October 8, 201311 yr Semi 2 is hard to predict, there's a lot of similar sounding (basic bitch) pop going on in there so I get the feeling some of it might cancel out. But yeah I definitely don't see a place in the final for: Seyetana, Daehun, Tartford, Jamvale or Ethanola. The rest could slip through easily enough, but there are a few dead certs: Altyr, Rontvia, N DNTN (granted this is more on the country than the song, imo), Jayrusalen, Ingermanlandia and Sandeborg.
October 8, 201311 yr Yeah John you could have just stopped with your predictions post. Whatever brief hope I had of qualifying is SNUFFED out now.

I'd like to say Ethanola too, but I think that's a bit too far down the line. (I know I probably won't get through, but allow me to be optimistic before a flood of more DNQ predictions) Edited October 8, 201311 yr by Chez Wombat

October 9, 201311 yr I really don't have as much confidence in my song as you all do it seems! I love it but I defo don't think it's gonna have the wide appeal to pull it out of this semi. (and I wish I was important enough o get through on name alone! ain't no FSR just yet)

October 9, 201311 yr I really don't have as much confidence in my song as you all do it seems! I love it but I defo don't think it's gonna have the wide appeal to pull it out of this semi. (and I wish I was important enough o get through on name alone! ain't no FSR just yet) You're thinking of the old FSR Rontvia. This year we have a bigger DNQ rate than most. FSR = Flop Sink Repeat :(
October 10, 201311 yr It's actually a really good song! Even if it does DNQ you've brought ME a new discovery.
October 10, 201311 yr I like it a lot too, I wasn't sure at first but the second half is really good, and the melody in the chorus is very strong. Hopefully not a DNQ for Ashton, but who knows these days, if BJSC can turf out during the semis then nothing is sacred! (Not bitter about the three DNQ's, just bitter about this particular DNQ :P)
October 11, 201311 yr I don't think I ever had so good predictions so I'm fully prepared for a DNQ. :D
