January 31, 201312 yr You know you're life is hitting rock bottom when you find yourself LOVING Eledan.
January 31, 201312 yr Random.org absolutely hates Caerfyrddia I swear. In completely the wrong semi :drama:
January 31, 201312 yr There were about four or five borderline entries this time. Tegan & Sara were one of them and were almost vetoed, but they couldn't even qualify in TBO with one of their best songs so we decided to let it stay. Darin was touch-and-go for a good while but decided to not let it through for the same reasons as Darin's previous veto. There were LOADS of songs (and by 'loads', I mean 'almost all') that many of you already knew (judging by all the personal charts), which made this process really difficult. Songs that would have been veto-worthy in the past got through because vetoing one would've meant vetoing a ton of others and we didn't really want to do that. Obvs we know these decisions are never going to be popular, but Darin's hype level was that little bit stronger than the others. I can imagine if we DID let him through then people would be asking why it wasn't vetoed even though he was vetoed before with similar hype. Recent Scandipop + new album out + serious hype in Sweden (most of us are fairly well informed about their charts) + appearing in a lot of personal charts all contributed to his veto. Hope that clears things up! xoxo Anyway, some GREAT songs. Surprised that Elliphant is Harve's! For some reason I assumed it was Lew's entry. Fantastic tune. :wub: And I'm totes not qualifying. Can't believe I went with Sasha Go Hard. :lol:
January 31, 201312 yr A little overwhelmed atm, but hopefully William, Detox and Vicky Vox can get me through it all. (just to be 100% sure, i'm only voting in the semi that i'm in, yessum?)
January 31, 201312 yr (just to be 100% sure, i'm only voting in the semi that i'm in, yessum?) Yup! ^_^
January 31, 201312 yr Excited. :D Although looking at some of those tracks, I'm suprised nobody entered Nikki Williams 'Kill, f***, Marry' or was that too obvious a veto?

Can't believe I went with Sasha Go Hard. :lol: Completely makes sense - when Lee told me he went for Darin, I did think it may be touch and go because of Nobody Knows, it was only because of Samantha Jade being let through the bag that I was a bit surprised. But, like you say, if you veto one, then that's reason to veto more, and so on. There was only one there that I saw and thought 'hmm, surprised that got through'. Maybe Tegan & Sara, though that wasn't the T&S song I was expecting, I was expecting 'I Was A Fool'. Always like to see the justified reasons for the vetoes, so as ever, thanks Cal!

Can't believe I went with Sasha Go Hard. :lol: We were torn between the same two songs, pretty much. And I obviously agree, oof. <3 edit: your entry isn't very Espen?! I'll see if it grows just so it doesn't break your streak of amazingness. Edited January 31, 201312 yr by Harve
January 31, 201312 yr Well my reasoning why I went for what I went for is that T&S's other song is getting a lot of hype but I'm yet to see 'I'm not your hero' mentioned anywhere. That and it's gorge!
January 31, 201312 yr Not entirely sure how well my entry will do but it's my favourite song of the past couple of months (personal chart Xmas #1, still top five) so it had to be done, even though it's a while since I sent a full on pop/dance belter (and I haven't done it at all in the hipster era!) Lots of stuff I already know here a la everybody else but most of it's good, will have an opening listen to these tomorrow.
January 31, 201312 yr Petula Clark's won this, hasn't she? :drama: I personally would have gone for a veto on that, it's got pretty big hype on the net/blogs (much more than Darin). So I'm surprised at that (as I was with Samantha Jade, but that's been explained so I understand).

So I'm surprised at that (as I was with Samantha Jade, but that's been explained so I understand). I was thinking that to a certain extent, Petula is all over popjustice and is in more personal charts than Darin. But I'm not going to continue to doubt the mods. I'm sure their job is hard enough than us to continue questioning their decisions. If Lauren DNQ'S lets start a revolt etc...
January 31, 201312 yr I was actually most surprised at Miguel getting through. That song was huge in the US and as a forum we're not entirely ignorant of their charts. But I suppose if this was a month with a lax veto as a rule then it's understandable.
February 1, 201312 yr I'm Not Your Hero :wub: My instant favourite off the album <3 Sasha Go Hard!!! *.* The Irrepressibles! *.* ALONE, Chris?! What about ME wot
