March 13, 201015 yr Well it won't be after this evening and will almost certainly slip through the net into the contest if it doesn't get nominated here on the off chance :P - I am 99% certain it has no chance to win said contest this evening now, but somebody will try their luck with it here - I guarantee it. I know exactly the song you are on about and I considered nominating it for the banlist but I feared a backlash if I nominated it for that purpose.
March 13, 201015 yr I know exactly the song you are on about and I considered nominating it for the banlist but I feared a backlash if I nominated it for that purpose. I don't think there'd be a backlash - anyone considering it for the contest is seriously after a cheap win here. Sounds like me and Nick nominated it so it only needs one more vote! It's not like anybody's specifically declared an interest to send it in their national thread, so they can't complain if it gets banned.
March 13, 201015 yr I'd not take part in the B-side spin-off tbh. I'm not interested in UK charts and therefore i have no idea what was B-side or not.
March 13, 201015 yr Author Timoteij - Kom has been banned ;o Backlash TIP? :lol: It isn't made public who voted for what, so I don't see why you should fear any backlashes...
March 13, 201015 yr Woo! no shock really, and I can stop talking cryptically about it now - but honestly, it would have been the first foreign winner I reckon, which is nice but it's already attracted enough attention on BuzzJack (even with non ESC/MF fans) to warrant it not being sent here.
March 13, 201015 yr I can confirm I would've sent it. Here's hoping it wins anyway! :( That would have been your cheapest entry possibly to date!
March 13, 201015 yr I really don't think 'Kom' would have won it... Honestly. There's only about 5 people who say they "love" it. But all the rest really aren't that bothered... I certainly ain't and couldn't see it winning... but afterall I said Alphabeat had zero chance of winning and look what happened HAHA!
March 13, 201015 yr RESERVATION THREAD SHALL START TOMORROW. (but probably quite late in the night seeing as it's Mother's Day) I'll announce all other dates when this goes up, but I expect it'll go a week for Reservation/Confirmation.. A week for Semi Voting and another week for Final Voting, so it should end on the Easter Weekend, either the Sunday or Monday depending on the Easter plans :] Hope you'll all be happy with these dates, sorry for my lack of being around etc. I've not had a laptop/internet and had exam results this week = going out/partay. BUT I HAVE A NEW LAPTOP NOW! :cheer: SO I R BACK.
March 13, 201015 yr RESERVATION THREAD SHALL START TOMORROW. (but probably quite late in the night seeing as it's Mother's Day) Bless you :heart:

Probably a good thing we did judging by what just went down in Sweden :lol:
March 13, 201015 yr It became obvious at some point last week that Kom wasn't going to be the victor we were hoping for. And judging by the international jury votes, it doesn't look like it would have done overly well at ESC either. Salem is the 'one that got away' I reckon...
March 13, 201015 yr So who's sending Salem? :kink: I'm really amazed that there was enough interest in Kom to ban it. I understand why it didn't win, I'm just gutted that we'll never hear the English version :(
March 13, 201015 yr I am supposed to send Salem actually. :kink: It's my favourite song of MF this year (as well as Caroline was of 2009) but i will pass :P
March 13, 201015 yr Do I get marked down then? my entries almost never have music videos :lol: unless a single picture with the song playing underneath is a great video :heehee: Nah, not marked down if you don't have a video. It's more of a bonus, really. But let's say you have a song I rate 8, and you don't have a video. And another country has a song which I also rate 8, but that song has an amazing video, then that will make me give that country/song more points. Obivously! :cheer:

I understand why it didn't win, I'm just gutted that we'll never hear the English version :( I think it was just me, Rich and Theo who voted to ban it :kink:. Don't quote me on that, though.
March 14, 201015 yr Timoteij/Kom references/signatures/avatars are crawling all over BuzzJack at the moment, it's been pretty inescapable on here I'd say...even to non-ESC fans I'm sure its existence has been acknowledged from it going to #1 in 4 or 5 personal charts, and obviously people want to see what's so special about it... I'd probably say it's had equal hype on here, if not more, to Do Wah Doo and Pyromania so I don't see why it should be a special case to escape banning just because it's a Eurovision national finalist. Cheap doesn't necessarily just have to mean the latest UK/BuzzJack friendly releases.
