Josh!

I reckon some of y’all are already after Ajanaeda semi final points bc I already know 8 entries which is a much bigger number than usual 🫣😆 Another artist clash too sadly. That’s three so far. I’ve DM’ed everyone who is affected.

Updated the OP with 43 entrants now. We've had another clash though 🫣

We have our first artist clash! :( It is more fun seeing these happens from the hosting spot than it is being on the receiving end of a PM though.

OP updated with our 23 entrants (so far) x

As you may tell from the red carpet, my theme is going to (loosely) be based on Oscars awards season as is apt for a country created by a former Movies mod. Keep an eye out for plenty of A-list Hollywood celebrities announcing the semi results. (That's as high concept as you'll get in Ajanaeda x). Let's just hope we can do the maths as well as PricewaterhouseCoopers tally the Academy votes.

The fastest of anyone else by 5 whole seconds! At least there'll be no artist clash for you to worry about Jade 🤣

Here is live footage of us in Ajanaeda rolling out the red carpet for BJSC 174. Let the competition commence!!!

Confirmations imminent! Sorry it’ll be late in the evening x

I’m hoping either Sunday night or Monday early x Need to confirm with the mods x

Oh also, I love an early night so no results are planned to go on past 10pm . 🤣

I'm going to make the most of the AQ and send something a bit terrible that I personally love and think is a bop. I do not think it would qualify in an ordinary contest but I'm happy to take the wooden spoon if it means the artist gets 60 extra monthly listeners, haha.

Rebecca wins! BJSC comes to Ajanaeda After a hotly competitive contest, Rebecca Black takes home her first BJSC gold. She can put it right next to her silver for BJSC 169. The new queen of BJSC (and future instant vetoes) ❤️ I commented on how great many entries were this contest so I didn't expect this despite the hype, but it was awesome to see how many people enjoyed it. Liam and I requested it in the gay club the other night and it went OFF for us and us alone... if only the crowd was other BJSC voters, ey. If we'd have hosted back in 2015 then our contest would've been incredible but tbh I have no idea how this new site works so we'll see how it goes. Wish us luck! x Here's our track record since we returned: BJSC 162 / 17th / 169pts / R&B - English Teacher BJSC 163 / 35th / 123pts / Ornaments of Gold - Siouxsie and the Banshees BJSC 164 / 27th / 151pts / Girls Like Sex - L Devine BJSC 165 / DNQ / DNQ / BOYS - flowerovlove BJSC 166 / 41st / 88pts / sad girl summer (not again) - VICTORIA BJSC 167 / 19th / 172pts / Little Chaos - Orla Gartland BJSC 168 / 37th / 121pts / AHHHH! - Teen Jesus And The Jean Teasers BJSC 169 / 25th / 148pts / Kangaroo - Remi Wolf BJSC 170 / 07th / 241pts / Another Night - Grace Davies BJSC 171 / 28th / 124pts / You are what you fear in me. - Banshee BJSC 172 / 31st / 113pts / Dreamcatcher - Keke Palmer BJSC 173 / 1st / 300pts / Twist the Knife - Rebecca Black We're quite proud of that considering we only had seven qualifying entries in our original run. Ajanaeda 2.0 is the bigger and better version 😂🤩

Oh don’t get your hopes up ☠️🥲

AJANAEDA BJSC 174 Discuss the upcoming contest here! Confirmations coming soon x

I’ve reached out to Bre about help with adding because I am good at many things but Google Sheets isn’t one of those things. To be announced 😆

It feels very cool to win after debuting over a decade ago like Bre said, so thank you to everyone for voting and appreciating the greatness of Rebecca Black! I'm a bit shocked because I did think 'TRUST' sounded like a bit more of an all rounder but I do think that the way that 'Twist the Knife' builds is irresistible. In all seriousness, I've really enjoyed taking part in this contest since returning early last year, and I've been doing a lot better as a nation than I did back then so this is like the cherry on top. Bringing Mothertopia into the mix makes listen throughs at home much more fun. I'm sure I've missed out on some great stuff during my hiatus but now this contest has become part of our monthly routine. I thought this contest was incredibly strong and I added way more than 15 songs to my BJSC discoveries playlist on Spotify (a playlist that is nearing 24 hours long now!). My dream top three would've been the Semi Final 2 top three so it's a shame the other two fell away and didn't quite make top ten in the end. Finally, a big ty to Lew and Patrick for all the funky colours and a cool theme. Yous pulled off an incredibly well-organised contest, that went off without a hitch, and was fun for all involved. Bravo❤️

Maybe this is what I deserve in the same contest that flowerovlove comes 11th in the final when she came 26th in the SEMI for me.

… 🫣 *wait’s for Bray to pinch me back to reality with the double checking*

Every time we get a new peak position, you come along and knock us down a peg Bre ☠️🥲

Just the 'B' maybe ? 🤣

Ajanaeda have voted ! I actually sent a draft DM so ignore the first one please Klum Our household has become a bit of a Victoria Silvstedt fan club 😅

I don’t think I’ve ever voted for Skall before … so of course, when I give them a chunk of points …. They come last in the semi . Damn!!

Wait, UVLand’s entry is a bit of a bop!!! Iconic!!!

Only familiar with the Altyr and Mothertopia entries. I hope flowerovlove can qualify this time after she flopped for me last time. I've been into all of her releases and was thinking of entering her again myself but was stung by the DNQ last time. Looking forward to listening in the morning!
