Schlagerfest II: Jonas Benyoub ft. Bendik - Mamma Du putta nøkkelen til lykke inni lomma mi Så fikk jeg seile min egen sjø, men jeg Mista hjertet mitt på veien, rådvill Det er deg jeg ringer, ringer ingen andre Eg vil dra hjem Der kor gatene husker meg som liten Der eg lærte å bli til den eg e Eg vil dra hjem Du lot meg drømme Ut av vinduet fra blokka Du sa følg dem I made a milli, I ditt hjørnet mamma For this edition of Schlagerfest Lotunia has entered Jonas Benyoub in collaboration with Bendik. Jonas Benyoub is a well known rapper, producer and songwriter here in Norway, same goes for Bendik who rarely does not sing in Norwegian. A little context is probably needed for this song. The song was made for the show Hver Gang Vi Møtes (meaning Everytime We Meet in Norwegian) that showcases established artists in the Norwegian music scene which has been televised for over a decade. On this show artists sing each other's song, with each of the episodes being dedicated to the rendition of songs by one of the participants. For the latest season several artists that have appeared in BJSC were invited. Those artists being Astrid S, Carola, Kjartan Lauritzen and Ina Wroldsen (also known from Ask Embla). It was for the day dedicated to Ina Wroldsen “Mamma” was made, this song is a rendition of her song “Mother”. A song that touches upon her own longing for her mother and the impact she had on her. The importance and impact of her family was a theme throughout this whole episode, something that I think Jonas and Bendik expressed beautifully throughtout their own version of the song.

Confirmed, went Italian this time!

Another top 20 for Bulgaria! 🇧🇬

Alright, if there is anyone who still wants to enter they may do so using the google form. With that being said please send me a PM with a backup entry (if you have one in mind) if you are unsure if your prefered entry fits the bill! Tomorrow is going to be a bit crazy for me, but the voting thread should hopefully be up sometime around 6-7 pm (UK time)

Just a few hours left to confirm an entry!

I have received 14 entries! (Also ended up reconfirming - feeling very indecisive haha)

Thanks for the points, very happy with 18th! Congrats Dandy and thanks to Silas for hosting the results in a new suspenseful way 😄

Yeah, so this is on me, I completely forgot to add it to the guidelines, sorry! (I have added that to the OP now)

Please make sure that your artist(s) is from one of these countries! I can say now that there are at least two entries that does not feature Nordic singers/not based in a Nordic country.

Voted!

It's this one!

BJSC 176: Tatyana & Dian Solo - Prituri Sa Planinata The mountain has collapsed And buried two shepherds Two shepherd, two friends The first one begs, "Let me go, My first love is waiting for me" The second one begs "Let me go, My old mother is waiting for me" The mountain replies: "Oh, you two shepherds, A beloved one grieves from morning till noon A mother grieves for life" We are staying in Bulgaria for one more contest! This time we are sending a reindition of a Bulgarian folk song that was made famous by the Bulgarian folk singer Stefka Sabotinova. The version I am sending is sung by the Bulgarian pop singer Tatyana and produced by Dian Solo, perhaps best known for being part of Deep Zone who represented Bulgaria in the 2008 edition of Eurovision with the song "DJ, Take Me Away". Additionally, this is the song that I originally confirmed for BJSC 171 before I reconfirmed to RIIZE - Let's see if that was a good choice or not! This is also sort of a Séyetana recycle 😅 (their former entry "Dein Zuhause" by 8kids samples the same folk song)

Thinking of staying in Bulgaria for the next contest (alternativly moving on to some moody Croatian pop)

BJSC 175: Victoria - In Between I want to scream Let the water rush in It's the only place you left for me If the ocean is lonely Finally found myself in the deep Been gone for so long in the in between In the in between 15th

Voted, very happy with my top 5!

Voted!

Finding out how to embed the youtube videos was a struggle. My thread looks like a mess now (;_;) (All the colors, the formatting, the links 🥹)
