80's beat. Music tinny. Vocals run of the mill. ---- Caerfyrddia // Krause - Soaring Through The Starlight A bad joke? ---- People's Republic of Jester // Gorillaz feat. Gruff Rhys & De La Soul - Superfast Jellyfish Amazing musicial quality intro. Vocals weird. Different. ---- Zechonia // Serj Tankian - Lie Lie Lie (live Symphony) Attentive piano notes playing to the long build up. Anthem. ---- Skall // Stars - In Our Bedroom After The War Average ---- Dalisska // This Episode - The Movies BJ friendly ---- Angelicland // Samantha - U-Turn Charming intro. Amazing vocalist. Musically poor, but more then made up with the beautiful vocals. ---- Dulpaen // Rox - No Going Back (Acoustic) Charming jam. Light and easy. Short ---- Palmyra // Two Door Cinema Club - Something Good Can Work Cheerful, makes you wanna dance ---- Britmasu // The Beach Girl5 - Unbreakable Comes on well. Choppy turns harmonic. Quite different to anything else, vocals autotuned. ---- Sangria // Samantha Marq feat. Jessie Payo - Super Girl Dark and miserable. Hard to listen to. ---- Letland // Vlad Topalov - Perfect Criminal Dated, short, background music, chorus nice. ---- Tinnmark // Maria Haukaas Storeng; Måns Zelmerlöw - Precious To Me Difficult at first, so cluttered. Gets better, but still messy. ---- Egabbac // Jónsi - Animal Arithmetic Enchanting anthem like track. Vocal in the chorus are superb. ---- Nonsuch // Katie Melua - The Flood Energy, Gaga esque sound, good vocals like P!nk. Nothing much else after first 1:30. Last minute dull. ---- Jamora // The Pretty Reckless - Make Me Wanna Die Er, to foreign to connect with. Pleasant enough but not memorable. Voaclly nice ending ---- Land Of Jack // Jenni Vartiainen - En Haluu Kuolla Tänä Yönä Erotic video with weird noises ---- Hendinia // Dan Balan - Chica Bomb Extreme ---- Camdonia // Atari Teenage Riot - Activate Familiar ---- Xanaga // N Dubz ft. Bodyrox - We Dance On Funky beat. Tunage. Poor ending ---- Ashton // Richard Vission, Static Avenger & Luciana - I Like That Genetic, no energy ---- UnoShake // Leona Lewis - Scene Of The Crime Good beat. Requires a few listens ---- Yuxhaaq // Starshell - SuperLuva Great electric intro. Hit a plateau. ---- B.a.N.G // Kelis - Home Great intro. Good production. Foreign language. Musicial breakdown weak. Went nowhere ---- Botanikka // Nora Istrefi - Dy Shokë Great opening vocals. Great beat. Naff ending ---- Ojnoj // Alexandra Burke - The Map Great start. Good energy but cluttered sound. ---- Kylienips // The New Pornographers - Your Hands (Together) Happy intro. Kinda to easy listening ---- Greenfroze // Cults - Go Outside Hypnotic and dancable. Pity it's not in english. Brave whoever entered this. ---- Espen // Stromae - Alors On Danse i luv dizz song ---- Greenland // Aaron Fresh - Spending All My Time I think this maybe a hit in the US although I rejected it as my BJSC entry. ---- Cadbury // Uffie (feat. Pharrell Williams) - ADD SUV Intro ripoff(musically). Upbeat otherwise music weak. Depends a lot on groups vocals, which aren't great. ---- New Caprica // Girls' Generation - Tell Me Your Wish (Genie) Jacko intro. Well produced fresh sound. ---- Ben's Sanctuary // Jasper Forks - River Flows In You Just average ---- FSR Rontvia // Sheelah - Psycho Kinda innocent. Nice album tune. ---- Mdice // Feldberg - Dreamin' Kinda strange. Can't get into it. ---- Elëdan // Stoffer & Maskinen - Vi To Er Smeltet Sammen Liking the intro. Summer car tune. Doesn't go anywhere. ---- Juranabaijan // Lifehouse - Halfway Gone Nice build but disappears into blandness ---- Liechenstaan // Dolly Rockers - Automatic Girl Nice vocalist with trashy rap, urgh ---- Bignia-Zaragovina // B.o.B Ft. Hayley Williams - Airplanes Plenty of production. Parts great. Breakdown poor ---- Numayania // Jenny Berggren - Here I Am Pop tune, with vocals sounding like a certain BJ friendly female ---- Fervorosia // Alien Beat Club - Oxygen Retro catatonia ---- Quotosibb // Kaskade ft. Dragonette - Fire In Your New Shoes Soft vocal sound. Pleasant but average. Naff ending. ---- Torchwood // Le Kid - Escape Sounds like Mel C. Starts well, no peak, quite a bit of filling. ---- Kingdom of Shadow // The Good Natured - Fortune Teller Sugababe copycats anyone? Can't sing so well. Poor tune. ---- Kopečka // Girlicious - Maniac Superb building intro. Haunting vocals chorus. Lovin' this. ---- Lotopialand // Bonnie McKee - Deja Vu Uninspiring and dull album filler. ---- Urvůnia // Róisín Murphy - Overpowered Upbeat. Hot chick. The brass instruments don't work well. ---- FNT Nickodonia // Jorun Stiansen - Sticky Hands Would of entered this if wasn't taken. Great tune. Should win or at least be Top5 ---- United States Of Jack // Kat DeLuna ft. Akon - Push Push

Stars and Dolly rockers off to an unexpected good start.

bjsc_twenty six :: THE GRAND FINALE
Thanks for your 12 points. I sent Delta and Esmee before, sadly I couldn't find anything quite as good this time. My entry is only to have the impact of Sean Kingston.

Greenland makes the final again! ;)

Elëdan
This is excellent. Wish I had a chance to vote for it.

It was on Radio 2. Not sure about Radio 1, they played it but not sure if it was on the playlist.

A reason why having a big final is good, as it encourages one to take a chance.

I really loved it at first. I think I have it 9/10 in the first round but it went downhill from then. Some of the lyrics are inventive like wearing your last name. :D

My look at the personal charts suggests otherwise. If it's the same people voting in BJSC that have entered personal charts then n-Dubz are in for a lot of points today.

I entered Aaron Fresh. It's not the best entry, I rank 8 BJSC entries above. It's not got female vocals nor is pop, so I think BB will be hard on it. I was expected a video to turn up for it but that didn't materialise. I would be happy with any top 35 position but expect it to be lower. It may even come last as I don't see who it might appeal to. A good song doesn't do much if there is no matching demographics. Anyway, I think he'll be big in the future no matter the result today. I'm glad I entered due to the quality of other entries most of which where new to me, and am happy at the format which I think should be continued as it allows more diversity entry.

I think Nonsuch has the win in the bag. While it's not the very best entry, the best ones are little to off the norm for BJ to give high points. The only exception could be N-Dubz&Bodyrox which I'm predicting to be a close second.

Mark them all out of 10 or something, then go back over the ones with a similar score and compare them. If you can compare 10, then you can compare 50 or a 100, or a 1000.

The former. It's a bit of a cheapo entry if it's already in your charts.
