excellent stuff, should be another good and original entry then!

Hopefully, i have 3 artists so far lined up to follow CT.

:kink: Could Ashton be going entry hunting in Iceland again???

 

This time for a female with the first name of Johanna :kink:

 

 

 

:wub:

 

If we don't get an ESC spin off, and i can find the album, Ashton will probs be going back to Iceland

She's a fantastic young girl with loads of potential, I await results of an album hunt :o

The album hunt is not going amazingly well, but i have just uncovered her Myspace page :w00t:

:cheer:

 

I would love to see Johanna win BJSC :D

Right, i have a major problem.

 

I can only find Torrents, and i can't download torrents with my ISP, the bast*rds block them. :nocheer:

 

But i found this on youtube via her myspace:

 

 

I might just go for the risk and send a live track again, especially as she is epic live

Check your PMs :D

Cheers Tom, but i now can't even find the Torrent i thought i saw :nocheer:

The studio of Funnything Is is just epic.

 

[Thanks Tom]

 

Looks like Johanna Gudrun Jonsdottir will represent Republique d'Ashton at the 17th Buzzjack Song Contest.

 

Most likely with Funnything Is :w00t:

Republique d'Ashton romp into 5th in Mdice!

 

The Republic of Ashton [Officially, Republique d'Ashton] broke their points record and poor streak as Alex romped home in 5th place with 113 points in Mdice. After a slow start, Alex leapt up the leader board into the top5. Progressing into the top3 for a while. Clinging on to 5th in the final stages Alex's triumph makes it Ashton's first top 5 placing in the Buzzjack Song Contest since the Sugababes and Lily Allen lead an Ashtonise invasion into the top of the score board in V and VI. The previous points record of 109, held by Amy MacDonald [iX] was broken by a Ten points from Utopia, putting Alex on 110, a further 3 points strengthened her record and 5th position.

 

The ASC aims to continue the momentum into XVII after the spin off and has announced that Cinderella Theory and Jóhanna Guðrún Jónsdóttir are the two acts in contention for the coveted spot with IN2U and Funny Thing Is respectively.

The Numayanian delegation sends it's congratulations to Republique d'Ashton for the well deserved fifth place. It also wants to share it's sympathy for Ashton's previous failures, which are brought closer to home by Serebro's fall from fourth place in Semi 1 to 17th place in the final...

Thank you very much! Gutted Serebro didn't do as well as it should have.

 

You gained 2pts from the Semi to the Final from Ashton.

 

We also thank you for your sympathy.

 

 

 

The ASC, GR'dA and AMC are hoping that Alex was the track they needed to kick start the countries rightful return to success and hopefully on to Ashton's debut win

Sending Johanna live wouldn't be as risky as sending the Sugababes live, cos she's flawless live :cheer:

She really is :wub:

 

ASC confirm Ashtonise participation in Spin Off.

 

The ASC can confirm that Republique d'Ashton will be participating in the second BJSC Spin Off. Rumours appearing within the Ashtonise press that the country would refuse to compete are false, and the ASC can confirm that after advertising for a entrant to come forward, Molly Sanden has been selected to represent Republique d'Ashton at the Spin Off.

 

Molly Sanden, born 1992, competed for Sweden in Junior Eurovision in 2006 where she came 3rd. She entered Sweden's National Final for the ESC earlier this year where she finished 8th.

 

Molly sings in Swedish and will be representing Ashton with Karlek.

 

The song will make it's Ashtonise Premier tonight, with the video being placed on Youtube shortly. In the mean time the song is available on her Myspace.

Ooh, I love Molly :wub: Havent heard Karlek ("shalick") but I'm sure it's awesome :cheer:

Ooooh i still need to make the video :kink:

 

I'll have it up so you can listen within 30mins

Nice :D

 

Molly Sanden - Karlek

 

Republique d'Ashton - Foreign Language Spin Off.

Afternoon Avec Amelle - No to spin off.

 

The AMC [Ashton Media Corporation] has today confirmed that hit TV show, Afternoon Avec Amelle will not be running during the forthcoming BJSC Spin Off after the show was pulled from air after it's delayed broadcast in the semi final week.

 

Afternoon Avec Amelle is likely to return during XVII for one show due to scheduling difficulties and Amelle's commitments to the recording of the Sugababes 7th studio album.

Ashtonise to become main language

 

Within the next three weeks Republique d'Ashton will formerly adopt Ashtonise as the countries main language. The main government entites will see their names change to Ashtonise over the next week. All Ashtonise BJSC votes will be announced in the language. In the event of Ashton hosting the BJSC the opening sequence will be delivered in Ashtonise before reverting to English, which is to remain as the official second language of Ashton and will continue to appear on all sign posts and will be taught in all schools.

 

Newspapers and other media outlets will remain in the language they are currently broadcast in.
