OMG last time I had odds that good must've been literally two years ago

BJSC LXXXVIII Firefox AK | ' Heart of Mine ' ~ in the pouring rain I found you ~ vaBWZHebeiA

I sent my entry the moment I heard it and I am so into now. gonna be so disappointed when I DNQ :cry:

this is awesome. I can vaguely see the Rih comparisons in terms of the vocal style and pacing, but it still doesn't seem like something she'd release - Zara's team are clearly very good at putting the teenage swagger into her songs and tho this has a harsher mood than Lush Life, it's still so vibrant. would be surprised and disappointed if this doesn't smash!

finally found something - fully expecting it to already be taken, but fingers crossed!

nothing I have seems good enough. WOE

I think I'm trying a scandi emphasis on the A (because it's actually a Swedish word), though I've no idea if that's how they'd actually say it tbh this is so much nicer than the way I've always said it!!

07 | #00274E - I've always found this sort of troubling even though I know it's cool... but numbers for a country name is worryingly dystopian 04 | Aelandor - very Tolkein 09 | Aeroche 00 | Aeyundoré - makes me think of Eeyore 05 | Ajanaeda 04 | Alteria 08 | Altyr Muunilinst 05 | Avalonia 00 | Beaverdonia 04 | Bhangra 06 | Bignia-Zaragovina 04 | Botanikka 04 | Brechtoria 00 | Bubblelands - actually makes me shudder 07 | Cadelicia 08 | Cor Lupus 06 | Cumulonimbia 09 | D'yermak'er 09 | Daehun 06 | Dalisska 07 | Deandria 05 | Desbuanda 06 | Dobago 08 | Espen 05 | Ethanola 05 | F.D.

pretty good for Queen Yoko!! I'll take it, thanks y'all

they never left bbz, I just forget to tell people they exist sometimes

everyone else is just a warm-up act, bow down Spotify playlist is here for anyone who uses those - think there are 6 songs missing

YES thanks y'all!! Yoko blesses you all I want both Persep and Bellamia :(

I fucking LOVE Bones so buck up!

YESko

v o t e d

not going to put TOO much stock in that but still a little disappointing that 4 people dislike Queen Yoko, heathens <_<

YES YOSHI forever my MK pick in whichever of his magnificent colours <3 thanks for running this Bal! x

Was sad to hear this - quite unexpected tho I can't say I followed their social media or anything. Given to the Wild was a real underrated highlight of its year and they've always had a very tuneful, beguiling sound - hope they go on to bring this feeling to any future individual projects <3

ooh I'd seen my numerous entries outside the top 100 (ty <3) and thought that would be it, but of course Belanger! forever my crowning glory I suspect. sad to see 'Bassically' so low in the Seyetana rank - always did love that one. one of those ones I regretted not entering myself once someone else did. love Cady Groves too.

I was so into ‘Magic’ like two years ago or whenever it came out... took me a minute to realise I even knew it ha. Still great tho. RANK: Magic > Come Alive >>> Metaphysical > Rollercoaster >>> On & On >>>>> Howling At The Moon

I was considering ‘What It Feels Like’ myself, but I’d totally forgotten it was Nina on vocals! Do really like it though, so if you can sneak it in I’d definitely support it. ‘Sexual’ is pleasant but I didn’t really think it ever reached a ‘wow’ moment. I find the vocals on that and ‘You Said You Loved Me’ a bit off-putting too. Emmi’s just kinda reaches a plateau halfway through. PUZZLE is great, quite alluring and very rhythmic - and as you say, v different for Ramrynia! Also like ‘Be The One’, very classic pop with some great moments. RANK! What It Feels Like > Comedown > Be The One >>>>> Sexual >>> You Said You Loved Me And that’s the advice from a persistent flop country, laters.

BJSC LXXXVII POTENTIALS The Buzzjack world has been invited to a summit in Syndare's capital Töissä, running until Sunday evening, to assist in the selection of the nation's entry into the eighty-seventh Buzzjack Song Contest. After the previous month's catastrophic failure - which led to entrant Calypso requiring a government security escort from Töissä's airport on her return to avoid the baying mob gathered outside - the SSSB (Syndarian Song Selection Body) is welcoming delegates from across the Buzzjack world with open arms to advise on where the body may be going wrong with their recent selections, with no contest this year providing the nation with a result within the top twenty. The SSSB unveiled the five potential entrants in a glittering opening ceremony on Wednesday evening, with former Syndarian winner Belanger providing a stunning DJ set at the post-show party. Syndare thanks the delegates for their assistance and hopes they enjoy their stay in Töissä's premiere five-star hotel, the Härlig.

There was a Dragonite on my Nearby this evening, came so close to jumping into a locked and pitch black area of the park haha caught a Snorlax yesterday and hatched a Lapras today so those are my pride and joy. worried about how addicted I am, I've walked around London so much this week that I'm worried my legs will fall off
