Posted November 4, 200816 yr So...the all-important Best Of Contest is coming up to decide our favourite BJSC song of the first ten Contests. But what about those forgotten classics? The songs that should have been but never were? I'm talking about those efforts left languishing in the semi-finals. Some were the wrong song at the wrong time, some were in the wrong semi-final and lacking a voting base. Some were just plain awful. But now is the time to recognise those songs from the first ten contests that could and should have been so much more than they were! It's your chance to vote for the best non-qualifier to date. All you need to do is send me a PM of your favourite entries from the first 10 contests that have failed to qualify for the final. You can nominate up to 5 songs from across all of the contests, in any order. Also, one of your nominations can be one of your own entries. So choose carefully. Which of your songs do you think deserved better? If of course you aren't one of the lucky few never to have a had a failed attempt!! Nominations are open until Saturday 15th November at which point I'll post a shortlist, and the winner will be announced on the night of the Best of BJSC Contest! To refresh your memories, here are the songs you have to choose from: BJSC II FSR Farahtyn - Aly & AJ - The Greatest Time of Year Romeria - Tose Proeski - Igri Bez Granici Tyleratia - Girls Aloud - Money Phinechendza - Enrique Iglesias - Tired of Being Sorry Jester's Kingdom - Air - Cherry Blossom Girl Camdonia - The Vines - Get Free Vulcania - Anastacia - Underground Army New Alba - Will To Power - Baby I Love Your Way Rabbitland - Lindsay Lohan - Rumours Hackyack - Rihanna - Don't Stop the Music BJSC V JRK-off - Ayumi Hamasaki - Mirrorcle World Camtoro - Camila - Todo Cambio Tapatilandia - Enrique Iglesias - Dónde Están Corazón BJSC VII Kingdom of Shadow - Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Heartbreak Make Me a Dancer Ojnoj - Gavin Mikhail - Fight the Sky Leonville - Go:Audio - Why Dulpaen - Alisha Bennett - Put Your Records On Bokia - Tose Proeski - The Hardest Thing Cascadia - Moby - Disco Lies Kylienips - Portishead - Wandering Star Hitanya - Buggles - Video Killed the Radio Star Torchwood - Saturdays - If This Is Love Frahliso - Amy Studt - Chasing the Light Land of Jack - Brick & Lace - Love Is Wicked Tapatilandia - All Saints - Sexy Rivandia - Kleerup; Lykke Li - Until We Bleed Camtoro - BeFour - We Stand United BJSC VIII Bhangra - Kate Bush - This Woman's Work Frahliso - Charli XCX - Neon Fashion & Glowstixx FSR Farahtyn - Raffi - Banana Phone Rivandia - The Watson Twins - How Am I To Be Phlumptopia - The Do - On My Shoulders Torchwood - Janet Jackson - Feedback Herzebania - Carola - Pride (In The Name Of Love) Botanikka - Solid Harmonie - I'll Be There For You Utopia - The Hot Puppies - The Girl Was Too Beautiful FNT Nickodonia - Abba - The Day Before You Came BJSC IX Cascadia - Jupiter Rising - Electropop Allecian - LeAnn Rimes – Nothing Better To Do Dalisska - Marie Digby - Say It Again Tapatilandia - Killers - On Top Sangria - Marie Picasso - Winning Streak Camtoro - Thomas Godoj - Love Is You Bokia - Namie Amuro - Can't Eat, Can't Sleep, I'm Sick Triodopolis - Nicol - How Does It Feel Now?

November 4, 200816 yr Author Will there be any recap vids or anything? :kink: It's a bit tricky, since they're scattered all over the place. You'll only have to vote for 5 (less if you want), so you'll only really have room for the ones that stick out in your mind anyways. The songs are all somewhere in the forum anyways! It would just be a bit of an ask to make a 72-song recap video!
November 5, 200816 yr For a bunch of 'not good enough' songs it's quite hard to nominate. I had about 12 I would have liked to nominate and now I've got it down to 6.
November 5, 200816 yr I have voted :D there were arond 9 songs I considered voting for, but in most cases the songs deserved to miss the final...
November 5, 200816 yr Author Six countries have nominated so far. Quite a wide spread of votes, but 3 songs in particular are jumping ahead of the pack already. Keep the nominations coming :) They make interesting reading!
November 5, 200816 yr Odds to win... (Never done this before but hey...) Mira Craig - Headhunted: 2/1 Any Other: 100/1 :P
November 5, 200816 yr Odds to win... (Never done this before but hey...) Mira Craig - Headhunted: 2/1 Any Other: 100/1 :P :wub: I think Heartbreak Make Me A Dancer will be one of the front runners too...I never had a chance to vote for that originally :cry:
November 5, 200816 yr Author Thanks for all the nominations! Alot for the first 24 hours. There are still 4 main front-runners but others creeping out of the woodwork...
November 6, 200816 yr Did I send my votes in earlier? Buzzjack was doing that thing where it didn't appear to be loading after I sent it.
November 6, 200816 yr I see 11...that should be albe to make it :) (Fingers crossed mine will be a 12th :kink:)
November 6, 200816 yr Author Did I send my votes in earlier? Buzzjack was doing that thing where it didn't appear to be loading after I sent it. Yes I got your votes.
November 6, 200816 yr I hope I can get a song through to this. It's not like I haven't got enough chances :P Vote for Dido and ABBA everyone :D
