Lil Mariko is the natural BJFestivalen winner and I hope you all realize that!

Confirmed an absolute smash hit in the making!

Now I know this final is incredibly strong, but WOW am I low... thanks to all who pointed Aesthetica so far!

Aesthetica's votes are in!

i disagree cody because aesthetica will WIN!

Voted! :)

WOW! I just have to say that just from looking at my semi, I’m in LOVE with the absolute power in the run from Utopia to TARO Bellamia. What a great draw, despite being near the end of the semi. A few others I recognize in my semi like That Kid and Tia Kofi (among others), so I’m very excited to sink my teeth into this one!

Confirmed some sparkly, emotional hyperpop. Very much the baby of Hannah Diamond, Sophie and 100gecs imo.

No kpop for Aesthetica this month! I think we might be going hyperpop... but do I go the meme-y route or emotional? Both are bangers in their own right.

I really question the taste level of this forum sometimes... but thanks for those that did vote Aesthetica. And that new flag is cute! Might have to adopt it. Back to the drawing board.

Voted!

So is there gonna be a semi 2 listen through? Or are we getting neglected 😭

As far as semi 2, Sunday would personally be best for me!

I'm very happy I'm not in semi 1, that looks like it's gonna be ABSOLUTE CARNAGE! Excited to dive into the songs from semi 2 as the only ones I know ahead of time are the two anniversary entries!

Aesthetica has come back with the kpop hotness for the 134th Buzzjack Song Contest! Korean American Jessi hits you hard with crunchy guitars and a breakdown to die for paired with her signature raspy vocals. This is Jessi's second time appearing in the Contest, although the first time she has represented Aesthetica. Will Jessi do better this time around, or will she suffer a similar fate to her 127th Contest DNQ for POPHub? Time will tell. OEu1OWf8ezU

stay away from my song!!!

Confirmed nice and early! Feeling really strongly about my entry, but I also feel like that doesn't mean much because I've flopped with entries I've felt good about before :lol:

Oooh, some real standouts being revealed first! Although literally every song sent was really good so :lol:

Guaranteed it's a Britney song, they wouldn't have asked Derrick otherwise imo.

Well... :nocheer:

Just sent in my votes! What a lovely bunch of scores, it was super difficult to choose which to point.

Voted!

Sent two entries because I feel like my first choice is dancing on that line between score and soundtrack.

Very excited for this! I know about half of the artists already, but there's quite a lot of songs I've never heard, so I'm ready to sink my teeth into it all!

I feel like the judges were a little harsh with the commercial critiques, but I do agree that Symone and Rose deserved the challenge win. I think Mik deserved to be in the bottom more than Tina, but Mik's look was better so I can see why that saved her. THAT LIPSYNC! I was convinced that they were gonna keep Tina (despite the fact that I love Utica), so when Utica won it, my jaw DROPPED. Not all that sad to see Tina go, though, because she's been getting on my nerves for weeks now personally.
