July 11, 201411 yr It's funny, I toyed with sending it to BJSC about a year and a half ago when it was top three in my chart but figured it would be a veto as he was in the chart with Clarity at the time (and still is :magic:)
July 11, 201411 yr Semi Final one is very bleh, hopefully I'll warm to those songs, however not all of them are boring. Semi Final two on the other hand has loads of gems. It's brilliant. :wub:
July 11, 201411 yr I honestly enjoyed listening to Semi Final 1, I didn't find it boring at all! I really liked 24 out of the 27 songs I needed to hear, so I found it quite hard narrowing it down to 10.
July 11, 201411 yr Just when I thought i was in a prime position to win 'most ill-advised BJSC entry 2014', it turns out that Semi 2 is packed to the brim full of them, an 8 minute long indie rock entry, Dutch language rap! Nice to see so much diversity this month (once you take out all of the identikit dance entries).
July 11, 201411 yr Oh my god Allecian *.* Deadmau5 style verses, cheap Calvin Harris tribute act synths, traditional Armenian instruments, Eurovision novelty entry-esque lyrics, broken English and a whiff of Chris Brown's Beautiful People. What a mess/tune!
July 11, 201411 yr Starting to face the uncomfortable truth that 'Armenian Girl' is probably going to win.
July 11, 201411 yr Armenian Girl is a work of ART (it's all about the Duduk/Balaban in the chorus though).
July 11, 201411 yr Oh my god Allecian *.* Deadmau5 style verses, cheap Calvin Harris tribute act synths, traditional Armenian instruments, Eurovision novelty entry-esque lyrics, broken English and a whiff of Chris Brown's Beautiful People. What a mess/tune! its amazing isn't it and the fact that they let a 27 year old wander through a school with about $3000 worth of designer brand shopping shouldn't go unnoticed
July 11, 201411 yr Armenian Girl better not win That'd probably be one of the worst winners ever for me A Friday/Hot Problems sized mess
July 11, 201411 yr its amazing isn't it and the fact that they let a 27 year old wander through a school with about $3000 worth of designer brand shopping shouldn't go unnoticed And the random impromptu dance routine in a gymnasium. IT (the video) HAS IT ALL!
July 11, 201411 yr Just voted. I absolutely love my top four. Thank you for the discoveries - you know who you are! (you don't :().
July 11, 201411 yr Armenian Girl makes my EARS BLEED So naturally it will do very well and indeed would be a fitting winner in a year were we have had ONE good winner.
July 11, 201411 yr just listened to semi 2, havent seen any videos so not influenced by them at all. Normally I'd be all "ooh love the variety" but for both semis I've gone for 80% dance/pop tracks as my faves so far. Oddly, given there are so many dance entries this time. Armenian Girl would be improved without the autotune hiding the singer's vocals. And the eurovision backing track. I like the trad instr. bits. Is it really a contender though?! I'd say Unovia or Ethanola of the dance tunes...
July 11, 201411 yr Just voted, the toughest semi for a long time, could've voted for 16 tracks so commiserations to those I couldn't include! Can't wait to listen to semi 1 this weekend, hope the quality is just as good.
July 12, 201411 yr Oh I didn't recognise it in the list but I came across the Isconia song when I was looking for songs. Rather iconic *.* Just about to vote, rather a lot of deadwood in this semi and only a couple of really big standouts. Hope semi 2 is better quality.
July 12, 201411 yr Voted. Really enjoyed semi 2, commiserations to five countries, it was pretty hard to narrow it down to ten!
July 12, 201411 yr Just had to replace the link for Farahtyn as the other one was no longer available and what a video it has. Dancing poodles in leotards *_*
