June 25, 201114 yr OUCH at New Caprica only getting 8! I didn't expect N-Lazone and Frahliso to do so badly as well :o Ugh at Isconia 16th :( Fanadminaj's 3's got to be the worst semi result in quite some time...
June 25, 201114 yr Author Guys I'm really sorry, but the final thread is going to have to wait until tomorrow afternoon or very late tonight. Real life has got in the way I'm afraid! :( Hopefully you can wait until then!
June 25, 201114 yr They tried something new, some loved it, some didn't. From what i have noticed though, it wasn't that loved. :( Apart from maybe Colouring Of Pigeons. Plus, it's really only an album track, it's not like it was a single or anything. Not as bad! Irritating for sure but at it doesn't sound quite as much like a 6 minute horrible computer malfunction as Variation Of Birds does. You're just lucky that this exists to stop it from becoming my worst song ever; cA5QJS3paAo :puke2: The sole reason why I hold 1998 in higher regard than 1999 in the battle of my two favourite years ever for music :/ Ha! It's indeed awful, but i *kind of* find the first chorus' melody anthemic. :lol:
June 25, 201114 yr Ha! It's indeed awful, but i *kind of* find the first chorus' melody anthemic. :lol: Well it is taken straight from Auld Lang Syne!
June 25, 201114 yr I've just realised/remembered that Pavel likes my two least favourite songs of all time. I seem to recall him enjoying Probka/Sastregums. Maybe just in the very VERY beginning, but certainly that supposed 'love' didn't leave the smallest trace. Dull at its best.
June 25, 201114 yr Horrid concept, overblown and puffed up as anything - but at least it's LISTENABLE! Variation of Birds just, well, isn't. Pretentious as fuck, LITERALLY painful to listen to, and no art to it at all. It exists for the sake of pushing boundaries that didn't need pushing. Yes, but I don't regard Variation of Birds as a 'song', it's just horrendous noise and sound effects to me. Cliff managed to take a reasonably decent and incredibly famous melody and slaughter it in every way imaginable. Listenable in the regard that it has an identifiable tune and lyrics, but I'd sooner stick Blazin' Squad on for a 24 hour marathon than squirm my way through that once. Work were hammering it last xmas, playing it 3 or 4 times a day - if it wasn't already my least favourite song combine that playing ad nauseum with hoardes of clueless customers that come out once a year to do a food shop and you have a frighteningly horrific scenario.
June 25, 201114 yr Well it is taken straight from Auld Lang Syne! Does anybody even know the words? :angel:

June 25, 201114 yr Caerfyrddia 15th like I predicted :( Gutted for Ghosty! Lotopialand looking like they would have made it if they'd voted too :drama:
June 25, 201114 yr Caerfyrddia 15th like I predicted :( Gutted for Ghosty! You jinxed me :P I'm gutted too, but I'm glad I only missed out by one place.
June 25, 201114 yr You jinxed me :P I'm gutted too, but I'm glad I only missed out by one place. Apologies! I'd hoped it wouldn't come at the bottom of that pack :( Evidently, I got 11/14 qualifiers in Semi 2 although Zechonia and Kluminican Republic were never write-offs so not really shocks. Danaelanda was more shocking but not an unpleasant one, I just didn't know how BJ would respond to that sort of dance. Also got 11/14 in Semi 1, in here it was Quotosibb (thought it would be borderline) and Allecian and Budtar that shocked me. Again, I'd never written those two completely off but they didn't sound like guaranteed qualifiers to me either.
June 25, 201114 yr All the countries I voted for got through. That's nice. I didn't think Beverley had much of a chance but she's done it :)
June 25, 201114 yr My non-qualifier votes: 07 // Caerfyrddia 01 // JRK-Off Also disappointed that Isconia and N-Lazone didn't get through as they were close to getting points :( In terms of predicitions, I got 12/14 for SF1, I predicted Kylienips and Lotopialand to get through, but instead Quotosibb and Eledan got through. In SF2, I got 11/14 right, but Danaelanda, FNT Nickodonia and Zechonia got through instead of JRK-Off, Greenfroze and Caerfyrddia. Edited June 25, 201114 yr by Klumzee

Ruxandra Bar - Feelings On Fire I was quite accurate, especially in semi 1 :o Swap myself for Bignia-Zaragovina and I'd have been right!
June 25, 201114 yr Hope you do better next time Liam! Its tough not getting through :( Thanks, it sure is :lol: I DNQd last time, but that was bad luck due to it being so strong. The other semi I was in (XXXII I think) I qualified just with Honey Trap, which I expected to DNQ because it was in Mandarin.
June 25, 201114 yr Third DNQ in a row! At least I wasn't THAT far off in qualifing, bring on next contest :cheer:
