I think the production is ok, but I wouldn't say this is one of my favourite entries of yours, but I can see how it's very of its time, and why it did well. Not sure it would do as well if it was sent this year, but congratulations on a well-deserved winner.BJSC 82: Poison Ivory - Alchemy⭐️⭐️Didn't really feel this one but it's quirky and quite mysterious for a pop song. She does remind me vocally of another singer I've recently heard in BJSC but I can't recall who now. BJSC 83: Ecca Vandal - Father Hu$$la⭐️⭐️⭐️It feels like Deandria really stepped away from their roots this year, perhaps they were on a journey of self-discovery, but this Jessie J wannabe sounds like she's having fun doing what she does, so I gave her three stars. I probably would have overlooked it at the time, but there are elements here that I do like, so it's definitely creative and unique!BJSC 84: Anna and the Barbies - Álmatlan⭐️⭐️Sadly not hitting the spot for me. I like that there are both male and female vocals on it though, that's rare for BJSC nowadays. The production is rather dreamy though, I will definitely acknowledge that. I think I sent my first Hungarian artist to BJSC earlier this year!BJSC 85: Tzlil - Oh My Love⭐️⭐️⭐️This has a nice pace to it. I like the production a lot and I could definitely have seen something like this appearing in my votes at the time if I was participating. I'd say this is my favourite from this year's entries so far, and it's a shame you forgot about it, it's quite cheerful and upbeat and it's a nice discovery for me in 2026.BJSC 86: Blackbriar - Until Eternity⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I was looking forward to giving this one a listen, I think I know of the artist from somewhere, maybe a soundtrack from the past or something. It showcases a new direction for Deandria, and at last we hear depth and range, and a whole lot of drums and guitars! I like the music video too. Great work Deandria on a deserved qualifier! Would you ever go back to this sound again one day?BJSC 87: NOËP - Move⭐️⭐️⭐️Sounds like a return to dance music, albeit a tamer version, but I can certainly remember back to when a lot of music like this existed in the charts too. I would probably have come round to it at the time too. Just spotted it's an Estonian artist! That's great, looking forward to the next Estonian entry one day.BJSC 88: Maya's Moving Castle - When You Wish Upon The Stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Oh this sounds very retro and whimsical. An entry I could definitely see me getting behind again. I love the Bat For Lashes comparisons too. It makes me very annoyed that I joined one contest too late tp give this points and change that 24th position in the semi to a 20th to see it in the final! Zanmatony's debut was just a contest away from ruining everything for Deandria!

This is something I enjoy listening to just on my own at home while vibing, and it's good to be able to share those kinds of songs in the contest. Not everything has to be so 'obvious' and 'big' sounding.The entry I've just confirmed has both male and female vocals btw.13 minutes ago, awardinary said:BJSC 86: Blackbriar - Until Eternity⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I was looking forward to giving this one a listen, I think I know of the artist from somewhere, maybe a soundtrack from the past or something.

Not ruling out going back to that sound someday though, depends on the song.13 minutes ago, awardinary said:BJSC 87: NOËP - Move⭐️⭐️⭐️Sounds like a return to dance music, albeit a tamer version, but I can certainly remember back to when a lot of music like this existed in the charts too.
