March 11, 201312 yr Oh yeah for the record, the featured artist in my entry is supposed to be 'Miss Kittin'. No typo! *insert 'Hide' hype*
March 11, 201312 yr I thought Scherzland's entry was going to be a cover of the new Calvin Harris/Ellie Goulding single from the opening line :lol: There are some strong entries here, I've just finished listening to them. Semi 1 is far stronger than Semi 2 and I do hope that the hipster entries don't dominate again because they're FAR weaker than those on offer last month overall. Some good pop here this time around!
March 11, 201312 yr I did write a long post explaining the Tone thing earlier but deleted it, but I'll take the flak for this one now just so we can move on and enjoy the contest (Umi's entry is pure sex.) :heart: When we all saw Tone on the list we all recoiled slightly because we knew this was the reaction it was going to get. When we looked at all the entries in detail we actually found that Tone didn't have that much hype or support at all. Yes, she had done well in this contest a while ago but you have to look at it this way: She can't be compared to Molly because the hype around Molly last year was far bigger than the hype around Tone now, and I think you're conveniently forgetting that we even vetoed Tone last year because of the hype around her back then. Apart from a couple of members and Phil (who actually hypes her more than anyone!), there doesn't seem to be any cohesive support for her at all. We all expressed concern about Tone and Phil even offered to change his track to avoid this scenario, but we weren't comfortable about vetoing a song just because of the reaction it was going to get. Darin is beginning to be a bit of a THORN in our sides. I'm repeating myself at this stage but his tracks have had far more hype around them, hence the vetoes, so I'd KINDLY urge people to build a bridge with that one. Purity Ring wasn't a unanimous veto but they're very well known on here and the song has a considerable amount of support online. Believe it or not, Le Kid's song actually has more hype than Tone, but we let it through because it's not an obvious winner and its hype isn't even THAT considerable in the larger scheme of things, so if Tone went then Le Kid would've had to have gone as well, which I'm sure wouldn't have been received well at all. I hope I'm not adding fuel to the fire but that's basically why you should all vote for 'Noise' by Toys. :D (Pavel, you better vote for me OR ELSE :hitler:)
March 11, 201312 yr Oh yeah for the record, the featured artist in my entry is supposed to be 'Miss Kittin'. No typo! *insert 'Hide' hype* I was thinking that, Miss Kittin has had a couple of minor UK hits in the past so am familiar with her name but didn't know if this was the same person.
March 11, 201312 yr I really don't know what to do. :cry: I don't have enough time to listen to all the entries just once before leaving tomorrow, yet if I don't vote it's highly unlikely I will make it through... DILEMMAZ.

DILEMMAZ. If you have chance to get onto a computer when you're in Canada (lucky bast*rd by the way <_< ), could you not spend tonight downloading the songs in your semi to your phone or MP3 player and listen to them on the plane, then vote when you get chance over there?

Don't think there's going to be any chance of that :( Plus I don't really have time for that either as I should've been asleep at least an hour ago already and I've got too many things to do before I leave tomorrow morning. Tried to send a set of votes with the top two being the two I've heard, and the rest completely randomised, but leww's inbox is full :angry:

I wasn't trying to accuse anyone or sound upset! Like I said, when Purity Ring got vetoed I wasn't surprised and I understood, but I was more just surprised to see something on a similar level get through. But BJSC has definitely changed a lot in terms of participants and what does well, so that also has 2 be considered
