a lot of people are for and against spin-offs, and this contest should be democratic so let's give people a chance to air their opinions

 

Would you consider participating in spin-off contests?

 

Would you rather see them run parallel with or in place of regular BJSC contests?

 

If they were to be in place of regular BJSC contests, would you prefer a spin-off to be after XIII, after XIV or later than this?

 

How often do you feel that spin-off contests should happen?

 

If you are willing to participate in spin-off contests, can you suggest any interesting themes?

 

Any further comments/suggestions?

Would you consider participating in spin-off contests?

Sure

 

Would you rather see them run parallel with or in place of regular BJSC contests?

Regular

 

If they were to be in place of regular BJSC contests, would you prefer a spin-off to be after XIII, after XIV or later than this?

After BJSCXIII. Why wait so long :o I wanna try this idea :w00t:

 

How often do you feel that spin-off contests should happen?

1/2 times a year, but not more than it

 

If you are willing to participate in spin-off contests, can you suggest any interesting themes?

Well, it's not that new theme - but 'male' one is the most pleasant for me. Specific country, genre (even band OMG :kink:), 'your most favourite song of all time' theme contest :o , maybe specific LETTER artist's MAIN name starts with (e.g. if 'g' then GA, Lady GaGa, Garbage etc.), 'love' or any other word features in the name of the song, EUROVISION SONG CONTEST SONGS :o :o My fantasy is overloaded with this kind of suggestions :lol:

 

Any further comments/suggestions?

The host should be the highest finished NON-yet-host in the BJSCXIII :o

yes I would, I think that they could be very interesting and FSR Rontvia would participate in anything BJSC related :wub:

 

Would you rather see them run parallel with or in place of regular BJSC contests?

 

depends on how low-key they are destined to become...if hardly anyone wants to enter then they might as well run parallel, or at least in between normal contests...if 40+ countries want to participate, they'd have to be in place of the normal contests realistically

 

If they were to be in place of regular BJSC contests, would you prefer a spin-off to be after XIII, after XIV or later than this?

 

between XIV and XV, although between XV and XVI would be perfectly fine

 

How often do you feel that spin-off contests should happen?

 

no more than 2 or 3 times a year, so every 4-6 months maybe

 

If you are willing to participate in spin-off contests, can you suggest any interesting themes?

 

-'Cover versions'

-'Male only'

-'Particular countries only e.g. a German artists only contest!'

-'UK No.1's'

-'UK No.2's'

-'Cheap entries'

-'Worst song'

-'Songs only by artists who have never had a UK top 75 single/top 40 album (check Polyhex/Everyhit for confirmation)'

No

I love some of these suggestions, especially the 'favourite song of all time one' although mine has already been entered, Set You Free by N-Trance, so I'd have to send Shakira's Hips Don't Lie :rofl: :heart:

 

I love the 'word' contest idea too, for this one, the host should get to pick the word and everyone has to find a song with that word in the title! and I definitely approve of the ESC related contest, although I doubt many BJSC participants would go for that one :P

Would you consider participating in spin-off contests?

Depends on if it happens too often or not.

 

Would you rather see them run parallel with or in place of regular BJSC contests?

Parallel

 

If they were to be in place of regular BJSC contests, would you prefer a spin-off to be after XIII, after XIV or later than this?

Give it a try after XIII I guess ;)

 

How often do you feel that spin-off contests should happen?

About twice a year... 3 times, depending on how spaced out they are...

 

If you are willing to participate in spin-off contests, can you suggest any interesting themes?

"One hit Wonders"

"Cheap Contest"

"Indie/Rock/Alternative Contest"

"Males Only Contest"

"Acoustic/Candlelight Remix Contests"

 

EDIT: "Live Performances" & "Covers Only"

 

Any further comments/suggestions?

As long as it doesn't happen TOO often I will be happy to participate :)

And whoever win's the Spin off contests, they should be the one's to decide the theme of the next spin off as well as host it (If they want to host it)

Only if I can enter Kate Ryan - Je T'adore :wub:

Would you consider participating in spin-off contests?

Yes

I think 'in the place of' is a good idea, i can't concentrate on two at a time :/ I thought the Best Of/Rejects was a bit messy :/

 

If they were to be in place of regular BJSC contests, would you prefer a spin-off to be after XIII, after XIV or later than this?

For the next contest :D (After XIII)

 

How often do you feel that spin-off contests should happen?

2 contests, then a spin-off....

 

If you are willing to participate in spin-off contests, can you suggest any interesting themes?

Cheesy pop

Songs from Films

Favourite Songs

Male Only

#10 hits

Chav songs

Songs rlated to food (though the Fast Food Song should be banned :lol:)

 

Any further comments/suggestions?

Songs that have already been entered in a normal contest should be allowed to be entered under STRICT circumstances (for example: someone's favourite song may have bbeen entered into the BJSC before)

I love some of these suggestions, especially the 'favourite song of all time one' although mine has already been entered, Set You Free by N-Trance, so I'd have to send Shakira's Hips Don't Lie :rofl: :heart:

Me either but who knows. ESC has had so many amazing songs that can do well in this though.

:o Actually I love film songs theme. It might do well. Really.

Would you consider participating in spin-off contests?

 

Yes, as long as i host it :kink:

 

Would you rather see them run parallel with or in place of regular BJSC contests?

 

Parallel

 

If they were to be in place of regular BJSC contests, would you prefer a spin-off to be after XIII, after XIV or later than this?

 

Give it a try after XIII

I love the acoustic/candlelight contest idea, although we might have to tweak the rules a bit to allow Yanou to be used more than once :kink:

 

I agree about 2 or 3 per year, the idea of having one after every 3 contests is a bit excessive, maybe one in every 5 or 6 contests is more apt

love this one, we'd need to find a database that gives us all of the No.10 hits though!

 

but chav songs...only if N-Dubz are banned :kink:

I actually considered #10 hits as one! :heart: Only if I can send A&E though :kink: And Song #1 is MINE if we do ESC :smoke:

Would you consider participating in spin-off contests?

 

Sure, usually but there might be the odd time I wouldn't feel like it.

 

Would you rather see them run parallel with or in place of regular BJSC contests?

 

Parallel! Parallel! Parallel! Especially since there are bound to be people not too interested in spinoffs and if they're in place of the main contest those people might lose interest in the contest completly. (Plus I don't want to wait an extra month to send the song I really love at the moment :kink:)

 

If they were to be in place of regular BJSC contests, would you prefer a spin-off to be after XIII, after XIV or later than this?

 

Not answering this because they shouldn't be in place of regular BJSC contests. They should be an optional contest alongside the main one.

 

How often do you feel that spin-off contests should happen?

 

Hmm........either once a month(may be a bit much though) or perhaps once every 2-3 months.

 

If you are willing to participate in spin-off contests, can you suggest any interesting themes?

 

Here are some ideas:

 

Buzzjack Dance Contest (BJDC) - We send videos of different Dances and vote in the usual eurovision way.

Cheap Spinoff - Not a real idea but it would be funny to have a contest where everyone was told the enter the cheapest song they could find :P

Disney Song Spinoff - Not sure if this will go down well but we should have a contest where we enter a song from a Disney movie.

Video Game Song Spinoff - This is a spinoff where we enter songs that have been heard in videogames.

The first host should be Nickthenoodle. ^_^

I forgot A&E was Top 10 :heart: I feel that 'Molitva' would flop miserably if we did ESC :lol:

Would you consider participating in spin-off contests?

Yes, unless it's a theme I really wouldn't want to bother listening to.

 

Would you rather see them run parallel with or in place of regular BJSC contests?

In place of. I think the reason we're having them is to have 10 contests in a year anyway. In fact I probably wouldn't enter if spin-offs ran parallel because I'd rather focus on the main contest.

 

If they were to be in place of regular BJSC contests, would you prefer a spin-off to be after XIII, after XIV or later than this?

Whenever, I'm not exactly waiting to enter any songs to either contest.

 

How often do you feel that spin-off contests should happen?

However often they need to happen. I would rather have as many official contests as possible though.

 

If you are willing to participate in spin-off contests, can you suggest any interesting themes?

Right, I'm not so good at saying what I do want but I know what themes I'm not particularly interested in. Basically anything that could make a decent entry to the main contest would be a no for me. To me the idea of a spin-off is that the songs should also be spin-off songs that you wouldn't send to the main contest but would to the spin-off, it may as well be BJSC X-- with a stipulation if that's the route we take.

 

I'm also not fond of the worst contest idea. I don't want to spend hours listening to intentionally bad songs. (cue the 'your taste is rubbish anyway' comments) Y'know, it's good to discover new, good songs but not so much new rubbish songs.

 

So that really doesn't leave much room for themes. I like the cheap entry idea, but we kinda have the record of the decade game TIP does for that kinda thing. Maybe I'm not so pro-spin-offs as I thought as the only themes I can see being complacent with are things like Eurovision songs and my knowledge of those only starts in 2008 bar the obvious ones.

 

Any further comments/suggestions?

I think I kinda did this in the previous question - heh. This is completely contradictory to what I just said, but maybe have no themes for the spin off and rather than having semis make it into two contests. You could send whatever you like without worrying about qualifying, though most people do that anyway so that would be a problem. I don't know how people would feel about being separated from other countries either so it's a bit of a rubbish idea really.

Would you consider participating in spin-off contests?

 

I would consider it - though it would depend on what it was.

 

Would you rather see them run parallel with or in place of regular BJSC contests?

 

I would rather not see them at all, but if they were to come in I would suggest... not sure tbh. I think two contests in a month is a bit OTT but i really don't wanna see them replace a contest :cry:

 

If they were to be in place of regular BJSC contests, would you prefer a spin-off to be after XIII, after XIV or later than this?

 

Later please, I've got my BJSC 14 entry sorted and i don't really think it's ready to be launched in a weeks time

 

How often do you feel that spin-off contests should happen?

 

Never :P - I reckon the one a year along with the Best of is enough

 

Any further comments/suggestions?

 

I really just don't get the point of having a contest in which you're limited to the songs you can send :( IMO the BJSC is all about discovering all kinds of new music which other people really like and which you've never heard before. By forcing people to send all male entries for example then it means some people may be compromised by being unable to send the entried they really want to.

Gina G - FSR Rontvia - very much so :wub:

 

David would obviously send Love Shine A Light :o

 

edit: on second thoughts, I'd send Cool Vibes by Vanilla Ninja :o

Would you consider participating in spin-off contests?

No.

 

Would you rather see them run parallel with or in place of regular BJSC contests?

I don't want them to interfere with the BJSC contests. If you want a spin-off, PLEASE run them parallel.

 

If they were to be in place of regular BJSC contests, would you prefer a spin-off to be after XIII, after XIV or later than this?

Later. So much later that they'd have to run parallel. :P

 

How often do you feel that spin-off contests should happen?

I don't care, just as long as they don't interfere with the regular BJSC.

 

If you are willing to participate in spin-off contests, can you suggest any interesting themes?

...

 

Any further comments/suggestions?

DO NOT INTERFERE WITH THE BJSC. People are capable of having two parallel contests.
