April 21, 201213 yr Just because it's CLASSY and ELEGANT (the way pop SHOULD BE) and not THE SATURDAYS doesn't mean Ghosts isn't a pop song. Pop isn't only half-naked females singing cheesy dance songs, with lyrics written by a sex-obsessed 15-year old, containing one dubstep breakdown PER SQUARE INCH, YOU KNOW. :(
April 21, 201213 yr Basically Ryan is saying my track is THE BEST so shove it Pav. :D No, he isn't :D This is just the predicta thread. Being predicting to win =/= THE BEST :kink:

Pop isn't only half-naked females singing cheesy dance songs, with lyrics written by a sex-obsessed 15-year old, containing one dubstep breakdown PER SQUARE INCH, YOU KNOW. :( Absolutely not, but I think "pop" in this contest is defined as you describe purely because that's what the majority of entries tend towards, so you have to differentiate between the different classes somehow. LET ME HAVE MY MOMENT PAVEL. People have been predicting you to win all week. :angry:
April 21, 201213 yr I didn't ask them to predict me to win. I never expected that when I entered iamamiwhoami. As I never expected to win with Lenka or Tatu in distant 1980 - the year the Irish Johnny Logan wooooon 2008! :drama: IT'S MY TIME IT'S MY TIIIIIIIME. Edited April 21, 201213 yr by Caïn

People have been predicting you to win all week. :angry: I suppose when I think pop in BJSC, I think dance-pop or scandi-pop like my entry, Hendinia, Scherzland etc. Anyway, never mind! :lol:
April 21, 201213 yr Ooooh someone predicted me top10! Thank you! I didn't really expect Nause to qualify, so anything from here on out is a bonus. I've never sent an instrumental track, but I've wanted to for a while now so I'm glad I stumbled across this to allow me to do that.

April 26, 201213 yr Yeah, my top 10 was pretty much the OPPOSITE of what happened! :drama: That again for Q7! I should have predicted Zechonia higher, although I would have never put them as high as 5th! Next time I'll win again. :D
