Aye I used a UK top five single in BJSC I (Mike Oldfield - Moonlight Shadow) and BJSC VI (Fragma - Toca's Miracle). Mike Oldfield was alright as it was like 25 years ago, and Fragma had just released that 2008 version of the song, and seeing as I was loving the original I just thought f*** it and entered it. :D Others that I have used... Enya (BJSC II) didn't make the top 75, Dixie Chicks (BJSC III) made #71 or something, Mike Oldfield (BJSC IV) didn't make the top 75 and the Revelations in BJSC V didn't get released as a single I don't think... oh actually I think it did, but only as a digital one.

In BJSC I I used Jordin Sparks - Tattoo, which was being released as a single in the USA at the time but still had a few months left for release in the UK at the time. BJSC II I sent Vanessa Williams - Save the Best for Last, which was a #3 in 1992 IIRC, and pretty much forgotten by now. BJSC III I sent Jordin Sparks - Freeze, which is an album track and surprisingly flopped :o BJSC IV I sent Stefy - Chelsea, which was fairly obscure - it was released as a single last year but I don't think it charted. BJSC V I sent Elena Paparizou - Gigolo, which didn't get released here, and BJSC VI I sent Serebro - Opium which I doubt will ever get a release here :lol: And BJSC VII I'm sending Rachel Stevens - I Said Never Again - easily her finest single, and missed the top 10 in 2005. It deserved so much more :(

My historyyyy:

 

01. Britney Spears - And Then We Kiss [X]

02. Clea - We Don't Have To Take Our Clothyes Off [35]

03. The Veronicas - Hook Me Up [X]

04. Wynter Gordon - Surveillance [X]

05. Utada - Exodus '04 [X]

06. Imogen Heap - Hide and Seek [X]

07. Katy Perry - I Kissed A Girl [X]

 

;o Only one charted.

hmm...here's the UK chart history of my entries

 

1. Delta Goodrem - Believe Again (not released here - N/A)

2. Natasha Bedingfield - Stumble (US album track - N/A)

3. Andreas Johnson - Glorious (#4, 2000)

4. Sara Bareilles - Love Song (#5, 2008, but when I entered it, it had only been a hit in the US)

5. Sibel - Make Believe (Swedish album track - N/A)

6. Untouched - Smack Me (Unreleased single - N/A)

7. Maria and Mira - Mine All Mine (Norwegian album track - N/A)

 

so really only Andreas counts as a prior hit, but as I said, it's not like it's a well remembered track, more the pity :(

My history is not as significant and heavy as Rontvia, Bhangra, Kopecka's etc but still: :teresa:

 

BJSC 4: Polina Gagarina - Kolybelnaya (N/A - :lol: )

BJSC 5: t.A.T.u - Gomenasai (N/A as i know)

BJSC 6: Adele - Hometown Glory (recently #30 or something, only on downloads, soon getting released IIRC)

BJSC 7: Natasha Bedingfield - I Bruise Easily (help me with it :lol: )

 

:D

BJSC 7: Natasha Bedingfield - I Bruise Easily (help me with it :lol: )

 

:D

 

I think I Bruise Easily got to number 12 or something but DONT Quote me on that :lol:

I Bruise Easily was #11 IIRC :unsure:

 

And yeah, we're the heavyweights of the competition now :kink: But we shan't be Big 4-ing just yet :smoke:

I think Johnjo was right with #12 but I can't be arsed to check

But we shan't be Big 4-ing just yet :smoke:

 

why not :o I want guaranteed qualification to each contest :heehee:

based on total points scored across all finals, this is BJSC's big five:

 

1) Kylienips (426 Points)

2) Kopecka (422 Points)

3) FSR Rontvia (416 Points)

4) Bokia (408 Points)

5) Bhangra (405 Points)

 

Mdice isn't far behind either and if Katy Perry does as well as expected, Mdice could jump instantly to No.1 in this chart :o same applies to all four countries behind Kylienips though! Kylienips will probably fall from No.1...I think a lot of the fans of the track (possibly Jonny, RabbitFurCoat and Jester!?!) are in semi-final 2, so Portishead may fail to qualify

Of course, Kopecka shan't because it hasn't won yet :kink: :kink: :cry:

 

I suggest Bhangra, Rontvia, Eledan, Mdice and Bokia as the Big 4 5 :kink: :kink:

 

:o

 

i'm serious(about the Big Four :heehee: ) :drama:

don't curse us Pavel, we don't want Dima, Maria and Mira, Rachel and Katy and Natasha coming in the bottom 4 or 5 now do we :kink:

Spain hasn't had a proper victory yet either I wish to mention :smoke:

Oh yes, and I would be first on that list were it not for me not being able to vote in BJSC V people :(

Aww Kylienips. Mikey always pulls it out of the bag, and I can see him qualifying this time round as well tbh! :lol:

I think it would be great to make our Big Five (better than four imo) for a year/half-a-year/month/forever :kink: What d'ya think?

 

let's do it after the contest, but i suggest taking into account not only the overall points but places, average points, etc etc etc. That would be fairier i think ^_^

 

 

YO

A big five? :unsure: Call me jealous but i really don't think we need that to happen :mellow:

Well, the idea of a Big # is inherently unfair, but if it means autoqualification for me go for it :kink:

A big five? :unsure: Call me jealous but i really don't think we need that to happen :mellow:

Well, I don't think Pavel is being serious :lol: We couldn't really, it would be far too unfair :o
