Perfume really wasn't very strong at all IMO, so I'm not surprised at Quotosibb's DNQ :o

 

I actually quite liked it - especially the first minute or so - although admittedly it fades a lot after that. My points for the non-qualifiers in both semis;

 

Semi 1

 

7 Points: N-Lazone: Sander van Doorn 'Love Is Darkness'

 

Semi 2

 

8 Points: Frahliso: Goldy Locks 'Hands of the Wicked'

4 Points: Quotosibb: Parade 'Perfume'

 

Disappointed for Quotosibb but truly GUTTED for N-Lazone and Frahliso - absolutely adored both of those, the former was already in my chart before I knew it was being entered to the contest!

Two of my top 10 failed to make it through:

 

06 - Espen

03 - N-Lazone

 

I thought Espen would definitely make it :(

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 ^_^ UNOSHAKE

 

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 :) PALMYRA

 

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. FRAHILSO

 

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 :( LETLAND

 

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. QUINTESSA

 

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. ZECHONIA

 

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. QUOTOSIBB

 

 

Two of my top 10 failed to make it through:

 

06 - Espen

03 - N-Lazone

 

I thought Espen would definitely make it :(

 

Thanks for the points! ^_^

 

When there are semi-finals, Espen rarely makes it. :heehee:

 

SEMI-FINAL RESULTS

SF2

I missed out by ONE POXY POINT? :arrr: waaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

I'm not sure if that tells us that the winner will come from Semi 2, or that the Semi 2 top few got higher points because they clearly stood head and shoulders above the dire pack, whilst Semi 1's quality was more consistent...will be an interesting final.

The later i reckon, although i'm not ruling out the winner being in SF2

I thought the overall quality of SF1 was quite impressive with the some songs tending to be at least ok - the majority were great though. :o

 

N-Lazone: Sander van Doorn 'Love Is Darkness' didn't make it through? :o

Wow, I got a 12, that makes the DNQ a bit less disappointing. Thx BaNG. :wub:

 

 

The overall result for SF2 isn't that bad, only 2 of my top 10 dind't make it.

 

 

12 Frahliso

07 Palmyra

I LOVED your song Zechh! :wub:! Shame to see no one else did though :(

OH, and YAY @ getting through. KAY 2 WIN ETC.

 

Shame to see AaronTM crash out.

Glad I'm through :D

 

However my favorites arent :(

 

12pts Aquafina // Maria Ilieva - I Like

8pts New Caprica // Lita - Let Go

2pts Lotopialand // Andreas Wijk - Like My Style

 

Not good!

:o at Quotosibb! We all suffer the fate of the DNQ eventually - Numayania excepted :drama:

 

I have to agree that the song was quite weak, especially the production. Sorry Aaron :snif: (Actually is it me, or does EVERYTHING Parade do sound cheap?) Anyway if I come top 10 this contest, I am DEFINITELY sending an Asian pop song to XXXIV :kink:

 

You saw what I voted for that didn't make it, I'm not gutted about Amber because I knew it was too old school to make it, but it did remind me of the late 90s :wub: But I was really surprised about The Dreamer, OK it's maybe not typical BJSC fare I would have thought a more urban Mumford sound would be up a lot of people's streets... :unsure:

On Buzzjack? :lol: I was shocked it did as well as it did! At one point it was looking likely to be the first ever nul pointer, and I wouldn't have been surprised if it had been.

Thanks for my votes, shame to miss out but not by too much! I think Frahliso will be entering again next time ^_^

On Buzzjack? :lol: I was shocked it did as well as it did! At one point it was looking likely to be the first ever nul pointer, and I wouldn't have been surprised if it had been.

 

Um, OK, point taken. But you would have thought Amber would have done better in that case, except most members were probably no more than 7 when it came out.

I've known Natteravn for a while now, it is huge in night clubs in Norway, at least in my town! The song remind me about alot of fun :D

 

They actually had it on Paradise Hotel Norway on Monday :lol: Yes I watch that show... :blush:

Oh, was that Amber song ACTUALLY from the 90s? :o In any case, Buzzjack doesn't particularly dig old-school pop either.

Yep, well almost. A US #1 (in the same way as I Like That was) in 2000.
