hoping to get the mp3's up fairly soon

 

 

My semi-final isn't going to appreciate the gem that Animals is :(

 

Oh and Bellamia's entry isn't going to win. I'm giving it a top 5 finish

WOAH, Hold on a second. We haven't neither seen nor signed off on this final list yet. Nor have we finished debating over vetoes.

LOL at Aquafina sending the theme song of Stockholm Gay Pride! I was gonna send something by of Verona but I changed my mind.

 

I really don't rate my chances based on who's in that Semi at first glance but we'll see.

SevenSeize flopping when the contest has barely even started :arrr:

You beat me to it! :lol:

It's not often when I can open a thread and say I've already heard 10 songs (including my own). I'm excited for this contest! Excluding my entry, Animals, Perfect Form and City of Dreams are the only songs I've heard not because of personal charts/people asking for advice though. I personally think Animals and Perfect Form are a little uninspired but hope they do well anyway ^_^

Okay we're back in business again HOORAY.

 

Doesn't look like too bad a semi for me, although I'm separated from Hendinia YET AGAIN (every time) so of course my semi will be the irrelevant one.

Out of the two semi's I think Little Nikki might just be in the best one for her.

 

Who was it that was the other person trying to send Litte Nikki Says?

None other than Phlox himself :D

So was I! Their new single wasn't speaking to me enough though. Castles remains the best thing they've done (check it out everyone who wasn't in UP!!! although Dark In My Imagination is pretty good too before I completely damage Florina's chances).

 

I'm not sure about my semi either but I think my song has enough appeal to survive, I think it's amazing anyway.

i felt very confident in my entry until i saw my semi, not feeling that confidence now!!!

None other than Phlox himself :D

I thought that was the most likely of the two.

You're in the indie semi with enough of your block to seal the deal. You'll be reet!

I'm fully confident, either semi would have been fine really as there's a good mix across both.

Now that the new countries have an officially confirmed entry could I possibly direct Rabbit Heart to my own unofficial bit of BJSC responsibility to claim your location on the BJSC world map (not 6 though cos that is reserved by Phlox who will be added to the map tomorrow, too tired to do it now).

 

Shame to see no show by Xeldrassil this contest.

DANDY* SENT LAMB!!! OMG :wub:

I hope my semi is full of people who enjoy deep house, otherwise I'm out on my arse.

 

Not in the same semi as Fljótavik though? Not impressed!

I think my semi looks quite good for the song I'm sending actually, I don't know how this will go down, but I'll be hopeful.

 

I don't think I know any songs bar Bré's (Semi pals 4ever) and I am familar with The Royal Concept & Of Verona but not the songs, they better be good as the other songs I know by them are right tunes.

 

Oh Pavel, I have no words but YAY SHADEUX :heart:
