Confirmed! My obsession with this song remains as strong as ever

@Jade getting the entire top 10 set in just 11 appearances!

Congrats to 4 people who confirmed artists I hadn’t already known :’) BJSC 1-10 could nevah

I entered something that I believe should qualify as pop but honestly i am not totally sure x

I loved the title track. Talk To Me was okay but I didn’t find it groundbreaking. it’s something I would expect from Robyn so I feel lowkey disappointed. 1/3 of the album already out and we are 2.5 months away.

Lady Twigs in pretty much every section. 🥰

Having this down to complete luck could be more fun. I think knowing spoilers is definitely something that should prevent one from participating in the non-random draw. Although I’m not sure if this would matter anyway as no one seems to care regardless oops

I already have mine so I’m down for some random.org action x

Do it! Straight office Germans aren’t going to educate themselves

Ah yeah of course, I don’t doubt for a second she’s still the same old racist ignorant terrible person. It’s just fascinating how volatile and opportunistic people like that are.

I just saw some of the most recent things that Marjorie Taylor Greene said and I was utterly shocked to see how much her views (or whatever she’s been putting out to tw*tter at least) have shifted since the fallout with her fascist tsar/daddy. It’s like she’s a totally new person now and I agree with a lot of what she says. What the f*** is happening :’)

Ah yes, the famous drug cartels from Greenland must be stopped

The Australian version was really fun, I really appreciated the person who got rid of all of the yapping and ‘where are you from?’ etc. and came up with that 3-hour edit of the entire series.

Wouldn’t it be more fun to pick them out blindly especially since most people here are spoiler divas? x

Even worse than having no songs at all x

Wow Jade how dare you not have any Lithuanian songs in your personal chart

Yay, another E-country! Welcome from Elëdan 💃🏼

Omg not the ultra rare Ronya mention ;__:

Quite ironic that I sent Jackie Extreme to BJSC twice before purely because of the ‘100% virtual artist’ gimmick. This was some years before the craze had started and it definitely didn’t mean the same as it does now. Not sure how feasible and implementable it would be to ban ‘known’ AI entries so I don’t really have an opinion on whether or not they should be outright banned. All I know is that I will never purposely send any song done even partially by AI. I will also never give any points to a song made using AI, nor will I even listen to it. I personally don’t see any valid excuse whatsoever for AI usage of any kind in both music and art. Not judging or targeting anyone in this forum at all but I find virtually any use of LLMs as lazy and stupid at best. Creating something (e.g. “”””art””””) using LLMs crosses a serious line for me. I cannot believe how many people are profiting of it in the world at the moment, putting creatives out of work and polluting the internet, training off other data plopped out of different LLMs being trained on the first LLM’s output. An infinitely incestuous monster that multiplies exponentially is what we get, and frankly what we deserve given how little pushback seems to be happening in the world and how complacent we’re becoming. Regardless, I believe that LLMs by themselves have no technical capacity to evolve into something bigger and better (like promised). It’s just a stupid gimmick akin to Mechanical Turk but instead of a real person hidden inside, there are just thousands of servers storing unfathomably large amounts of (stolen) data using systems that were invented years ago, all while wasting huge amounts of water and electricity. tl;dr :’) I f***ing hate AI and all the tech bros pedaling it with every fiber of my being. Feel free to send known AI songs to BJSC if you wish but I will unlikely even listen to it.

“Contrary to international law”. What a joke. Russia had already invaded, it’s been THREE YEARS. What an absolute f***ing moron.

Predictable behaviour from the cheeto here, all to distract from the Epst*in shitshow he is in. Super coincidentally, Venezuela also has a major oil reserve. I really wonder how the Trump supporters are going to double down here given this is almost literally what Putin is doing.

Skall will stay in the EOY top 10. Elëdan will get one of 4th or 6th place finishes. Séyetana will score a top 5. Kluminican Republic and Aeroche will have swapped over 100 points, again. Cor Lupus will complain every single contest about not qualifying but will score 5 top 10s including two medals and continue their qualification streak. There will not be a tiebreak at the top.

I did NOT expect Tatu to land us in the all-time Top 5 ooops Third to last with Shadeux though lol
