Mind blown. Can you briefly explain your name change history from the past as I remember seeing lots of country names from before my time that always intrigued me!

And with a former Zanmatony artist from last year too! Bodes well being in your semi this month! 😁

Intrigued by this new change in direction! Will we continue to see some Eastovkan legacy live on?

Looking forward to getting stuck into these! Hope H3rizon finds some new fans here too.

BJSC 174 Entry (April 2025) Host Country: Ajanaeda ============================== Artist: H3rizon Song: Soul Ties (Don't Give It Up) Origin: 🇦🇺 Australia H3rizon is a girl group from Sydney Australia, consisting of vocalists Gabby, Bernie and Taya. Characterized by their Pop/Soul/R&B style music mixed with incredible vocal arrangements, they are known for their beautiful harmonies and unique interpretation of melodies. They were signed to Epic Records in 2023, marking a significant step in their career. Soul Ties (Don't Give It Up) is a glorious melding of pop, R&B , funk and soul, with an almost sensual beat that soon transforms into a funky synth beat, some glorious soaring melodies and vocals from the band and a hypnotic, almost chant like chorus which brings in whispers of 1980s synthpop.

Michelle being represented without @Cameron here just feels wrong wrong wrong!

Well the fact that BJSC spin-off contests have all but ceased for good seems that there should be ample opportunities for something like this to take place. The retro contests (in 20th & 21st century forums respectively) have been quite successful and niche since they started in recent times, and they happen quite regularly too which is nice.

Don't forget to vote for it then!

Prayer circle already started for blacksquare to get another victory in one of these!

#TeamEric

Why am I enjoying this. 🤨

I keep asking myself... what would @blacksquare do... he was born for a contest like this one!
