Welcome to Buzzjack Rejects 2023

 

Between now and 17 April, you can vote for your top 10 rejected entries amongst 24 countries, who opted for the national selection method to select their entries. Every year, there are fan favourites that do not make it to Eurovision and it is important to recognise these songs as they are also part of the Eurovision season. These national selection entries are often great discoveries, especially in a couple of countries.

 

 

Without further ado, here are the entries: (click the entry to go to their live version, except Italy and Moldova)

06. 🇲🇹 Brooke - Checkmate

17. 🇪🇪 OLLIE - Venom

 

To vote, please submit a response using the Google form here.

 

I am planning a listenthrough on next Thursday (13/4). Hope we will have a sizeable number of people joining!

 

Deadline: 17 April 2023, 23:59 BST

I will vote in this, i didn't get round to listening to enough to compose fair nominations but a lot of the songs I liked are in here.

Now in the OP!

Alright sorry for fidgeting with the listenthrough dates but I figured out Thursday would work the best for me. Hopefully y'all could join! :)

voted, didn't want to forget this x

Link for listenthrough is here: https://sync-tube.de/room/upzSW7mG

 

Will start at 8 and hope we have people chipping in! :D

I'll listen to the rest of the songs and vote by Monday! ^_^

Yasss Roba!!

 

Thanks to the 5 people (inc. me) who voted so far :P If I can get more votes by Monday, that'd be fab xx

Voted, hopefully correctly on the form!

 

Must admit, my favourite 'reject' entry this year is from a country that doesn't usually serve the reject goods. I would have voted for Mer Av Dig by Theoz over it mind you, I think that's my ultimate reject of 2023.

Today is the last day to get your votes in!

Votado! Actually a better collection than I expected aside from the lifeless Camila Cabello demo that is Flamenco

All countries have at least got a vote! :D

Tones and I and Zara Larrson making appearances WOWWWW.

 

Almost there, will be voting shortly.

DM in ;)

I might have just voted in my first ever Eurovision event on BuzzJack! :o

Will be using this thread to present the results tonight at 9-ish. If you have any more votes, do send them over asap x

Thank you to the 12 users who voted in this contest! Here I present the score of each country, starting from the last. Apologies for the long delay but I hope y'all are excited for the reveal. :P

24. LATVIA (8 points)



8 points - Yobnedor

Supernova 2023 selected Sudden Lights to represent Latvia, who tried in 2018 but came up short to Laura Rizzotto. "Hush" is one of the two favourites to win the competition and the performances of both are pretty solid. Sadly, it is another weak year for the NS, though Sudden Lights seems to be favoured by fans. Can they defy the odds and qualify from the tough semi-final 1?

This song captured my attention instantly with the industrial sound, but it has since grown off me as the song seems to vary little. The performance is iconic though. I am a bit surprised that this finishes last but then it has received little attention on the forum, so probably I should have seen it coming.

I think that didn't deserve last at all. A decent song but her out of breath vocals probably not helping welp.
