May 22, 201114 yr No no, she's just being Katy Perry this time :lol: Kelly Clarkson was her debut track, Lonely, which was entered by Nonsuch and finished 2nd in XI (11 points behind the really quite cloying The Show by Lenka. Why on EARTH did I give that a 12?!), generic electropop was her track Help Me Out, which I entered into XXIV and finished 6th with. Oh, thanks for the info. I'm still very intrigued!
May 22, 201114 yr Dalisska has recycled Kimbra this edition. :lol: However I'm really loving Kimbra so it's ok. :wub: Other artists Dalisska has recycled: BWO Killabite (although I didn't know it when I was entering it because they changed their name) So 3 in total, pretty good really. :)
May 22, 201114 yr Ashton really are the worst at artist recycling. :drama: He did, Nonsuch were definitely one of the most reliable hit-making nations - all the more surprising considering some of his predictions and tracks that he claimed to think were winners which then crashed in the semis. See I love that Nerina song but that prediction was about as likely to come true as me winning the lottery jackpot three times in a row - if ever there's an artist guaranteed to flop with everything she touches, it's sadly Nerina. He also predicted that Non Ti Aspettavo would do very very well before it utterly died in the semi's [Although it did actually deserve to do very well]
May 22, 201114 yr That was the bizarre one he predicted as a winner, wasn't it? :lol: It was nice but there was no way in hell that was winning in a contest with the likes of Robots In Love, Now I'm That Bitch and Crazy Possessive...

Oh yes, easily the most bizarre. I thought it would have deserved top10 but there was no way it was going to win the entire thing. It was too male and Italian :lol:
May 23, 201114 yr Oh god, someone's sent Manian again?! It better not be another Basshunter rehash, I was OUTRAGED when that made it into the final over Dead Disco in XVI. I remember that :kink: I was SO new with all things BJSC and everything related to what was unknown to most and how to search for true discoveries etc, so I honestly thought it was inspired -_- but I think I've come a long way since my debut though ^_^ Oh and for the record; I've recycled two acts. Aly & AJ (:drama:) and Donkeyboy :D Sometimes really needed to be sent! And I was truly outraged when it didn't qualify back in XXII, but winning The Rejects made up for it by proving it's worth :wub: Other countries have recycled two of my artists. Letland sent Anine Stang in XXXII and now Kluminican Republic with Manian.
May 23, 201114 yr This is Keri Hilsons what, 29th appearance? I didn't really want to enter Keri Hilson, I thought my other confirmation would have been accepted as it didn't have too many Youtube hits. This was very much a "back up I doubt I'll need" confirmation. Oops. :(
May 23, 201114 yr Herzebania's link was taken down, I updated it with this one, can you check this is the full version please? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwMdawVPjQ8 Zechonia's video doesn't work in the UK either, though it might work for some. Here it is on Vimeo: http://vimeo.com/20369543
May 23, 201114 yr Yes, I do know Letland's entry is one of the most uninspired EVER! I did think it would be vetoed, fairly surprised it wasn't, but I entered it anyway because I didn't knew the song yet and fell in love with it straight away! As I was still looking for a track, Le Kid were just there and I couldn't resist! Apologies for that! I'll try to be more original next time around. Either way, I do love "America" and hopefully it'll get Letland out of the semis after Sveta put us there... :cry:

May 23, 201114 yr Herzebania's link is now on Hendinia's place! Argh, thank you. I'm glad that you spotted it, I shouldn't do this stuff so early in the morning :rolleyes:
May 23, 201114 yr Your indie kid street cred just took a huge knock - as if loving Eurovision wasn't bad enough, you're now saying that a pop/dance track from Belgium's Idol is your favourite song? Somehow I don't think you're going to get your votes from the usual countries you do this month :lol: Welcome back to the dark (pop) side :cheer: <3 I'm just SO SLOW with new music atm apart from Bon Iver's incredible new album because of my graduation work that is due may 27th. :( I am gutted. :cry: I really didn't see that you also considered it :o :o He has ditched the indie scene for some wank of a song. We're heading for divorce. :( Don't forget you started it when i didn't win BJFestivalen because of you, you ghetto ass witch. :angry:
May 23, 201114 yr With the exception of Vampire Weekend who weren't exactly a discovery anyway my only entries coming close to success were recycled (Jónsi and Spark had both been entered before and Beth Ditto had been sent as part of Gossip). So of course it follows that Beat Connection will fail miserably. That's pretty much my fault for not even attempting to send something BJSC-friendly though.
May 23, 201114 yr Don't forget you started it when i didn't win BJFestivalen because of you, you ghetto ass witch. :angry: Please forgive me for giving you TEN POINTS. :angry: You must be going through a phase. It's the only explanation for the strain on Eledan-Espen relations. :( Edited May 23, 201114 yr by Cal
May 23, 201114 yr Non-spinoff recycles: Natasha Bedingfield - I Bruise Easily (artist originally entered by FSR Rontvia) Shakira - Loba (artist originally entered by Mdice) Tiësto ft. Kele Okereke - It's Not The Things You Say (Tiesto originally entered by Mdice) The Knife - Variation Of Birds (artist originally entered by BaNG) Crystal Castles - Suffocation (artist originally entered by BaNG) Serebro - Давай Держаться За Руки (artist originally entered by Frahliso and whored by Tyron, Tom Kay, Cal and myself) Not many. Jonsi, tATu and Adele which i originally entered were recycled.
May 23, 201114 yr I always forget that I sent a Natasha Bedingfield song once :lol: I maintain that Stumble is gorgeous and deserved far higher than 18th, but hey ho, it couldn't compete with the hugely inspired Bittersweet Symphony, Just Like A Pill and Murder On The Dancefloor :/
May 23, 201114 yr Please forgive me for giving you TEN POINTS. :angry: You must be going through a phase. It's the only explanation for the strain on Eledan-Espen relations. :( TEN POINTS ISN'T ENOUGH Y'KNOW. It's like an insult. :( *checks* PHEW I still like this: qb7hRZyT6SE So i'm alright.
