First I do the traffic light method.. I got 31 songs for green and 5 for yellow.. So I listened to the 5 yellow one more time (1 of them got points) and then I rated out of 10. So it's like a regular final :)
Once I get down to the countries I like, usually around 18/20, I listen to all of them again. Once I get the top15 done, I check out the countries that had a similar rating to see if I should do some swapping

I'm easily pleased, too. I had about 21 on green, 8 of which I gave 10/10.

 

I've been through my green countries, and ranked them in order of preference. While ranking, I didn't look at what I gave them out of 10 (my greens either got an 8, 9 or 10), but my top 8 did end up being the 8 I gave 10/10. I'll send my votes tomorrow, as I've already missed 20mins of Big Brother.

I'm watching BB off my Sky+ box, was watching Denmark Vs Japan (Yatta Nippooooooooooooooooon :wub:) My next National Final may take a similar format :kink:

 

Anyway I voted now :cheer:

Wow. Some of you have a 10/10 inflation. :lol:

 

I rate them like that as well but in the last 10 contests there were at best 5 10/10s for me.

 

I mean, 10 out of 10 basically means that it can't be topped, it can't get any better. Are those songs really songs that couldn't be any better? :P

I didn't have any 10/10's this month :( Lots of 9's though!

 

I literally only ever give songs worthy of going top 3 in my personal chart a 10/10

I'm even more harsh with my rates!

6/7's tops for the best songs, most earning a 5.

 

9/10 - Epic

8 - Excellent

7 - Very Good

6 - Good

4/5 - O.K.

3 - Poor

2 - Very Poor

0/1 - Tragic

I don't think my entry is a 10 though.

It's a 6.5/7 and my previous entry, an 8/8.5?! :kink:

 

10s in my ranking are points between 90-100, I think i've given out like 3-5 of those since I've joined the competition. Even 9s aren't that common for me. But 90% of them fall between 5 and 8, so that's why it's hard for me to order them.

Reminders sent to all apart from Robot, whose PM box is full as usual :P
I'm 4 tracks in (yes, I KNOW! :(), and I so far have 2 OMGLUSH tracks, 1 THISISALRIGHT song and the another is YAAWN. I've also decided to adapt this traffic light system, as well as marking them out of 10, to make it easier for myself. :D

I'll point you right into the direction of this post if you give the 'not enough time to vote' reason on the poll after the contest :lol:

What can I say, I'm a popular lazy man.

 

I've still got all of the BJSC votes in there. :lol:

I rated the songs out of ten for the first time this contest and the verdict is:

 

10/10 - 2

9/10 - 3

8/10 - 4

7/10 - 9

6/10 - 14

5/10 - 5

4/10 - 2

3/10 - 3

2/10 - 2

1/10 - 1

0/10 - 0 (Giving 0's would be mean :P)

 

I'm not sure if I'm being too nice or too harsh with my points (If I have to put my mean face on there's probably a few songs now that I think about it that probably deserve to go down a place...especially in the 6's category), there were quite a few songs that interested me but they were missing something...so it was almost but not quite for alot of songs.

 

edit: I decided 2 songs deserve 10/10 status because they're miles ahead of the the other 9/10 songs

Ashton has voted :cheer:

 

Bitch please, we're not Ashtvia, we don't just dish out the high points swaps for nuttin' :heart:

There's no T in FSR Ashvia -_-

 

 

 

RE: The whole cheap thing. I am past caring tbh. Just because i refuse to send something BJSC friendly with the aim of doing well/qualifying over what i'm loving right now but wouldn't do as well doesn't mean everyone else should. We all approach this contest differently. I love my entry this month sooooooooooooooo much, and sure, Riverside and Back To The Start aside i wouldn't change a single entry of mine, i'm proud of how each one has done. Moreso for songs like Colour Me Dirty and Alone. It took me a while to move away from Semi-cheap and i do flirt with it occasionally, but on the whole i am far happier with the songs i have entered from XII onwards than with the songs i entered from I- XI even if my results took a swan dive. Then again, it's not about the winning for me, never has been. I here for the discoveries, pure and simple.

Kylienips have voted... :magic: its a very poor contest, it was pretty easy in the end quite a lot of dud ones.

 

Anyone for :coffee:
