March 6, 201411 yr Aah I'm amazed at finishing 12th (and so high in the semi too :o)! Thanks for all the late votes, especially the 12 from Ashton there. Glad you enjoyed the return to schlager! Brill top 3 and RontBet get it right again (narrowly admittedly)! Thanks for hosting Oricon!
March 6, 201411 yr Most Consecutive Top 5 Finishes: 04 - Numayania (On two separate occasions) bye Well aren't you charming. Thanks for a great contest Yu :D
March 6, 201411 yr Delighted with 13th and over 100 points for 25 Bucks, though was realistically what I was aiming for, I felt a song so good (as well as being totally different to anything else that would be entered) should've done well. Thanks to everyone who voted for it! I have now finished between 11th and 13th more than I've finished in the top 10 though! Hopefully get a 4th consecutive qualifier.
March 6, 201411 yr Final scoreboard (stretchy stretchy): http://i.imgur.com/uzekkCO.png This is like the 4th time Séyetana have come 10th wut. Keeping on stretching their lead over PERS for top 10 finishes and by such a tiny margin each time :( Though 'Angel With A Shotgun' is amazing so I'll allow it on this occasion. GWON backt mariah, I didn't notice them holding up there the whole time. V unexpected. I didn't think Tourist would do anywhere near that well either but then I guess he/they did have some hype. Was rly expecting Paces to be a win contender! They were 3rd in their semi before the deduction. And finally poor old Allecian, will they ever get a hit again? :( Second time of Verona have finished 2nd last as well.
March 6, 201411 yr lmao Iida received 6 twelves but didn't even finish Top 10. ooops I guess sending pure pop DOESN'T CUT IT anymore. :D I must say I very much liked it during Semis but it got old very quickly so THANKFULLY I saw sense to only give it one point in the final which SAVED the Top 10 from being spoiled.
March 6, 201411 yr Ugh... from the top 10 to 18th :o :drama: I guess the track run out of steam in the end. And FSR Rontvia finished ahead of me in the end.
March 6, 201411 yr 5th :wub: That's so much better than I was expecting, especially after most were predicting me to DNQ. Thank you all! <3 And thanks to Bré and Yu for hosting this! Very smooth and one of the better quality contests in a while!
March 6, 201411 yr #15 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ed2305b7.png I'm so pleased, much better than I expected, especially since 'Cool & Deadly' isn't sellout indie pop 'n all~ A BIG THANX to all those who awarded it with points especially the 12s (Robot and I can't remember who else did? MWAH). I'm glad some recognized the absolute gem of a song that it is, I am forever grateful for the points! ALL MY LOVE oh and CONGRATS FARC SOHN ARTIFICE <3
March 6, 201411 yr Didn't have chance to check the results until now - I must admit I'm slightly gutted at missing out by two points, but I've still done MILES better than I thought I would've done when I first entered it! Thanks to all that voted for me - it's so nice when some of the more UNLIKELY countries send you love. Rather disgraceful that 'hands' missed the top 10 - easily one of my favourite ever entries on Buzzjack and surprised so many pop voters seemed to have snubbed it. It's rather sad that a pop entry will never really win again because the majority of Bjsc are indie. Yes S O H N so indie, so experimental~ I found pop entries such as Parralox, of Verona and Gilligan Moss way more interesting to listen to than the winner, and OH LOOK they're hanging around in the bottom 5. </3 'Artifice' is a solid track though, don't get me wrong, and we had a 'different' entry win last month so I'm not complaining too much! What my next entry is probably depends on whether I AQ or not. And even then I'm gonna have to have a good think. HMM. Edited March 6, 201411 yr by Harve

It's rather sad that a pop entry will never really win again because the majority of Bjsc are indie. Why did I not see this post... Just because Indila had the most indie song in existence.. is that what you are saying?! She broke all kinds of records yet she's not even an OUNCE of indie. Not all pop voters have to vote for all pop songs... mainly because the majority of all songs sent to BJSC are pop. Get a grip, send a pop song with strong crossover appeal (YES! these DO exist) and therefore do well instead of spewing crap about how you're such a victim here.
March 6, 201411 yr I MEAN BUBBLEGUM POP. Jessica Mauboy would never have won had it been released now.
March 6, 201411 yr I MEAN BUBBLEGUM POP. Jessica Mauboy would never have won had it been released now. I fail to see why this isn't something to be celebrated.
March 6, 201411 yr 9th, 10th and 11th this contest (seriously Lee, 11th's a really good position) are all undoubtedly on the pop side of the spectrum and that's not even counting various other definitions of pop, I'd say Artifice and Solo Dancing are quite pop-esque myself. Yes, JESS MAUBOY and her ilk won't win any more but that's because not enough people will like them (in general). Similarly I don't think the very indie songs like Station will win these days either (was always a little baffled at that being a contender) - it works both ways.
March 6, 201411 yr I fail to see why this isn't something to be celebrated. Exactly. One of the worst winners. If you want a contest where bubblegum pop always wins, create your own contest and invite AlexRange. You two will make a great couple. I'm sure he has a Heidi Range wig for you to wear too.
March 6, 201411 yr Pretty pleased with 16th really. Don't think I've finished there before for one and also it was better than it looked like it would be for most of the results.

March 6, 201411 yr call me mad but i'm thinking of entering an astoundingly underrated song from way back in twenty oh seven (if not next month i probably will do at some point) ;o i imagine plenty of people might know the band, but the song doesn't seem to have made anyone's personal charts before so ~
March 6, 201411 yr I have my entry for next month and I'm hoping this will get me back into the upper reaches, I think it's more...memorable at least.
