April 28, 20241 yr NINE points lmao you guys just don't get Washed Out, it's not me it's you(s) sorry x Edited April 28, 20241 yr by Harve
April 28, 20241 yr Like I don’t know how I’m supposed to feel about this or how to put it into words It’s a mixture of things, like I haven’t been feeling any of the semis the past few months vs maybe a year ago where I’ve left listenthrougs thinking “omg this is the best thing I’ve ever heard!!!” so the burnout has been there, and these results really deflated me and made me feel disillusioned with the whole thing. I kinda hoped that some people would find that it was a good discovery for them but the numbers don’t lie so I’m left feeling kinda empty, as if I haven’t really contributed anything to the contest lately (other than being a whipping boy which like… 😵💫😵💫😵💫) Not sure where else to go tbh, if I feel like I found something that I absolutely need to send I might go for it and muster up the energy to do it but it may be curtains for me 🤷♂️
April 28, 20241 yr Sovarasma and St. Burbia out.....okay, no fun allowed I guess..... I can at least take solace in the fact Trifoski conquered the largest of obstacles yet again. Did we ever complain? Nope, we knuckled down, we persevered and we DEFIED
April 28, 20241 yr P H E W A mixture of my own pessimism and Uhsting confirming the need for pessimism really had me coming into this thread with a tense stomach. Was so sure I wasn’t gonna wind up in 22nd or something. Very relieved to have (probably) sneaked through.
April 29, 20241 yr Oh phew, I wasn't as confident as I'd have liked to be about qualifying, I wouldn't normally mind but since it's my anniversary I'm glad to be through! Surreal to be in the top 10 streaks atm, guessing my record is 8. 7 // Holland-Oats // Love Fame Tragedy - Don't You Want To Sleep With Someone Normal? 5 // Niceland // Galactus Jack - Words 3 // Herbilore // AYALA - Sorry For Nothing 2 // Conoria // Rainbow Kitten Surprise - Overtime (feat. Kacey Musgraves) Semi 1 wasn't my favorite but I'm still sad to lose 4 from my votes, especially Holland-Oats! :( Hoping Semi 2 will be more to my tastes.
April 29, 20241 yr thanks for hosting despite being poorly Silas, grab a lemsip today and hope you feel better.. thanks for putting Singerpurear's dark track through, I literally had never heard it before 2 weeks ago, and it just popped up on Youtube suggestions I might like. I did like! Sadly, I thought semi 2 might be a "nice" bloodbath, too many decent tracks to vote for and we lost these (but also some others we couldnt point): 12 points: Q 10 points: Q 8 points: Q 7 points: Suedeonia // The Auteurs - The Rubettes 6 points: Q 5 points: Altyr Muunilinst // SLASHSTREET BOYS - Love To Die 4 points: Q 3 points: Q 2 points: Q 1 points: Q

It's good to have songs like yours in the contest. I've not heard anything yet that I would listen to over and over. but I am enjoying hearing songs I would never had heard otherwise. I have found that semi final allocation impacts your results (I scraped into my only final and then got a lot more votes in the final!). That being said, I found this semi hard to take (I'm not sure if I should be offended that one of the songs in particular not only qualified over mine, but also qualified over 11 songs that I would have voted for over it....)
April 29, 20241 yr Where is the BJSC Redemption Island We need to form our own DNQ party… NO QUALIFIERS ALLOWED! At least I know I’d be in good company this month with Sovarasma, Holland-Oats and Herbilore all alongside me! :P
April 29, 20241 yr I'm not sure if I should be offended that one of the songs in particular not only qualified over mine, but also qualified over 11 songs that I would have voted for over it....) Naaah, you shouldn't... if something stands out then there's a chance that it finds both its fans and haters. In semi 2 my 31st qualified, while in semi 1 2 of my bottom 3 qualified. Sometimes some of these entries even make the top 10 in the end. In the end, as there are no minus points, you can give the exact same amount of points to your 11th fave and to the 'song' that would make your torture playlist. Poor 2x btw, I guess it's really not that instant. (Still love it, definitely my top entry this year - and just as Harve said, it's not me, it's you. xx )
April 29, 20241 yr Just checking the results now and I'm so grateful for this Q :wub: When I first competed in BJSC, I never would've expected a Q streak of six :heart: I did lose two great songs from my votes + Sovarasma & St. Burbia were really close to getting a mealworm +12 Q +10 Q +8 Q +7 Q +6 Q +5 Q +4 Lotunia // Infinity Song - Slow Burn +3 Q +2 Suedeonia // The Auteurs - The Rubettes +1 Q 11th Sovarasma 12th St. Burbia 18th Pagasa 19th Skall 21st Kyriatine 22nd Cor Lupus 25th Land of DW 29th Altyr Muunilinst 30th Aesthetica

April 29, 20241 yr Thanks Phil for hosting, hope u feel better very soon! I lost Scotland 2 from my vote (8 pts), that was a fantastic discovery and a shame it couldn't reach the final. Oh phew, I wasn't as confident as I'd have liked to be about qualifying, I wouldn't normally mind but since it's my anniversary I'm glad to be through! Surreal to be in the top 10 streaks atm, guessing my record is 8. Yep, well according to this your record Q streak was 8 - up to BJSC137. I guess you may have beaten it since though?
April 29, 20241 yr 8 is still Harmonica's record indeed - sorry again for the continuing lack of full Q streak updates, I've got a couple of months behind with updating my spreadsheet again so need to find a couple of hours to focus on getting it back up to date again soon whoops.
