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. 12 points of course! [/notbias]
July 7, 201213 yr QUITE?! You thought of SENDING it (for a few seconds probably but STILL). :angry: I thought it would be an amusing entry but I completely forgot about it until I saw your gif... and it still is an amusing entry. Medevac is the best song in the contest by some margin.
July 7, 201213 yr DENA is amazing! :wub: I know im not in this but if i was Pavel would so be getting my 12 :wub: Make that 3. Oops!!! :D
July 7, 201213 yr I'd never even heard Medevac before, I don't follow Siobhan's career at all, so for me it IS a discovery! And it's a good one!
July 7, 201213 yr When I was listening to D E N A I was expecting it to be something hilariously awful, but it's actually a genuinely quite good song? Don't get the hate at all. Skall on the other hand
July 7, 201213 yr I'd never even heard Medevac before, I don't follow Siobhan's career at all, so for me it IS a discovery! And it's a good one! REALLY?!!! Silas has never forced you to listen to Ghosts before? When I was listening to D E N A I was expecting it to be something hilariously awful, but it's actually a genuinely quite good song? Don't get the hate at all. I think it's decent too, the video/image really is like some sort of sketch show parody though.
July 7, 201213 yr I don't think Semi 1 is as "terrible" as some people seem to be making out... it's just that the tracks that haven't scored so well are just pretty forgettable, imo. There are enough songs to vote through to the final and stuff, but the worst song I marked was a 4 out of 10. But nothing got higher than an 8 for me, personally. :( (Whereas usually there is at least one or two songs that are a 9 or 10 for me.) One or two pushed towards the high end of an 8 though, which is why I am so gutted about my odds and predicta results as I genuinely adore my own entry (as I'm sure everyone else loves their entry more too) and am failing to see why people have predicted it to DNQ/give shit odds for it. I've had plenty of DNQ's before though, so I'll just have to up my game that bit more next contest! :P But yeah, semi 1's good/decent. Just not great.
July 7, 201213 yr REALLY?!!! Silas has never forced you to listen to Ghosts before? Nope, I can count the Siobhan songs that I've heard on one hand... It's been a loooong time since Ashton sent anything Sugarelated so it's long overdue really, I think Medevac will finish top ten, as long as it's not marked down too much by people that already know it.
July 7, 201213 yr Voted! :cheer: Overall, it was a very good semi in the end! Really happy with my top 10! :D

In that case, you need to give Ghosts a listen! :D [/nuSilas]

Last time was 28 maybe?. The month Keisha got the axe I sent Whatever Makes You Happy. I may have run out of inspiration this month but I've been keen to send Siobhan for a loooooooong time.
July 7, 201213 yr In that case, you need to give Ghosts a listen! :D [/nuSilas] I second this, being the original Silas an all that. Medevac, Don't Give It Up (as entered by B.a.N.G. the same month I last entered Sugababes), So You Say and Ghosts are essential listening.
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! Omg I hope you liked my entry this month.:( Edited July 7, 201213 yr by Oricon

July 7, 201213 yr Surprising to see a one week wonder from 2003 being entered in BJSC :o "I'm In Heaven" scored zero points in my Ultimate One Week Wonders of the 00s Rate, hopefully the same fate won't happen in the contest. Also a little bit surprised that Sia, Wynter Gordon and Us were allowed in the contest - as Sia has had 2 massive chart hits recently, Wynter has been entered loads of times here and Us went top 100 in the UK. Anyway, it should be a good contest :D (other than the fact that my entry will certainly DNQ :drama:)
July 7, 201213 yr Good luck to everyone participating! Fervorosia will return for the 47th edition :D
July 8, 201213 yr Feel like my entry could be a "grower" for some people but I'm still anticipating a pretty bad result. It's so good tho y'all I promise
