August 29, 201113 yr Author If by some fluke Ashton does win, I will be auto-qualifying for XXXVIII.ย :lol: But what about the new 'tradition'!?!
August 29, 201113 yr He's fully within his rights to claim two unearned spaces in the final if he so wishes, it is after all not a solid rule! It's only that most of the hosts to date have agreed with me that autoqualification for two countries when there are even numbers flies in the face of merit, that's all.

It's only that most of the hosts to date have agreed with me that autoqualification for two countries when there are even numbers flies in the face of merit, that's all.ย Oddly I was pleased when the numbers for the semis came in as even so that I didn't have to auto-qualify last month, being the only unknown quantity in a final can be a bit of a hindrance when every song that's qualified already has a fanbase of sorts. Obviously if you've got an instant song then it's no problem but Over You wasn't particularly and I was relieved that it would have exposure before the final.

Odds on Herzebania's Sistar suggest it could be the biggest K-pop hit in the contest since BaNG reached #11 with BoA way back in XIII, though some think this is more a case of most asian pop fans being in the same semi. Either way Ojnoj and Isconia look like rounding off the top 10, with PRoJ also in contention.
August 30, 201113 yr I still like Tom's odds significantly more than anybody elses - though, with him entering Gravitonas before, I shouldn't be surprised :kink:
August 30, 201113 yr Author Kopecka/Hendinia/Farahtyn and a few other countries getting some wildly varying odds this month, shows where personal opinion of a song comes into play in making odds I suppose. ย From what I've seen over the years, the songs that appear high up in all of them tend to do best in the contest, whereas songs that appear really high in just one or two sets but mid-table everywhere else can usually expect to be on course for high points from the people that put them high! Likewise, with songs that appear high in nearly all sets but really low in one or two sets - don't expect any points from those countries! :lol:ย Kopecka and Farahtyn practically swapped places in the top 3/bottom 10 in Ghosty/Tom's odds!
August 30, 201113 yr Kopecka/Hendinia/Farahtyn and a few other countries getting some wildly varying odds this month, shows where personal opinion comes into play in making odds I suppose. Yeah, I kinda expected Tom to like the song by Gravitonas (not just because he's sent them before, because I'm not a huge fan of the Linda Teodosiu song, and I've sent her before). I hate being middle table, you get missed out on all predictas :lol: :cry:
August 30, 201113 yr I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming! I'm coming, Im almost there!ย FTW! :cheer: I'm coming! Hang in there!

I hate being middle table, you get missed out on all predictas :lol: :cry:ย I find it quite funny that Jody's predictions are basically either top five or bust (I predict that it will get decent points from Eyes and Tom and nothing from Ghosty based on their odds but we shall see!) so I'm playing safe with my 8th-12th prediction! ย I think the only time I EVER gave one of my recycled artists 12 points was The Sound of Arrows' Into The Clouds. Usually I'm nowhere near as interested in artists' new songs than those that I sent and often don't give them any points at all. So few artists that have topped my chart manage to do it again with the next single - I can only think of Kylie, Sheelah and Ed Sheeran from the past few years, I don't loon/have loyalty to any artists really (apart from Delta, a long time ago!), everything's judged on a song to song basis.
August 30, 201113 yr So it seems either Top or Bottom 10 is calling out for me! Haha. I'd prefer the former please :P

If Jody finishes in the top 10, I will lose faith in this contest forever! It's almost a Tyrren parody!ย Plus I agree regarding the artist loyalty thing. I'm exactly the same and judge them on a track by track basis, all the Robyn tracks reached #1 on merit alone! :D
