July 7, 201410 yr Author Well since you all know what it is :/ I had no idea how big these artists were until someone mentioned it after i sent for confirmation. Like literally.
July 7, 201410 yr Don't you check to see if your entries have been sent before in the Songs of thread?
July 7, 201410 yr If it was as veto-worthy as people say it is then it would've been vetoed (if it's the song I think it does get over 14 veto points so would have been discussed by moderators) so don't worry, I'm sure it's not that bad!
July 7, 201410 yr Author Don't you check to see if your entries have been sent before in the Songs of thread? I usually do, but I liked this so much when I heard it and didn't think to check this time around. And then someone was like oh they finished top 5 in a previous contest and then I was just hoping it didn't get vetoed.
July 7, 201410 yr If it was as veto-worthy as people say it is then it would've been vetoed (if it's the song I think it does get over 14 veto points so would have been discussed by moderators) so don't worry, I'm sure it's not that bad! I think it got 19 points?? If I did my personal chart still it would have got 22 points and would have been automatically vetoed. If it hasn't Jamvale are very lucky! :lol:
July 7, 201410 yr I agree it's v. cheap but it would be great to see James finally have a BJSC hit and the song is amazing so I'm hoping that it doesn't get vetoed :( although I think it will considering loads of people on Buzzjack know the song now partly thanks to your hyping :P
July 7, 201410 yr I think it got 15 veto points (12 for being an artist who had previously finished top five and 3 for being in two personal charts) from what I can calculate but I may have missed something out, but at the end of the day it got more than 14 points so the moderators would've decided against it if it was such a 'bad' entry. Although it has charted top 100 in Germany but only at #59 so I'm not sure if that has been counted as it is so low. Obviously not as otherwise that would be 22 points I think like you say!
July 7, 201410 yr The final list has been approved now (unless Yu lied to me) so it hasn't been vetoed ~ I don't necessarily think it's a veto worthy song but it is a little uninspired - I'm also not a fan of it at all but I kinda hope it does well as you are well overdue a hit now. (might grow on me anyway)

I included "The song/artist has charted, within the past 12 months, in one of the following nations: United States, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, France & Germany" as their album has gone top 5 in US and Canada in April. Anyway yeah I agree that if they thought it should have been vetoed it would have been.
July 7, 201410 yr Author I really don't wanna be a cheap HO :( And i really am oblivious to either artist cause this is the first time I've heard of either artist. Back to my usual CRAP next month then. :P
July 7, 201410 yr Plus look on the bright side - this ~controversy~ is getting yo thread majah pageviews and non-you posts *. Jamvale never been more relevant.

July 7, 201410 yr It did have enough points to veto it but was not deemed veto worthy. Me and Iz were alone, luckily for you!
July 7, 201410 yr Ah good point, I didn't think about album charts - not sure whether they are considered or not. It's a grey area. One that is being clarified this week.

No I'm not taking offence and can I also say I'd already decided this as my entry when I saw it in your chart or I wouldn't have considered it before hand.
