June 24, 201015 yr 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 :)
June 24, 201015 yr 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
June 24, 201015 yr 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.
June 24, 201015 yr 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:
June 24, 201015 yr 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

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 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? :PI'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:
June 24, 201015 yr 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.
June 25, 201015 yr Author 29 hours left to vote (closes at 7pm BST tomorrow), 24 countries still to vote, reminders will be sent out shortly. I know most of you will vote tonight or tomorrow so just ignore them :P Late votes will not be accepted and you will lost 33% of your final score by failing to vote.
June 25, 201015 yr 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

June 25, 201015 yr Reminders sent to all apart from Robot, whose PM box is full as usual :P What can I say, I'm a popular lazy man. I've still got all of the BJSC votes in there. :lol:
June 25, 201015 yr I've given a record 15 songs 1/10 for this. The standard is absolutely diabolical. :puke:
June 25, 201015 yr 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 Edited June 25, 201015 yr by Sabrewulf
June 25, 201015 yr 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.
June 25, 201015 yr 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:
