Monday at 22:291 day Author 43 confirmations now... keep them coming!More really fantastic entries have been filtering through in the last couple of days so it's not a contest anyone will want to miss out on if you are in search of great discoveries to round off your musical year!
Yesterday at 11:541 day Why does confirmations week always go by much slower than voting weeks? Since picking my song I've been waiting for the song reveal thread like:I'm ready to perform ~
Yesterday at 12:351 day Author True. There's not been much drama this month yet to make it go more quickly (or vetoes, to prompt further discussion, but I'm not ruling those out).Sure it will all kick up a gear when the semis kick off, featuring FIVE returning nations so far and the prospect of debuting nations too!
Yesterday at 13:021 day We almost got Dalisska back too.Sabrewulf and I occasionally chat BJSC, and I know I made it seem in another thread like he has all these negative opinions about BJSC, but people are complex and fluid and he did say that he'd like to enter this contest, but a few days ago he changed his mind. 🤠He also takes part in another song contest and maybe he doesn't want the pressure of two. Also he doesn't have access to the email he signed up with so it might be a bit of a process for him to come back here.I told him gooddelta won and he said you're one of the few he remembers well. 😄Fun fact: He told me 'Luukered' also won his song contest some time ago!
Yesterday at 13:201 day Author That would be delightful to see Sabrewulf return at some point! Dalisska had some classic entries back in the day.But it's understandable that more than one contest across different forums would be quite a time investment. I know several people here do PJSC on Popjustice too. A few of us did for some time participate in a contest on another forum (definitely myself, Silas and maybe Jerick and some others, maybe around 2010, but I cannot remember anything about what the forum or contest was called). But I'm happy to keep my participation to the many Buzzjack contests.Any more returnees are very welcome here, and also a fair few nations from last month are still yet to confirm.

23 hours ago23 hr Sabrewolf single handedly responsible for my Kate Miller Heidke obsession back in the day. These Words is still a banger.@matto - if it’s only email that is the hold up then Joseph can support to update the email associated with the account. A lot of people were locked out when the site upgraded and we all suddenly had to remember what 15 year old email address we had used 😅

That forum doesn't exist anymore, but I have a folder with my votes, some results tables and images of national flags and stuff like that. From what I can tell, we had 19 participants at most and it lasted for 34 contests. I think I won at least three times :)I can see that you sent Vaporous by Elsiane to VESC 10 (1st. place with 61 points and more 10s.), Eisblumen by Eisblume to VESC 11, Flawed by Delta Goodrem to VESC 12 (9th place with 55 points), Cool Vibes by Vanilla Ninja to VESC 13 and finally Toss the Feathers by The Corrs to the Live performances spin-off.We did VESC awards too in 2010 and 2011, where we voted for things like "Most Original Country", "Most Original Song", "Best country thread", "Best Country Flag", "Best Discovery", "Best contest", "Best Host", "Song I never want to hear again" and "Worst moment". Good fun! Edited 20 hours ago20 hr by Freeze
22 hours ago22 hr Author Oh yes, Vanity Edge! The name was on the tip of my tongue but I couldn't remember it. I did also send Vaporous here (where it came 7th, had forgotten that it won there - does that mean I hosted the 11th contest there?), Eisblumem I sent to something or other I'm sure here too, and Toss The Feathers to a spin-off I think. I have never reused Flawed anywhere or Cool Vibes, although that is a Eurovision entry so wouldn't really qualify for entry in anything here.
22 hours ago22 hr Oh my gosh, I did Vanity Edge Song Contest for a bit too 🤠I wasn't sure if that was the one you were talking about.

We must have missed our contest fix so much that several of us went to another forum's contest temporarily.Did you see btw that one of your 2013 entries, Unlike Me by Kate Havnevik, has recently been going viral on TikTok (particularly the cyber$tar mix), so a new EP of mixes has been released on Spotify this week! Blast from the past. Edited 22 hours ago22 hr by gooddelta

Blast from the past.Possibly yeah, it would've been around 2010 that I was taking part. I don't remember much about the contest itself though, like how many I entered or even if I ever won.Nah, I don't see that many TikTok-related things lmao so I had no idea about that! Interesting though.Sabrewulf is now in the process of potentially coming back (I messaged Joseph), but it's not a guarantee and it probably wouldn't be this edition yet sadly.
20 hours ago20 hr Vanity Edge defo rings a Bell. A very old and rusty bell I had long forgotten about
20 hours ago20 hr Confirmed, I've done a 180 only in the sense I've pivoted back to a sound quite expected from me after the last few being a bit against type x
19 hours ago19 hr Submitted the most hated song of BJSC 180 🥰As my goal for 2025 was EOY Top 30, I thought that I can finally send something (very) risky. I hope it finds its not-too-many fans (and I hope not all of them will be in the other semi).

No doubt you sent Tone Damli if I sent Delta!
