March 20, 201312 yr Final odds from RontBet; 9/4 Fljótavík ♦ Little Daylight - Overdose 4/1 Ramrynia ♦ Emerentia - Wasting Water 6/1 Batidas ♦ Zara Larsson - Uncover 6/1 Skall ♦ Air France - It Feels Good To Be Around You My (over)hype is WORKING!
March 20, 201312 yr As much as I love Little Daylight, I would prefer somebody knew winning, it's getting incredibly tiring seeing the exact same people winning over and over. I agree, the last new winner was Aeroche's first win and they've won another 3 times since as well as repeat Fljótavík and Numayania wins. Getting pretty boring even if they are generally pretty good songs. These make me ever so slightly :( to think that people may be hoping specifically that we won't do well - but at the same time I can see where you are both coming from to be fair as it has felt a little repetitive of late. Not that I'd want to let that stop a good song winning (I have no idea on Little Daylight yet, haven't listened to it enough) but I agree on principle, would be nice to see a new hosting style next contest. I agree! I think the best and only solution is for either Lewis or I to win and then for us to pass on the hosting duties!!! :D
March 20, 201312 yr These make me ever so slightly :( to think that people may be hoping specifically that we won't do well - but at the same time I can see where you are both coming from to be fair as it has felt a little repetitive of late. Oh it's more important that a good song wins than something new, I would have no objecting to 'Overdose' winning. It just does get a little bit boring after 6/7 months with literally no new people winning. I'll probably be giving my 12 to someone who's won recently. Edited March 20, 201312 yr by Bré
March 20, 201312 yr Oh I genuinely do know what you mean - especially as the previous run of contests had a different winner each time for quite a long period. It felt very varied and more open as a contest as a result. I phrased it a bit poorly to be fair, I meant something more along the lines that I don't particularly wish to be a country that people look at and think OH GOD NOT AGAIN etc.
March 20, 201312 yr The contest does go through phases when it feels like the same countries win. A lot of it is to do with primary make up of the contests participants. At the moment we are going through an Indie phase. Usually a phase without much variation in winners as the same couple of countries send tracks with pop appeal thus get the best of both worlds. In the Scandi and Pop phases then there does tend to be more variation of winners but that's because there tends to be more participants in those categories. (Not so much in the Scandi phase, it sits somewhere in the middle) When we are transitioning through phases anything goes and those really are best the months as you have no idea where the winner is going to come from. Usually when we have a slow stream of new participants that gradually change the make up.
March 20, 201312 yr Author Is it bad that I'd struggle to hum a lot of the winners from the previous year or so? :drama: I certainly don't have anything against genres other than pop doing well but everything seems so mellow and polite recently, as Eyes mentioned a lot of the entries to me really do just blend into one 'sound'. Each to their own of course but once again this month, as for the past 6 or 7, many of the songs that are being called out as incredible are just inoffensive background music to me. And the songs that I love will probably finish in the bottom ten :lol: But the contest tends to go round in these cycles and no doubt the big pop anthems will be in vogue again one day. The likes of Air France and Depftford Goth would have completely died on their arse even a couple of years back but now they'll both almost certainly go top ten. Likewise the pop entries that all flooded the bottom ten last month would have almost all done way better in 2010/11. It's just the makeup of the people participating at that time that determines how the results pan out! I know sending dance entries in this current hipster phase definitely is NOT a recipe for success and certainly not victory but I just don't have anything I like enough to send of that 'sound' so I'll just carry on flopping until the tide turns again :lol:
March 21, 201312 yr My first 7 or so contests were really wonderful in terms of all my favourite songs doing well. Plus most of the entries seemed very different and varied (and it was very easy to find something to qualify with :kink:). I feel like I'm losing touch a bit. anyway, random wild odds as I finish my first proper listen of final: 9/2 Ramrynia ♦ Emerentia - Wasting Water 5/1 D'yermak'er ♦ Mausi - Move 6/1 Skall ♦ Air France - It Feels Good To Be Around You 7/1 Fljótavík ♦ Little Daylight - Overdose 8/1 Syndare ♦ Mmm - Dark Motion 9/1 Batidas ♦ Zara Larsson - Uncover 10/1 Tinnmark ♦ Ghost Beach ft. Noosa - Close Enough -------------- 12/1 Bignia-Zaragovina ♦ Mia Martina - HeartBreaker 12/1 B.a.N.G ♦ Eli & Fur - Tonight 13/1 N DNTN ♦ Deptford Goth – Union 13/1 Hendinia ♦ Le Kid - We Are Young 15/1 FSR Rontvia ♦ Verona - Fallin' In Love 15/1 Mdiče ♦ SSION - Earthquake 15/1 Juranabaijan ♦ MKTO - Thank You 18/1 Ojnoj ♦ Nicky Romero & NERVO - Like Home 20/1 Ashton, Federal Republic Of ♦ Tone Damli - Smash 22/1 Terra Avium ♦ Feathers - Land Of The Innocent 25/1 Unovia ♦ Indiana - Bound 25/1 Trifoski ♦ Robert DeLong - Global Concepts 25/1 Aeroche ♦ Data Romance – She's Been High 30/1 Aquafina ♦ Antonia - Marabou 30/1 Danaelanda ♦ Flume ft. Moon Holiday - Insane 35/1 #00274E ♦ Clean Bandit - A&E 35/1 Isconia ♦ VAZ - Let It Rest 35/1 Persephonia ♦ Spor - Pacifica (Kito & Reija Lee Remix) 40/1 Utopia ♦ TCTS - 1997 40/1 Scherzland ♦ Parachute - Hearts Go Crazy 42/1 Espen ♦ Toys - Noise 45/1 Allecian ♦ YADi - The Blow 50/1 Sandebörg ♦ NOAH - Over byen I think the huge amount of 'mellowtronica' songs will work against them this time. Really. Of course I'm not ruling out Air France and Little Daylight seeing as how there has been hype for those but they could be beaten by pop votes being concentrated to something like Emerentia.
March 21, 201312 yr If it helps, I'm new to BJSC, and have no idea who's who or what's been, I don't follow trends and I like all types of music. So I vote for what I like, just like I do in Eurovision - if its good pop i'll vote for it, if it's good indie, I'll vote for it, if it's good dance etc. etc. The main problem is I dont have time to repeat listen, and some records are growers, which has always been the Eurovision dilemma: records that win have instant appeal, the growers tend to not do so well, but it doesn't mean they arent just as good. Hooray!

Hooray! I've been part of BJSC for almost 2 years now and I vote in exactly the same way. I'm open minded to music hence why I can go from loving a big dance anthem ('Alive') to a pure pop song ('What You've Done To Me') to something indie ('Two Men In Love'). If it sounds good to me, then that's the selling point. As for this contest, I've got provisional votes for the final and (without checking so I might be slightly wrong) I'm currently looking likely to award points to 7 BJSC countries that didn't get points from me last month.
March 24, 201312 yr Having finally listened to all of the songs in the final a couple of times, I'm predicting a MAUSI victory.

Still, I'm sure they'll be some form of surprise and I'm gonna guess Skall will be the ones to bring it. I hope so anyway, I'd like to add the chorus of seeing a different winner, if only just to see a new hosting style Edited March 24, 201312 yr by Chez Wombat
March 24, 201312 yr Final odds from BETidas. Nothing stands out as an obvious last place so Parachute drew the short straw.

March 24, 201312 yr 2x 18/1 - SMASHING IT *.* But really, after the shit year I've had (aside from Britt Love coming 6th) since Dia Frampton was 5th, I'd be happy with top 20 :lol:
March 24, 201312 yr Oh dear, Mmm are falling out of favour in these newer odds :( Although to be fair, having heard semi 1 now I feel much less confident about their chances.
