January 28, 201213 yr Lord, I already know so many of these! In particular SHAME on Vojvodina for a deeply uninspired choice. Also, you've got my link wrong Freeze! :P Right-click and copy the link from http://soundcloud.com/tyronwilson/lena-ph-...-tomorrow-sthlm. Good effort otherwise though! That's a bit RICH my dear, but it wasn't my first choice, that would have been SoSo.
January 28, 201213 yr Nearly finished with Semi 1, in my view there's quite a lot of good but not much fantastic quality wise. (I'm excluding my own entry of course :wub:)
January 28, 201213 yr That's a bit RICH my dear, but it wasn't my first choice, that would have been SoSo. Darling, Lena hasn't been used before and I'd willingly bet the majority of participants in this haven't even HEARD of her, or would barely remember her at best. Compare that with Le Kid's twentieth entry.
January 28, 201213 yr How did Le Kid not get vetoed is beyond me, I've seen them on quite a few personal charts as well -_-
January 28, 201213 yr Oh yeah - what are Greenfroze sending? There's a clip of their entry right at the end of the Semi 2 recap. Belanova - Mariposas is the name. Sorry John. Although I'll be the first to admit SoSo isn't exactly the most revolutionary entry, but it was easily the best song I had to choose from. I know a surprising amount of the entries already - that Radio Killer song has been around for ages! And is nowhere near as good as 'Lonely Heart' sadly - so deciding on points to the entries I already like will be tricky. Excited for my first contest though!
January 28, 201213 yr How did Le Kid not get vetoed is beyond me, I've seen them on quite a few personal charts as well -_- Which is why the vetoing is upto the mods. Le Kid, as insanely uninspired as it may be, is not actually veto worthy as outside the Scandiloons and Denmark nobody cares about them and not to mention their last entry flopped big time. We decided that they were not a threat or particularly in violation of the spirit of the contest which is what the veto is about. The veto is used to influence people into being more inspired and where people can't self-govern it's used to cull out the Silly Boy's/Hollywood's that took a lot of the fun and spirit out of the contest pre-veto. It's not supposed to cut anything even slightly uninspired, it's supposed to ensure that people don't enter something massively hyped and basically the next big thing. As much as I adore Le Kid, they can't even make it in Sweden.
January 28, 201213 yr Author I'm implementing myself when after the music video recap for semi final 1 is finished processing :D I like almost EVERY song in this contest it's almost unbearable, as how am I ever going to be able to vote :drama:

January 28, 201213 yr Author Easy! 12 for Ashton :magic: then random.org the rest :kink: Good idea! :heehee: No need to worry about anything else. I shall do that. I mean it :o No, I don't :kink:
January 28, 201213 yr Author Damnit the recap video for semi final 1 didn't work the way it's supposed to! :( Numayania and Dalisska has no sound, and Hendinia and Daehun are too loud, among others. *sigh* Let's give it some tweaking, and try again! Oh and btw; does anybody know how to zip folders and upload them? I've tried, but it fails to upload everytime :drama:
January 28, 201213 yr Author Rules and information, voting list and host nation Greenfroze added to the opening post. Also, I managed to finish the music video recap of semi final 1, so please go check it out if you like :wub: Edited January 28, 201213 yr by Freeze
January 28, 201213 yr I knew that I wasn't the only one after C.R. Japsen :lol:...amazing pop song, I hope it does well for Ramrynia. However, I am glad I pulled out the e-mail with my hidden treasures :D and sent Ria Ritchie in the end. Seems like it will be a discovery for most of the contestants, well except Eyes.
January 28, 201213 yr However, I am glad I pulled out the e-mail with my hidden treasures :D and sent Ria Ritchie in the end. Seems like it will be a discovery for most of the contestants, well except Eyes. And I just randomly came across it on Youtube a while back, so I really wasn't expecting to see it here. Nice it is though, I hope it qualifies, she has a lovely voice. Saying that, should get listening to the rest of semi 1.
January 28, 201213 yr There's NO WAY these Semis are balanced. I was thrown into the POP ORGY. Nobody will even listen to my song in full. :( From the recap I only like (>6/10) four songs. I'm not even joking. The quality of songs this month is f***ing awful. Tusind tak for using the vocal part of my song though <3

As much as I adore Le Kid, they can't even make it in Sweden. True, although I must admit I was initally for banning Le Kid, because they have been in the contest about, what, seven times now? :lol: I don't know what Sweden don't like about them tbh. But I suppose, as the French say, they are "le plus Danoises des Suedoises". Just checking out my semi (so to speak :lol:) Looks like a good one, nice to be in such exhaulted company as Ashton, PRoJ, Batidas and, erm, Daehun :kink:

Oh and btw; does anybody know how to zip folders and upload them? I've tried, but it fails to upload everytime :drama: What software are you using to make your recap videos? I just used Windows Movie Maker but then to get around "copyright" I didn't actually use music video footage but a screenshot from the video where possible and added sound myself. I usually upload Zip files to mediafire.

Tusind tak for using the vocal part of my song though <3 I think the semis are balanced enough in accordance to what's possible in here. Were you thinking when it comes to songs or countries? Most people send pop, so I guess there will always be more pop overall. And glad you liked your part! I didn't listen to the whole ting, but I skimmed through a lot of it, and found that part to be the best part ^_^ What software are you using to make your recap videos? I just used Windows Movie Maker but then to get around "copyright" I didn't actually use music video footage but a screenshot from the video where possible and added sound myself. I usually upload Zip files to mediafire. I'm using Pinnacle Studio 12, it is a rather decent video editing software, it just takes a while to process on my computer :drama: Well, I could always make the link private, to hide it from everyone but us. Mediafire is my preferred uploading website as well, but it didn't work for this :drama: Although I did manage to upload it to 2shared. It just takes a while to download from there as the file is 180MB AFTER zipping! That must be wrong right? :( Edited January 28, 201213 yr by Freeze
January 28, 201213 yr Well, I just watched the SF1 video recap and Eledan's entry sure stands out. :D

I know in my case, I had to get an updated version of Internet Explorer as I was having trouble at first. It works fine for me now though.
