*ahem* Biggest contest since XXVII? I THINK SO!! :yahoo:

39 confirmed entries so far! I've got my internet back now by the way. :) Confirmation still closes at midday on Sunday, but please NO MORE CHANGES after midday tomorrow.

I don't think it's hugely standout, but I do think it's a move in the right direction and a much more international sound than anything from his first album or indeed Popular. The album itself will be telling...I suppose there wasn't really anything to say whether Hearts In The Air would be the first international single - I doubt it will be now!

I quite like it to be honest...it's not Popular (in either sense of the word) but I wouldn't have said it was a HUGE drop in quality.

Clearly his popularity in Sweden has been VASTLY overstated by a certain blogger... And I'm pretty sure he's on Spotify over there, so it's no defence really.

I wonder how Mr. Scandipop is going to gloss over this one... That is if he can even see what's going on with his head all the way up Mr Saade's arse.

Yes :)

Go ahead :)

Sorry about the snail's pace folks. Tinnmark, Letland, Ashton, FNT Nickodonia and Allecian, your confirmations have all been accepted, bringing the count up to 35. FYR Vojvodina-on-the-Wold and Isconia, your changes are fine. Lotopialand, Quotosibb and Fanadminaj, I've recieved your confirmations and I'll get back to you ASAP.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Due to ongoing problems with the communications network in the host country, confirmation has been extended and will now close at midday on Sunday rather than Saturday. All other dates remain the same.

I wish I'd been around in those days. So much more exciting. :(

Hey all, I'm coming to you live from the ONLY internet cafe in Herzebania it seems... The 30 countries listed on the first page have all had their confirmations recieved and approved. On top of those, I have recieved confirmations from Tinnmark, Letland, Ashton, Allecian and FNT Nickodonia which are currently being vetted. Apologies once again for the snail's pace this is going at, hopefully I'll have my internet up and running again tomorrow!

That's very much my attitude towards it, I just wanted to give him a chance to have a say (and for all hell NOT to break loose!). Unfortunately the problem is now my internet. I will update the list as soon as possible, but suffice to say that all entries confirmed before midnight have been approved, and the count is now at 33. EDIT: actually forget that last bit, a couple are still up in the air. Apologies, normal service will be resumed when BT stop being twats!

Yes I have got it...the list is the countries who have been approved by the mods so far. It's been a bit of a slow process in the last couple of days as we're one mod down; one who I hesitate to make decisions in the absence of.

I've sent the list of entries so far to the rest of the mods and once they've been approved then I'll post the list of countries. I don't want to post any countries that may possibly have to change their entry. But suffice to say, we've had 24 confirmations so far.

Oh yes, true! But yeah my point was if it's a group it's not OK, but in the case of Idool 2011, it's a sort of anonymous ensemble, so an artist from it being entered would hardly have much of an advantage because of his/her high placing last month.

Well, the former - no, the latter - probably.

http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u11/gooddelta/bjscxxxvherzebania.jpg Hey all! So here we are again, after more than two years, the Buzzjack Song Contest is finally back in Herzebania, and it all kicks off tonight! Now is the time for you to confirm what you wish to send to the contest by sending me a PM in the following format: Country: Artist: Song: Link: (preferably Youtube or Soundcloud) As always, these entries will be vetted by the mods for glaring cheapness, but apart from that there are just a few basic rules: Nothing from the Eurovision Song Contest, and you can't send something from the same artist you sent last month. Also, nothing from any artist to feature in last month's top three; that would be Charice, Those Dancing Days, or the Belgian Pop Idols. However if you wish to send something from any individual contestant featured on "More To Me" that is allowed. Obviously you can't send anything that has been sent to a previous contest and that included cover versions. To save everyone time, make sure to consult the Songs of BJSC thread if you're unsure (and I promise the mods will do the same :P ). If your entry is against the rules or is vetoed, you will recieve a PM at the earliest opportunity telling you to change your entry. Confirmation is open until noon on Sunday 19th June. Late confirmations will not be accepted. No changes to confirmations after midday on Saturday!! That's about it for now, so I now declare the 35th Buzzjack Song Contest OPEN! Please feel free to use this thread to discuss songs that you're thinking of confirming, but do not give away what you have actually confirmed, or there'll be trouble!

:lol: Nah, I was going to go out for a lovely civilised meal with the other half but now we're just going out and getting off our tits later on instead!

Actually, chillax people. We're back on track for 7pm :)

Right folks, here's the thing! I now have plans in real life (I know, heaven forbid!) so I may have to open this a little earlier than anticipated. Any objections? Well obviously anybody who is reading this is online now and therefore probably won't mind, but I thought I'd give warning anyway :lol:

HIDELY HO!! Confirmation will be starting at 7pm tonight. That is all. :)

It's just not necessary! It's a bit of fun useless trivia that doesn't really mean anything in practice. It's not perfect but neither, like I've already said, is the all time ranking. They're both based on points scored, nobody is pretending otherwise, so with that in mind, it's completely and utterly accurate.

http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u11/gooddelta/bjscxxxvherzebania.jpg Evening all! I'm very pleased to announce that the 35th Buzzjack Song Contest will indeed be taking place in Herzebania for the 2nd time. After Charice's win, it was decided by Herzebanian officials that they couldn't possibly pass up the opportunity to host the biggest song contest in the Buzzjack world. Feel free to discuss anything you like in here, falling short, obviously, of definite entry decisions for the forthcoming competition. Now for the all important dates. Provisionally they are as follows: Confirmation opens: Saturday 11th June Confirmation closes: Saturday 18th June Semi-final voting: Saturday 18th June - Saturday 25th June Semi-final results: Saturday 25th June (pm) Final voting: Sunday 26th June - Saturday 2nd July Final results: Sunday 3rd July (pm) CONFIRMATION OPENS AT 7PM ON SATURDAY 11th JUNE (TONIGHT!!) Finally, a big thanks to FSR Rontvia's top design team for putting together the artwork for this month's contest.

:lol: Funny that...
