Posted December 22, 20222 yr Wardy has designated me as the person to open such a hallowed thread. It's your time to become the prophet, blessing nations for a fruitful year and condemning others for a year of snubs and floppery. What do you think will happen in BJSC, including the spin-offs? I will go first...Persephonia and Jadakissnia both win at least once.Either one of Pagasa, Singerpurear, Suedeonia, Eastovka, Buzzjack Mountain will win at least once.A foreign language entry will win at least once.BJFest to return with République d'Áskorza winning.Zanmatony will send an entry that goes on to achieve a UK Top 40 peak.Greenfroze will win with an entry that I will have given 18 points to.Kathaldazia will win the best song contest host, and the winner of the edition she hosts will be a track she gives more than 10 points to.1 new country will debut and begin with last place in the semi, then get a top 10 in the following edition.Sovarasma will not qualify 4 times at least.Pop bloc will retain their strong form.Give us your FOTS Edited December 22, 20222 yr by uhsting
December 22, 20222 yr Someone who has won but not for a very long time will be among next year's winners. But no debuts.
December 22, 20222 yr Two of Kluminican Republic, Persephonia, Terra Avium, Cumulonimbia and Kathaldazia will win. One of Lookylion, Bhangra, Greenfroze or Quintessa will also win. FARC, Aeroche and Altyr will all get one each, but ONE of these will also suffer two DNQs during the year. Cor Lupus will win once, or come extremely close, but at least two winners from other nations will be songs on their potentials list. Botanikka will have a big comeback year with multiple top 10 hits. A 10 minute-plus long song will breach the top three. Jade will fail to win any spin-offs but will have her biggest year yet in the main contest. Zanmatony will have a big top five hit. East Rukahavian will switch to an unexpected genre at some point and bag a top ten nobody sees coming. One of the winners will be decided on a tie-break between a slightly cheap pop song and a niche track that racks up the 18s. The pop song wins as it has more voters and causes an uproar. At least five of the top three finishers will have been discussed as potential vetoes before slipping through and soaring to success. At least three PJSC winners will be recycled from there and turn up, most will do well but one is a huge flop. République d'Áskorza will manage their biggest hit in years as they strike gold with a hit that's big in Germany. A major nation (one from this year's EOY top 10) will shockingly score under 20 points in a semi final when their song ends up with a completely unsuitable semi draw. Summericia's streak of qualifiers will continue for a while yet.
December 22, 20222 yr As mentioned already Persephonia and FSR Rontvia will manage their first win in YEARS. Aeroche bag 2 winners also. Harmonica manage 2 or 3 Top 10's Mulgracia score one big hit all year and also manage to Qualify for 7/10 contests whilst dnqing at 21st two times. East Rukahavian don't end up last at all in the semi and grab 2 top 20's. A rock song finishes in the top 3 for either Seyetana, Wholune or Aelandor Ojnoj return to drum up several top 10's A successful country in BJSC will embark on more of a floppy year but not necessarily DNQ. Also among the nations winning we also get one of either Kathaldazia, Thelonia, Cumulonimbia, Dobago, Eastovka or Singerpurear! The last place in the semi will receive just 2 points never getting a wooden spoon all year. Summericias Q Streak ends somewhen (a definite I'd say as another year is probably impossible!) Cor Lupus receive a close win, 2 top 5's, 4 top 20's and a last place finalist.
December 22, 20222 yr • I don’t see this stronghold that the “old guard” has had on the contest will last much longer, I think the dominating countries next year will be ones that have debuted from 2015 onwards. • probably two new countries the entire year, neither of which will make a big splash but stick around regardless. • Yobnedorica will have a mildly successful year a la Sovarasma 2022/Tartford 2018 • Jadakissnia gets a win during the next three months, kickstarting a massive comeback year for them • I think République d'Áskorza have gone under the radar for far too long, surely a slew of smashes is in their future? • A J-pop song goes top 10 • Debut wins from Zanmatony and Cumulonimbia • Two BJSC entries, either from 2022 or 2023, will end up charting IRL • Bray fails to keep up with the YTD again and we get another rushed Year-End update thread :kink: Idk if I have any forecasts for Cor Lupus, we kinda dodged the “questionable future” part after winning so I’d say we’d just continue being the Maroon 5 of BJSC - a few smashes and moderate success but shoddy reputation amongst the rest of the participants, all while the material is “aggressively mid”.
December 25, 20222 yr It's taken me a while, but here are my prophecies for each current participating nation of 2023; Aelandor will achieve a Top 10 position with a song over 8 minutes in length Aeroche will maintain their run of good form but have a month out from the contest Aesthetica will sabotage one of their entries by forgetting to vote in the final Altyr Muunilinst will win with an artist that goes on to feature on a major UK dance single Aquafina will return with a bang and will come second with a veto-worthy entry Arcodesia will receive maximum points from both Jadakissnia & Persephonia this year Beaverdonia will avoid any contest bans for failing to vote on time and will co-host a contest Ben's Sanctuary will qualify for half the contests they participate in this year Bhangra will send an entry that at least two other nations try to confirm Bøtanikkä will revisit the past with an inspired entry that goes on to achieve 9 +18 votes Buzzjack Mountain will decide not to participate at all in 2023 Cadelicia will qualify at least three times, and once with a pop group Cor Lupus will give points to all the winners of 2023, and avoids any vetoes Cumulonimbia will host one contest in 2023 with an auto-qualifier in the mix D’yermak’er will win BJSC for the very first time in the first half of 2023 Danæviia will bravely send an entry they recorded themselves and it qualifies Dobago will qualify at least three times with instrumental entries East Rukahavian will experiment by sending a sports anthem and it does well Eastovka will take the dreaded wooden spoon at least once but also achieve a new peak Elëdan will recycle an artist from Hendinia or New Lexico and does better than them FARC will win with a Eurovision style entry and achieve over 400 points Fljótavík will stage a protest against Terra Avium and refuse to take part that month Florina will send a song that goes on to be a UK Top 40 hit Flynnonda will have a fairly uneventful year, but they participate every time without fail Freedonia will make a brief return but it is short lived, and then they never participate again FSR Rontvia will send at artist who goes on to have a UK Top 5 album in 2023 Greenfroze will surprise everyone by winning BJSC for the first time after the leading nation sabotages their victory when the final votes are revealed Harmonica will send a Christian rock song that goes on to be a Top 10 finisher in the final Hendinia will bring back BJSC FM to the joy of everybody and achieve major success Hushkanukia will sadly decide to retire from BJSC by the end of 2023 Ingermanlandia will continue to participate in BJSC and qualify most of the time Jadakissnia will not win in 2023 but they will co-host with a winning nation and have a dark song auto-qualify Jupiterdonia will qualify for every contest they enter and feature twice in The Best Of for 2023 Kathaldazia will defy the odds from RontBet, DanBet and others by claiming their first victory Kingdom of Horanius will only participate once in 2023 and will qualify Kluminican Republic will manage to finish in the Top 10 every contest in 2023 Kylienips will set a new record for most points achieved in a semi-final Kyriatine will finish in second place one time but will finish third twice Land of DW will only fail to qualify once in 2023 Lookylion will not win in 2023 but they will host again, and they may win a spin-off Lotunia will send the best performing K-Pop entry of 2023, Cor Lupus gives it 18 final points Mulgracia will take another break in 2023 but when they return they achieve their best result N DNTN will have a slender victory, pipping the favourite entry to the podium New Lexico will twice confirm entries that Altyr Muunilinst tried to confirm after Niceland will try a new direction in 2023 and it pays off hugely for them Ojnoj will succeed in sending a TikTok craze to BJSC and qualify to the final Oslol will go through a rebranding, changing country name to be more on par with their vision Pagasa will surprise many by being the most consistent nation of 2023 Persephonia will actually approve of all BJSC winners of 2023, giving points to all of them Pestolia will achieve a new best record for their nation toward the end of 2023 PopHub will share every semi final of the year with St. Burbia but never give them points Quintessa will have a dip in form in the first half of 2023 but start to improve by the second half Republic of Adonia will avoid any deductions in 2023 by voting on time every time République d’Áskorza will be the first nation to retire from the moderator team in 2023 Rolloland will qualify with a song from the 70’s that is under 10 minutes long Scherzland will struggle this year to get many qualifiers, but the ones they do will perform well Séyetana will host a contest this year and might win a spin-off contest too Singerpurear will draw in a generation of new fans with their retro inspired entry this Summer Skall will become the latest nation in a short time to achieve 0 points in their semi-final Sovarasma will come second with a dance entry and get an auto-qualifier for the next contest St. Burbia will continue to send cheap pop songs that do reasonably well Suedeonia will avoid finishing in the bottom 10 for each contest they qualify Summericia will delay their hiatus until at least April citing personal reasons Taahino will return with a gothic entry that goes on to become a mainstream hit Tartford will recycle an artist sent by Bøtanikkä and achieve a better finishing position Terra Avium will not fail to qualify for the duration of 2023 but they do vote late once The Actual Republic of Bellamia will confirm an artist that he sees live once in 2023 Thelonia will send some very experimental entries, including one that wins the contest Trifoski will come second at the start of the year, but DNQ twice at the end of the year Ultraviolenceland will make at least two appearances and both qualify Utopia will only get better and better by the end of 2023 as a genuine title contender Varakë will return with a entry that manages to achieve less than 20 points in their semi-final Wholune will confirm a song from one of their favourite albums of all time Yehesi will qualify with a dance song and finish last in the final Yobnedorica will be the rising star of 2023, gaining in popularity and achieving great success In addition to these; One of Avalonia, Chestoria, Ramrynia or Tinnmark to make a return in 2023. More to follow before 2023 begins.
December 25, 20222 yr Some interesting predictions there Wardy, mine is a intriguing one especially, we'll see. Avalonia won't return cause Regina is banned the last I saw so that's one return that won't be happening oops.
December 25, 20222 yr Yes, Regina is banned thank god so we won’t be seeing an Avalonia return ever 🤷♂️ MANIFESTING A RAMRYNIA RETURN FORTHWITH Cor Lupus will give points to all the winners of 2023…so then y’all better bring it 💅 I can already see a huge K-pop rookie group that debuted this year (Kep1er, LE SSERAFIM, NewJeans) getting sent soon

More to follow before 2023 begins. Wow that’s detailed and yaaaaas at mine!
December 25, 20222 yr That'd be a very abrupt turnaround from 2022 if the prediction for me comes true but I can hope x (Greenfroze have already won twice btw :kink:)
December 25, 20222 yr Author Love the detail Wardy! You predicting me to come 2nd with a dance entry hmm :thinking: That could only happen in the second half of 2023 considering my first half theme is pop :kink:
December 25, 20222 yr You can always just decide to not do that especially as your taste in non-pop music is significantly better
December 25, 20222 yr Now that's dedication! Bold prediction there though, my BJSC timekeeping hasn't suffered much thus far despite many years of full time work and travel x Omg just seen the Fljotavik one too...?! My iron fist will never be deterred by protests xx
December 25, 20222 yr Avalonia won't return cause Regina is banned the last I saw so that's one return that won't be happening oops. Ah I guess I didn’t think that one through properly then, but I did state it would be one of the four, so now make that one of three! ;) (Greenfroze have already won twice btw :kink:) Ah my bad I thought I checked this carefully, well then this will be their third victory to come! Now that's dedication! Bold prediction there though, my BJSC timekeeping hasn't suffered much thus far despite many years of full time work and travel x Omg just seen the Fljotavik one too...?! My iron fist will never be deterred by protests xx I am intrigued to see how these pan out, the timekeeping does feel a bit off par with you so that’s why it’s a noteworthy event in your year! As for the Fljótavík protest, I will leave the details of this protest to be revealed in due course. ;)
December 26, 20222 yr • Jadakissnia gets a win during the next three months, kickstarting a massive comeback year for them Jadakissnia will not win in 2023 :kink:
