i must also say it hit 36 here today

 

too f***ing hot with all this humidity and no air con

Ashton's reservation position for XV

 

It is Ashton's intention to send Alex Roots to the 15th Buzzjack Song Contest as it has been previously announced.

 

Due to a time zone shift the ASC was unavailable at the time of the opening of the Confirmation Thread and MKL has reserved Alex.

 

 

The ASC and the GRA both are giving a period of 5days grace to MKL after which Ashton will use any force it deems necessary to acquire what it wants.

 

In the meantime the Sugababes have been provisionally confirmed by the country.

Ashton's Shock Change

 

The ASC has shocked the Republique d'Ashton by confirming Australian band Puretone as Ashton's representative for the 15th BJSC. 'Addicted To Bass' will be representing the mighty Ashton in what will be their 15th contest also in the grand nation of FSR Rontvia.

 

In a statement, the ASC told MKL to shove Alex where the sun don't shine. The statement also read "It's fucking rude and down right ignorant to go around stealing other peoples entries. If MKL do enter Alex, they can be sure that they won't get a single point from Ashton"

Song switch

 

Ashton has sensationally switched their entry from Addicted To Bass to Stuck In A Groove both my Australian dance artist Puretone.

 

Known in his native Australia by his real name Josh G. Abrahams, he released international under the name of Puretone to avoid confusion with long time Limp Bizkit producer Josh Abrahams. Vocalist, Amiel Daemion, features on much of the former Ashtonise #1 album which goes by the name of Stuck In A Groove. Thrillseeker and Headroom were also released in Ashton to much success.

 

The full reasons behind the switch are unknown, but in a statement the ASC said they felt Stuck In A Groove would perform better than Addicted To Bass. Which they felt was too well known and too recent to be a forgotten hit. The ASC is hoping that the former UK #27 will out perform the #2 Addicted To Bass.

 

The ASC has brought out it's new promo banner early featuring the new tagline "Bring Ashton it's debut victory. Vote for the best thing to come out of Australia" Replacing the former 'Ashton - The Most Successful Country Yet To Win BJSC'

 

It is hoped that Ashton will break the 1000 points barrier this month, currently 5points away some insiders from the ASC have set a realistic target of 1100 this month. They feel that Puretone has the potential to beat the current Ashtonise points record of 109points.

Could Ashton be going Australian for some time??

 

Reports from the ASC state that Ashton will only be sending Australain artists until at least July.

 

The document released to the Ashtonise press ahead of the countries first Elections details Ashtons plans through to the 20th contest although sources say that the ASC has an outline that extends all the way to the 25th contest, something the ASC neither confirmed or denied.

 

The release states that Ashton has a wide pool of talent at it's disposal and it will be exploiting it to try and obtain the countries first victory. It is thought Gabriella Cilmi will finally return for her 3rd contest with a cover of a well known song. Once more the ASC neither confirmed or denied that it was Cry Me A River. A song which has been linked with Cilmi, Ashton and the BJSC for a year. after the Change tour :wub: It is also understood that Ashton has found some unknown acts to enter from a specific source which is being kept a heavily guarded secret.

 

The Veronica's have also been linked with Ashton for the song 4Ever

 

It is expected that Ashton will enter Gabriella Cilmi in XVI, and that Artist X will be pushed to July at the earliest.

I know who 'X' is :kink:

how do you know who X is :o

I don't :kink: I was just living this place up :heehee:

i was going to say how?

 

Only me and Rich know who X is

Ashton & BJSC XV -> XVII

 

The ASC today unveiled its proposed entries to the next two contests. They are set to be:

 

XVI - Natalie Bassingthwaighte - Catch Me If You Can.

XVII - Gabriella Cilmi - Live Cover of either Whole Lotta Love or Cry Me A River.

 

The ASC also revealed its full position over the MF fallout. They said that Ashton is fully commited until XVIII at which point we shall re-evaluate the countries position within BJSC. The ASC pledged to continue fighting for the NF ban to be overturned, stating it was hypocritical and unfair.

 

Ashton currently has no desire to withdraw from the contest, but after taking a step back for he next 3 contests will assess where the contest is headed and make a full decision on the countries future once it has returned to GMT. AshBet is offering odds of the country withdrawing after XVIII at 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999/1.

 

The ASC wishes to stay competing for the great benefits the contest brings, but is concerned about the contests future

LOL, Artist X was Gabs again :lol:

 

That's worth a pound at those odds :o

No, Artist X has been pushed back till XVIII at the earliest.

Gabs wasn't artist X, they are still to come :P

Of course the chances of you changing your mind are quite high though right? :lol:

 

I'm intrigued as to the identity of this X person but allas we shall have to wait and see no doubt

 

With regards to XV, I've listened to Puretone and few times now and.... well I've listened to it a few times.

I reckon Ashton will stay, there is just a few things i want too watch over the next few contests.

 

X will eventually be unveiled. I promise. Thankfully X is unsigned so ain't going nowhere.

 

Is that a good thing or a bad thing??? It may sound a little dated given that it is from 2003

Nat Bass for XVI but what song?

 

Yesterday the ASC unveiled that Natalie Bassingthwaighte would be the next representative of Republique d'Ashton, but our sources at the ASC have told us that it may be the Rogue Traders song 'Speak and Destroy' or 'Candy Coloured Lights' sent instead of the 1000stars track.
