I just fully didn't think anyone else would confirm the artist before me. I didn't even wait that long to confirm it, the person who got the artist was the second person to confirm. Consider my innocence shattered. 😂

No it wasn't you. (Hope it's ok to reveal that) The other person confirmed them first anyway, so that's that, I just got complacent and thought there was no way someone would enter the artist I was going to send. 😅

Even though I didn't get my first pick, I still feel pretty good about my backup entry.

So far there's been a double confirmation (that I lost 😅) and a triple confirmation! So I've been kept busy. 😂

Wow there's already a conflict and I'm a part of it. 🤣 I really did not expect this to happen. I also confirmed it a few seconds later so I'm not going to get my original artist.

On behalf of Dalisska and the DALNET broadcasting group we welcome you to our country and to the capital city of Lyndra for the 182nd Buzzjack Song Contest. Dalisska first participated in BJSC many, many years ago and it's now with great delight that we welcome nations and their representatives from all over the Buzzjack world to the beautiful shores of Dalisska for the very first time. Over the course of the next three weeks many songs will be vying for your points, however in the end only one will rise to the top and be announced as the winner of BJSC 182. Before we begin BJSC 182 please keep the following rules in mind: For a general overview of BJSC's rules, please click HERE. If you are new to BJSC, then you can register your new country HERE. Welcome! You may not enter a song that has previously been entered to the BJSC, for a full up to date list of past BJSC entries you can click HERE. If you are unsure whether the song you want to enter will be vetoed, please take a look at the veto framework HERE. You may not enter any of the top three artists from the previous contest. So that means no First Aid Kit, Valencia Grace or Faouzia. Cheiron will auto-qualify for the final. If an even number of participants take part in this edition then Hushkanukia will also AQ. Please do not reveal your entry prior to the posting of the Semi Finals thread. Please confirm your entry before 23:59 GMT on Wednesday 18th February. I'm hoping to have the semi-finals posted the following evening on the 19th. You can confirm your entry for BJSC 182 by clicking the following link and filling in the form: CONFIRM ENTRIES HERE Confirmed Nations: (60) Hendinia POPHub Cor Lupus Dalisska Elëdan Jadakissnia Sovarasma Neliönoir Bronzil Lentyll Aeroche Zephyra Continuum Persephonia Lookylion Bøtanikkä A-Konohagakure Deandria Jupiterdonia Taahino Kluminican Republic Pestolia Cheiron Freidland N DNTN Greenfroze Zanmatony Fljótavík Scotland 2 Mothertopia Baleghde Macromia Ojnoj Pagasa Hushkanukia Ajanaeda Dobago East Rukahavian Lotunia Danæviia FARC Ennea Yehesi The Spodic Empire Cumulonimbia Flynnonda Altyr Muunilinst Land of DW Terra Avium Aelandor Séyetana New Lexico Summericia Juranabaijan Ben's Sanctuary République d'Áskorza Skall Wholune FSR Rontvia Harmonica Trifoski

Voted for "Died" My ranking: Died Believer The Astral Seer Aurorae

I'd personally rank them: Long For Vik's Rawcore Double Clover Party Cells

I'm hoping to post the confirmation thread at around 8pm GMT tonight.

I had entirely forgotten that Dalisska will still have to qualify through the semis until the mods let me know. 😅 So the idea of not qualifying for a contest I'm hosting is a little nerve wracking admittedly...but I feel pretty good about my planned entry so I don't think it's going to happen. (famous last words...🙃)

So, in an interesting turn of events I only just returned to the contest the other day and I'm already hosting. Dalisska is very happy to welcome you all to Lyndra (our beautiful coastal capital city) for the upcoming 182nd Buzzjack Song Contest! Last edition, Cheiron won for the first time with their song "Out of My Head" by First Aid Kid. Will we get another first time winner for BJSC 182 or will someone add another 1st place trophy to their collection? Only time will tell! Confirmations will be opening on the 11th of February. Use this thread to....tbh I'm not fully sure what happens in a green room thread! Be green and discuss things! 👽 (While I was figuring out what banner I'd make, I discovered a Japanese artist called Mizuki Heitaro, who has many pieces of artwork from the 1930s that are in the public domain. So I'm hoping to make a few more banners similar to the above one for the contest using their work)

(26 appearances in the final, with 14 non qualifications. So a total of 40 appearances overall)

I wasn't fully sure so I went to double check. Unless I've missed something, 8th place is Dalisska's second best result in BJSC ever....only beaten by a 5th place with Killabite - Follow Me Home. With the large amount of voters (and different voting system) I could see it being the most points Dalisska has ever received in a BJSC final though. I'm not sure where I'd find point totals for older contests though. Oh and also, thanks Dan for the hosting!

Congrats to Cheiron and Scene. Nice song, although it wasn't among my points. Congrats on the first win as well! Thanks everyone for an amazing 8th place for Dalisska!! 🥰🥰🥰 I knew there were some people who were really into my song this month but a top 10 finish is still beyond what I had thought was possible. 😍

Thanks Pagasa for the 18 points! ❤️

Thanks to Trifoski for the 15 and Aelandor for the 4! 😄

Thanks Cumulonimbia for the 18 points and Macromia for the 6! 😍

Thanks to Jadakissnia for the 18 points! 😁 Wow, top 10! 🫨

Thanks Mattias for the 15 points! (and Bøtanikkä for the 5 points!)

Oh wow, thank you to FSR Rontvia for the 18 points! 😁 I'm not sure if Dalisska has ever received the top mark from FSR Rontvia before? (tbh I don't remember my previous time in the contest that well. 😅)

Ooh thank you for the 18 Sovarasma! 😁

Thank you Ennea for the first points! ❤️

Congrats to everyone who qualified and commiserations to those who didn't. Very happy with my Q and 9 out of 10 qualifiers from my votes. 😁

Me waiting for the final semi one qualifiers to be announced:
