Coming for LAST PLACE in the semi again with this one *.*

Posted by: Ezra's Whore 9th October 2015, 10:32 PM

......Borrowing from Flynnonda are we?

In all seriousness I so glad you entered this and wish I could vote for it and Damm if this does better then Sliverlined....

Posted by: Mart!n 9th October 2015, 10:33 PM

Avec Sans and jj tracks I know, actually the band name is spelt wrong, sticks Pusheen's head on

Posted by: Ryan. 9th October 2015, 10:34 PM

Haha yes! I attempted to enter it last contest but couldn't because Silverlined had already been entered, so glad I've got the opportunity this month instead.

Very pleased to see Drew entered, I considered her too last contest - she was my favourite contestant in the first season of X Factor USA!

Posted by: Chez Wombat 9th October 2015, 10:45 PM

I have loved everything that OMFG has produced thus far, so if this is the same, I may be able to prevent that Glad to finally see her entered, been considering I Love You for ages.

I remember that Diablo String Orchestra song from plug, what a debut *.* and may my Bulgarian banger slay you all etc.

Posted by: Pusheen 9th October 2015, 10:57 PM

Not heard too much of this semi already, hooray! Seems to be mostly quite inspired and varied as well, apart from Ramrynia AS ALWAYS (come on Ryan, that song has literally been top 100 on UK iTunes recently as well as being a one-month-later recycle ), and on the opposite end of the spectrum Cumulonimbia's pick, while a fantastic song, also seems just a tad uninspired what with the Mercury Prize! Looking forward to listening. Woop.

Looks like another intriguing entry choice from Singerpurear Living for the variety. And if that OMFG song is anything like the ones I've heard from Chez Wombat that is indeed a pretty UNEXPECTED direction for Altyr Muunilinst.

Thrilled to see Quintessa going with Avec Sans, big hit for them please!

Posted by: Ryan. 9th October 2015, 11:01 PM

Ramrynia have been quite inspired recently actually! And there has been no sign of Do It Well in the top 1500 for weeks now as I have been checking to make sure it wasn't taking off anywhere so it was most certainly a flash in the pan~

Posted by: Cameron 10th October 2015, 06:42 AM

Not too sure how I'll do in this semi , but finders crossed

Posted by: Adam's Stories😍 10th October 2015, 09:00 AM

I don't believe it! Several more previous pottashes in here as well (my only fear is one of them will win one day :/)
The Six song wasn't a pottash as such but the title does seem familiar. And I've heard several songs by Swanky Tunes so that one is most likely also a pottash.

And once again the green glob Johnkm has been putting on his thieving mask and stolen my OMFG Ice Cream pottash just like last month!

Posted by: Gage 10th October 2015, 10:09 AM

I'll be keeping an eye on "Pretty Little Gangster", been a potential of mine for the last couple of contests.

Posted by: Jade 10th October 2015, 12:50 PM

Only know a few upon first glance as per - so thrilled Hushkanukia have gone with 'Wolf'! Persephonia bringing it for Halloween also *.*

Posted by: Cody Slayberry 10th October 2015, 03:18 PM

Can I just say that this is the first time I've gotten into a Singerpurear entry so you better let it through

Posted by: Jade 10th October 2015, 05:35 PM

Completed my first listen through and have a solid top 10!

Incredibly impressed with the offerings from the debuting nations in this semi.

Posted by: Doctor Blind 10th October 2015, 06:57 PM

True but to be fair, they don't seem to have had much notice/success as a result sadly - they have still yet to chart with a single, and the album and follow-up charted at 35 and 41 respectively. : (

Also Get Up was a Doctor Blind #1 in March 2014 well before the Mercury, maybe I should have sent it back then!

Posted by: JSG 10th October 2015, 09:14 PM

mp3 packs are up et voila.

Posted by: JSG 12th October 2015, 05:09 AM

Halfway though the voting today And voila. Only had four voters so far including myself. Reminders will be sent out tomorrow with final reminders on Thursday. Remember no late votes will be accepted And to avoid a 33% deduction from the semi results (is it 33%?) you need to vote

Posted by: Doctor Blind 12th October 2015, 05:39 AM

To be fair, we've had 2 days to vote so far and that was the Weeknd !

Posted by: JSG 12th October 2015, 07:45 AM

I was legit thinking that when I started work this morning sorry!

Posted by: Doctor Blind 12th October 2015, 03:22 PM

Just listening now through for the first time. Thank the lord for Trifoski, N DNTN and Jadakissnia to break up the endless identikit female lead vocal uplifting melody that BESIEGES these contests.

Nice shout on Polar Dear, which I entered in Unknown Pleasures back in 2011 I believe.

Posted by: Vülker 12th October 2015, 04:23 PM

The Vülkyrian delegation threw a rave in honour of JOYRYDE's anthem of an entry but no one went because no one knows anybody in Vülkyria so it was all a bit awkward.

Posted by: Cameron 12th October 2015, 05:02 PM

Posted by: Jade 12th October 2015, 05:54 PM

Actual hype *.* very glad to hear that you're liking it, yay! <3

Posted by: popchartfreak 12th October 2015, 06:29 PM

thanks Cody, I think it will be one of those love or hate tracks

Posted by: Pusheen 12th October 2015, 07:16 PM

I swear I heard Lisa Ajax saying 'I'm a jihadi'.

Posted by: randomfurlong 12th October 2015, 07:49 PM

Later than is really helpful, I'm here with the https://open.spotify.com/user/randomfurlong/playlist/3XFOh2iUEHfcuYISenNMQO! Alas, we are missing:

09 ∞ Syndare - Tanika - F***boy
12 ∞ Singerpurear - Reol feat. Nqrse - LUVORATORRRRRY!
13 ∞ Land Of DW - Polar Dear - Even If I'm Late
15 ∞ Terra Avium - DIA - ЕГЕЯ
25 ∞ Harmonica - Rachael Lampa - Avalanche
27 ∞ Ojnoj - Luyanna & Mampi - Why
29 ∞ Vülkyria - Joyryde - Give My Love

Yes, that's right: my own song isn't even on there. Gasp.

Posted by: Pusheen 12th October 2015, 08:10 PM

Just finished first listen through and I have 11 songs I want to vote for, eep ~ Will be having another listen through before voting anyway.

'Pakka Sharabi' MUST qualify somehow to atone for 'Look / Lak' missing out last time pls, even though it's not as good. #PunjabiHype

Posted by: HausEveryWeekend 12th October 2015, 08:10 PM

A pretty good semi! Delivering bucket-loads of fresh Hushkanukia / Unovia hiipe after my listen through <3

'Pakka Sharabi' is on there!? That crossover appeal *.*

Posted by: Cameron 12th October 2015, 08:15 PM

Yes Bal!

Posted by: · ketalina · 12th October 2015, 08:24 PM

oops!

Posted by: Pusheen 12th October 2015, 08:32 PM

Yehesi's and Aprogonia's songs might as well have been literally identical though for real.

Posted by: Doctor Blind 12th October 2015, 08:45 PM

My beef is never with you ketalina, at least you actually push the boundaries rather than slipping to predictable populism.

Posted by: burbe 13th October 2015, 07:45 PM

I have voted

Posted by: April 13th October 2015, 08:07 PM

That coincidence though *.*

Posted by: popchartfreak 13th October 2015, 09:39 PM

On first run-through (leaving it late busy busy!) there are 20 songs chasing points and lots of interesting entries which need more listens, but my initial reaction is it's a Ramrynia, Persephonia, Kylienips hype triad likely ahead of heel-nipping others, but there's off the wall success for Vulkyria and Cumulonimbia I kinda think. Winner in this semi? Oooh Unovia? Tough to call!

Posted by: Cal 13th October 2015, 10:53 PM

Almost finished listening to all of these and I'm loving it so far. Really good semi!

Posted by: Jonjo 14th October 2015, 01:20 AM

Yeah. I'm about half way through and I'm LOVING it. This is final worthy (so far x)

Singerpurear hype! *.*

Posted by: JSG 14th October 2015, 04:38 AM

There are now now countries on 0 points

Semis close tomorrow at midnight so reminders will be coming to the remainder 24 people later today.

My votes will be in tonight

Posted by: popchartfreak 14th October 2015, 03:03 PM

yay Jonjo!

PS. Botannika need some hype I think, pon de replay....

Posted by: JSG 14th October 2015, 07:10 PM

Yasssssss I agree. Singerpurear hype!

Posted by: Izzy Stars 14th October 2015, 07:17 PM

Gods yes. It's about time some anime-esque tunes got recognised around here. <3

Posted by: Mart!n 14th October 2015, 07:22 PM

Boted... I nearly sent my votes to Jade

Posted by: popchartfreak 14th October 2015, 07:44 PM

I too boted, and gracias for the hype James and Iz!

sorry to the 10 songs in advance who got cruelly cast aside like a raggedy doll being snarled by a rabid hound. What a lovely image...

Posted by: Pusheen 14th October 2015, 07:46 PM

Ugh on second listen I've gone from wanting to vote for 11 songs to wanting to vote for 12 songs, HELPFUL. Really hope the 2 I've cut out aren't like 1 point from qualifying as I can see both being pretty borderline

My votes will be with you shortly ~

Posted by: Leonardo 14th October 2015, 10:26 PM

I also hype Botanikka, standout entry for me.

Posted by: JSG 15th October 2015, 12:36 AM

Just under 24 hours to vote. Reminders have been send out and there are still 17 countries to vote.

Posted by: Chez Wombat 15th October 2015, 12:51 AM

Should be 16 now

Echo that this was a really strong semi, really loved all my top 10 and had to make three painful omissions. Generally the same countries I usually vote for but there's a few curveballs in there too~

Posted by: Liаm 15th October 2015, 01:00 AM

Voted earlier, a quite consistent semi. Only one real strong standout but it was very hard to separate the rest of my top 10, they were very close together.

Posted by: JSG 15th October 2015, 09:34 AM

I sent everyone that had left to vote a reminder around midnight. Just incase you miss the message, this is just letting you know that semi votes are due on by midnight tonight. No late votes will be accepted.

Posted by: *Tim 15th October 2015, 03:32 PM

Kylienips have found their mojo DAYUM.
They have been on point lately

EDIT: Omg at Huskunakidnasdvwa sending one of my all time X Factor NL faves
I didn't even know she was still doing music

This semi final quality is crazy high, even Jadafloppybitchnia ha sang is voteable.

It was a very tough semi.

Posted by: Jade 15th October 2015, 04:53 PM

Ik ken haar niet (I will take that tho *.*)

Have to second this actually, this was an extremely strong semi! Easily another few I could've voted for really.

Posted by: Ethan 15th October 2015, 06:15 PM

boted

i agree, this is a strong semi~

Posted by: 152chris 15th October 2015, 07:20 PM

joyryde is RIDICULOUS so so good

Posted by: gooddelta 15th October 2015, 07:37 PM

Quite! Why is everybody else predicting it to DNQ? I don't understand.

Posted by: Pusheen 15th October 2015, 07:46 PM

See this is what I thought about 'Hold On' last month lol ~ ('GIVE MY LOVE' is good as well but not as good, it's a bit overly noisy and messy).

Posted by: Avicii's Stories 15th October 2015, 08:15 PM

I'd love Joyryde to qualify against the odds tbh, now that's a proper banger

Posted by: JSG 15th October 2015, 08:16 PM

Still waiting on 5 more countries voting

Posted by: JSG 15th October 2015, 08:17 PM

And it's really close between the top 2.

Posted by: gooddelta 15th October 2015, 08:18 PM

I really don't think it will even struggle to do so, I gave it decent odds and I'm sure it'll qualify quite comfortably (at least 13th-15th in the semi, if not higher).

Posted by: Pusheen 15th October 2015, 08:29 PM
