Well Getter was my favourite entry of all last year, so they will have to come up with something outstanding to top that!

True, but so glad to see Mimicry back, The Storm was :wub: (ignoring the fact that I sent it to UP and it cam last with nul points :nocheer:)

I've listened to all 20 of these now and like five of them (:nocheer:) - so for those with similar music tastes to me, check out these;

 

Bon Voyage – Mia feat I.M.T.B

Fight for Love – Janne Saar

Mina jään – Lenna

The Destination – Mimicry

You're Not Alone – Birgit Õigemeel

I listened to them all the other day too, and noted down 7 of them to download - All those 5 plus Soundclear's A Little Soldier and Cat Eye's Ride. I was actually pretty impressed with the lineup overall though!

You're Not Alone is probably my favourite, not that I see it coming anywhere close to winning this NF, and it probably wouldn't do very well at Eurovision either :lol:

 

The strings are the highlight of course, the song proves that they work just as well in uptempo pop songs as they do in ballads :wub:

Did it really? :o Shame I hadn't been participating in that one as I'd have prevented it from such shame, it hardly deserved nul points!

Yep :( It was my second contest, I came top 10 in my first with tweetastic Swedish indie-pop song Flowers by Frida (no not the one from ABBA). Having listened to most of these now, The Destination is my fav but Birgit is brill too, good to see Violina back, even if they haven't topped Maagiline Päev for me yet...

That's unbelievable, was it the first nul pointer ever in UP? I thought Ghosty took part in that one, if so I'm shocked that he gave it nothing :o

 

I still can't believe we've never had a nul pointer in BJSC, thanks to Pavel who'll vote for literally any old crap (that means you Martina!)

Yep. First and only :ph34r: But I don't think Ghosty was in at the time either.

Oops :lol: I guess indie forum + Eurovision (with the exception of Pavel) doesn't really mix but it's hardly that cheesy a song. Pretty sure I saw it in Ghosty's chart last year so I'm sure he would have voted for it had he been participating!

 

I hope my UP entry this time does better than my bottom five debut SMASH but I won't hold my breath!

I'm sure I voted for Mimicry! I've participated in all the Unknown Pleasures and I most certainly would have voted for Mimicry, unless I made a mistake! :unsure:

Did Tom make it to vote in time?

Yep, I definitely voted! I'm fairly sure it was a nul pointer, but it could have got one or two actually.

 

Does no-one else like I Don't Know then? It's like David Guetta producing Glee...

 

The production is alright but I'm not keen on the vocals and the hook seems a little limp.

Hmmm, I suppose your're right. I really like Rich and Martin's suggestions, apart from Mia which just sounds like a cold mess. A few people are accusing Birgit of plagarism of The Killers' Human, but I really don't hear it...

I think I'm liking Mia more based on a previous song of hers that I loved, but I have to say I was quite disappointed by this new track of hers - it's good, but I was expecting it to be a whole lot better!

 

As far as Pop Maniacs goes, I find it really hard to listen to, the melody is a bit all over the place and the vocals are pretty weak :(

Bon Voyage was the best out of all these songs. I also loved Janne Saar. Unfortunately both of them were out in first week. Now I cheer for Birgit.
