November 15, 201212 yr Espen DNQing? LOL YEAH LIKE THAT WOULD EVER HAPPEN this has NORDPOLEN written ALL OVER IT.
November 15, 201212 yr Espen DNQing? LOL YEAH LIKE THAT WOULD EVER HAPPEN this has NORDPOLEN written ALL OVER IT. You'd better be right Mystic Meg. :(
November 15, 201212 yr Espen DNQing? LOL YEAH LIKE THAT WOULD EVER HAPPEN this has NORDPOLEN written ALL OVER IT. Or Frida Gold, hopefully?! :D Pretty sure some said they'd DNQ. Would've won if Lana Del Rey didn't exist. :( You'd better be right Mystic Meg. :( If I DNQ then I'm putting down to being in the wrong semi. :D
November 15, 201212 yr Would've won if Lana Del Rey didn't exist. :( That woman ruins absolutely everything. :(
November 15, 201212 yr I agree. Lana is horrible. I don't understand why you pretend to hate her when you like every single one of her singles. Is this some sort of reverse music snobbery where you won't allow yourself to appear to like anything NOT generic and dancey? It's really sad to force yourself to like/hate certain types of music.
November 15, 201212 yr Oh Umi it's that kind of horrible open mindedness that has given us MATT CARDLE and OLLY MURS.
November 15, 201212 yr Oh Umi it's that kind of horrible open mindedness that has given us MATT CARDLE and OLLY MURS. It's a worthy sacrifice for diversity! Without that open mindedness we'd live in a world that consists solely of a million Ed Sheeran and Nicki Minaj clones and I just don't think that's a world worth living in. Espen DNQing? LOL YEAH LIKE THAT WOULD EVER HAPPEN this has NORDPOLEN written ALL OVER IT. I definitely didn't get a Nordpolen vibe off the song but it has slowly grown on me so who knows. I feel like it will have trouble escaping the semi but if it does qualify, it could surprise in the final (still don't see it getting as high as Nordpolen though).

November 15, 201212 yr You entered 'One' and didn't win?! It came third behind an epically inspired winner ^_^ (disclaimer: This epically inspired winner may or may not have been mine thus bias is possible...)
November 15, 201212 yr It's a worthy sacrifice for diversity! Without that open mindedness we'd live in a world that consists solely of a million Ed Sheeran and Nicki Minaj clones and I just don't think that's a world worth living in. The problem with your logic here is that you're using Lana Del Rey as a desirable alternative to these two artists / clones of.
November 15, 201212 yr The problem with your logic here is that you're using Lana Del Rey as a desirable alternative to these two artists / clones of. I don't see the problem with that - Ed Sheeran and Nicki Minaj are surely the most representitive artists of the type of artist that both sides of the music snob spectrum adore. Lana admittedly is probably loved somewhere as a "wow it's great to have a credible woman for once" artist but considering the amount of shit she gets for not being "authentic", I don't think she's exactly a darling of the pop hater. I'm probably missing the point in your post, though. Edited November 15, 201212 yr by Umi
November 15, 201212 yr Ed Sheeran is absolutely not representative of what indie-type music snobs adore.
November 15, 201212 yr Ed Sheeran is absolutely not representative of what indie-type music snobs adore. I disagree. Not the ACTUAL indie types, but definitely the "lol i only like artists that don't make dance or hip hop and are men ed sheeran and coldplay are so credible" type of music snob. That's the "other side" to Oricon's attitude. I was going so say we could have loads of actually indie artists existing alongside Nicki + Ed but I thought it unnecessary.

November 15, 201212 yr I'm with Harvey. Generic acoustic ("singer-songwriter") shit Ed Sheeran plays doesn't have ANYTHING appealling to it WHATSOEVER.I doubt 5% of music snobs even LIKE him let alone APPRECIATE HIS MUSIC. wot
November 15, 201212 yr Author I don't understand why you pretend to hate her when you like every single one of her singles. Is this some sort of reverse music snobbery where you won't allow yourself to appear to like anything NOT generic and dancey? It's really sad to force yourself to like/hate certain types of music. I was JOKING! Lana is rather nice and I am a fan of some of her songs. :D
November 15, 201212 yr Ed Sheeran is liked by that ever so loathsome type of pop music fan who INSISTS their music must be CREDIBLE TO BE GOOD. I've come across quite a few on my traverses of internet forums, they are a truly heinous breed.
November 15, 201212 yr REAL MUSIC. lLJf9qJHR3E uZ9hB107AHs SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE AUTOTUNED PILES OF w*** THESE DAYS. omg on the first pages there are comments JUST like this, without any sense of irony: :( How could anyone dislike this song??? It is amazing and Ed doesn't use autotune. His voice is real. Now this is real music! Talent was used to create such a song not computers and 12 year old kids
November 15, 201212 yr Music is art. That is basic art, still rather enjoyable to listen to, but complex art does it way better. OPEN MINDS PEOPLE. I don't know a single song by a computer, or a 12 year old kid for that matter. Would be interesting though, tell this faceless Youtube commenter to send some my way, plz.
