i can't wait to win

The cat in that graphic wub.gif

Can’t wait for this *.* really hope I can crack the top 10 after the recent hype but I’d be cool with top 20 too, just want justice for the previous Vendredi sur Mer entry somehow missing it in 86.

you do realise the entry with the least amount of points is in fact, not the winner but the loser. ph34r.gif

not too sure what to expect from my entry, could be anywhere from top 15 to just inside the bottom 10 based on predictions/feeling. hyped for this evening anyhow, loving the presentation, we expect a great show. tongue.gif

Posted by: Jüpiter 26th August 2018, 12:15 PM

Pretty sure I'm not going to but it's nice to qualify!
Here to sleigh you all in the next one tho xo

Excited for this given the predictions, Ghost to snatch a win plz x

A reminded of your contenders for the win!

Votes will be revealed in order of my spreadsheet for ease... so the finalists in order followed by the votes from the nations that didn't qualify.


Posted by: Chez Wombat 26th August 2018, 12:43 PM

I'm not sure of all the hype/contenders this time, but certainly hope one of my votes can win as they were all so good. Not sure what to expect for myself, avoiding the bottom 10 would be nice.

Coming to win despite not voting xxx

Posted by: Bré 26th August 2018, 02:03 PM

Here to outperform predix xx If goreshit came 6th I can too dammit. (Ok maybe not that high but I am hoping to be at least higher than bottom 10 x). Also here for a second 'Ghost' winner, if FLJ can't retain the title.

Posted by: LexC 26th August 2018, 03:07 PM

Hyped for the results to kick off and for my votes to (I think) be near the start of proceedings for the first time in a very long time.

Not really feeling myself for being in contention for the win like some people are saying but I'm hoping for a good result nonetheless.

Posted by: Cody Salton 26th August 2018, 03:12 PM

I hope all these picture scoreboard will still be available come 2-3 years time! (barring another fiasco like photobucket)

I will literally cry if Imgur ever goes the same way as Photobucket. I think it's safe. xx

(actually the Photobucket images are all back now anyway I think! although Imageshack remains long dead)

Or postimage, which was the one I used sleep.gif (and still do oooooops) (they changed from .org to .cc so all the pictures with .org no longer work unless you go back and change them all to .cc)

Posted by: Riser 26th August 2018, 04:55 PM

Ooh, glad to hear Photobucket images are back! Somehow I didn't notice not seeing that speedometer image for the last few months.

Anything above 33rd will be my best result of the year so far, here's hoping!!

I think some Eurowings flights have wifi but even if I was on one of those aircraft I’d be avoiding it because it’ll cost a small fortune. Nothing is free on a European Budget Airline

Good evening Fljótavík, this is Ricardo Delta calling with the results of this month's Rontvian televote. We are elated to be back in the final and wish good luck to our representative! We would also like to thank you for hosting a sublime show, a truly gorgeous presentation which we have thoroughly enjoyed.

To start with we'd like to offer our commiserations to Unovia, who finished a very close 16th in our vote and therefore just missed out on scoring. But now here are the 15 wonderful songs that our nation has pointed this month.

18 Points • Pupok • Bip Ling • Ocean Queen
15 Points • Bhangra • Darling • Jimmy
13 Points • Séyetana • Gwenno • Eus Keus?
12 Points • Utopia • Riton & Kah-Lo • Ginger
11 Points • Suedeonia • FUR • If You Know That I'm Lonely
10 Points • New Lexico • Alice Merton • Lash Out
9 Points • FARC • Alex Mills • Stayed Too Long
8 Points • Břtanikkä • Kutiman • Mix Tel Aviv
7 Points • Terra Avium • Korw • Luna's Moon Dance
6 Points • Summericia • Cathedrals • Try To Fight
5 Points • Azure • Tessa Violet • Crush
4 Points • Cor Lupus • Savoy • Let You Go
3 Points • Thelonia • Fourward • Hope
2 Points • République d'Ashton • Nova Miller • Turn Up The Fire
1 Point • South Danaelanda • Fatum • Mowgli

Thank you and goodnight!

18 - FARC
15 - Harmonica
13 - Cadelicia
12 - Jupiterdonia
11 - Tartford
10 - Summericia
09 - Altyr Muunilinst

07 - Ultraviolenceland
06 - Utopia
05 - Azure
04 - Beaverdonia
03 - Ashton
02 - St. Burbia
01 - Daehun






So it’s a good start for one of the leaders in the odds as FARC score an 18 from Lex and score well with Rich too and take a (very) early lead as a result. Pupok off to a great start with a maximum score from Rontvia while Utopia also off to a good start on their return to BJSC.

No idea how Gwenno is going to do, the predicta was incredibly unindicative, but a high score from Rich is a great start, thanks! It’s 2am here so I’m probably going to sleep now and I’ll see how this turned out in the morning.

Allo, Carellis calling with the Persephonian votes for BJSC 107, sponsored by GarageBand who kindly provided our entry this month, let's hope µ-Ziq isn't flopping too much ~

jump.gif

Until last month they had never done it for us but we are now proud to hand our 18 points over to hosts and auto-qualifiers Fljótavík for a second contest in a row with an addictive glitchy entry (with shockingly explicit, if barely audible, lyrics!!) that we liked even more than their last one, both among our very favourite entries of the year so far! This makes FLJ only the second country (after Elëdan in BJSCs 66 & 67) to top our votes in the final twice in a row ;o Just missing out on our top points despite being the longest song in the final AND an instrumental, it's 15 points to #00274E with some perfect vibe music ~ more of this and less of whatever the other stuff you've been sending of late is pls. Then Unovia continue to impress us of late, beating their own best points tally from us again to finish in our medal positions for the first time, picking up 13 points with a hard-hitting dark rock song. Our favourite Unovia entry to date. <3

A pair of songs in the suddenly growing #madeuplanguagebloc get double figure points: 12 points go to the utterly bizarre banger from Trifoski while a blissful bit of almost drum n bass sounding anime soundtrack from Deandria gets 11. Some awesome retro synthpop from Espen gets our 10 points, while 9 points go to the latest desi trash bop from St. Burbia, not quite as good as 'Malang' but we're always gonna love these xx Land of DW get 8 points for an ethnic banger, our other auto-qualifier Cowtermont take our 7 points with another crazy glitchfest and there's some more ethnic dance music representation in our 6 pointer from Břtanikkä.

A banger and a half from South Danaelanda - which actually got better with more listens unlike most of their other recent entries for us! - gets 5 points. Jadakissnia get 4 points with the return of Vendredi Sur Mer and another song just about as good as her first BJSC entry, still loving the whispery vox. Harmonica have their first appearance in our votes for a year and a half with a HAIM-alike grower getting 3 points, Terra Avium claim 2 points with their brony banger and it's a mealworm point to an emotional tune from non-flops Cor Lupus.

TL;DR:


18 Fljótavík // Danger - 11h30
15 #00274E // Rival Consoles - Hidden
13 Unovia // Badflower - Ghost

12 Trifoski // Iglooghost - Clear Tamei
11 Deandria // Gabriela Robin - cyberbird
10 Espen // Nouvelle Phénomčne - Cruel Game (Vanzetti & Sacco Remix)
9 St. Burbia // Akasa - Thug Ranjha
8 Land of DW // Purebeat - Ederlezi (feat. Dikanda)
7 Cowtermont // 1788-L and 4AM - M U L T I V E R S E
6 Břtanikkä // Kutiman - Mix Tel Aviv

5 South Danaelanda // Fatum - Mowgli
4 Jadakissnia // Vendredi Sur Mer - Larme Ŕ Gauche
3 Harmonica // The Aces - Put It On The Line
2 Terra Avium // Korw - Luna's Moon Dance
1 Cor Lupus // Savoy - Let You Go


Good luck to everyone, let's hope the best song wins as it did last month xx (not counting our own ofc biggrin.gif)

Commiserations:
16th Séyetana // Gwenno - Eus Keus?
17th Altyr Muunilinst // CXLOE - Show You
18th Thelonia // Fourward - Hope
19th Ojnoj // YONAKA - Fired Up
20th Holland-Oats // The Aston Shuffle - Tear It Down

A really good set of commises as nearly none of our favourites DNQed this time (justice for Cumulonimbia tho) - cutting out Séyetana was painful, don't hate us neighbours cry.gif elsewhere that's Altyr's best entry for a long time and Ojnoj's as well, actually liked it more than Andrew W.K. even though we voted for that and not this. Plus also Holland-Oats' best entry to date, keep it up. x

and nothing for Beaverdonia (they were 27th x)







QUOTE
Good evening all, it's lovely to be back. What a wonderful contest this was both aesthetically and musically, feels like everything here should be getting double points. Terra Avium's votes:

18; #00274E – Rival Consoles - Hidden
15; Deandria - Yoko Kanno – Cyberbird
13; Espen - Nouvelle Phénomčne -- Cruel Game (Vanzetti & Sacco Remix)
12; Botanikka – Kutiman – Mix Tel Aviv
11; Persephonia - U-Ziq – Hasty Boom Alert
10; Trifoski – Iglooghost – Clear Tamei
09; Jadakissnia – Vendredi sur Mer – Larme á Gauche
08; Land of DW – Purebeat feat. Dikanda - Ederlezi
07; Cowtermont – 1788-L & 4AM – Multiverse
06; Fljotavik – Danger – 11h30
05; Thelonia – Fourward – Hope
04; Utopia – Riton & Kah Lo - Ginger
03; Rolloland – The Delgados – No Danger
02; FSR Rontvia – GoodLuck & Boris Smith – Be Yourself
01; Seyetana – Gwenno – Eus Keus?

Commiserations: South Danaelanda, Aelandor, Summericia, Tartford





The home crowd erupt at this early maximum for Danger and point from Terra Avium too lift us into the top 5. It’s even better news for #00274E as they take the lead thanks to very nearly pulling off a double maximum in this batch of votes. Others doing well from this section are Deandria, Espen, Cowtermont and Břtanikkä who all score in both sets of votes.

Whoop at voting first cheer.gif

Gutted at the dire odds for Pupok, Bhangra and Suedonia, they're all so good <3

The Ocean Queen instrumental is sublime, it's very ATB, in fact it reminded me of his track Sunburn, minus the steel pans. Hope it avoids bottom five!

So in this section we learn that Séyetana hated the Hushkanukia track! FARC gain a maximum and that’s enough to propel them back to the top of the leaderboard but they’re closely followed by the home nation in second. Terra Avium leap up twenty two places into the top five while previous leaders #00274E take a tumble to sixth. One of the pre-results favourites, Unovia, sneaks into the top 10.

It hasn’t taken long for everyone to move away from the dreaded zero points as there’s 2 for Yehesi here. Florina move off of zero in rather more style as they get a maximum for Altyr. At the top end FARC stay in the lead but they are joined by the epic from Deandria on 52. Unovia continue their charge up to 6th - things are starting to spread out a little bit more but the leaders are definitely still in sight at this stage.

Two bronze positions for Espen push them all the way up to a joint lead with New Lexico who also manage to score in both sets of votes here. The top 5 are incredibly close at this point with just four points between them! ohmy.gif Autoqualifier Cowtermont sneaks into the top 10 while Florina also continue to charge upwards after coming oh so close to snatching the home nation’s maximum.

thanks for a great contest! Cor Lupus really are the big highlight here so hope they can get in the top 10 with this. would very much like a FARC win from the supposed contenders too, Alex Mills' voice is just made for dance tracks.





Espen gain significant support from both Rolloland and South Danaelanda and in doing so suddenly stretch out a lead at the top of the table, FARC maintain the threat in second though. Cor Lupus bounce back up to fourth with potentially another good hit for the kings of qualifying after scooping a maximum here.

So it’s Summericia and Ashton next up and both immediately work on cutting that Espen lead as FARC close to within a point while New Lexico and Deandria move within touching distance also. After being stuck on 2 for some time, Yehesi get a maximum from Ashton leaving Rolloland stranded at the foot of the table. Rontvia also doing well in this set of votes as they move to just outside the top 20.

Cowtermont votes in this batch but they also score enough to move back into the top 10. FARC continue to lead with only three more entries over 100 at this point, Cor Lupus, New Lexico and Espen. Holland-Oats pick up decent points here and leave Séyetana to take their place at the bottom of the table.

More points for the top two here as they appear to be stretching out a little bit of a lead at the top, although with the fluctuation in votes so far who knows whether it will last. Aeroche have been unusually quiet so far this contest but they’ve stealthed their way into the top 10 at this point - another country stealthing upwards are Jadakissnia into the top 10, can they match the hype after all? Pupok also snatching more points here too on their way to inevitable victory.

Tartford and Azure picking up the 18s here and it’s enough for the latter to stride into the top 10 *.* FARC do very well here again and extend their lead at the top, although New Lexico and Cor Lupus are trying their darnedest to cling on to FARC’s coattails…

Two of our biggest contenders are next to vote, FARC do so and manage to avoid too much damage in the process and points from Cor Lupus keep them on track. Summericia have been doing quietly well so far but they finally move up into a medal position after hefty points from both here. Fljótavík also score well here (yay!) and move back up to the top 10 and halt their slow decline for a while at least…

Maximums for St Burbia and South Danaelanda here - they’re really spread out so far this contest! St Burbia also crack the top 10, Trifoski join them in the upper tier too. We haven’t looked towards the foot for a while but it’s Séyetana who are still there for now sad.gif

So halfway through it's looking like the 'obvious' winner is still the favourite indeed - great to see Espen and Cor Lupus still keeping up near the top though! What is happening to Unovia sad.gif that was such a clear standout but atm it's not looking like it'll even be top 10 (and I was just starting to think it might have been the favourite to win after all... hopefully it'll pick up at least a bit).

St. Burbia and Trifoski top 10 as well tho *.*

A good contest this time, though a clear bias towards the semi I wasn't in. Always nice for me to have more songs I'd happily give points to than I'm able, so unlucky to Persephonia, Jadakissnia and Harmonica.

01 - Suedonia - FUR
02 - Rolloland - The Delgados
03 - Summericia - Cathedrals
04 - Fljotavik - Danger
05 - Azure - Tessa Violet
06 - Aeroche - Set Mo
07 - Seyetana - Gwenno
08 - Aelandor - Mat Zo
09 - Trifoski - Igloohost
10 - Espen - Nouvelle Phénomčne

This makes the top 5 look remarkably similar to the votes I sent in the last contest, with the countries I ranked 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th & 9th in BJSC 105 sending great songs again

11 - Cowtermont - 1 7 8 8
12 - Deandria - Yoko Kanno
13 - FSR Rontvia - GoodLuck & Boris Smith
15 - Cor Lupus - Savoy
18 - Thelonia - Fourward






Good point for Cor Lupus and Summericia means they halve the gap to the current leaders. Altyr suddenly leap back up in to the top 10 after a max from Florina - will they be able to stay there though as it only seems to take a big score to suddenly leap up a lot of places on the scoreboard. Florina submitted the beautiful MAY and it’s not doing quite as well as it deserved (obvious FLJ bias here) but at least they’ve managed to right the previous wrong when MAY DNQ’d.

An 18 for FARC sees them sit just one point shy of the 200 barrier. Summericia go clear in second now and seem to be emerging as their closest challengers… it’s still all pretty darn close between about 7th and 20th, anything could yet happen for any of those countries!

GarageBand creations prevail gold.gif congratulations to Persephonia who receive our 18 for the first time in two years (the last was in BJSC 88 for Řfdream's 'Thelema') and our first medal position for a year. It feels crazy that it's been that long on both counts. But they've gone and trumped all the other contenders for my gold in what must be one of the strongest finals ever, so that's quite the comeback to our podium. They become the first country to receive four 18s from us, yay. The initial production is so calming and lovely, but then it switches up to more frantic breakcore-esque produx over this. Definitely 'the nature of dying' teas. The two marry together perfectly though and just leaves me wanting more every time, this 18 feels so right <3 Břtanikkä match their previous best for me (last time was for 'Dance While You Shoot' by Noga Erez) with this glorius ethnic instrumental. The constant switch-ups are so thrilling. The nation clearly do ethnic dance well as we totally stanned 'Stanga' a couple of years ago in addition to this. #00274E provide a sensational comeback with 7 minutes of dark pulsating beats that... don't really switch-up much at all tbh but it's okay, those vibes are just everything. Minus like one line in the Kutiman song this is pretty much an instrumental top 3 so slay!! Some other noteworthy points here are that Unovia also receive their joint highest points to date from us (Courtney Barnett also got 12) and somehow this is only the first time we've pointed Thelonia in a final, wut?! That feels crazy but there we go, we got there in the end.

there are no tears left to cry now so let's end this on a happy note.

Nothing for FARC here enables Espen to close in, although no single country appears to be able to score consistently enough yet to make the most of any points droughts for the leaders. Terra Avium bounce back into the top 10, so much for the fears of bottom 10! Deandria do just enough damage to themselves to push them out of the top tier to 11th while Jadakissnia just manage to cling on in the top 20.

And what's that I spy, a Brade 18? Well I never!!!

Nothing from numbers or Jacob to the leaders yet again! Espen manage to close the gap by 7 but will it be enough? #00274E get the 18 from Jacob here while previous voter Jadakissnia bag the 18 from JakeWild. Everything down to 28th is now over 100 points, most things only a couple of big scores away from the top 10!

Talking of µ-sic... have people not thought it through - I've see people spelling it u-sic on here and further afield, it literally makes no sense without the 'mew' sound!


Annoyingly the video itself actually says 'U-Ziq' as well!! (on a highly geeky note I kind of wish that was right because I've now sent artists to BJSC beginning with every letter of the alphabet except for 'U', I need to find one to complete the set tongue.gif)

Oh my at suddenly getting my first two medal positions at once! (edit: not my first two, I forgot about Séyetana's oops) Thanks v v much Jade wub.gif amazingly the first time in a year I've actually been in Jadakissnia's top 3 ohmy.gif I thought if this couldn't do it then maybe I would never manage it again. biggrin.gif And yesss at Mattias as well <3 I remembered you liked it but I didn't think it would get that many points from you!

Another 18 for Ojnoj here catapults them back into the top 10. Jupiterdonia bag themselves an 18 here too… not a great deal for the top lot but there’s a sense that the pack are closing back in a bit… we also see what the table would have looked like before the jury vote if I’d opted for that method…

Good luck everyone, and many thanks to Dandy* for hosting with great panache.






So the pack were indeed closing in a bit as Espen sneak a point clear at the top thanks to double points here! Just noticed that Séyetana are finally off the bottom, sadly it’s the lovely track from UV that replaces them. Deandria rocket back up to 6th as Cor Lupus and Fljótavík are fading slightly.

Plus Doctor Blind gets bonus points for usage of teal. If he were in the final that would be a better reward.

FARC maintain the 1 point deficit but it’s to a different track as Utopia suddenly charge to the top with two big points scores here, Espen slide to 4th with Summericia still holding on moving into third. Deandria back in the top 5 now too… Persephonia are up to 12th after a largely quiet results show to date.

Utopia continue to lead from FARC, Summericia and Espen. New Lexico have been engulfed a little by the chasing pack and slide to 8th. Unovia pick up an 18 but it’s only enough to push them up to 13th, I guess the track was quite polar?

So yep, Badflower are indeed quite polar and in the best way at the moment as an 18 and 15 push Unovia straight up to joint 3rd with Summericia after being stuck mid table for most of the contest. There’s another tie up there at the top as FARC and Utopia are sharing the lead - but it’s shrinking, could the Unovian charge engulf everyone? ohmy.gif

This is why I was a bit frustrated by the non voters - 6 sets of votes really could have made a major difference in the results!

A good set of votes for Utopia here as they push back out ahead at the top, Unovia go clear in third too. Could Utopia actually hold on and finally get a first BJSC victory after all these years? Ultraviolenceland get an 18! They move clear of the bottom quite easily now as poor Rollo finds himself back there again. Haven’t mentioned Daehun much so far, well they’re also doing well enough to not be bottom biggrin.gif

FARC bounce back! But it’s still close and Utopia and the ever present Summericia are not far behind. New Lexico bounce back up to 4th. Ryan sent me his votes in the semi and clearly hates numbers! He also is probably very disappointed in how many of his faves didn’t qualify given how far down the votes I had to go… the top few are looking like they’re pretty safe now but everything below them is surely in with a real chance of a top 10 finish?

Posted by: Bré 26th August 2018, 08:12 PM

Good evening to the fabulous Fljotavik and the visually exciting final, Singerpurear here with votes in live from Tanahmerah!

Condolences go to Niceland, a hit in our charts despite not making the final, and also fond forlorn memories of Some Velvet Morning.

Points:

1 point: St. Burbia • Akasa • Thug Ranjha
2 points: Florina • MAY • Falling
3 points: Harmonica • The Aces • Put It On The Line
4 points: Tartford • Florrie • Hungry Like A Wolf
5 points: Daehun • BoA • One Shot Two Shot
6 points: Jadakissnia • Vendredi sur Mer • Larme ŕ Gauche
7 points: Terra Avium • Korw • Luna's Moon Dance
8 points: Yehesi • Cedric Gervais • Somebody New (feat. Liza Owen)
9 points: Cor Lupus • Savoy • Let You Go
10 points: Espen • Nouvelle Phénomčne • Cruel Game (Vanzetti & Sacco Remix)
11 points: Suedeonia • FUR • If You Know That I'm Lonely
12 points: Summericia • Cathedrals • Try To Fight

Bronze medal goes to a sprawling ambitious indie track from the increasingly regularly pointed:
13 points: Rolloland • The Delgados • No Danger

Silver is awarded to a best-yet entry from a recent entrant nation, and a track that sounds like a hit record:
15 points: Jupiterdonia • Paces (feat. Emmalyn & Keida Woods) • Technique

...and Gold is won by a nation who have had a few gold medals from us, but not for a year and a half, or so, back on winning form for us with a subtle classy dance track:
18 points: Aeroche • Set Mo • White Dress (feat. Deutsch Duke)

Thank you and good evening!

Hello all... I know it's like traditional and everything for everyone to vote at exactly 11:59 on the final day but I just wanted to remind you to vote in the BJSC final.

Like even Silas has already voted.

If my reminder is too late then I'll accept your votes late but I'll have to deduct 15% from your score because Silas goes all hitler if I don't hitler.gif

Thanks

56 votes in and Summericia actually manage to drag themselves to the top! Could we be getting a new winner after all? ohmy.gif Only 3 sets of votes left so it’s only feasibly for a track currently in the top 10 to take the title - but which one will it be?

And so that’s it! Tinnmark give Summericia the two points they needed to overtake FARC at the last possible moment, congratulations Rob on your victory! cheer.gif Condolences to Jake, it was a close run thing all the way through. Unovia bounce back up to complete the top three and snatch a bronze medal for the second contest in a row, well done Liam. Espen and New Lexico complete the top 5 as Utopia just drop to sixth. Aeroche do what they do best and snatch a top 10 placing at the death, joining Altyr, Deandria and a very elated Fljótavík who just hold on to the top tier by the skin of their teeth!

I’ll just take this chance to say thank you to everyone who confirmed, listened, voted and contributed to BJSC one oh seven. We really hope you’ve enjoyed your stay in Fljótavík, I’d forgotten just how much work it is to host these things but I’m glad I did it, it’s been fun and one of the things that’s sort of aligned over the past month or so to make me feel more involved in the site again. However, it’s now time to head off and instead look forward to potentially setting off to the presumably sunny shores of Summericia for next month - bon voyage all!

omg poor jake but i know summericia is up there with his songs of the whole YEAR so he'll be thrilled to be 2nd to it!

elated to be top 10 ohmy.gif the hype was non-existent so i'm really pleased i managed to get in there, and with 2 18s wub.gif

Not taking a chance on myself, pretty sure this is gonna be another Nocturnal Tapes situation (or High Contrast where I get the most votes but get like one or two votes that are over 12 points and 70% are 5 or less) + getting beat by my own potential AGAIN will only pour salt into the wound so let me be stung by my own bad decisions rather than false hope and my own bad decisions)

FABULOUS hosting throughout dandy* - definitely going to go up there as one of the best of all-time

Posted by: gooddelta 26th August 2018, 08:35 PM

Aww, so close to the top 20, but 21/42 is a HIT *.* Addy not voting saving me from 22nd and flop status.

Thanks for a frankly incredible hosting and presentation Dandy, what an impossible act to follow. Try To Fight, Ginger, Lash Out and Stayed Too Long are all excellent and very worthy of their high positions!

Seyetana should have been WAYYYYY higher than that, but I'm glad Pupok and Bhangra managed to avoid the bottom five practically everybody had predicted they would be in.

The whole thing was ridiculously close, there were clearly about 6 or 7 real contenders and I did think 259 for 59 votes would be one of the lowest ever scores - which probably reflects the variety in the final I'd say

Congratulations Rob! cheer.gif I couldn't find room for your song in the final but I'm pretty sure I chucked it a couple of points in the semi so I'm happy enough with that winner. As for my own song, omg at that last minute 13 from Jerick (thank you wub.gif) moving me up to 12th but being ONE point off unique 11th and TWO off the top 10 - argh!!! laugh.gif it's a shame to not quite live up to the hype buuuut I definitely cannot begrudge 12th - I'm having such a good year with every finalist being a top 20 hit ohmy.gif and I've definitely served some justice for Vendredi sur Mer after she came 28th the first time, yay *.* so pleased to see Unovia, Espen, Deandria and Fljótavík killing it in the top 10 <3 plus Trifoski and Terra Avium being somewhat dark horse top 15s and Persephonia clawing back a top 20 finish *.*

Thanks for hosting this Dandy, you were an extraordinary host and this was so exciting to follow <3

Ooft that closeness, congrats Rob! I feel like might have grown on me a bit more had I had more time to listen so I'll take it as a winner, and it's excellent to see Summericia catch a break as they have sent some wonderful stuff over the years! Excellent to see Espen and Deandria in the top 10, just wish #00274E would've done a bit better </3

And yeah, I'll gladly take a top 15 and my best performing entry of the year, I certainly didn't expect it from this one but it's been a great little discovery so pleased others think the same, and at least it did better than my other brony outing in Club Bizarre (I'm still not a brony, they just make good music, don't be ridiculous xx).

So glad Rep d’Ash made it to the top 20 after all, I told y’all it was too good to flop!

Congrats Roba, doing a Caerfyrddia with getting a new peak of 4th after a long time of rarely ever going top 10, and then winning the whole thing one contest later! 'Try To Fight' was actually my least favourite song in that final top 10 but that just says a lot about how much I liked this final as I still think it's a very solid winner, and of course always here for another debut winner once more! <3

Really happy that Unovia did get a top 3 finish in the end after it was lagging in the bottom half of the scoreboard for so long, so close to being a new rock winner! Absolutely THRILLED at Espen being top 5 as well wub.gif I'd been thinking it reminded me a bit of 'Malarone' so it's great to see it doing just as well as that did. And speaking of which, Deandria getting another top 10 as well is also fantastic and I wouldn't have predicted that one at all! A well deserved return to the top 10 for Altyr too and yessss for my favourite in the final scraping in there also, plus Trifoski coming really close, I was fearing an Amnesia Scanner esque result for that! Then another top 20 for Thelonia and Harmonica is also pretty fab and top 25 is probably higher than I would have predicted for #00274E! The biggest disappointment here is Land of DW doing so poorly but at least they weren't last...

Yasss for managing to hang onto top 20 in the end (although losing out on 18th on a tiebreak mad.gif so I've now had 5 each of 17th and 19th but never 18th!!1) despite my late surge coming to a screeching halt with the very tail end of the votes! Officially outperforming all the predix yay. wub.gif Thanks again for all the votes, especially the two 18s.

Fabulous job with hosting Dandy, sad to have to leave Fljótavík now! The presentation has been completely top notch throughout. <3

Posted by: King Rollo 26th August 2018, 08:51 PM

Congratulations Rob. Your song was just outside my semi-final vote so it's not a song I dislike. Thanks Dandy for hosting,you made such a good job of it.

So The Delgados finish bottom. Half of their songs are sung by a female singer,Emma Pollock. If I had sent one of those,they might have done better but No Danger is my favourite by them so that's the one I sent. I didn't expect to qualify,so I was just glad to be part of the final.

27th not too shabby for me. Wasn't really expecting much more than that when I sent it.

Posted by: LexC 26th August 2018, 09:14 PM

Summericia were consistently near the top of my votes in both the semi and the final so I'm very happy for that to be our winner, and yet another first time winner to boot! I'm exceedingly happy with 5th place as well, lowkey enjoying this Top 10 or BUST streak I'm on this decade even if it does mean the pressure's kinda on for next month (but I'm pretty confident my 108 entry can meet the measure) but hey, that's three strong bids for the crown in TBO at the end of the year already!

Yasss
also will pm the mods shortly!


~
really happy with the rest of the top 10 except for Utopia which went over my head, guess it did have wide appeal tho. really happy for Deandria and Aeroche (the latter struggling a lot which is surprising considering they usually slay these contests and the song would have easily been a winner in 2013/14 too!

Also happy for Ojnoj, Jadakissnia, Azure and Cor Lupus being in the top 20 as they were all great (jade's being commiserations) and shame for Rollo being last, wasn't my favourite of theirs but it was still decent for what it is!

Thanks Dandy, hats off to you for the amazing graphics, was real snazzy and cool and I find it awesome how you do graphics that move!! if only I was as creative as that!

Re: this being a low scoring winner, just checked and it is the second lowest score for a winner by percentage of possible points (only behind Hervé/Zebra Katz)! But a win is a win of course. x

For more fun stats, it's also the 7th song to win while only getting maximum points from one voter (we've never had a winner that didn't get any). Awkwardly enough it was FARC who gave it its only 18, oops ;o There weren't any songs that got more than 3 18s in this contest, a seven-way tie between FARC, Unovia, Espen, New Lexico, Altyr Muunilinst, République d'Ashton and #00274E for the most 18s! No wonder it was all so close ~

Posted by: danG 26th August 2018, 09:53 PM

interesting! we don't really seem to get runaway winners anymore, perhaps due to the wide variety that the contest is now, it's tough to find an entry that has enough cross-appeal to win and even tougher to predict the contest's outcome.

That record is also held by Hervé & Zebra Katz laugh.gif from projected 22nd (12th in the semi!) to 1st. It appears Summericia have matched the 22 to 1 improvement although still second to Hervé for lowest semi-final finish for a winner!

Yay for a semi-final top 10 *.* (this is the second time Ojnoj have won the semi and then not been top 10 in the final though!!)

Posted by: LexC 26th August 2018, 10:27 PM

'Broken Love' was a reasonably big margin of victory (just shy of 100 points) but I think if anything that's maybe the exception that proves the rule.

Posted by: RabbitFurCoat 26th August 2018, 11:03 PM

Delighted to have finished so high, tried not to get my hopes up for a win as I was following, but thought once it got so close Ginger wouldn't win. Thanks to everyone that voted for it, pleased so many like it - though no top votes - must be unusual for a song placed so high. Hopefully I'll be in again next time, maybe with something not as 'cheap'

Pleased with the winner, always good if something you vote for wins, and the other two in the top 3 would've placed in my bottom 10!

Glad the majority of my high pointers did fairly well - though a shame that due to my lack of posting and absence from this for a long time I have no idea who most of the people are I'm giving points to!

Cheers for hosting Dandy*, good job.

ROBBBBB!!!! Amazing and I know exactly how ecstatic you'll be with this win *.* (both of us getting our first wins in the same year *.*)

Stunning hosting Dandy*! So wonderfully presented. wub.gif

this is actually heartbreaking. if I believed the hype around my entry I would have probably been calling snipers

FSR Rontvia vs. Holland-Oats vs. Jupiterdonia (just barely, I think I have H-O around 18th)

036 ♦ HOLLAND OATS / THE ASTON SHUFFLE


hype is cancelled tbh although in hindsight if I'd have known this would be one of the strongest finals this year I would have saved my best entry for later x kink.gif

Oh my goodness it really did stay tight until the end!! I'm so so happy for Summericia, 'Try To Fight' just sounded like a winner to me - and I can't believe it's over a year old! FARC and Unovia rounding out a brilliant top 3, and I'm thrilled for Ojnoj giving Yonaka their best result in BJSC by far <3

On the downside, sad to see four songs I voted for in the bottom 10 - justice for Jupiterdonia, Holland-Oats, Aelandor and Daehun nocheer.gif

I'll gladly take 18th with that nice little points surge at the end, our first top 30 hit in 8 contests!!! No 18s but had a handful of 15s/13s from what I recall, thanks to anyone I hadn't already thanked <3

And thanks Dandy* for your hosting prowess, the graphics were second to none, and the quality of the contest itself was so strong, no wonder there were so many contenders to win. Got nothing in mind yet for 108 but very much looking forward to it.

Good result in the end, I liked that Cathedrals song, well done Rob, although the Farc track was also fairly good.

Bit worse than what I was expecting unfortunately but what with being a little busy this month I haven’t been able to get invested as much as normal so that’s okay. Thanks for running this so well Dandy, what an exciting end to have so many songs so close, and a good lot at that.

the BEST winner of all time for me

an INCREDIBLE song/video/entry

it’s honestly one of my fav songs of all time

Posted by: FrankLuck 27th August 2018, 04:32 AM

Oh, so I qualified safely after all!
Projected 21st (if I count it correctly), just above the winner cool.gif

That's why I was so surprised! FARC only 7th in semi one too.

I was looking at you guys predicting and laughing thinking "oh what do they know" but then somehow the votes changed in the final and reflected what you were all expecting and I felt less smug laugh.gif


it shows how much the semis can affect a qualification just by having the fans of a track in the opposite semi, and a wider pool of people who quite like a song in a final versus a lower number who love a song.

I like to think that's why Singerpurear keeps just missing out on the final laugh.gif

omg 2nd in the semi ohmy.gif thrilled with that. seems i was underpredicted all round! xx

Whilst y'all know I didn't like this final at all, like everyone chose to send their worst entry of the year at the same time!!, I think Sumerica might have deserved the win more than most 'cos of the lyrics, don't you know I'm farting out the bed?

Posted by: Jerick 27th August 2018, 12:29 PM

Congratulations to Summericia!

Posted by: Jacob~ 27th August 2018, 01:46 PM

7th in the semi, (for some reason I thought I'd have done fairly well there)- 2nd time I've had a high ranking semi result then a low 30s final yaay.

Good winner though, consistently stayed in my low points, congrats Rob! And again dandy* that presentation. *.*

Posted by: dandy* 27th August 2018, 02:29 PM

Voting scandal alert! ohmy.gif I thought I'd made it through this one entirely unscathed as well!

So I somehow managed to miss off my own 8 points in the table ( blush.gif ) and they should have gone to Terra Avium. Also I managed to award Desbuanda's 12 points to, er, Desbuanda!!! It should have been Deandria who received the maximum. Fortunately neither of these things affect who should have qualified (phew!) and everything in the final remains the same.

It does mean some of you get slightly different finishing positions in the Jungle Semi though, the correct version is linked above.

Oh well, it was so nearly fault free as well!!! But thanks to Bré for spotting these things, your attention to detail is immense!

This is not a very interesting scandal, I want refunds. x

Posted by: dandy* 27th August 2018, 02:42 PM

I tried to bribe many of you to give FLJ more points so I could win twice in a row and match Rontvia, Aeroche and whatever Lee's country was called but alas none of you would play ball sad.gif


On the plus side, this is my first back to back top 10 finishes in goodness only knows how long, I'm very chuffed wub.gif

Posted by: Mattias 27th August 2018, 02:55 PM

oh my! So that means I got *5* 12s in the semi?! :cheddarcheeseblock:

Posted by: Chez Wombat 27th August 2018, 03:00 PM

Hey, I'll take it, that's one of my best semi results *.

Not sure if it's just my screen but I can't view that Semi 1 table at all. It's too zoomed out then when I zoom in it goes blurry beyond recognition.

As I doubt it was that many, can I have a list of who pointed me & by how much for my own thread purposes? Thanks.

Posted by: danG 30th August 2018, 03:18 PM

3 FARC
3 Ojnoj
6 Lotunia
4 Desbuanda
5 Terra Avium
21 Total
