July 25, 201113 yr Headhunted DID DNQ! :P Robots In Love: ttH4Rd8djPM I even saw it with my own eyes, someone directed me to the thread once for some reason, still seriously unbelievable :o RIL is very good, I'd probably place it in between SIAB and TLT.
July 25, 201113 yr When I first heard it I knew I'd struck absolute pop gold. It's such a charming pop song, gorgeous - cutesy but not too twee that it's ever in danger of being vomit inducing. Sort of pulls on the same heartstrings as some Robyn songs do, yet without sounding anything at all like a Robyn song. There's nothing better than discovering that one song - I discover a load of great songs every month but every 6 contests or so I discover an incredible song, and that's the whole point of competing. Through FNT Nickodonia sending Leddra Chapman's Story, I discovered one of my favourite songs of 2010 + my 2nd favourite album of 2010 + Ed Sheeran a year and a half before anybody else because they work together a lot and I enjoyed what I heard so I 'like'd him on Facebook wayyyyy back then. Strange the effect that one song can have on leading to other discoveries! How did you discover Robots In Love anyway? I always find it strange how people stumble upon random non-entities who just have literally the BEST songs ever. And it always seems to be you. Seriously, have Beautiful Small Machines even had a Top 100,000 hit anywhere?! :P The worst thing is, I very rarely do that. Take BSM for example. Robots In Love was the extent of my love-in with them, I highly doubt I'll EVER hear another song by them because something tells me there will never in a million years be anything else worth listening to by them because they'd probably be snapped up by some record label if they had even 2 or 3 BJSC winning quality (I.e. Fairly broad appeal) songs. :(
July 26, 201113 yr On an unrelated note, 'Bear Hug' = NU 'Britney' :lol: OOH, SOMEONE MENTIONED MY ENTRY What exactly do you mean by that? Is that a bad thing? :(
July 26, 201113 yr For the record, I DEFINITELY DEFINITELY AM voting this round. Got the deadline noted down in my nonexistant diary. :magic:

My entries come from a range of places but I rarely actively go out searching for them - as part of my routine music searches each week I look at about 10 blogs, various international iTunes charts and all sorts of other things and this is where the unknown songs all sort of pop up from. I've heard a few more of their songs and there are a couple of 'good' ones but indeed nothing comes close to the standard of Robots In Love.

July 26, 201113 yr Author Decent odds from Numayania :cheer: I'm intrigued as to how the results will turn out, although I can sort of envisage Ti Amo as a winner, no song like that has ever gone top 3 before plus there are a LOT of other dance entries for it to compete with, which may eat up some of its points. That said, it was at the top of my odds too :lol: But I really wouldn't be surprised to see one of the pop or electro songs come out on top, or indeed Isconia's entry.
July 26, 201113 yr OOH, SOMEONE MENTIONED MY ENTRY What exactly do you mean by that? Is that a bad thing? :( Yes.
July 26, 201113 yr Awww, I love Bear Hug :( Decent odds from Numayania :cheer: I'm intrigued as to how the results will turn out, although I can sort of envisage Ti Amo as a winner, no song like that has ever gone top 3 before plus there are a LOT of other dance entries for it to compete with, which may eat up some of its points.

True, but there was a lot of hype around it, and there was some fighting for it too I understand? Funny you mention Video Games, that was the same I think, but I think that has less universal appeal. I think it will be pretty close amongst my top 5 here...

Funny you mention Video Games, that was the same I think, but I think that has less universal appeal. I think it will be pretty close amongst my top 5 here... There was, but generally the 'fought over' entries seem to underperform for some strange reason, take Britt Love from last month for example, about 5 or 6 people wanted to confirm that and in the end it only just made the top ten.
July 26, 201113 yr 1st, 2nd, 1st :o It's weird to hear my entry being talked about :lol: And even if it does 'underperform' and goes top 10, I'd still be very pleased :D I should have my odds, predictions and votes coming in either today or tomorrow ^_^
July 26, 201113 yr I'm feeling positive about this contest, I can see something lower down in the odds winning but I usually do around about what I'm expected to in the odds, so I'm hoping for a new peak (above 8th!), which I think should be plausible! New peak for Kluminican Republic for sure too, and Ojnoj could potentially match their peak! I have a feeling Fljótavík are in for a new peak too, in just their 2nd contest!
July 26, 201113 yr Yes. That only answers my second question. I don't see any connection between 'Britney' and Bear Hug.
July 26, 201113 yr That only answers my second question. I don't see any connection between 'Britney' and Bear Hug. People who participate in Unknown Pleasures do. Join UP next time and you'll know :D

Just Top 10 would do nicely for me. Especially after last month's underperformance.

July 26, 201113 yr 150/1 for Frida seems a bit long, especially that it's perceived quite well in the BJSC community, featuring in some charts, etc.
July 26, 201113 yr Author 150/1 Espen: Frida Gold - Wovon sollen wir träumen Seems rather harsh for such an excellent song!
