I have voted already, so it's less of a lingering distraction from all the revision I need to do this week x

Posted by: Liаm 13th May 2017, 03:06 AM

Omg closing the final, saving the best for last *.*

Posted by: UltraGreenLight 13th May 2017, 08:21 AM

Voted x still gutted I lost Hushkanukia/most of my faves but my top 15 is still really strong, fab month!

Posted by: mdh 13th May 2017, 09:14 AM

Opening the final *.* is that a good thing? Idk

Posted by: l♀tita 13th May 2017, 09:16 AM

I'd like to host a plug sesh this Tuesday for this if that's alright (unless of course 7 you had any plans <33)

Posted by: Cameron 13th May 2017, 09:23 AM

Voted

Posted by: Silas 13th May 2017, 09:31 AM

Three months in a row I've had to repeat this :')

Posted by: Cody S. Berry 13th May 2017, 12:55 PM

Why am I in the death slot

Seven we are OVER

Posted by: Cameron 13th May 2017, 12:58 PM

bby death slot means nothing. Stop over analysing everything

Posted by: Cody S. Berry 13th May 2017, 01:02 PM

...I'm never making a joke again

Posted by: HarryApa 13th May 2017, 02:23 PM

I voted really early this month as smart choice so I can do uni work

Posted by: Cody S. Berry 13th May 2017, 02:47 PM

But really tho

I don't think this was done randomly

Posted by: Rob S ~ 13th May 2017, 03:41 PM

Just voted now. A load of growers, one song that missed my votes from semi 2 is in this lot now as it's quite lovely, my top 3 are all solid as although my 18 is something else

Posted by: Liаm 13th May 2017, 03:45 PM

I am fairly sure Seven has better things to in life than "fix" an online competition against an imaginary country heralded by someone he's never met

Posted by: Silas 13th May 2017, 03:48 PM

We've said that before...

Posted by: Cucumberella 13th May 2017, 03:54 PM

!

Posted by: Liаm 13th May 2017, 03:57 PM

!!!!!!!!!!

Voting now, same reason as Bre to let this lessen distractions to me as I have to really get on with revising. I'll probs still end up at the inevitable plug sesh but this gives me somewhat of a chance of being productive x

Posted by: sticky icky trav 13th May 2017, 04:04 PM

will vote for this over the weekend probably so i don't forget

in other news, i'm gonna start sending songs i think will 100% lose in the contest because clearly i have no idea what will and will not get through lmao

Posted by: Cody S. Berry 13th May 2017, 04:13 PM

you guys are horrible people

Posted by: Iz~ 13th May 2017, 04:17 PM

I feel sure that Seven chose my position specifically because he knows I have never won from the 28th position before. Fix (probably).

I always find the contest more fun when I'm just sending out whatever I'm enjoying the shit out of (hence Let Me Hear), everyone do that.

Posted by: sticky icky trav 13th May 2017, 04:23 PM

i have a very Iz song for next contest

Posted by: Cody S. Berry 13th May 2017, 04:23 PM

all I wanted was to be a little coy with mdh

wink wink nudge nudge

Posted by: Cameron 13th May 2017, 04:42 PM

If we're going to be horrible, let's talk about the time you hosted... You said we couldn't play my song on plug, said the only reason I qualify is because of block votes and blocked me from pming you which I had to publically bring up to get you to notice. So you can't scream fix 😂

Posted by: *Tim 13th May 2017, 05:20 PM

Omg beef

Posted by: Cody S. Berry 13th May 2017, 05:44 PM

I just wanted mdh to read the #MedheLupus post I didn't ask to be buzzjack's social pariah thx bye

Posted by: Mack 13th May 2017, 06:36 PM

Voted, again a high quality final.

Posted by: mdh 13th May 2017, 06:51 PM

(missing Pupok, Quintessa and Espen)

Posted by: gooddelta 15th May 2017, 11:48 AM

Voted.

Been really behind with this contest but caught up on all the DNQs from the opposite semi and it's a big shame to lose Summericia, East Rukahavian, Singerpurear and Cadelicia in particular, all would have got final points from me had they made it across the line.

The semi one qualifiers are mostly great! In the end I loved 14 songs in this final, and there were a handful of others I quite liked.

Posted by: Leonardo 15th May 2017, 03:32 PM

Voted, a lot of great songs, don't get any of the contenders though, like any of them.

Posted by: David 15th May 2017, 04:55 PM

Just caught up with this - been very behind with Eurovision this week! Great to qualify for the final again - hoping for a decent finish for Bhangra!

Posted by: Cucumberella 15th May 2017, 05:01 PM

BOOOOOO

Posted by: Leonardo 15th May 2017, 05:04 PM

_{(you whore)}

Posted by: Chez Wombat 15th May 2017, 05:27 PM

Just two of my final votes here were from Semi 1, don't think I've ever had a set of votes so dominated by a single semi, but that's what happens when you lose your whole semi top 4! Thankfully both were great and very high standard across the board, throwing Lotunia some hype <3

Posted by: Jonjo 15th May 2017, 07:09 PM

Hype for Desbuanda please?

Reminds me of one of the darker/more personal songs you'd find on a Twenty One Pilots album, which of course is a GREAT thing!

Posted by: l♀tita 15th May 2017, 07:10 PM

ABSOLUTELY this! i'll throw some hype there too <3

plug sesh is tomorrow, starting around 7:30 as always!

Posted by: NocheLuna 15th May 2017, 08:00 PM

Yay, thanks for the hype!

Anyway, I have voted I only voted for four of the entries from semi one... ops (I guess I found semi two stronger + Beaverdonia and -π did not qualify, both of their entries would have gotten points from me if they did).

Going to echo what Jonjo and Lotita has already written, "The Heart Dies" is really a gem and It will hopefully finish higher than predicted.

Posted by: Chez Wombat 15th May 2017, 08:59 PM

I also echo the Desbuanda hype, not typically my sort of thing, but the dark feel and intense delivery really made it stand out (in fact, I quite liked all the urban/rap tracks in the final to an extent, slightly different to my usual tastes).

Posted by: Noahspike 16th May 2017, 12:16 AM

Been an eternity since a Desbuanda hype train made an appearance! Usually just have to make do with a DNQ consensus followed by scraping the bottom of everyone's odds (or at least it feels like that). Thanks guys, glad you like it too. <3

Expecting to thunder up to a cushy position in RontBet's third quartile any time now...

Posted by: lotita 16th May 2017, 02:24 PM

another reminder that the plug sesh is at half 7 tonight (i hope ppl show up as no one has said anything about the sesh being on today which is a good thing i guess???)

Posted by: Jacob. 16th May 2017, 03:16 PM

^I'll sadly miss it because I'm out (for once ) but enjoy! I like plugging for BJSC though so I might do a second session for anyone else who can't make it on Thursday or something if there's enough interest.

Posted by: gooddelta 16th May 2017, 03:16 PM

A flurry of bets have come in indeed! I'll need to look into shorterning those odds substantially!

Posted by: lotita 16th May 2017, 05:51 PM

https://plug.dj/buzzjack-listen-throughs/ PRE PARTY

Posted by: popchartfreak 16th May 2017, 08:37 PM

Yet to vote but I'm totally on board for Team Yehesi again - been awhile since I went big on a Tim entry - there are some other big contenders too but they are all high on the Rontbet odds list and dont need the hype as much.

So, Into The Fire, and burn baby burn

Because it's a f***ing tune

Posted by: Jacob. 16th May 2017, 10:56 PM

I'll take 8 woots considering I wasn't even there! Not that they're necessarily an indication of anything significant (a woot could be a commiseration, one point or eighteen) but it does help a bit.

Posted by: Addy K!ng 17th May 2017, 04:03 AM

omg at that 7/7 reaction to Vök

Posted by: burbe 17th May 2017, 09:17 AM

Posted by: danG 17th May 2017, 04:56 PM

Posted by: Silas 17th May 2017, 05:42 PM

Let me assist!


18 / République d'Ashton

Posted by: JosephStyles🐶 17th May 2017, 05:50 PM

Voted, definitely quite a weak final despite a strong semi 1. Semi 2 certainly helped fill out the bottom end of my ranking

Posted by: Jonjo 17th May 2017, 06:56 PM

I actually found it to be a solid final! Really enjoyed just about everything to some extent (bar one or two songs!!)

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 17th May 2017, 06:56 PM

Voted! Was very hard I have to say, 9 of the songs could have quite happily been my 18!

Also I'm stopping doing speadsheets bc I think it was upsetting some peoplle and I'm lazy

Posted by: danG 17th May 2017, 08:51 PM

Sent my botes now. Much stronger final than last month.

Posted by: The-BrightPlaces 17th May 2017, 11:12 PM

Posted by: Jacob. 18th May 2017, 07:57 PM

I'm plugging the final in the listen through room if anyone wants to join, it's more of an unofficial thing but I really need to listen and thought I might as well do it on plug. x

I WILL vote but don't take that as my APPROBATION for all this BEIGE NOISE

Can you check if there are any mistakes in mine because I used the voting template that I had from last contest

Posted by: Riser 19th May 2017, 05:14 AM

This was super tough! There was basically nothing separating my 1 point and 11 points, and some songs that I expected to get high-ish points from me are getting none whatsoever!

Posted by: FrankLuck 19th May 2017, 08:21 PM

Just realised (before submitting my votes) that Summericia also DNQd. Wow. I love my top 2 to bits, but my 3rd "favourite" in the final would've been 11th in BJSC94, basically a filler (and it's still better than the rest).

Posted by: Iz~ 19th May 2017, 09:02 PM

Votes be in, I should have done it yesterday but I kept procrastinating and I wanted to get back into the swing of proper commentary.

Posted by: mdh 19th May 2017, 09:04 PM

Posted by: Harve 19th May 2017, 09:06 PM

Well he can still submit late votes and not be banned ~ but coming for a deduction at least oops.

Posted by: lewistgreen 19th May 2017, 11:17 PM

My apologies, there will be no Thelonia votes this time. It's been an awful week

Posted by: Cody S. Berry 19th May 2017, 11:39 PM

So Thelonia is getting banned then?

(unless you've talked to Seven about it in which case it's cool ~)

Posted by: Silas 19th May 2017, 11:55 PM

No...... its unless you've spoken to a moderator

Posted by: Cucumberella 20th May 2017, 02:50 PM

when r results???

Posted by: SevenSeize 20th May 2017, 03:14 PM

I don't have a specific time in mind but let's say ermmm sometime around 7-8

~

latest situation~
New Lexico [no deduction; withdrawn by mods]
Thelonia [33% deduction, one month ban]
Buzzjack Mountain [one month ban]

There is an error in Greenfroze's votes we've yet to resolve (included a song that isn't in the final), hopefully that can be fixed before results but if not i presumably just move every song below that up a spot?

Posted by: Silas 20th May 2017, 03:20 PM

Yes, just up a spot!

Posted by: Cucumberella 20th May 2017, 05:24 PM

WHY 👏 ARE 👏 PEOPLE 👏 STILL 👏 NOT 👏 VOTING 👏 15 👏 SONGS 👏 IN 👏 THE 👏 RIGHT 👏 FORMAT 👏 WITH 👏 THE 👏 RIGHT 👏 SONGS

Posted by: Cody S. Berry 20th May 2017, 06:40 PM

that was more silas but less passive aggressive
