how entries do in the semi-finals are a bit overlooked here, so which entries have done well in the semi-finals for you?
The following finished top 5 in the semi for me; Entry No. // Final Position // Final Points // Semi Final Position // Semi Final Points // Performer(s) ~ Song 01 // 25 // 51 // 05 // 69 // Danny Dove & Ben Preston feat. Susie Ledge ~ Falling 18 // 15 // 80 // 05 // 93 // Cahill feat. Kimberley Locke ~ Feel the Love 30 // 25 // 79 // 05 // 96 // Jenny Mayhem & The Fuzz Orchestrator ~ Bad Girls (SLO LOV Remix) 32 // 11 // 108 // 05 // 84 // Shadow Child & Doorly ~ Climbin' (Piano Weapon) 34 // 06 // 158 // 03 // 111 // Pep & Rash ~ Rumors yes I actually have 5 top 5 semi-final finishes to my name, plus an additional 5 in the semi-final top 10. Naturally my only top 10 finisher is the one that finished highest for me, #3 in the semi. |

Wonder - Adventure Club came second with 134 points and 20/29 voters in the semi which is definitely our best.
However, our best result in the final (Thinking About It - Just Kiddin) came fourth with 92 points and 15/30 votes in the semi.  Marlon Roudette and that came 13th and that's it

I've won the semi-final twice, with Jaymes Young (actually beat Belanger in the semi!) and Kids Of The Apocalypse. My actual final winner Jay Dabhi came 2nd in the semi, MILES behind Mr.Kitty. And I had one other top 2 finish in the semi, with Paris XY's 'The Return' which came 24th in the final and I'm still bitter.

Still, last laugh and all that now it's a big hit

I've had something like 6 SF winners. Bit insane really considering I've only had 1 winner and rather ironically that was during the 1BF era.

Flight Facilties' 'I Didn't Believe' came top 5 in the semi with almost 100 points yet only finished 23rd and now MOWE which I see now has gone from top 5>22nd in the final, I'd mainly be happy with those placings as they're better than bottom 5 but seeing that really sucks
Un Nouveau Soleil has alas been the only one of my entries that's done really well in the semi and then replicated that in the final.

I came second in 68 with "Surf Solar" but that was thanks to ending up in a very Fuck Buttons friendly semi.

NERVO and Ask Embla won their semis I believe? (Bray/Ryan should know this at the very least).

Three of my songs have come Top 5 in the semis stage:
1st Sharon Doorson - Killer 2nd Natalie La Rose - Somebody 4th 3LAU - How You Love Me Otherwise I've scraped into the final twice now, coming 15th & 16th in the semis with Joel Compass & Lion Babe respectively. DNQ'd with these positions: 16th/18th/18th/20th Lion Babe has become an anomaly for me! |

I've had SEVEN semi victories to date, only ONE of which was an overall winner (|||||). Blonde came THIRD, madly. The rest were all POP STOMPERS so didn't have wide enough appeal I guess.

Oh yeah, I've only had the odd semi smashes but I do have 2 wins, which for someone who's never won is rather good I guess. Relevant top 5 ones here: BJSC 45 3rd Ruby Frost - Water To Ice BJSC 48 1st Dream Beats (feat. The Face) - Love Stuck BJSC 54 3rd Amaranthe - Amaranthine BJSC 58 1st Cardiknox - Hold Me Down (lol) BJSC 65 3rd Archis - Blood BJSC 66 4th charisma.com - Iinadukeblue BJSC 71 2nd Rachel Taylor - Porcelain |

I remember being so shocked f(x) was second in the semi, shame about the major collapse in the final :drama; Same with Spark coming 3rd, both must have been quite pop semis or something idk :/ Conversely, KYA and HyunA did much better than projected.

I mean I wish I kept all my stats about everything BJSC related lol (I did go checking for some notables just now) but my stats nerd ranking is currently: half-assed.
I do know I have never won a semi-final and rarely have come top 10 in one. My only winner to date (BJSC 81's Allie X - Sanctuary) came 2nd in its semi. Ladytron - Destory Everything You Touch from BJSC 11 (!!!) came 8th in the semi before coming 4th in the final, 'Ankara' from 93 came 6th in the semi before coming 11th in the final and 'Falcons' from 99 came 5th in the semi before also coming 11th in the final (I had a bit of an 11th place curse last year haha). Pretty sure everything else has been either a DNQ or just kinda got through in a forgettable position... |
