Posted by: gooddelta 16th August 2020, 09:06 AM

Voted! Hopefully Close Cover will get some love <3

There were some fantastic entries last year, nice to relive them. One I’m not sure I pointed in its original contest too!

Come on Ellipsis!!!

Posted by: Thom Femenerkay 16th August 2020, 09:56 AM

Ooh, good chance for a catch-up here I only know like 3 songs

Posted by: Klumzee 16th August 2020, 10:06 AM

Lol it’s been 84 years what is this the best of I can’t remember?

Posted by: Codeiric Diary 17th August 2020, 12:56 AM

I see the Cor Lupus racism continues with Hanne Mjøen being given the death slow x

Posted by: Thom Femenerkay 17th August 2020, 08:39 AM

Has anyone made/is anyone making a Spotify playlist for this please?

Posted by: Iz~ 17th August 2020, 08:53 AM

With only one song missing:
22 // Summericia 119 // Nobuo Uematsu - Toberu Mono (Thaehan Remix)

Let me know if any of those are the wrong versions.

Going through that list properly made me realise how good a spread of songs it is from the last year, I think this is a great way of doing TBO!

Posted by: Harve 17th August 2020, 09:15 AM

Fuck.

Now I have to finish my top 500 too.

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 17th August 2020, 09:38 AM

Now can we not come last please.

Posted by: King Rollo 19th August 2020, 06:38 PM

Voted. I have assumed countries not involved are allowed to vote.

Posted by: Quarantilas 19th August 2020, 06:45 PM

You have assumed correctly

Posted by: Bré 20th August 2020, 04:09 PM

Going to do a plug session for this at 8pm this evening for anyone who may be interested x

Voted! So many songs I gave medal positions to originally were in this final. My 1 pointer in this was a 7 pointer originally, what a bloodbath

Posted by: coi 20th August 2020, 10:30 PM

Voted! Such a strong final, so many songs I wanted to vote for but had to leave out!

Posted by: Quarantilas 21st August 2020, 07:22 PM

You’ve like 27,75 hrs left so get to it

Posted by: Klumzee 22nd August 2020, 10:53 AM

I’m going to listen to the songs across today! There’s a few I’m unfamiliar with so it’ll be good to get some discoveries which you guys approve of alongside revisiting my faves!

Posted by: Rob S 22nd August 2020, 02:40 PM

Votes sent.. Very strong selection. Some real gems that I missed first time round!

Posted by: AH Gold 22nd August 2020, 03:25 PM

Voted! Adore my whole Top 15

Posted by: Chez Wombat 22nd August 2020, 04:34 PM

Voted. I'm still bitter at missing out seven months later but fair play, this was a pretty wonderful final that certainly feels very reflective of the best of the year, how good were 113 and 115 in particular?

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 22nd August 2020, 04:38 PM

Voted!

As for feedback, I was apprehensive about how this would work at the start but really liked the format! I have to admit I did like the oddities from the old format (like when I'm From Barcelona made the Top 10 of rejects) but the whole thing with adding different songs in was a nice touch as well, seeing Green make it from the first round all the way to the final was a highlight as well. I like both formats but the effort put into making something new and exciting this year was great to see.

Posted by: Bré 22nd August 2020, 06:25 PM

Just remembered that I hadn't actually sent my votes yet after getting them ready immediately after plug the other day lel

Voted now x (and just realising now how dirty we did BJSC 118 here x)

Posted by: Klumzee 22nd August 2020, 09:16 PM

Voted! I had a feeling what my 18 would be and I was right but a couple songs I didn’t really know from their original contest have made it in! It’s been a good playlist to have on throughout today as they are all high quality songs!

Posted by: Thom Femenerkay 22nd August 2020, 09:31 PM

Voted LOVE the new format, and the increased likelihood of actually being in this next year

Posted by: ✖ leww ✖ 22nd August 2020, 09:34 PM

my 18 was one of the BEST discoveries i'd made thru BJSC of all-time and the country in question knew it at the time too, my feelings haven't changed!

Posted by: Riser 23rd August 2020, 01:56 AM

Similar to Pete, I like both formats for different reasons, but this one does feel more representative and like a proper 'all-star' list of the year. And it's nice that some lesser hits/rejects can still dark horse their way to the final!

Posted by: Bré 23rd August 2020, 01:59 AM

I think I prefer this format to the old one but it's not without its downsides (for example it's a shame that a country like Fljótavík only got to have one song in contention throughout the entire process). Could maybe try and tweak the formula a little this year to make sure weird outliers like that don't happen again.

The fact that 'Green' made it all the way to the final kind of singlehandedly vindicates this format for me!

Posted by: Quarantilas 23rd August 2020, 05:08 PM

Everyone ready for these results?

Posted by: Thom Femenerkay 23rd August 2020, 05:09 PM

Oh yes

Posted by: Jade 23rd August 2020, 05:25 PM

Yessssss

Posted by: Klumzee 23rd August 2020, 05:27 PM

Bring them on!
