Juranamo

I think there's a fairly even split! Certainly nowhere close to last month's disparity!

Juranabaijan don't believe in enemies*: we want every country to be an ally! Unfortunately we don't have 31 12 pointers to go around, so we'll give ourselves 12 and graciously accept the mandated 12 points from everyone x (*Aside from that one time we tried to invade Áskorza [then Ashton], and our public disagreement with the noise Elëdan keeps sending [though we did really like their Halloween entry so we hope they know it's not personal 😘])

Oh, I forgot the rest of the rule didn't I? Mulgracia get everyone's 10 points to ensure at least one qualification this year, flexibility has been granted in what points are allowed to give their 8, 7, 6 and 5 points, but it must be Taahino, Hushkanukia, Macromia, and Spiceland in the hope that it convinces them to continue entering into 2027 (and keep serving us bangers*) All other points can go to anyone. Sorry that I truncated the new rule! 😘 * I haven't heard Hushky, Macromia, or Spiceland's song, but Husky got points in the first two contests of the year and Macromia had high points from me when they DNQed in their last contest x

Joe McElderry is the Phantom Of The DiscothequeJuranabaijan, spookily renamed JurHAMMERbaijan for the 6th BJSC Halloween Spin Off contest, achieved 19th place with 51 points! Our score was revealed first, so we knew it was unlikely that we'd win, but our result was much better than we anticipated! Juranabaijan thanks all countries that voted for us for their points! The video is linked here, if you missed the contest! For What It's Worth......BITTER KISSES could deliver Juranabaijan's first victory in the Buzzjack Song Contest. BITTER KISSES 2023 single, 'For What It's Worth', has been selected as our entry for the 190th contest. The band describe themselves as pop-metal: "a metal band with songs so catchy they need their own vaccine... think Bring Me The Horizon, Queens Of The Stone Age, and Lady Gaga, shaken, not stirred". The song has less than 33k plays on Spotify, and the video currently has less than 800 views on YouTube, so we hope that its a welcome discovery, even for those who are fans of rock music! Please see the video below:

I'm happy to summarise. A rule has been put in place that everyone in the allies of green semi has to give Juranabaijan their 12 points, otherwise they receive a 100% point reduction! People are discussing how fantastic this new rule is x

Not me spending ages this morning creating playlists before I saw this 😭🤣

I'm hoping the fact that I have Taahino in my semi, as well as Peach PRC (what I've heard from them(?) was fairly rocky iirc) is a good omen. Though last time me and Taahino were in the same semi with female fronted rock acts, Taahino hoovered up most of the votes so I have a bit of trauma from that 🤣 #justice4supermodels x

I really love 'Never Be Me', 'Sorry You're Not Sorry', and 'Crash!'. This one and 'Digital Girl' didn't leave as much of an impression, but I guess this is its chance to grow! (If it makes it out of the semi, obv)

Well that's not song I expected, but the artist prediction was it! 'You First' is one of my favourites off This Is Why! I hope it does really well!

In fairness, as a newcomer to the contest, alot of what might get vetoed here you wouldn't necessarily know about! Much of the time, songs that get vetoed are by atrists that have been entered into the contest multiple times, or are big hits/by obviously popular acts! You'll get the hang of it soon enough 🥰 I'd suggest looking in the songs of BJSC thread, if the artist you're thinking of sending has been sent 3 or 4 times before within the last 10 or so years, it's probably fairly likely to rack up a fair few veto points! I know I've teetered close to a veto once this year!

65 countries. I'm gonna assume that's the most I've ever completed with... Have we had that many at any point this year? If not, anyone know the last time we had as many/more?

Are my eyes deceiving me has Rich not confirmed yet? We can't have a Rontvia-less contest, surely?!

Oh no I've forgotten the green thing. When do we have to have it with you by, Freeze? Failing that, feel free to use my hair 🤣

Yep, I saw their Twenty Years and Home tour the other day, so I've been listening to Twelve Stops And Home loads. It's one of my favourite albums! They'll definitely all drop out next week! Glad you like those new entries and I think they have plenty of space to grow over the next few weeks! Thanks for commenting 😊

Every now and then I remember I have a potentials playlist, occasionally I add things to it, I think I listened to the playlist once. It's effectively a graveyard for what I heard once and saw some potential in. Maybe I should use that next year... Lol I can't be bothered to change my entry this month and I really like it so will stick! It's the pop-punk sorta one (I'm probably wildly of with the genre, they describe themselves as pop metal "Bring Me the Horizon, Queens of the Stone Age and Lady Gaga in a blender" lol)
