Red Blooded Women Paint Attacktonia Red!

 

Ashtonise representative, Red Blooded Women, landed in Inner Massivia last night on the first leg of their Red Blooded Tour. The trio performed their previous entry, Colour Me Dirty, highly praised by many critics who believe it should have finished higher than 14th.

 

 

Next on the bill was a medley of Ashton's previous entries: Push The Button, What Do We Do, Addiction, True Believer, Hole In The Head, I Don't Know, Colour Me Dirty, Got No Place To Go, Barrowland Ballroom, Never Gonna Dance Again and Don't Wanna Go To Bed Now. The massive medley was followed by Synthesiser a track which was nearly selected for BJSCVII

 

 

They went on to perfrom Spotlights and Attraction. Before ending the night with the current Ashtonise number 1, and their entry to BJSCXII, You Made Your Bed.

 

 

The girls were overheard as they returned to their hotel saying how amazing the audience were, and that they would defiantly recommend visiting Inner Massivia to the other acts signed to Sugarecordings.

Daily Kopeček Promotional Recap!

 

Yesterday's Presidential decree has already had a massive effect on the nature of promotion within BuzzJack, with the announcement of Afternoon Ca-mo-mille Tea spawning even more Loose Lingerie rip-offs than is considered culturally acceptable by President Karasol. Today's announcements regarding the BuzzJack Song Contest are as follows:

  • ACT is already down to five remaining slots, with talks underway with IBK Alpha (the leading television channel in Kopečka) to increase the available slots to three performance slots per show. ACT premiers tomorrow with a performance from Darin of Botanikka and an interview and performance with the Farahtynian representatives by host Camille.
  • Profits are soaring as Kopečekers rush to buy tickets for their favourite artists who are visiting the nation in the coming fortnight, beginning tomorrow.
  • La Roux has begun her whistle-stop promotional tour, with sell-out performances in BaNG and Sangria yesterday receiving critical reviews, and a double performance today in FSR Rontvia receiving plaudits from Rontvian observers despite worries that the song may be losing popularity in the country (repaired with an electropop remix of Boys & Girls by La Roux). A performance at JRK-off was received with annoying indifference despite a cover of 'T-Shirt', with La Roux's final performance in Siobah's Bhux Arena in Quotosibb receiving an ecstatic reaction along with a cover of Dream On!
  • Camille today released her promotional adverts for ACT, with performances, camomile tea and boots in various shades of pink announced as tomorrow's key features!

I'm starting to get the feeling that the Contest is becoming so diluted with promotion for entries....

 

3-4 rival chat shows popping up on the same day, several promo tours visiting EVERY single country?

 

With just so many outlets for countries to promote their acts, it won't have any effect whatsoever!

Final version of I Don't Know Premiers

 

Lily Allen's new single 'The Fear' premièred on BBC radio one at 4:45 this afternoon and confirmed suspisions that it was indeed the final version of I Don't Know.

 

I Don't Know finished 2nd in BJSCVI and remains Ashton's highest finish to date. Lily went onto win BJSCVIII with f*** You for Nonsuch, she was selected for BJSCXII for Ashton before being pushed aside for Red Blooded Women.

 

Links to the show and more information on her new album is available in the Lily Allen Forum.

Inner Massivia Herald Tribune

The people of the city of Attacktonia were overwhelmed today by a promotional performance by Red Blooded Women. A storming set sent the crowd into a wild frenzy and has been compared to the incredible scenes back in 1984 when the Bootleg Beatles arrived to play the first concert after the ban on popular music was lifted.

 

Our resident rock critic, Johnny Van Brokendown had this to say: "Red Blooded Women have left many red blooded men in Attacktonia tonight with a sexually charged performance of pop grandeur. And the women of the city enjoyed it too - some were even seen throwing their bras on stage. If this is the standard of entry Ashton usually present to the BJSC the Government of Inner Massivia may have to rethink their plans for future entries and up their game."

In a snap poll following the concert Ashton was voted favourite country in Quilvoria.

BTW FNTNickodonia are now in national mourning after Ruth Lorenzo was voted off of X Factor

 

:(

 

:P

I'm worried about my entry, I've only had one bit of feedback :P

 

 

Does anyone actually like it :P?

I think it sounds quite good...might get a few points from me :thumbup: But i haven't really listened to many of the other songs yet though...
Who's doing the odds thread then :P?

 

I was thinking the same, id start it but i've only listened to about 5 of the songs in full :huh:

Red Blooded Women arrive in FSR Rontvia for first of two shows

 

Ashtonise favourites Red Blooded Women arrived in FSR Rontvia for their first of two shows. Following their highly anticipated appearance on Loose Lingerie the girls signed cd's at Constarvan's main record store for Ashtonise music, SugaRontRecords.

 

Their sold out concert kicked off at 7pm with former entry Colour Me Dirty, the Rontvian 12pointer in BJSCVII

 

 

Following the amazing response from the crowd, the band gave into demands and sang it again, this time adding their Colour Me Pjanoo remix at the end

 

 

Next on the set list was their medley of Ashtonise and Rontvian former entries. They sang: Love Song, Smack Me!, I Don't Know, Colour Me Dirty, Headhunted, Barrowland Ballroom and Boys & Girls. Followed by Spotlights, Attraction and Synthesiser. The song which was nearly sent to BJSCVII

 

 

The group ended the performance with their current single and entry You Made Your Bed.

 

 

Red Blooded Women are hoping You Made Your Bed hits the top spot on the Rontvian charts, like it has on the Ashtonise charts. The girls are doing another record signing in Constarvan tomorrow morning before going holiday home hunting in the afternoon.

English vs. Spanish

 

So, like many others, I've enterred a a non-english speaking artist this time round but how do singers compare when they try to sing in a second language?

 

Belinda, originally from Spain but famous in Mexico, obviously records largely in Spanish but has translated some of her songs (luckily for us) into english. But surely artists and songs must be compromised by doing this...

 

have a listen to Belinda's 'At The End Of The Day' and the original 'Bella Traicion'...

 

 

I personally think the english version sound way better, the words seem to fit the music perfectly but is this just becuase I can understand what she's saying and so would spanish people think the spanish version is better?

 

 

Does Belinda have a song called "Angel"? :o

 

I was wondering about her for a while and when you said she was Spainish I'm almost certain......I sent a Belinda to a Spainish Spinoff in the nation song contest a while ago with the song "Angel"
