October 7, 201311 yr Author At least I'm not the only one with hilariously misplaced self-confidence this contest then :heehee: (Hozier will probably do better than your last 4 entries but it's really not a contender to win surely - though I'm always wrong about these things so don't mind me).
October 7, 201311 yr At least I'm not the only one with hilariously misplaced self-confidence this contest then :heehee: (Hozier will probably do better than your last 4 entries but it's really not a contender to win surely - though I'm always wrong about these things so don't mind me). I may be COMPLETELY wrong here but I really have this gut feeling that it's going to break out Gotye/Lorde style in the next 6 months (not that their BJSC 'success' should really inspire me that it'll do well in the contest!). It's shaping up to be a massive hit in Ireland and I think it *could* spread from there (over to the UK/Radio 1 at least). It will stand out on the radio and it has a video that will definitely get people talking. I've noticed it quickly climbing iTunes in Ireland (#8 now and the EP was #1) and I'm sure it will be #1 there soon before other countries start to pick it up. I could be completely wrong but I'm sometimes right (Pixie Lott, Example, Caro Emerald :P). Weirdly I've noticed two people on Facebook mention that they love the song in the last week, a girl I dated about 6 months ago who I definitely didn't show the song to and Gossling (a former BJSC entrant of mine) so it must be getting around somehow already.
October 7, 201311 yr Contest over. Ramrynia have won. Congratulations etc. (YAY for mid-table odds from Rich!)
October 7, 201311 yr Contest over. Ramrynia have won. Congratulations etc. (YAY for mid-table odds from Rich!) It's usually my final odds that are more reflective, my opening odds are usually way out but I can usually gauge the hype and love from the Semi results thread and comments in other threads during the course of the week. VAULTS were only about 5th in my opening odds last month but then on top of my final odds.

He performed on Today FM this morning so that's why he climbed again! ^_^ I think you could do quite well this month actually. I loved it as soon as I heard it the first time and the video seems to be going down very well. Perhaps not the most BJSC-friendly sound but I think we're moving away from that now. And while we're here, I can't see myself doing that well. I know a lot of people know the song but it'll probably pick up low points from most and end up finishing (if it qualifies - Espen's luck will run out eventually!) in the middle of the scoreboard like As Animals, which is still good enough for me tbh!

Oh! :lol: Well I hope it can spread anyway as Ireland deserve a breakout international hit (what even WAS the last?!). I'm not particularly sure how it will do anyway tbh as, like you say, it's not the typical 'sound' that does well in BJSC but I've got everything crossed. Your entry will almost certainly be top ten, at least. There are going to be loads of people that didn't consider it that love it too, me for example :D
October 7, 201311 yr Obviously well pleased with my odds so far, nice to know my confidence in this entry isn't misplaced!
October 7, 201311 yr 22/1 Terra Avium > Dreamtrak - Odyssey, Part 2 (A. G. Cook Remix) I'm SKEPTICAL to even look in this thread after last month, but I will take this gladly over the first set of odds.
October 8, 201311 yr Oh! :lol: Well I hope it can spread anyway as Ireland deserve a breakout international hit (what even WAS the last?!). I'm not particularly sure how it will do anyway tbh as, like you say, it's not the typical 'sound' that does well in BJSC but I've got everything crossed. Your entry will almost certainly be top ten, at least. There are going to be loads of people that didn't consider it that love it too, me for example :D You can listen to the performance here (@ about 45:00 - if you can tolerate the DJ!). It's good to see it actually holding steady because most small acts here enter the chart and then fall out the next week. I'm not even sure what the last breakout was? I was thinking 'All I Want' by Kodaline but it didn't seem to chart that well anywhere. Maybe The Script? :lol: Hozier's entire E.P. is really great though, so I hope it takes off elsewhere. 'Like Real People Do' sounds so familiar and I can't figure out why!

'Like Real People Do' sounds so familiar and I can't figure out why! Love! :wub: Oh yeah The Script, of course! I paid to download Hozier's EP on iTunes last week (hardly a rip off at £1.29) and then later found out that it's free to download on his website! With that in mind it's surprising that it's doing well in any charts at all.
October 8, 201311 yr Love! :wub: Oh yeah The Script, of course!

With that in mind it's surprising that it's doing well in any charts at all. Yeah I got it for free before I realized it was actually on iTunes! Like you said I guess people don't mind paying 1,49€ for 4 songs. We need another breakout though because I've never really liked The Script. :heehee: I was going to buy a ticket for one of Hozier's Dublin gigs but they sold out pretty quickly because the venue is actually a church. :lol:

October 11, 201311 yr Nice to see Tsunami so high in odds...I am really curious to know if Espen already submitted the entry before my submission of Tsunami (I am DSQ from this contest because I couldn't vote on time etc etc)

October 13, 201311 yr If anyone is able to work out both the average odds in this thread and the total predictions in the other thread, that would be very helpful! Thanks!
