using the bjsc-listening-sesh-chat channel as usual https://discord.gg/NdHpv2RP
September 30, 20222 yr CHEZ HA WOMBAT!!!!! :angry: AND TIM!!! :angry: I SAW WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT MY CHEAPNESS ON DISCORD!!! :angry:
September 30, 20222 yr Sorry to be a bit thick (again) but is it the 12 points or 18 points system for this set of voting? TIA x
September 30, 20222 yr Have now voted in both semis! I am a huge Tom Vek fan so was thrilled to see that Mark had sent him (an early Cumulonimbia DNQ artist from 2014..), my other major hype going to Thelonia for something that I've had on my potentials for some time but thought that Kath may get there first, also to Cor Lupus for a recent #2 on my chart that sounds like a lost Kylie Minogue single from the early 2000s and Kathaldazia for another absolute rammer. Quite the bloodbath in this semi.

October 1, 20222 yr Have now voted in both semis!

October 1, 20222 yr Author I'm going to be busy all day to keep updating and keeping track of things. SO, I'm extending the deadline by 12 hours to 12pm on Sunday 2nd October (that's midday, not midnight, I will not take responsibility for any confusion), so an additional 12 hours on what you did have. Because of this, I won't accept any votes after that time, you won't get a 15% deduction, it will be the full 33%. We're still waiting on 39 voters to send their votes, I've listed them below: Still to vote: AQ's (0/2) - SEMI 1 (14/31) Aeroche Bhangra Danæviia East Rukahavian Fljótavík Greenfroze Kyriatine Land Of DW Mulgracia New Lexico Niceland Oslol Republic of Adonia Republique d'Askorza Suedeonia Summericia Zanmatony SEMI 2 (21/31) Aelandor Aquafina Beaverdonia D'yermak'er Eastovka Eledan FARC Flynnonda Harmonica Jupiterdonia Kathaldazia Kluminican Republic Lotunia POPHub Pagasa Persephonia St. Burbia Tartford Terra Avium Trifoski Utopia Wholune
