-Palmyra (never Q'd?)

The random.org Award for Most Unlucky Entry of 2009

-Angelicland XVI - Flipsyde - When It Was Good (surely this was made for the top ten?)

-Ashton XVII – Nevio; Gabriella Cilmi – Non Ti Aspettavo (ridiculous DNQ)

-Kopečka XVI - Dead Disco - You're Out (Boots always smashes here!)

-Kylienips XIV - Pet Shop Boys - Love etc (an uber-cheap contest yet the best cheap song was the only one to miss the final!?!)

-Numayania XIV - Alcazar - We Keep On Rockin' (couldn't quite break into that cheap top ten despite making me an Alcaloon :snif:)

-Quotosibb XVIII - M$ney - Future (ok I was partly to blame giving it only 1 point in the final but this was at least one of the ten best songs in XVIII)

-Ojnoj XVII - LeToya - She Ain't Got (apologies Jonjo :snif: wasn't a fan)

-Numayania XX - Alphabeat - The Spell (I love it, although far less than I used to, but was surprised it won when the superior Boyfriend only came low top ten a year earlier - what's particularly upsetting was that the superior Stay The Night only finished 2nd behind the Silly Boy juggernaut a month earlier :snif:)

 

The Best Nation Comeback Award for 2009 (awarded to the country which has made, song-quality wise, the best improvement throughout the year)

 

-Mdice - so good now, even the DNQ's were better than most, wasn't a big fan of Mdice in 2008 two or three songs aside

-Ojnoj - become a very very respectable country now :wub:

-Ashton - 2009 was an infinitely better year for Ashton than 2008 in terms of originality and song quality for me, even if the results didn't reflect this :(

-Kopecka - Has always sent great songs but has been unrivalled for me in 2009

-FNT Nickodonia - worked out how to regularly qualify with some excellent songs :cheer:

Nonsuch XIII - Nerina Pallot - When Did I Become Such A Bitch

Numayania XIV - Alcazar - We Keep On Rockin'

Kathaldazia XV - Jody - Wind It

Nonsuch XIII - Nerina Pallot - When Did I Become Such A Bitch

Numayania XIV - Alcazar - We Keep On Rockin'

The Worst Entry of 2009 Award

 

I'll go with musically instead of cheaply for this one;

 

-Kopecka XVIII - Jasmine - Hot Loving (I love Jasmine too but this cod-reggae lyrical mess was painful - any word on The Truth yet? :o)

-Herzebania XVI - Martina - Idi Leda Mi Okreni (1 point too many :kink:)

-Egabbac XX - Envy - Set Yourself On Fire (truly terrible song)

-Scherzland XX - Miley Cyrus - Party In The USA (one of my least favourite songs of the year)

-Triodopolis XIII - Corinna Jane - Resistance (I expected so much from the return of one of my favourite 2008 nations - this was like a One True Voice demo :()

 

special mentions to anyone sending either Metro Station or 3OH!3 :puke: (Starstrukk aside :wub:)

-Ashton (Risks FTW)

-Mdice (6 wins says it all)

-Angelicland (consistently great)

-Quotosibb - (their impact can't be ignored but we NEED another Black Butta contest re-defining entry :wub: Hollywood is not one of these :kink:)

 

The Best Nation of 2009 Award

 

-Numayania - like FSR Rontvia's scandinavian brother

-Ashton - continues to inspire with great discoveries

-Kopecka - two consecutive 12's!

-Mdice - has in my eyes stepped up a notch in the last 12 months if that's possible - The Girl & The Robot, Tik Tok, Once I Was Like You, Your Body Is A Machine :wub:

-Greenfroze - made an instant impact and has had some deserved hits and tragically unfair DNQ's (Donkeyboy, Emmy Rossum)

Are you going to finish that any time soon? :heehee:

:w00t: I thought this idea was quite weak when i was writing it down to my mod application but apparently it's not :kink:

What is the difference between ill-informed and uninspired entry? Is an ill-informed entry an entry that someone thinks is going to win the contest but ends up doing moderately? I.e. Nerina Pallot or Mira Craig?

I took ill-informed to mean either 'bizarre choice from a country that should know better' or 'song that would never do well in BJSC in a million years' e.g. Go Mario Go and whilst Go Mario Go was by no means an uninspired cheap choice (in fact it was rather a brave one :lol:) it was certainly not one that was ever going to appeal to anyone here
