Suprised at how well I'm going. Steady stream of points.

 

I never look at the videos. Do you guys take them into account when scoring?

 

The song I gave 20 to is doing quite poorly.

I must admit I do, to help me concentrate I always watch the videos, otherwise I might have the song on in the background and not listen to it properly. It's impossible not to like a song better if it fits around a great video, image and sound naturally compliment eachother, so I can't see (unless of course you only listened to the MP3s) one couldn't, even if only subconsciously? Pigeons for one, only grabbed me at first because of the striking images, and the music took a little longer to grow, but the video sped up that process.

I agree entirely with this. Something magical happens when a song has that perfect strengthening through a music video which brings about that artistic concept's very essence and qualities in the best ways possible. Though on the opposite end of the scale there are those songs who - unfortunately - appears less impressive/weaker (as it actually is/could be), with just this $h!tty awful music video. But is this too unfair to songs without a video? I think that's the question.. although I've always taken just about everything into account when evaluating my score for an entry.

 

It's kind of like considering on a new place to live; there's the price, the location, neighbours, sorroundings, other various possibilities and of course the house itself. Even if someone doesn't care about the neighbours or location etc, it's still a part of what your choice ultimately has to offer (i.e. it's quality).

NOOOOOOO

OOOOO

OO

I love the TV On The Radio track, but unfortunately I have already got the album so it wasn't 'unknown' to me and lost points for that reason.

 

Sorry I wasn't able to watch the results last night - damn early start at work!

Shocked that Pictureplane and Teenagersintokoyo aren't doing that well. :(

 

Thanks Mark for the effort put in to sort this. :D

okay so, did I managed to stay inside top 10?

Oh well at least I'm not second last anymore

I usually sit back with my mp3 player and go through the tunes one by one, not doing anything else so I dont get distracted.

 

I may go with the videos method next time but I did found that the quality of the youtube clip for Gobble Gobble didn't have nearly as much sound quality as the mp3so I think I will use both methods - it might explain why it's going so poorly in the competition. I think it's amazingly well produced.

WOW, i expected to be bottom 5 the whole time :lol:

 

Thank you all who voted for me :wub: I know my entry wasn't a shock to anybody :heehee:

 

I better be cracking that Top 10 then :angry:

Not getting the Pigeons love at all. I like the bass. Nothing else in it is doing very much for me. I much prefer Prisoner. St Vincent is just irritating.

Woohoo! I'm doing really well... or really badly. One or the other :kink: Thanks for everyone who did or didn't vote for me so far, very happy with the top 2 at the moment ^_^

Well done/commiserations Tom. It must be fabulous/tough at the Top/bottom.

No way Pigeons is the best song here.

 

My track (Neptune City) is perhaps a bit too adult-orientated for this contest.

The winning song in any UP has yet to impress me.

I'll start tonight at about 7...

Again I will miss the results. :(

Looking good so far, top10 still possible.

 

I'm surprised at the many low-point votes Hurt got. I thought it was a song that you either love or hate, not something in the middle. :P

 

Thx to everybody who gave Hurt points so far, esepcially for the 20 points to SKOB and Botanikka (:o :kink:) and the 15 to Mikey. :wub:

House Carpenter is a brilliant song although must admit that it did sound unique here which might have helped it.

I gave Hurt some points I think.

Thx. Can't wait to see how many they are. :P

Ooh that last vote took Prisoner so close to the Top 10.

 

Fingers crossed!
