November 6, 2024Nov 6 Congrats Chez!!! I really liked 'Screamland' even if it didn't make my votes, it's a great winner! Hendinia and Aeroche rounding out an excellent top 3. Mixed results for my pop faves, Botanikka in particular deserved better. Land Of DW improved nicely as the results went on, glad they secured a top 15 finish. Shout out to Mothertopia's entry as I'm in awe that an ode to Nicole Scherzinger even exists *.* And I'm sorry to see Macromia in last, it was a great discovery for me so thank you Miri for sending it! I'm not going to complain about 38th as I felt lucky to make it to the finals at all. Most of the points I received were double-digits so clearly it had several big fans! Much appreciated ^_^ Thanks Leww for hosting! You're an expert at this point but way to go keeping the suspense up right until the end.
November 6, 2024Nov 6 Congrats on the win Terra Avium. I hadn't heard any Father John Misty stuff before, but it has made me want to listen to more. It finished just outside of my votes along with Taahino's entry. Loooooove that my 18 pointer did well, especially towards the end. On a personal note, glad to see my entry scored as many as/more separate votes than some countries that qualified. Gives me hope for future competitions.
November 6, 2024Nov 6 Congrats Chez! Unfortunately another MEH winner though (but not as if TRUST! would have been any better so...) Happy to see Fljótavík & Sovarasma in the top 10 with a very un-BJSC entries, especially the latter. Destroying the myth that afrobeats can't do well here :cheer: I think the biggest shock for me was not even getting a point from Eastovka :snif: thought this entry would have been right up their street! Will definitely take top half though as I was 50/50 on whether it'd even qualify. Also, I thought semi 2 was really bad overall with the only big highlight being Aelandor and even they only just scraped through. Some real taste malfunctioning going on this month... But great hosting Leww, this theme was rad!
November 6, 2024Nov 6 Congratulations Chez on the win, that was absolutely a fantastic song!! :w00t: :w00t: It's a very well-deserved 2nd win and well done to Hendinia coming close at 2nd x Absolutely over the moon that I came top 10 with an afrobeats entry, and through a national final too. Huge thank you to all the voters and the 10+ points. I was really surprised at me doing better in the final than in the semi, after all I thought I got out of a favourable semi :o It's amazing to see me defy the odds for 2 editions in a row and I am looking forward to doing that again next edition, though in current times I think the song I'm sending is going to reflect the monstrosity that is happening today :( Thanks Leww for a wonderful edition with a lovely theme x

But great hosting Leww, this theme was rad! Lol real taste malfunctionining (that is a new fave quote of mine). I'll be honest, I need someone to explain to me how certain songs qualified. Rebecca Black is an interesting one for me. I liked the song. Didn't love it but liked it. It kind of lucked into points with me as it got 1pt from me in the semi and then rose in the final - due to me losing higher scoring songs in my semi/me not really connecting with much from the other semi's qualifiers. Great to see her releasing music and getting recognition though
November 6, 2024Nov 6 Shocked that POPHub didn’t make top 10! Legit sounds like the pop buzzjack loves (or loved when I was still relevant) There's been a pop entry that I thought would smash coming 16th-20th in every contest recently. POPHub this time, Askorza last contest, Alice Chater the contest before. I think it definitely speaks to the ~alt side of BJSC being more uniformed than the poppier side. Obviously, it's not split down the middle of two camps, as there's a decently sized dance side too but I think even the tightness of the top 2 and how different they both are, really speaks to there being quite an even split. It probably is also worth mentioning POPHub would've made top 10 if the non-voters had've voted, cos I'm 100% sure Ramrynia would've given it 18 and Kyriatine clearly enjoyed it too.
November 6, 2024Nov 6 ^^ It also explains CXLOE not cracking Top 20 as well (just saw it finished #4 in semis), considering it got 12 in semis from Kyriatine. Can't complain btw with #22, it just fell little short of what I expected, which was Top 20!!!
November 6, 2024Nov 6 Well done Chez! Loved this theme so much Leww, thank you for your perfect hosting x

Many thanks to everyone who voted for Eryima and a special shout out to Ajanaeda, Mothertopia og Aesthetica for the whopping 13 points! :dance: Despite placing last I'm still happy with getting to the finals and still getting a decent amount of votes. Very well done presentation too, Leww, it was super exciting to read through! :D
November 8, 2024Nov 8 Congratulations Chez for the win! Thanks Miri, Mothertopia, Dobbo, Hushkanukia, Pete, NocheLuna, Tartford, Colm, Suede, Addy, RobBot, Freeze, Seven, Cadelica, Herbs, LexC, Hinterland, and the host Leww for the final votes. Really appreciate it! ^_^
November 11, 2024Nov 11 A little bit late to the party. I could follow the final but couldn't really comment. Thank you very much for all the points and a 23rd place is quite good for Blank & Jones. Next time I go back to fresh new music :D Also thank you Leww for the great hosting! and congratulations for Terra Avium for the win!
