Ooh it's weird seeing me so early on! It feels like I'm always near the end for every Dubtrack listen through.

This final is looking like the strongest since I joined.

Posted by: Vülker 22nd February 2016, 11:40 PM

What. A. Final!!

Posted by: Virginia's Walls 23rd February 2016, 12:04 AM

Ooh soundcloud recaps!

Posted by: Cody Slayberry 23rd February 2016, 12:05 AM

I'd like a minute to organize the final. Or two. Or another seven days.

This could take a while.

Posted by: Mattias 23rd February 2016, 12:47 PM

8 foreign language songs (all different languages) and 6 instrumentals in this final if I've counted correctly *.* (The instrumental spinoff demand tbh)

Come to my attention when downloading the MP3 packs for the semis, that all of 21-30 in Semi 1 qualified for the final! CONSPIRACY THEORY~ RUNNING ORDER MATTERS~ DISCUSS~

Posted by: Regina 23rd February 2016, 05:30 PM

Could well be my favourite contest I've been in, so many songs deserve points

Posted by: HarryEzra 23rd February 2016, 05:35 PM

Hype Thanks bae *.*

Posted by: Bré 23rd February 2016, 07:27 PM

I've uploaded 'Cobra' onto SoundCloud using the masterous copyright evasion trick of speeding up the first minute of the song by 1% so it can be played in a final Dubtrack session. Hooray.

Posted by: 💯 23rd February 2016, 07:31 PM

you are LIFE SAVIOUR bra <3

Posted by: Dan_ 23rd February 2016, 09:54 PM

Speaking of the final dubtrack session, it'll need to be done on Thursday or Saturday as Wednesday is the BRIT Awards and Friday is the UK Eurovision National Final.

Posted by: Bré 23rd February 2016, 09:58 PM

Thursday it will be then. Am busy on Saturday :eyes:

(you / anyone else obviously free to do another one on Saturday if you want)

Posted by: Dan_ 23rd February 2016, 10:01 PM

Also, Saturday is Melodifestivalen isn't it? Not that I watch it.

Posted by: Mattias 23rd February 2016, 10:02 PM

Pointing this out just in case. I was freaking out that I had done my votes wrong - just to clarify, the +09 is accidentally missing, yeah?

Posted by: Iz~ 23rd February 2016, 10:05 PM

Exactly. Though I might be busy on Saturday anyway. Thursday's probably a better night.

Posted by: Dan_ 23rd February 2016, 10:06 PM

sorry bout that, yes you must have a +09.

Posted by: Virginia's Walls 23rd February 2016, 11:18 PM

What UK Eurovision final?? Was there a semi final I didn't know aboot?

Posted by: Dan_ 23rd February 2016, 11:26 PM

No. Just a final. With six entries.

Posted by: Riser 24th February 2016, 02:41 AM

I noticed that too when I downloaded them!! But it's hard to make that case when you look at 21-30 in Semi 2 and 6 out of 10 didn't qualify.

Posted by: JSG 24th February 2016, 04:40 AM

Is there anyway it can start at like 6? I'd love to join in but these things always start too late when I'm working the next Day.

Posted by: HausofTroye 24th February 2016, 07:10 AM

Thursday is perfect for me too

Here here! I can never last to the end because they always start too late so earlier is always better for me some of us have bed times you know!!1

Posted by: Bré 24th February 2016, 09:11 AM

Afraid it can't start at 6 as I'll be in a lecture at that time ~ but it can be shortly after that (6:30 maybe?)

Posted by: Zárate 24th February 2016, 04:03 PM

The vote has been sent! I had to shake up the SF1 order quite a lot due to some songs aging better or worse. QUITE an unusual winning nation too for me!

Posted by: Dan_ 24th February 2016, 04:07 PM

6 votes in so far and only 2 countries remain on nul points! I won't reveal who but I wouldn't be worried as the first few aren't usually the best indicator of the overall result.

Posted by: JSG 24th February 2016, 05:10 PM

6.30 is fine. I've voted already but I've not joined in in one of these things in ages and it's about time I start again I miss my buddies (also I like to see everyone's reaction to each others songs.)

Posted by: Jerick 24th February 2016, 06:36 PM

Tinnmark have voted!

Posted by: FrankLuck 24th February 2016, 08:09 PM

I'd love a 6:30 start on Thursday! I'll need to get up quite early on Friday, but with this early start I could enjoy the whole event

Posted by: gooddelta 24th February 2016, 10:35 PM

Voted. My 18 is really quite something, make that the second month in a row that I've made an all too rare 10/10 discovery <3

Great final, I lost a lot of favourites in the semis sadly but still wanted to vote for 17 here.

Posted by: AH Gold 25th February 2016, 03:45 PM

Voted

Absolutely adore my top three!

Posted by: burbe 25th February 2016, 04:10 PM

Reminder: Dubtrack session occurring at ~6:30pm today ~

Posted by: Jade 25th February 2016, 05:51 PM

Going to be late to it :'( but will be there as soon as I can!

Posted by: FrankLuck 25th February 2016, 06:02 PM

Well, I was so happy that I can stay until the end of the dubtrack session that I forgot that I won't get home for the start (I'm still at work)
I'll join a bit later

Posted by: JSG 25th February 2016, 06:05 PM

I'm here & QUEER and ready to party. Some people's come on pls

Posted by: Bré 25th February 2016, 06:18 PM

Will probably be starting slightly later than 6:30 anyway as I forgot to actually prepare the Dubtrack queue earlier and that always takes a lil while due to how broken Dubtrack's playlist importing is but anyone who can feel free to join now as I'm setting it up ~~

Posted by: Bré 26th February 2016, 12:05 AM

Sent my votes now! Ethanola to win.

Posted by: Vülker 26th February 2016, 03:16 PM

I'm organising my votes and OMG what a BLOODBATH!

Never had so many songs I wanted to give points to! ://///

Posted by: ♦ ketalina ♦ 26th February 2016, 06:40 PM

my entry now has a beaut video

Posted by: Bré 26th February 2016, 06:42 PM

^ added to the YT playlist if anyone's still using that! x 3 other songs still missing there unforch tho.

Posted by: Jade 26th February 2016, 07:15 PM

Votes sent! Had them ready after the Dubtrack session last night but was a bit too sleepy at the time to write commentary.

This contest was of insanely high quality. It actually hurt inside to not be able to give about 10 songs points.

Posted by: Dan_ 27th February 2016, 03:27 PM

Reminders sent.

Posted by: popchartfreak 27th February 2016, 05:22 PM

we have voted, we are sad so many we liked got no points from us
we are happy for those that did though

Posted by: Mart!n 27th February 2016, 09:18 PM

Boted, can I have a receipt please.

I could have voted for at least another 4 tracks... oh well, good luck everyone, Kylienips won't be attending the final due to personal commitments

Posted by: JosephStyles 27th February 2016, 10:50 PM

Boted just now, really disappointed with the semi 2 qualifiers, only a couple I was really that bothered with

Posted by: ♦ ketalina ♦ 28th February 2016, 03:30 AM

votes in

managed to give big points to a country i seem to NEVER give points to, but the rest are kinda expected - great stuff from the usuals!

Posted by: Iz~ 28th February 2016, 11:19 AM

Whew, that was a very enjoyable final to vote in. This diversity that everyone's gone to a greater level than normal to achieve, can we have it like this every month please?

Posted by: Leonardo 28th February 2016, 12:28 PM

Voted, sorry to the ten or so countries JUST on the outskirt of points.

Posted by: ℒ𝓲𝓷⻤ 28th February 2016, 02:30 PM

Voted!

I wasn't too impressed with that final batch tbh, there were only a handful of songs I felt like I really wanted to give points too, there was a lot of generic stuff in the mix which you usually find at the semis rather than at this stage

In saying that, my top six are really strong and there isn't much between them

Posted by: Dan_ 28th February 2016, 04:42 PM

33 votes so far, I hope we get a full house by midnight tonight!

It's still all to play for too, there isn't a definite winner at this point

Posted by: *Tim 28th February 2016, 05:02 PM

ADORE my top 5. Overall the quality is up, let's get it up further so we can reach thwe heights of end 2014, start 2015 again

Posted by: Klumzee 28th February 2016, 05:04 PM

Voted! The top end of my votes is filled with countries who don't usually get my points so I'm very glad to be able to support them this time around Also could not call a winner to save my life; I'm hoping for a debut winner again!

Posted by: Bré 28th February 2016, 05:46 PM

I'd be surprised if we don't have a debut winner, all the contenders this month seem to be countries that haven't won yet!

Posted by: HausofTroye 28th February 2016, 05:46 PM

Boted. This final is AMAZING. My 18 pointer will probably end up as one of my favourites of the entire year, it's just the sort of music I am loving right now.

Liking a lot though~

Posted by: LexDANCE 28th February 2016, 05:53 PM

Votes be sended.

Posted by: Riser 28th February 2016, 08:27 PM

Voted. I never thought to use the recaps because I'm so used to not having them

Posted by: Martyn 28th February 2016, 08:45 PM

I have got down to 17 songs, need to eliminate 2 and decide on the order for the others. This final has been a mix of quality, some really good songs, and some that I have no idea how got out of the semi final.

Posted by: 💯 28th February 2016, 08:51 PM

I barely had enough songs to vote for. Semi 2 seemed better than semi one in the end. And the AQs are great

Posted by: Chez Wombat 28th February 2016, 08:55 PM

I actually thought the 28th was tomorrow oops

I'm putting my votes together now though, TEN other songs outside of my top 15 I wanted to vote for including some 9/10 moments Strongest final in a long, long time.

Posted by: Ethan 28th February 2016, 09:25 PM

voted ~ tremendous final

Posted by: Cody Slayberry 28th February 2016, 09:30 PM

I wasn't even gonna vote but I did anyway. Yehesi/Ethanola to win

Posted by: Martyn 28th February 2016, 09:31 PM

Amazing attitude.

Posted by: Jade 28th February 2016, 09:50 PM

Am I a year too late?

Posted by: Mattias 28th February 2016, 09:57 PM

Why?

Posted by: Dan_ 28th February 2016, 10:07 PM

Still need 11 more votes!!

I will be accepting right up until 16:30 tomorrow (i.e. until I'm home from school) however you will be subject to a 15% deduction if you do not vote before 23:59 tonight so I suggest you vote asap!!!

Posted by: Dobbo 28th February 2016, 10:26 PM

Not partaking in this contest but given all the songs a listen anyway, shame I wasn't here for this high quality edition!

Vülkyria to win and Hendinia, #00274E, Ethanola & Cumulonimbia to all perform well

Posted by: Cody Slayberry 28th February 2016, 10:47 PM

For those questioning why I said I was probably not gonna vote (I'm looking at you, 80% OF THE BUZZJACK POPULATION) I meant I thought I was gonna forget about this.

Posted by: Virginia's Walls 28th February 2016, 10:53 PM

Yah already on it.

Posted by: Martyn 28th February 2016, 11:07 PM

To quote you



If you meant you thought you'd forget why not say I nearly forgot to vote, rather than I wasn't going to vote?

Posted by: Vülker 28th February 2016, 11:37 PM

Voted. It was down to the wire and a song gained two more points at the very last minute as it's still playing over and over in my head.

FARC better vote!

Posted by: Silas 28th February 2016, 11:48 PM

Fighting with eduroam but they will be in on time.

Posted by: Virginia's Walls 28th February 2016, 11:50 PM

Posted by: ♦ ketalina ♦ 29th February 2016, 06:03 PM

definitely coming for a bottom 10 finish tonight, total vacuum of hype but supporting my faves and i genuinely think my 18 could win!

Posted by: 💯 29th February 2016, 06:08 PM

Oh so it wasn't for me then ;_;

Posted by: HausofTroye 29th February 2016, 06:08 PM

I think I'll be in bed/sleeping when the results start but I am very excited for them. I really hope my song can do decently because I am never confident in my entries but this one screamed HIT to me so if I'm wrong it means I have lost perspective with the contest :'( (over dramatic but let me be for one contest please!!1)

Posted by: Virginia's Walls 29th February 2016, 06:14 PM

Me too CD

Not sure my 18 will win but 15 should have a decent shot as that is their best ever entry - in fact I don't think I liked much of their past efforts!

Posted by: Oliver 29th February 2016, 07:19 PM

I reckon a 22-25th placing for Tunak Tunak Tun.

Posted by: Silas 29th February 2016, 07:21 PM
