July 7, 201213 yr Author Voted by myself now. It was a pain seeing my own entry falling place-by-place with every new score being added. :lol: I'd say this contest has quite a bit more filler but there are also more stand-outs. That's what you get when you have so many players I guess. And also. Judging by the way the current votes go, Semi 1 is going to be a bloodbath while the results of Semi 2 will be more "clear".
July 7, 201213 yr 14 people voted so far, after 8 votes in SF1 and 6 votes in SF2 we have every song in SF1 getting at least a point and 5 songs with null points in SF2. :( Well it's good to know that, given the odds I've been given so far, I won't be going home empty handed. On a side note : I think I've voted for quite a few countries I hadn't voted for before whilst countries I'd normally vote for didn't get points from me. In other words : this contest is weird.

July 7, 201213 yr Voted! Whilst it started out really weak, this actually turned out to be quite a strong semi, and I loved my top 4. Obviously it paled in comparison to last contest, but I wasn't really expecting anything different. I'm seriously worried that null points will be my final score :(
July 7, 201213 yr I have listened to everything in semi final 1 now, and there are definitely a lot of indie fluff this time around, but not in such a good fashion as I had hoped. I use a four coulur rating system (Red, blue, orange and green - where green is the best) in addition to a 1-10 grading system and I don't think I've ever given this many entries a red colour (and 6 or below) before on my first impressions of a semi - but on the other hand I doubt I'll struggle to find my top 10. There are enough songs I really like too! :D Skall and Fljótavík positively surprised and impressed me, but other than that (and without revealing too much!) I am not feeling at all impressed overall. I hope semi final 2 has more GEMS in it! Edited July 7, 201213 yr by Freeze
July 7, 201213 yr Semi 2 isn't exactly all that either on first listen, I've only rated one song 9/10 or higher with four songs in the semi left to listen to (listening in a random order), not exactly anticipating Semi 1 from Freeze's review, average indie isn't exactly my bag...
July 7, 201213 yr Semi 1 IMO seems to have a fair few 'good' songs, a handful of DIRE songs and the rest is just average.

Awww, that doesn't exactly set my hopes alight either from what you just said :( It's strange because I rarely rate songs below 6 or as a red colour, but this time around 1/3 came into this category, unfortunately :drama:
July 7, 201213 yr Batidas are gonna bomb aren't they? :( I looked through the SF1 countries and picked out those I thought might be most likely to like Oceana and thought 'Endless Summer' would get enough points to be something like 10th overall, then get some booster points from others in SF2. It's all falling apart. I blame Pavel. Don't listen to that. :angry: :cry:
July 7, 201213 yr Semi 1 is fairly badly balanced, some amazingness and some absolute shite but with very little in between.
July 7, 201213 yr If Batidas bomb I'll be ashamed of you all. When I realised it was the song from Euro 2012 I was so annoyed I never thought to send it. It's amazing. :wub: Edited July 7, 201213 yr by Umi
July 7, 201213 yr Had my first listen to semi I earlier and I think I'm going to be struggling to choose 10 tracks. Quite a few seemed to merge into one another. There were a couple that stood out though, together with one I knew prior to the contest. Talking of tracks being known prior to the contest, I have literally no idea how well to score Medevac.
July 7, 201213 yr Not my fault you send DNQ material. I'd say D E N A is DNQ material. Sadly about 4 people have admitted to liking it so who knows. :D
July 7, 201213 yr (I quite like D E N A) QUITE?! You thought of SENDING it (for a few seconds probably but STILL). :angry:
