June 27, 201114 yr I'd be happy with 'Come With Me' winning, but I can't help thinking that because Herzebania had control over when the confirmation thread opens, and therefore automatically confirming first, that they've (kind of) had an unfair advantage into getting 'Come With Me' and potentially winning twice in a row, as I assume Peter knew that it was very hyped up.

I did know that it was very hyped up, and it is an advantage being the one to open the confirmation thread. But this has always been the case and the host always has and always will pretty much have first pick should they so desire. Gotta have some perks to the job :P
June 27, 201114 yr Peter might have, but personally I had never heard the track before confirmation, even though I was probably as close as this forum got to a Mini Viva stan :lol:
June 27, 201114 yr Author Where on earth did you hear about the track and all the hype Peter? Must be all those blogs you follow religiously! :P Peter may have had the advantage of being able to confirm first but there's never any guarantee that it's a winner he's got first dibs on. Only two countries have won the contest they've hosted - Mdice, and I don't know if Ben confirmed VV Brown the moment he opened confirmation, and me - and I'm pretty sure Sadness Is A Blessing wasn't being hyped anywhere - a lot of critics/fans were calling it out as the weak link on the album! I'm guessing Lykke didn't agree seeing as she later picked it out as the second single :lol: Getting hold of the latest hyped track is just as much as a poisoned chalice as it is a blessing, the level of resentment there is about Silly Boy and Hollywood being winners is huge and they both won by a landslide. But then other songs in the past have completely failed to live up to the hype - Opium, Headhunted, Say It, Never Leave You, America etc...so nothing's ever a foregone conclusion, certainly not in the days of the mod veto and the back of cheapness.

June 27, 201114 yr Author That is astoundingly low odds for Come With Me Hits :o Considering the amount of people that either tried to confirm it, or have already entered it in their personal charts, I'd be seriously shocked not to see it top five at least. On a side note, it's really nice to see more people doing the odds/predictas this month and the increase in discussion, I know I'm not a mod in here anymore but I still like to try and boost the activity in the forum if I can - usually to no avail it has to be said but since all of the new countries have come in there seems to be a lot more going on in here in general.
June 27, 201114 yr Well to be fair I have slashed the odds for 'Come With Me'. I thought 16/1 was being generous. :( I just can't get into the song at all but it does seem to be popular with a few posters. However, I'm also thinking of the indie voters and those who keep a low profile - will they be as willing to give "diluted Robyn" their points?

However, I'm also thinking of the indie voters and those who keep a low profile - will they be as willing to give "diluted Robyn" their points? What else is on offer for indie lovers? I can only see the following having indie appeal and even some of these are questionable; FSR Rontvia: Chart Music - All My Life Batidas: Brooke Fraser - Something In The Water Numayania: Katzenwaffe Feat. Melie - Bring Me Light Ojnoj: Misty Miller - Remember Utopia: Best Coast - Crazy For You BaNG: Sharam feat. Anousheh Khalili - Fun Zechonia: Heather Nova - Higher Ground Dalisska: The Toxic Avenger feat. Annie - Alien Summer Eledan: The Irrepressibles - In This Shirt Letland: Capital Cities - Safe and Sound Britt Love will definitely get points from some of the 'indie bloc' I think, if only for the production! A lot of the decent indie-friendly stuff went crashing out in the semis which further proves my point that pure pop is set to be massively dominant this month. As it stands, Utopia and Eledan could well be raking in a lot of 12s and 10s.

June 27, 201114 yr Author Annie's incredibly indie friendly for a Scandinavian pop artist, probably second only to Robyn in fact :o
June 27, 201114 yr I really don't see the appeal for Britt Love either. :( Nice to see some good odds for my entry, which i'm pleasantly surprised about! ^_^
June 27, 201114 yr You may all be SHOCKED by this, but I too do not understand the hype for Britt Love at all. Give me Kristine anyday. #failnuashtonloon
June 27, 201114 yr Author You may all be SHOCKED by this, but I too do not understand the hype for Britt Love at all. Give me Kristine anyday. #failnuashtonloon Phil will be ecstatic to receive your 10! I trust Kopecka are still on lock for 12? Seeing as Whiplash is the least hyped Kopecka entry in literally years (or at least since Michelle), it's time to HYPE IT UP! Where's Tombliboo when you need him? 'The Hype' [http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=89211) is surely in need of a resurrection?

'The Hype' (http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=89211&st=0) is surely in need of a resurrection? I'm not a humungous fan of Whiplash tbh :( Tyron DEFINITLEY should have gone with 'Love You Like A Long Song'. That said, I can't confirm or deny whether Kopecka will receive points, apart from the odd few amazing songs this contest is all a bit MEH

That said, I can't confirm or deny whether Kopecka will receive points, apart from the odd few amazing songs this contest is all a bit MEH You seem to be hating on everything JamesP :( Next month we'll all be fighting over Take That to secure your 12 :cheer: When We Were Young or Beautiful? Granted once it got to my 2 pointer I was struggling a bit, which I don't usually, BUT I pretty much love my top 8 - overall the quality is down but my favourites I like more than my favourites from last month I think. Usually only 3 or 4 BJSC entries crack my chart, this month I think maybe 10 or 11 will when all is said and done :o Plus, I'd have LOVED all of my top ten and more if a truckload of my favourites hadn't crashed out in the semis :(
