Good evening and welcome to Akatsuki, Lotunia! And… we are resurrecting another contest from 2016 :lol: Like the Movies spin-off I hosted earlier this year this is the second edition of Instrumentals. You will get one week to confirm an entry and then vote, and at last we will crown a winner! Now, before you enter a song using the link below there are some guidelines you need to follow. Please read through it carefully, and do ask if there is something that needs clarification. ♬Guidelines♬ ♬) The key to this spinoff, if you can't tell from the name of it, is that all entries must not have significant vocals - a word or two here and there won't get your entry thrown out but it must not have a substantial vocal hook or lyrics. Vocals along the lines of those in Martin Garrix's 'Animals' for example are about the acceptable limit. ♫) No songs that have charted in the UK top 10 (songs that charted lower may still be vetoed if they are deemed to be too well-known, though the veto will be much less strict than in a standard contest) ♪) No songs by artists who have artist forums on BuzzJack ♩) Past BJSC or spin-off entries will not be allowed. Please click here for a list of past entries of the main contest. Click here if you wish to see what was entered to the first Instrumentals spin-off. ♬Dates♬ Confirmations: 6th-13th October Voting: 14th-21st October Results: 22nd October ♬Click Here To Confirm Your Entry♬ ♬ Note: The confirmation period closes at 11:59pm the 13th of October ♬ ♬ Good luck everyone! ♬

I think I still enjoy the contest more or less the same since I first started. Yeah, there have been months where I have wished I just pulled out because of time issues (May, June and November have always been difficult because of exams 😅), but overall I don’t regret participating. This contest has now become one of my main places where I get new music from. Which I’m very thankful for. Also: 🎵Soon🎵

Thank you for hosting Oliver (lovely graphics :heart: ) and congrats to Rob S for getting another winner!! Very surprised by 10th - ty all for the votes!

lmao I just realised I lost my whole top 4 :/

Not my pop-rock song qualifying ty for all the votes!! In disbelief at Pophub not making it, that was by far the most obvious 12 for me in ages (;_;)

voted!

BJSC 157: Niniola - Addicted You know what i need You know i need it I'm so addicted I mean I can't live without it E-7bk5BW-RU By far one of our favorite contests this year <3 . Unfortunately, our chosen artist from Nigeria could not quite keep up - but the discoveries that I made this contest more then made up for it. ~~~ Foreign Language III: Lido Pimienta ft. Li Saumet – Nada I'll be sincere with you and I'm not afraid Of death, if it wants me I'll wait for it here and smile I carry the pain inside I carry the pain, it's present I'm a woman of moon blood Of Earth, salt and dune Without pity, without a doubt I carry the pain inside Cje1mE92Ymg From one wonderful contest to another! We took part in the third edition of the Foreign Language Spin-off and sent Colombian artists Lido Pimienta and Li Saumet (known from Bomba Estéreo). The end result was 10th, which is more than good enough – thank you to everyone who voted! ~~~ BJSC 158: Fefe Dobson - Ghost What's her name? What's she like? I should warn her that you'll never do her right All your games, all your lies I need to tell her, maybe I can change her mind You act like you just saw a ghost I watched you getting way too close Now I know why you're never there Now I know, so it's my turn to disappear You act like you just saw a ghost I caught you Now I know lXrFBsYKrgE Decided to go Canadian again and send another song called “Ghost”. Fefe Dobson is fairly known is her home-country. The song itself falls under the pop-rock umbrella which I feel like might have been quite popular during the time of its release – at the very least among the Disney girls. Just received some intel that this has been on drag race? wasn't aware of that but yay for that :lol: .

!!! omg are you trying to get me banned?? (;_;) (I like your song tho... pophub-lotunia alliance back on track?)

Entered a song! (No idea how this one is gonna do - assuming I get through the veto)

omg not my top 3 being the bottom 3

I will say this tho. I'm not surprised. I mean, I remember really loving my whole top 10 this time and wanting to vote for like 6 other songs (which I think all made it through?) + having 5-7 other songs that I would have considered voting for in a weaker contest. This includes countries that I would never consider voting for normally, so yeah everyone kinda brought something haha. I will gladly take 23 points - I usually get a lot less when I end last! TY to Kath for hosting, the angry dnq gifs were very funny ^_^

... now, I didn't say that :teresa:

omg I totally bombed this one

Voted!
