July 17, 20231 yr Oop quite a fall back for OBIC there. Thrilled though that Bicstan, Shot A Friend and Choreograph made it through, my three favourite entries I sent last year :wub:

July 17, 20231 yr And a great batch to end on with Nur Jaber indeed making it too + big overperformances for major faves from Yoko Kanno and Slowdive (plus Hagop Tchaparian to a lesser extent) :o INJI is a good one too and has grown on me more since the contest. Bizarrap was another one I considered giving my 1 point in the nominations so again a little unlucky to miss out. These were my nominations that have missed out: 141 +3 Sovarasma // Helene Bøksle and Sindre Hotvedt - Vega +2 Trifoski // Jockstrap - 50/50 +1 N DNTN // Sega Bodega - Naturopathe (feat. Charlotte Gainsbourg) 142 +7 Jadakissnia // Acid Fader - Keelhauling +5 Zanmatony // Transa - Timeless +3 Cumulonimbia // The Range - Bicameral +2 Kathaldazia // Lawrence Hart and Ryan Winters - LDN VBZ +1 Sovarasma // SARAPATA - Fikus (feat. Jakub Żytecki) 143 +7 Fljótavík // Two Shell - home +3 Cumulonimbia // Rakky Ripper - Piscis +2 Utopia // Turnstile - FLY AGAIN +1 Scherzland // Janie - La Macarena 144 +7 Land of DW // Temple Invisible - Stardust +3 Greenfroze // TOKYO GEGEGAY - OUTSIDER +2 Pestolia // Four Phonica - Human All Too Human +1 Jadakissnia // Ed Harrison - Tachi 145 +3 Aelandor // Holding Absence - Gravity 146 +5 Séyetana // Goat Girl - Sad Cowboy +3 Pestolia // Tennis - Runner +2 Lotunia // Wiyaala - When The Lord Get Us Ready +1 N DNTN // KUČKA - Messed Up 147 +5 Pestolia // Mahawam - Hoping No One Notice +2 Trifoski // CAPSULE - JUMPER 148 +7 Thelonia // Effy - Not Yours +5 FARC // Juicy Romance - Hummer +3 Jadakissnia // She Pleasures Herself - Trust +1 Harmonica // Turnstile - MYSTERY 149 +5 Cumulonimbia // klurax - u me forever +3 Dobago // Gost - Maleficarum +2 Bøtanikkä // 070 Shake - Cocoon +1 Suedeonia // Rita & The Tiaras - Gone With The Wind Is My Love 150 +2 Jadakissnia // Oscillian - Ulysses 31 +1 Utopia // Sprints - Literary Mind Seems like a decent spread of qualifiers here - some contests that felt very in tune with my taste but several others that had the classic TBO pop bias. (and of course the list of winners for the year was very pop heavy too). Will keep BJSC FM on while it gets through the rest of the songs from this, hope I'll hear at least one of my two x thanks for hosting Rob!
July 17, 20231 yr Slowdive?! :o *.* That's a nice surprise and Von going through as well despite low finishes initially is wonderful, that's a very good haul for me given how little representation in the final I had and I certainly have a few big favourites I can continue to root for in the semis.

July 17, 20231 yr Author Semis will come tomorrow. Format: * 40 entries each * Each semi will consists of 5 AQ, 5 entries that finished 1st in this round, 5 entries that finished 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th respectively. No such thing as a stronger semi final as it's all seeded evenly. * Countries with multiple entries will have their entries seperated to avoid having all of their entries in the same semi final. * 12/10/8/7/6/5/4/3/2/1 format. * -15 deduction for anyone who fails to vote. Enjoy the beginning of BJSC 156 and I'll be back with you tomorrow!
July 17, 20231 yr No BJSC FM play for Nur Jaber aw but 1 out of 2 not bad x Was great to hear 'Right To Riot' again as I don't think I have actually heard it since the original contest! Also liked the very seamless transition between 'von' and 'MADELINE' xx
July 17, 20231 yr Your qualifiers are... GREENFROZE // REONA - SHALL WE DANCE? (originally finished 29th) 2022 was the first and only year ever that I exclusively sent Japanese songs. It's also one of my most successful and most enjoyable years of entries as well. I absolutely love my 2022 songs! :wub: That being said, I have generally done very poorly in TBO contests over the years, and I didn't have high hopes this time either. If any of my entries would qualify, I reckoned it would be either 'Outsider' or 'Iceblink'. I was really hoping that they would qualify! 'Shall We Dance?', though, was one of my songs that I would NOT predict to be my only qualification here. My jaw literally dropped! I am happy, but I am really, really surprised!
July 17, 20231 yr Didn't expect Initi8 to qualify but that's cool to have multiple entries make the cut.
July 25, 20231 yr Right to Riot made it through! Half of my favourite FLJ entries from last year made it in despite my lack of votes so very chuffed with that ^_^ I will definitely try to vote in the semi finals
