I'm so relieved that I sent Uh Huh Her over Janet to XV*...I got bored of Let Go in a couple of weeks...I wouldn't call Breakaway average, it's a good song, perhaps not as good as Heartache On The Dancefloor but that would have got slaughtered for sounding almost identical to Chris Brown's Forever

 

everything about Black Butta winning was great for the contest, a live song, a great album track, a great vocal, a debuting nation...it's a very special song for the contest and would be in the first five songs I mentioned if someone said 'name some BJSC classics'

*XIV

 

:kink:

 

I remember dismissing Janet quickly :lol:

Janet... meh

 

So what would be your other 3? (assuming Dame Maggie would be in there :kink: )

Just like everyone dismissed Belinda (my second best finishing entry thus far!) It's hard to judge where pure pop princesses will perform.

contender for Ashton's 12 in the Spin off

I reckon Black Butta is one of the defining 'BJSC' songs, i.e. songs that few people would know about without the contest but are now standards to the forum...I know Quotosibb like to keep it more safe in order to keep up their qualification record these days (Video Villain was a nice surprise though!) but I look forward to the day when Aaron sends another contest defining song like that...and when he does, FSR Rontvia's 12 points are reserved just for that occasion :kink: Black Butta only getting 1 point from me in VI was a complete injustice, and I can only apologise profusely :snif:

Shame it only scraped 19th in the Best Of, obviously not that defining. -_-

 

I wish I could find another contest defining song as well but I'm not that good at unknowns and the fact that a Beverley Knight album track is considered something people would have never heard is quite sad. :( I (obviously) think she's brilliant and "Black Butta" not being a lead, or even a single, is one of the most baffling choices I've ever seen, forget "Migrate". I'm a huge fan and it's up there as one of her best imo. It just so happened that an amazing performance of one of my favourite songs by my favourite artist went down with the rest of you. I'd love to go back to her but "Straight Jacket" and even "Shoulda Woulda Coulda" didn't do much when she has been sent again. :nocheer:

 

After going really cheap with September I figured I could allow myself to send something that would probably flop as I was hosting. Video Villain was definitely a "I would never send this if I wasn't hosting" entry but it didn't do too badly in the end though it was so marmite in the voting I think it would have dropped out in the semis.

 

Now I've sent an alternate version of a cheap song I will try going back to a lesser known song with Tegan & Sara for XVII but you've probably heard it as well. I expect it'll drop out at the semis but I've been considering it for a while and this contest mirrors VII (which is my current worse result) so it'll be quite apt if/when it fails. Unfortunately it's not quite contest defining, I pulled them out of XIV because they were too close to the Veronicas and Uh Huh Her. :heehee:

ah yes, my mistake :heehee: there have been so many contests it's hard to keep track :drama:

So what would be your other 3? (assuming Dame Maggie would be in there :kink: )

 

Will You Remember Me Tomorrow, Black Butta, Release Me, Money Note and a Rontvian entry, don't know which one though :o maybe Mine All Mine

September was hardly a bad choice of replacement, coming 2nd :kink:

 

I've just noticed that I didn't give Black Butta anything in my best of votes...I was partly to blame for it coming 19th :nocheer: I reckon it was probably 11th or 12th in my vote, maybe this happened with a lot of people!?!

AFAIR(emember) i didn't give Black Butta any points or gave , but very few. :( 10 in the main contest though :w00t:

True, it just wasn't very inspired. I wish I checked out her music before she had a confirmed follow up to "Cry For You" as I would have probably sent it back then. Actually, I still don't own her album(s?) no idea why not. :nocheer:

 

I expect so, it actually only missed 10th place (which I would have been happy with) by about 4 or 5 points. We could have done with more voters in the Best Of. :(

:drama: At least you liked it at one point.

I have seen 3 people (also from BJSC) stating The Show as the 'New Entry' (not a RE) this week on their charts :lol:

 

:(

yeah, somehow people from this site refuses to chart songs if they're not in future release schedule list...dont know why???

I sometimes don't chart some songs purposely, but i always tell if i love the song.

 

But actually, throw my words, Kylienips/Ojnoj/Simmondly (a new entry on their charts) gave it points. :kink:

 

I'm re-watching the live final of BJSC XI. I was sleeping when it took place :heehee:

it makes no sense to me either...

 

for me a personal chart is your personal favourite songs of the week, whatever their source, not your favourite 40 songs off the UK release schedule :unsure: obviously my chart looks a tad random at times, with album tracks and re-entries all the time but at least it's representative :kink:

Will You Remember Me Tomorrow, Black Butta, Release Me, Money Note and a Rontvian entry, don't know which one though :o maybe Mine All Mine

 

Money Note? :blink:

 

ah and the joys of re-living IX :heart:

Just read through the BJSC IX final myself... Annoying little gobsh!te aren't I! :o

XI was so amazing tbh :heehee: I didn't properly look through the posts the morning after when checking the results before today :o The last 2 sets of votes are unforgettable! :kink:

Excatly...same with mine...and this year my chart is full with songs from BJSC :heehee:
