April 9, 201114 yr These comments always make me paranoid. I could easily be 0/10, or 8/10 as I'd say 'catchy, generic' suits my entry. But Pavel, how does 'boring, nothing else to say about it' = 7/10? Boring can still be good. 7 is borderline good/average too. :o
April 9, 201114 yr I'm thinking I'm one of the 9 or 10s Pav :D Seeing as you seem to love Jolin and a few of the clues in that range seem to fit Meiren Ji! Edited April 9, 201114 yr by Liаm
April 9, 201114 yr How can you love someone like a 'punk rock song'? :P Anyway, jumping on the bandwagon, but representing SF2: Semi Final 2 10/10 - Fantastic! I love the 'relaxed-dance' feel to this :wub: Plus the singer's voice is beautiful! 10/10 - Sounds a bit like 'When Love Takes Over', this is definitely defying my early mis-conceptions of Scandi-pop! 9/10 - Currently my most voted for country, and the don't disappoint! Love the chorus :D 8.5/10 - Wasn't expecting this country to send such a good song! Disappointing to see other people don't think highly of it :( 8.5/10 - From the moment I heard the first few seconds of this, I knew it'd be a favourite :heart: Will probably do very well. 8.5/10 - Tired on me a bit, but still love it :D 8/10 - Another country that has consistently done well with me, very MoR but it's nice ^_^ 8/10 - Always look forward to what this country enters, one of the few songs I had heard before the contest, and I really should have given more points to this. Now it's 8.5-9 territory, if it gets through, expect more points. 8/10 - Surprised to see this doing SO badly in predictions, I know it's not that BuzzJack friendly, but I can't help but smile when I hear this :) 8/10 - Good song, but it certainly won't be needing points to get through. ------------------------------------------------------- VOTED FOR ^^^ ------------------------------------------------------------- 7.5/10 - This country ALWAYS just misses out on points from me. Bit disappointing considering the artist and what they've done. But it's a nice song. :) 7.5/10 - Meh. Nice, but pretty boring. 7/10 - One of those songs which you know is good, but you don't really want to like it. At least it doesn't fade into the background. 7/10 - This should have been amazing! Country did very well last time, interesting artists and made for the club. But it just completely misses the point. And sort of drones on :( 7/10 - Can't get over her face. :lol: This song is just so empty. And sounds like a failed Eurovision entry. 6.5/10 - Expected something a bit better considering the country who sent it. It just doesn't go anywhere :( 6.5/10 - These sort of songs are hit and miss for me, this missed. :( Definitely an interesting entry though. 6/10 - Nice, sort of thing that should do well in BJSC but it's so MoR that it just fades into the background. 5/10 - This didn't have a chance of getting through, I'm just glad that this country keeps entering after consistently getting bad results and keeping the variety. 3/10 - Will never understand this country's taste in music, generic as hell. Boring, annoying. Just bleurgh! The thing is this country will probably get through just because of who they are.
April 9, 201114 yr I'm thinking I'm one of the 9 or 10s Pav :D Seeing as you seem to love Jolin and a few of the clues in that range seem to fit Meiren Ji! I'd have said the top 10/10. Her dance movements are very 'Vogue'!
April 9, 201114 yr Author How can you love someone like a 'punk rock song'? :P In the same way you can love someone like you love any other song? :P
April 9, 201114 yr I'd have said the top 10/10. Her dance movements are very 'Vogue'! Her album Myself is themed on the Vogue dance style, never thought of it that way! :o Love you Pav if Klumzee's right! :heart:
April 9, 201114 yr Jack i agree, those comments make me paranoid.. I thought the song was good but seeing the odds - it seems as if Aquafina don't have a strong chance :(
April 9, 201114 yr Jack i agree, those comments make me paranoid.. I thought the song was good but seeing the odds - it seems as if Aquafina don't have a strong chance :( Don't worry Lee, I wasn't too confident with my entry last time (my first time) but I came 8th (I was in the top 5 for a bit of the results!) and iirc my odds didn't indicate that! Before confirmation, I was sooo confident Jolin would better Alex (I mean she's the Chinese Gaga tbh!), but Meiren Ji isn't doing well in odds or predictions :( Let's be honest, if it was in English it'd be all over BJ and everyone's personal charts! And I like your song Lee ;) No pun intended btw :P
April 9, 201114 yr I must say that it's so great to see all this activity in here again! ^_^ Makes the contest even more interesting and exciting. Seems the new participants jolt started BJSC somehow, which we apparently needed :cheer: Edit: Let's not forget how the mods have run things lately regarding rules etc + stats threads has been fully updated :) Edited April 9, 201114 yr by Freeze

And I like your song Lee ;) No pun intended btw :P I don't think BJ is that xenophobic to not like a song because it's in Mandarin Chinese, and half of it is in barely distinguishable English anyway according to the sub-titles :lol: I really don't know why people don't think it'd do well. Competition? :unsure: Lots of people are saying that SF1 is the better of the two.

I know BJ aren't like that, I just think it would do if it was English, as would Sjus and Natteravan (but they'll both do well anyway!)
April 9, 201114 yr Well seeing as everyone else is doing it; Semi 1 9.5/10 - This is amazing and massively stands out :wub: 9/10 - Lovely song and a massive grower - deserves to do well 9/10 - Love this person, and have done since 2007 when said act was partly responsible for what was easily my favourite album of that year 9/10 - Interesting entry, the only one that I'm aware of that's 100% getting a UK release very soon, I love the song and have done for a few weeks 9/10 - I have a feeling that this act will be entered many times again in the future, they're great, as is this song, but I think there's better to come 9/10 - An act I have very close ties with, nice to see a return to BJSC with another pretty excellent song 8.5/10 - Very nice song/entry with a strong chorus and production 8.5/10 - This act has had far better singles in the past but this is still good 8.5/10 - This sounds like a UK smash in the waiting 8.5/10 - I'm ridiculously over this song, but I couldn't not give it anything out of principal! --------------------------------------- 8.5/10 - Very unique song and I did think it was a contender for my 12 points(!) at one point but it's quite grating on repeated listen 8.5/10 - This is so DNQ'ing :( I wish I could have given it a point or two but I didn't have room! 8/10 - Quite haunting and different, but not quite good enough for my points 7.5/10 - Very generic, but decent enough 7.5/10 - Another act who's had far better singles in the past 7/10 - A pretty good pop song, but nothing amazing 7/10 - Very unique entry which of course is appreciated, and bonus marks for that, but it wasn't entirely my cup of tea 6.5/10 - Not bad, went over my head a little though 6/10 - Sounds like a guaranteed non-qualifer, very average 2/10 - This would actually be a 7/10 or thereabouts as it's a nice enough melody but the production is HORRENDOUS and physically forced me to remove my earphones, therefore it's lucky to get a 2.
April 9, 201114 yr Semi 2 9.5/10 - What a great song! No surprise with the country behind it I guess 9.5/10 - I thought I was bored of this but clearly I'm not, it tramples all over the rest of the semi (save for one other song) 8.5/10 - This stands out as being unique and a brave entry, and for that you're rewarded but I smell a possible DNQ 8.5/10 - Generic as hell with a terrible lyric in the chorus, but it's catchy and been stuck in my head and this is a crap semi so it gets 7 points :lol: 8/10 - Rip off galore! Luckily it rips off one of the greatest pop songs of the last few years 8/10 - Decent song from an artist that I love, they've had FAR better though 8/10 - I really loved the first half of this and then it sort of dropped away into nothing, so was dropped from a 9/10 to and 8/10 8/10 - Has a very unique sound and stands out, so I had to give it a few points 8/10 - Like the song before the last one, great intro (10 worthy infact) and then it becomes a little bit bland 8/10 - I really thought that this song would be better, but it's just good enough for a point ------------------------------- 8/10 - I've heard this before and loved it at first but got bored of it by the 3rd listen, I think BJSC is over this 'sound' now but we'll see... 8/10 - I feel dirty liking this, thankfully not quite enough to give it points as I might have been the only one! 7.5/10 - Nice entry, but not quite my sort of thing 7.5/10 - Again, thought that this would be better 7.5/10 - Pretty throwaway but I quite liked it! 7.5/10 - Not bad but a massive disappointment for me, might be one of the favourites that flops 7/10 - Quite a unique song (credit for that, naturally), but the melody bored me 7/10 - Not bad, above average pop song 7/10 - Nice production, seemed to forget to bring a melody along for the ride 6/10 - Not awful, but not for me either 5/10 - One of the most misguided entries for a long time, I don't HATE it but it screams last place in the semi
April 9, 201114 yr I think the highest up description that fits 'Sjus' would be the one that begins with 'Has a very unique sound...' Not too great :(
April 9, 201114 yr I think I might have got a 10 on Klumzee's? IDK. I think I've got an 8 from Rich's - but underneath the dotted line.
April 9, 201114 yr I think I'm an 8.5 in Rich's rate, and without being bigheaded, a 10/10 in Klumzee's. I'm wondering if we should make a seperate thread for these though? I must say that it's so great to see all this activity in here again! ^_^ Makes the contest even more interesting and exciting. Seems the new participants jolt started BJSC somehow, which we apparently needed :cheer: Edit: Let's not forget how the mods have run things lately regarding rules etc + stats threads has been fully updated :) Yes, I'm pretty happy about that, this forum must have had mroe posts in the past week than in the last three contests. And thank you :kink:
