LexC

To add my two cents, I think this is ultimately one of those things where people will vote with their personal conscience on an AI song and ultimately BJSC as a community can dictate the morality of entering a 100% AI generated song - which judging by the comments in this thread is not likely going to be succesful. I do wonder if we're at a crossroads now though and we're increasingly going to have a lot more songs being released as part of the wider music industry that are at least in part made with AI without it necessarily being disclosed.

Hey y'all - Rich and the mods know this already but for full transparency it's unlikely I'll be voting in the semis as my Dad had to go into hospital on Wednesday so this week has been busy AF and life comes first obviously. Still, not above using this situation to beg for sympathy votes, vote New Lexico and support trans rights!

New Lexico 180: Eli - Like A Girl

Who’s ready to be my sworn enemy this month?

what makes a woman a girl what makes a boy a man nlx 180

who really are you underneath your shell if your shell is not definitive and your shell can be transformed nlx 180

This pussy's confirmed x

In the spirit of 180, New Lexico are taking us sonically back to where this contest began with a pop number straight out of the mid 00s.

Did think about boycotting the thievery but I'm all about #personalgrowth and also it would have left me with only 14 songs worth voting for in this khia ass contest.

Pophoes are booked and blessed business fish, y’all are lucky that I listen at all x

New Lexico's completely unbitter jury has voted x

Weren't there two countries who everyone knew/suspected were the same person in the early days but somehow managed to get away with entering for a few months?

It's what you deserve you song stealing SLAG! probably still gonna vote for it though x

Already dropped the lore in the other thread re: New Lexico. In terms of where I got my previous contry names Allecian - ....no thoughts, head empty (see also: my choice of entries from BJSC 5 - 13) Scruvovnia - idk I was bored of Allecian and it sounded at least slightly more like the name of an actual country, giving defunt eastern european kingdom vibes

These BJSC children have never had to pre-draft a PM with the confirmation details to send it over train WiFi on a pre-refresh BuzzJack on an iPod touch in 2012! Still got NERVO - You're Gonna Love Again though (sorry Klum x)

Sending a song you've never heard - that's camp!

Just spat my drink out at BJSC themed birthday cake! (please somebody find a photo) My stupid lore drop is that the idea for the country name "Lexico" was inspired by the running joke that several people both online and IRL mistakenly think I'm hispanic (including a kid I taught three years ago who legit asked me "are you Mexican?"). I also entered as Lexico for around 1-3 contests before I took a short break and used that as an excuse to rebrand to "New Lexico" which has stuck ever since.

Dare whoever the host is on the next Cor Lupus win to do this exact strategy!

I also remember a lot of drama over Tim getting vetoed over a "mod discretion" veto when like four people posted to let slip that they already knew what song it was but I think the veto got appealed/rescinded?

The sequel to the Pavel "twist" drama being that he got delt the same treatment when I won BuzzJack BigBrother (forever my lone popularity contest win on this forum). The single digit/early teen contests had the horrors of the "reservation thread". This was back in the days when it was very much a spinoff of the Eurovision forum and a lot of people were having 'national finals' where you could "reserve" about four songs per contest for your national final, only to not use three or, if you found something else, none of them in the actual contest.

So to summarise: That slag Rob steals my entry when he only found it the day of confirmations opening I get robbed of an AQ by the odd number of entries I get screwed by maybe the worst semi-final draw possible BJSC 179, get tae f***!

It's a working theory I suppose that it can be a good thing to have a smaller number of "your genre" voters in your semi as then you're more likely to get a concentrated set of votes from all of them rather than spread across 20 other entries. I say this on the basis of absolutely zero statistical evidence of course!

You're welcome hun x

Sifted Semi 2 down to my top 10, just working out the exact order before I submit the votes.

Oh the plug.dj era - such a missed opportunity to push that more during the pandemic. Remembering those days of the general plug seshes where you'd sneak one of your potentials on to the list as "just this new song I heard the other day lol"
