July 3, 201114 yr Author I'm dropping from 1st to somewhere around 9th I reckon, that's a mauling. Had the votes not been artificially manipulated in this way it wouldn't look so bad at all. And which of those songs with any realistic chance of catching are going to appeal to us indie voters so much to catch up a massive gap to? Alexandra Stan? Wynter Gordon? Selena Gomez?
July 3, 201114 yr On the topic of voting order, if I ever had the chance to host the results, I'd either keep it in the same order as the votes had arrived, or keep all the countries who did well together at the top with the leader changing as much as possible. I still think 'Warpath' will finish top 5!
July 3, 201114 yr I'm on a roll it seems. :D Thanks for the 7 Dalisska. ^_^ At this stage of the voting, 4 of the top 5 songs are pure pop brilliance imo. The only song I wasn't that fussed with was 'Warpath'. :(
July 3, 201114 yr Thanks Nick for the 7! Sorry I was away for a bit playing online tennis on the Wii, I lost :( Won 5 games in a row earlier though!

July 3, 201114 yr Its nothing personal - changing the order of the results to make it more exciting is surely good for the contest as it makes it interesting? Unless the order received creates a runaway winner from the get go all the ups and downs can be just as interesting without building someone up and then knocking them down. It's clearly from the moment you announce that you've fiddled with the running order that the initial leader isn't going to win in the end which I don't like at all because it may make it exciting for a couple of people but you really demotivate that one person you're knocking down. I just don't like it, never have and I certainly don't like being on the receiving end of it.
July 3, 201114 yr On the voting order theme - I generate the random order and use it when announcing the results, as I did both of the times I hosted BJSC. :D It was pretty much the Charice situation in BJSC VI, except the last 5 (?) 12's were genuinely random, contrary to Tyron's opinion. :angry:

I still think 'Warpath' will finish top 5! What would you do if there was a runaway winner with about 50 points more than the nation in second place? It's always better to mix up the nations votes order. ;)
July 3, 201114 yr What would you do if there was a runaway winner with about 50 points more than the nation in second place? It's always better to mix up the nations votes order. ;) That's where you use Random.org to mix the votes so they are completely random and there is nothing intentional about the way it unfolds.

July 3, 201114 yr Shouldn't I be on 93 now, given I was on 88 before those votes and got 5 from Perseophonia.
