May 26, 201312 yr Actually really good top-5 at the moment, I voted for three of them which is PLEASING!
May 26, 201312 yr Well, this is tense. Despite the odds I didn't expect to be leading, so all of a sudden the two day split seems like a horrid idea :lol:
May 26, 201312 yr Oh thanks for the points Ryan! :heart: OMG, YES RYAN!!! Oh thank you Ryan! Yet another unexpected score! Thanks Ryan, amazing :D No problem, all fantastic songs! :wub:
May 26, 201312 yr Well my last place prediction for Iz is probably not feasible at this point :D :lol: It's so difficult to try and separate personal feelings from likely reality when doing the odds/predicta. If songs have obvious huge hype and I don't like them then I'll put them high up regardless but if I don't like them and they've had no hype then they go to the bottom of the pile - some songs like this slip through the net due to the 'silent fans', and those end up doing really well, much to my despair! I do love Seyetana's entry this month though!
May 26, 201312 yr I hope my votes are towards the end as they would really separate that top few out...
May 26, 201312 yr Getting closer to getting the wooden spoon award. Poor Alex Hepburn. :( Oh well, can't really complain after 2 months of doing well. Still hoping Skall delivers tomorrow. :D
May 26, 201312 yr Just a small heads up to Ramrynia, if you see any Ashtonise military aircraft in your airspace this evening they're just surveying on behalf of the Buzzjack United Nations, not bombing you. That comes after we get the surveying results! :magic: I bloody hate being on commiseration's lists
May 26, 201312 yr This has to be the lowest number of non-english entries in a very long time with only 3, iirc, this month in total! Envole Moi, Fuck You and Wild!
May 26, 201312 yr I want to send a proper foreign language song but I can never find any good enough ones. 'Vehl' will have to do for that :P
May 26, 201312 yr I want to send a proper foreign language song but I can never find any good enough ones. Erm there are SO many good non-English songs BYE. You just need to get INVESTED in the idea. The 'oh this song is not that good I'm exhausted now let us listen to 1564 english-language tracks before I come back to another foreign one yay' approach JUST WON'T WORK.
May 26, 201312 yr Erm there are SO many good non-English songs BYE. You just need to get INVESTED in the idea. The 'oh this song is not that good I'm exhausted now let us listen to 1564 english-language tracks before I come back to another foreign one yay' approach JUST WON'T WORK. I don't actively search for foreign language songs. I just search for songs in general. The places I search don't have many foreign language songs in them. I have actually found a foreign language song (at least I THINK it's foreign language) I like but it's DIE ANTWOORD-ESQUE and would genuinely get 0 points in the semi (so I might send it just for the lolz (not next contest though as I think I've decided on my next entry now and it's decidedly English)).

May 26, 201312 yr Oh Juranamo! Thank you ever so much!!!! Starting to slightly cross my fingers we can take home a second win... I can't remember the last time you sent a bad entry, you're about to overtake Rontvia in my to date rankings!
May 27, 201312 yr At least I'm doing better than Sandeborg, eh. People that have supported me in this thread who still have votes to be revealed BEST have given me at least a 5...or you might just find a warship flying over your country :ph34r: I wouls rather spoon my eyes out than see Glowing win and t isn't that good, but the actual top 3 are all brilliant and would be a wonderful winners, Seyetana especially had quite a unique song, I was quite surprised to see its predictions weren't very good.

May 27, 201312 yr Thanks Ryan, amazing :D I wonder if Mainline would have done better here if it had never been sent to Unknown Pleasures, not sure how many people are perhaps marking it down because of that? THIS. I think it is becoming harder and harder to send songs in this contest when half of members participates in UP as well. I knew I will suffer as soon as I found out Mainline was sent in UP, and that was after semi started...all I researched was classic...check if it charted uk/us and if it was playlisted.
May 27, 201312 yr i DID mark down mainline but not because i already knew it, but more because i absolutely exhausted it so i'm more bored of it than i was (it was my ringtone since it was sent to UP as well!!!) still a good song tho.
May 27, 201312 yr Same here. Had 'Mainline' been a proper discovery in BJSC it'd be looking at 12 or 10 points easily. I did mark it down in the final (not so much in the semi but that was because I struggled to find 10 songs that I really liked) but that said, there were more than enough SF2 gems to knock it down anyways.
May 27, 201312 yr Had Mainline been a new discovery it would have been getting the top mark or near there, although I didn't deduct it as much as I'd expected to as it wasn't sent with cheap intentions and I did manage to enjoy it even after overplaying it post-UP. I would love to send another foreign-language song but I got my hands bitten quite soundly with the last one I found and that one is still sounding wonderful to my ears 2 months later.
