July 15, 201410 yr This will remain one of FSRs only nil pointers from Ashton. Abhorrent track Such a legend though. http://www.eurovision.tv/save-files/resizes/79/a6/03/8a/56/c1/83/50/c9/59/0a/90/58/97/91/93/Andreas-Johnson-621-Leif-R-Jansson-Scanpix.jpg
July 15, 201410 yr Author I would have been inclined to keep them in also for the same reason. Mainly because we didn't know it was an alias at the time. Like SHIT should we have to suffer Fortunia and Camtoro/Leonville again!
July 16, 201410 yr Patiently was one of my only non cheapish entries from the begining period of this. Hopefully we will do better than last place this time.
July 16, 201410 yr Voted! Some decent songs, even if half of the entries were ridiculously uninspired (including my own)... Who the fuck got away with sending Duffy's Mercy? It's a wonder the contest ever outlasted the first few editions!
July 16, 201410 yr For some reason I couldn't even remember sending Tasmin Archer :kink: must have been smoking the wrong backy wacky.

July 17, 201410 yr Author Certainly gonna vote on this one. My maidenvoyage on the waves of BJSC. Oh thank the LORD *.* I was briefly worried If Only You was a surefire deduction.
July 17, 201410 yr Oh thank the LORD *.* I was briefly worried If Only You was a surefire deduction. No it won't be, no way. I am drinking tonight and already had points ready but decided I will listen the songs sober since I have time and vote sober.
July 19, 201410 yr I have voted. There's a cluster of really good inspired tracks here that are all genuinely better than the cheap entries - so I've barely voted for any tracks I'd consider cheap at all. It is actually quite interesting looking at each of these tracks and seeing which ones would have been vetoed had the contest had our current system in place. No real future hits in here but say, I never knew Natalia Kills had had a top 11 hit and I'd never heard Don't Play Nice (hence didn't penalise it like I did some obvious ones here), but entering it in 2008 would have been like someone entering Yasmin's Finish Line today.
July 19, 201410 yr Voted, great new discoveries! It's crazy how BJSC has changed, Mercy by Duffy being allowed to enter! :P

Even then it was still a bit likeably naff but conceivably forgotten by a lot of people. Were there any half-novelty top 15 semi-hits in 2011? Also IIRC Mercy was still yet to be a hit at the time of the contest...

Also IIRC Mercy was still yet to be a hit at the time of the contest... I was just about to rack my brains but I see Bré's already come to the rescue. Well technically yes it would be a future hit... but looking at the dates Duffy would have already been announced as the Sound of... runner-up correct? Although as I have a very sketchy musical memory of that time I have no idea whether it was known Mercy would be her big launch single or not, looks like it was already well on the path to becoming a hit rather in the 'could go either way' stage.
July 25, 201410 yr I will be voting either tonight or tomorrow night depending on whether or not I can be arsed to tonight.
July 26, 201410 yr Voted :funky: Was thinking about leaving it until tomorrow until I noticed the midday deadline.
