Back before the site redesign we could just put in the thread subtitle what page the scoreboard/spreadsheets were on but that functionality got removed sadly...

Could also edit the main title I guess (not saying this one has to be edited, but it's a possibility for future)

I think putting it into the first post as well as keeping the tags updated should be enough.

Girlies, we are potentially days away from the return of Pagasa

I’ll edit the OP @nine¾

(Even though I want everyone to read this whole of a mess of a thread )

Just to clearify I meant the spreadsheet link for both semi-finals and the final. 😂😂

Oh that is a fantastic outcome, my 18 winning! <3 Congrats Harve, I only saw the discussion about it today and would've never thought it could win, it's my favourite discovery in BJSC in a long time and I really must check out the full album. Some of my big pointers from Sovarasma, Jadakissnia, Eledan and Lentyll in the top 10 too is great to see. I didn't like this one as much as her last entry, but quite neat that Dani Sylvia got another 2nd place right after her last one.

33rd for a sixth (!) time it is then, again I knew this one could well get lost in the fray so I'm just glad it wasn't lower, thanks to all who voted, especially @Colm for that top pointer <3 If you don't already know them and liked this one, I would also recommend Sail and Find Love which were new releases this year (this one is an older track finally made available on streaming from their compilation of non-singles and fan favourites From a Hole in the Floor to a Fountain of Youth, which was a pretty good introduction to them for me x).

Thank you Addy, always a great flight experience! Unusually for me, I do actually have a song lined up for next time and it's got a familiar Terra Avium style to it, so let's see if it can break my middling streak x

I don't know them. Utterly wonderful vocal. It was way ahead of anything else. I was expecting a much better result for you.

Wow I’m really surprised you don’t know of them Colm! They definitely have some great tracks in their back catalogue if you do decide to delve further

Congratulations Harve, it's always a rare treat to have your 18 winning but though I kinda called it, amazing to see it happening with 7 others alongside me giving it the top marks and enough to win comfortably; utterly beautiful track and will go down as an excellent winner, long overdue after loving 'Pyrrhic' for years and of course Skall have had a few close calls that I wish had won over the years so great to see this one break through.

Thanks for the great hosting all the way through Addy, unfortunate for me that I didn't do very well (undeserved, my song is still incredible) but I will aim to convince more people to pay attention to my song next contest x

Ah, ALMOST in the top 10!!!

Thank you for voting for ENCORE! from Nelly Furtado herself

I will get rather busy with work/volunteering from 22nd August onwards but if it's possible to do so on a tight-ish timeline then I'd be happy to host!

The sooner, the better for me, so I hope the mods are happy with that hehe. I'm away at the end of next month!

I know people think I don’t like instrumentals but Skall was in and out of my votes through multiple listens!

Eledan would have been the same if I’d based it purely on the second half of the song!

Are you telling me that you actually did listen to the whole thing

EDIT:

I thought you just skip them like everyone else ;)

Joking obviously.

In the listen through yes

And then I skipped the first half on future listens!!!

Congrats @Harve grew on me so much and just missed out on my votes im so sorry but you didn't need little old me points, you did so well!

Great hosting @Addy! you did great loved the twist with the Eurovision style reveal mixed with everyone's 18's!

Tbh I am not upset with my outcome, I didn't expect to qualify, ill take 38th place, thank you to all the countries who did vote for and like Sub-Radio, Its honestly one of the most catchiest indie pops song's i've heard in a long time.

I know the name. And I probably gave them a listen. I honestly stopped listening to much new music about a decade ago. Apparently some people gradually get less and less out of new music as they get older. I am one of those people.

Do you ever see my posting in the indie rock forum? I don't even view that forum any more. 😕

Just catching up.

From 17th in the semi with 56 to 13th in the final with 203 is wild - hopefully means it grew on people?! Chuffed with that anyway for a first dive into BJSC. Thanks for the 18 and plenty of other strong support.

My bosses in New Helvetica like that sort of female folky storytelling even more than Julian does so expect more of the same…

Thrilled for our 18 to have won - congratulations @Harve and great to see most of our top favourites doing very well.
