diva thin muffin

Can someone remind me who's ineligible to participate this month? My brain is a bit muddy at the moment but I'm struggling to find who the non-voters in 140 were :lol:

Thanks Bré! ^_^

Would a mod be so kind to send the links to the song submission format & whatever else we need to either Wow73 or me? :heart:

Hopefully it'll be fine! We'll see tomorrow I suppose! Thanks for the feedback Addy & Silas, I appreciate it! ^_^

Thanks Silas. The song in question is 2-3 years old, and I don't see many blogs talking about it and there and it returns a total of two results when I search it using the "site:buzzjack.com" feature on Google, doesn't have many views on Youtube, no charts etc so I might just give it a try but it's at least a somewhat recognizable name although I've seen (what I consider to be) far more well known artists enter in a non-anniversary edition so maybe I'm just overthinking it and sabotaging myself. :lol:

I always check first if my songs pass the veto based on the guidelines but I don't follow music blogs so it's usually the "substantial blog coverage" part that I'm unsure about :lol: But the artist I'm thinking about is not someone that's had any chart hits but I'm unsure of just how well known they are and whether they will be auto-vetoed based on namesake alone :unsure:

Yeah that's what I think as well. I have a few choices for Icelandic potentials but I'm not sure how well the appeal translates to non-icelanders :lol:

Very tempted to go dance this month although last time I was criminally left behind in the semis so unsure if I should. Or maybe.. ..Something icelandic? ..Something r&b? ..Something i'm unsure whether it'll pass the veto or not? ..Something pop-rock? So many options, I'm sure I'll somehow manage to pick the wrong one :lol:

Yes! Mosquetania has graciously accepted our fellow Vinorelians' invitation to co-host this edition of BJSC! Looking forward to bringing this forum together with the help of music for the 141st time. As a direct continuation of the longest (but most exciting) flights of our lives, we've decided a Holiday theme is only fitting - especially given Lookylion's winning song title. We plan to open confirmations on Saturday, January 8th so you have a few days to think about what kind of energy you want to bring with you on this Holiday!

This song made headlines in Iceland today because apparently one of the writers is icelandic (Alma Goodman of mid-2000s girl group Nylon fame http://i.imgur.com/yqFrse4.gif)

How about a spin-off where I personally assign an artist to every participant? I just want to do this so that I can assign some pop hoe to Bré :kink: or maybe something where people have to submit something totally out of their comfort zone. i.e. Pop mafia have to submit rock, indie darlings have to submit commercial house, dance bloc have to submit country, long song bloc have to submit short pop songs etc. :lol:

Four winning predictions already! NO PRESSURE YOU GUYS!

Surprised at almost 36% of Bleeding Love's all time streams coming only in the last two years :o

Happy to see Ruben go through! :wub:

Well, just a bit of a diva moment. Results are mostly right, but the final score by accident omitted Wholune's votes so the correct results are here (Rolloland & Utopia both jumping a few spots after this correction): 132 Terra Avium 114 Pestolia 102 République d'Áskorza 95 Séyetana 75.04 Pagasa 74 Summericia 67 Taahino 61 Sovarasma 58 Jupiterdonia 56 St. Burbia 55 Danæviia 53 Land of DW 49 Trifoski 49 Beaverdonia 45 Rolloland 44 Altyr Muunilinst 40 Wholune 38 Mosquetania 38 Lotunia 37.4 Utopia 37 Jadakissnia 37 Persephonia 34 Lookylion 33 FSR Rontvia 32 Bøtanikkä 29 Cor Lupus 20.4 Cadelicia 18 East Rukahavian 13 Flynnonda 8 Niceland

Ahhh, sorry I've made a TERRABLE mistake. The results are wrong :'(

Also for anyone curious, if there had been no deductions Pagasa would have placed 4th, Taahino 5th, Utopia 19th and Cadelicia stays 27th.

Veeery sorry for the somewhat messy and underwhelming final results thread. It's been a weird day and I had far more OTT ideas for how I had planned to post this (for example I was going to have my parents & siblings rate the songs and post their reviews for each entry lmao but didn't find the time and yes I did indeed also plan on making christmas versions of everyone's flags :lol: ) HOWEVER thank you everyone for participating and thank you to everyone who voted for Yohanna! Congratulations Terra Avium for a very convincing win and even though I didn't point you I think it's a very deserving winner to close out this christmas season! Here's the full voting chart: (Lotunia is actually supposed to be 18th since we tied on pts (38), number of 12s (1) and number of 10s (0) but I got more 8s (2))
