January 30, 201213 yr Luckily the song's in the semi where it has two guaranteed HUGE fans, I'm sure it can rack up another 15-20 points needed to qualify from the remaining 22 voting countries! Assuming I'm thinking of the same song as you that is :lol: I'm pretty sure which song you mean, and it actually wasn't the one I meant - but only because I'd already discovered it before this week, it's still assured a hefty amount of points from me! :lol:
January 30, 201213 yr Happy with the odds so far! ^_^ Although I do seem to be falling into the habit of sending Scandinavians with guitars. It's a good formula though. :heehee:
January 30, 201213 yr The one thing I hate more than know it all busy bodies, is people who say 'oooooh I just hope I qualify' when the song is quite CLEARLY a cert for top5. Fucking annoying. THIS. (No offence Ryan :P) EXACTLY what I've been dying to say! (again, no offence Ryan, just try and cut it down :P) :lol: No offence taken :D I'm still in the mindset that it's not really that different to Demi and Katie (in a strange way) as it is still pop except being a bit more mainstream, so I'm seriously shocked to have what looks to be a good chance at doing well and getting top 5 as you say - but I'll happily take it! I'll stop going on in future starting now! ;)
January 30, 201213 yr The one thing I hate more than know it all busy bodies, is people who say 'oooooh I just hope I qualify' when the song is quite CLEARLY a cert for top5. Fucking annoying. BJSC has always been the home of modesty, Nonsuch, Simondly and Kingdom of Shadow perfected the trait of underplaying their entries, often to the point that you wondered if they were bluffing. I don't find it annoying as such but if you genuinely believe that your entry has a great shot at doing well then I don't believe that there's any shame in admitting it. I often plop my song into the business end of the odds if I believe that it has a chance of going top five! Obviously some months I'll send something with a glass ceiling of crossover appeal just for the sake of variety or introducing something to a select few who like a niche genre (Caro Emerald, Markoolio and Linda, Elsiane) and in those cases I adjust accordingly and put myself mid-table or lower...Aside from a few cases (Headhunted, Not A Love Song) I'm never that far out with my own predictions of my own entries and their eventual finishing positions.

I don't find it annoying as such but if you genuinely believe that your entry has a great shot at doing well then I don't believe that there's any shame in admitting it. Well, I remember putting 'Riverside' comfortably inside my top 5 nations to win BJSC when I made my debut. I was convinced 'Punk Rock Song' was going to win but deep down inside I wanted Agnes to win purely because I adored the song so much. I still didn't think I'd win but be a top 5 contender. Winning was both brilliant but also a shock. It's difficult to explain how you feel when you win something like this with a song you personally love so much. That's what made me laugh about Peter30 when 'Louder' won the BJSC I hosted, and he said the song didn't deserve to win compared to 'Release Me'. :lol: When someone wins and the first thing they post is "it isn't deserved compared to my last winner" it generates a :D moment.

I can appreciate the feeling, it's a sense of pride combined with elation that a lot of people have made a fantastic discovery purely thanks to you. Which is why I could never understand people sending 'cheap' songs, for me BJSC is about discovering great new music and introducing people to great new music, not sending any old song to see how high I can finish. Each to their own but I don't think I'd feel any sense of pride or elation in finishing top three with some new leak by one of the world's biggest stars :lol: Peter's always been brutally honest but I can see where he was coming from. Release Me was a landmark winner, Louder was the most forgettable of 2011. Sometimes other people just end up liking your entry more than you do!

January 31, 201213 yr I'm worrying now, pretty sure the last time I got odds like this was with Breanne Duren. Not a good omen.
January 31, 201213 yr Freeze, if the odds are correct about Tinnmark, you can look farward for a great results for Greenfroze :lol: For your information, The Tinnmark Project 2012 isn't fully developed. We are just running a BETA test :P

January 31, 201213 yr Brilliant odds again for Carly! :D And it seems to be the same ones at the top, but with a couple of others there too such as Seyetana and Batidas :)
January 31, 201213 yr I think the decimal form makes it more confusing. Odds can go below 1 if they are more likely to happen than not. It does still make sense though! I'm into single figures now! :D Lovely. :wub:
January 31, 201213 yr Loving the odds from Bwci-Fyrddin :D My best odds so far at 4/1 but I still have a gut feeling Numayania and Ashton will perform better in the final (oh dear, I'm posting this as if we've already qualified :drama: )
