I still don't know when untouched was ![]() BJSC VI. I think post-Bev is a much better term. It was quite obviously Beverley Knight winning that made the contest grow. ![]() I've just listened to my 7 entries and they're well good innit. ![]() This post has been edited by Aaron™: 16th December 2008, 07:21 PM |

Post-Untouched doesn't refer in any way to people liking or disliking Smack Me
it's because interest in the contest had been flagging after V and we were going to have a long break whilst Eurovision was on...which may well have made a lot of people forget about the contest altogether but then I discovered this Untouched song and asked if we could bring the contest forward because I was desperate to send this song...which quickly reignited interest in the contest with many new countries joining up for XI, which led to stuff like The Green Room, Odds Threads, general heightening of discussion/interest etc..., much of which may not have happened if we had left it any longer...it was fate ![]() Pre-Untouched refers to 'the time when few people cared' whilst post Untouched refers to 'the time when everyone cared' ![]() even I didn't have that much interest in the first three contests and if I'd flopped with Love Song I probably would have pulled out |

Never gonna happen though, I try to hard to find a good song that'll qualify and I didn't try with Bev at all. If only I joined this sooner, it was easier to qualify back then. |

'Tis the gospel truth...we had even announced (I think...if we hadn't then we were on the verge of doing so) that contests would've been changed to happen only once every two months. Untouched/Rich saved us all! ![]() ![]() absolutely...I wouldn't have cared particularly at that point had it gone bi-monthly...but people at that point thought that we were doing them too frequently and needed longer breaks between each one nowadays, 6 weeks between contests seems like a lifetime ![]() |

Of course BJSC VI is the turn around contest in terms of Green Rooms, rivalries, discussion etc. but I don't really see it as the saviour contest. Most of the new countries were probably as a result of it being Eurovision time. I knew about this forum since it was made, but I didn't start here until Eurovision time this year as I was in the forum, so I paid attention to the sub-forum. I would assume Herzebania and Dalisska were similar as they both like Eurovision. I think Sangria and Dulpaen were the other new countries and one of them joined because I told him.

although Rontvia is seen as 'so June 2008' by some sources and is looking to remind people this month that we don't like to miss the final ![]() Only by Emilia, and she ended up sixth anyway ![]() ![]() |

I'm not pretending to be the saviour of the contest...I'm just saying that a lot of things slotted into place because of Smack Me
![]() I'm disappointed that of the two contests I hosted, V wasn't seen as much of a classic and VIII was seen as forgettable ![]() |

It's not as fun when the winner is so obvious. I'd have loved to host something like X. |

I'd have loved to host something like X. you're right actually...there was odds for V... but Green Room definitely kick started the discussion and I'm 90% sure that it was Sabrewulf or maybe Alexxx who started it...can't remember off hand though X would have been fun to host, definitely, so wide open, I certainly didn't see a Brandy win on the cards...it's the only winner I haven't predicted correctly in the past 6 contests ![]() |
