September 24, 201113 yr I'm going to be SO MAD if Batidas beats me, I was going to send Andre Ola but everyone said it was tragic :( When you say "everyone" is that Silas and GD? :D
September 24, 201113 yr I'm going to be SO MAD if Batidas beats me, I was going to send Andre Ola but everyone said it was tragic :( It is.
September 24, 201113 yr When you say "everyone" is that Silas and GD? :D I never told him I thought it was 'tragic', I just said that I thought the Electric Lady Lab song would make for a better entry (and that I personally preferred it!) :P Honestly though, you know I preferred your other choice personally and I think it may have performed better in the contest as well. It was on the more accessible side of indie-pop for sure and could have 'done a Veronica Maggio'. It would have been a surefire top ten anyway! I'm really unsure as to how Erase You will perform, I guess it could come top ten and I know you're resting your hopes on this being 'one for the FANZ', but something tells me that they'll be more likely to go for the likes of Velvet and Destinee and Paris if they're looking for big pop songs to vote for...we'll see!
September 24, 201113 yr Odds are getting lower and lower, I thought I had a good chance of doing well with Sticky Dough. :( I guess it's because of the massive pop influx this contest. Same happened with Ti Amo and everyone going for Romanian dance.
September 24, 201113 yr When you say "everyone" is that Silas and GD? :D Inc. me as well LOL. Actually I didn't say it's disaster but it sounds out dated and cheap.
September 24, 201113 yr Oh well. :lol: Batidas to DNQ then!!! Serves me right for thinking too much about catering for the "FANZ". :( NB; In future, cater for Batidas only. :D
September 24, 201113 yr Oh well. :lol: Batidas to DNQ then!!! Serves me right for thinking too much about catering for the "FANZ". :( NB; In future, cater for Batidas only. :D Trying to second guess the voting in BJSC is near impossible, it's a rookie mistake and one I haven't tried since I predicted my own entry in BJSCX to win, putting it at the top of my odds and making the bold statement that 'it would be a worldwide hit for Rihanna or Pussycat Dolls' :lol: It became my first DNQ in a blaze of glory and I learnt that it's impossible to try to predict who will like your entries! In the end, nearly everybody I thought would like it hated it! Ever since I've never tried to 'guess' who might vote for my entries, I just send my favourite song at the time and hope for the best. The irony is that the other song that you had in mind (I won't reveal it just in case you want to send it next month instead) would have stood out massively in this pure pop overloaded contest and I really think it would have been a top five contender! It definitely has crossover appeal.
September 24, 201113 yr Was it the one that has been on an advert? If so, I vastly preferred it too! Nope, there was a third choice too! It was a song that was more indie than anything else I guess but with as much crossover appeal as all of the big non pop winners have had.
September 26, 201113 yr Yes, it wasn't the "Heineken" song. It was the Greece Euro Digital Tracks #1 (for the last 8 weeks!!! :drama: ). Both Dandy and GD will know which song I'm referring too. :D
September 26, 201113 yr I think I do too... was it performed in Glee? Yes it was. :D The biggest clue I can give is it's #1 in my Pre-Release chart whilst 'Erase You' hasn't even appeared yet. I have priorities y'know!!! ^_^
September 26, 201113 yr Yes it was. :D The biggest clue I can give is it's #1 in my Pre-Release chart whilst 'Erase You' hasn't even appeared yet. I have priorities y'know!!! ^_^ Fair enough :lol: I actually did chart Erase You for a number of weeks now, but I haven't posted in it's own thread for MONTHS. Also I initially charted it as HI H8RS Feat. Fish (don't ask) - Forget Me :lol: Opening odds from PadisPouwer.ny coming before 7:30pm :D

September 26, 201113 yr I know it now, the Glee clue gave it away (well the Greek success as well actually!) I actually think it would've done better than Erase Me. I charted it anyway, albeit ages ago.
September 26, 201113 yr I thought From The Music would be more Buzzjack friendly..obviously I'm wrong...again :kink:
September 26, 201113 yr It's just a bit noisy and generic unfortunately. And male lead vocals don't usually work on that kind of song. LMFAO excepted.
September 26, 201113 yr It's just a bit noisy and generic unfortunately. And male lead vocals don't usually work on that kind of song. LMFAO excepted. I don't entirely agree with you on that one, as I don't think it's noisy. That sort of bass implosion type beat may be a bit dominant, but I think it's supposed to be that way to really pump things up (like on the dance floor!). And I think the male vocal fits perfectly here just like it does in Save the world by Swedish House Mafia for instance. A woman singing it would've been off putting in my ears.
September 26, 201113 yr 14/1 Espen: Melissa Horn- Jag saknar dig mindre och mindre I could live with that! :P
September 26, 201113 yr Yes it was. :D The biggest clue I can give is it's #1 in my Pre-Release chart whilst 'Erase You' hasn't even appeared yet. I have priorities y'know!!! ^_^ I honestly think that choice may have been vetoed. Maybe anyway. I'm still charting it over six months later. The itunes session version is a gem.
