September 10, 201410 yr ^You're in the wrong semi though. I lengthened my odds for you because of that; if you get through they'll shorten. As for myself, I can't be preparing for a second DNQ in a row. I even thought I was being slightly conservative with my own odds to be modest because I really think my entry could be (and sounds like) a big hit. The number of songs above the line though, that's lovely.
September 10, 201410 yr As for myself, I can't be preparing for a second DNQ in a row. I even thought I was being slightly conservative with my own odds to be modest because I really think my entry could be (and sounds like) a big hit. Lovely music in the song Iz, with shades of the more commercial side of Arcade Fire but it was the singer that didn't seem particularly "BJSC friendly" to me for some reason. I don't necessarily think you will DNQ though, you were the last I left unbolded. In terms of being a contender, I'm not sure if it will draw enough support from either the pure pop fans or cool kids to do massively well, but it should pick up some decent middle ground votes. I'll give it higher odds if it can get out of the semi, I think the other semi would have been more favourable for it.
September 10, 201410 yr Fair enough reasoning, I always saw it with reasonably wide appeal myself but I can see why it may not pick up big fans (aside from me) because it isn't exactly placed well in a distinct bloc. But then, that's true of a lot of my entries. Leww's said similar on it to me really (to crush my hopes and hype and self-confidence). I didn't really expect such bad odds from you honestly (although given my low odds for your song I'm sure you could say the same) that's why I spoke up. Although I was half sure indie people would have preferred me to send their other A-side Blind As Night if they were able to choose so I was initially pleased I was in semi 1 as this one should in theory appeal to the rest more, so I'm not sure if apparently being in the wrong semi means I may have support across the base or whether I don't.
September 10, 201410 yr A 12/1 from the oracle of odds :kink: :o And a 25/1, more like what I'm used to :lol:
September 11, 201410 yr I would grumble at all of my high odds, but I can't say they were that unexpected :( I'm not sure if I thought this actually had a chance of doing well, but that small hope's definitely gone out the window being in this bloodbath of a semi. Although if I finish below Allecian... Edited September 11, 201410 yr by Chez Wombat

Well fingers crossed for you anyway, it's certainly a bit different to the rest of the stuff in the semi. Different traditionally either pays off in spades or bombs spectacularly so hopefully it's the former. I have no expectations for my entry tbh, good or bad, I haven't really thought about its chances. I'm hoping it can do reasonably well, which is why I've placed it just outside the top ten on my odds, which is probably quite over generous but I'm not sure really. It's a rather subtle song compared to most of my entries but it's the string assisted chord change at 3:35-3:50 that made me think 'wow, I must send this!' Coming off the back of two DNQ's, I think any self-hype and confidence has all but evaporated!
September 11, 201410 yr every time i hear your entry rich i just think it sounds more and more like a winner, i know i might be the only one who thinks so but i think i'm gonna stick to my guns unless an obvious hype train emerges
September 11, 201410 yr Rontbet odds are pretty good :o Iz must be smoking the wrong backy wacky. :snif:
September 11, 201410 yr semi 2, just a bit alternative this time. There's no major standouts, but a bunch on a par. Wide open to me, so maybe I'll just say Eff Buttons, SWAGGOT to do better than predicted and Summer Heart cos nobody ever seems to like nice tunes! I'll go with the predictions other than that for semi 2.

September 14, 201410 yr Rooting for Jamvale. It's pretty difficult to compare it to Platinum Chains as it's about 100 times more commercial so it should cross over to the pop voters better even if it loses a few of the people who voted for that.

Oh Rich :( Are we going to see the beginning of FSR Rontvifina since your taste seems to be changing so DRASTICALLY TO SHIT lately? The song is as generic as Tiesto's last album and faceless as rent-a-nobody-for-vocals-in-a-dancey-shmancy-sellout-number.
September 14, 201410 yr I wouldn't say 'In Your Arms' is "SHIT" at all :o It might be very generic & formulaic but it's good fun. Put it at the top because it will likely sweep up votes from its lovers and get the casual points too. BUT this contest is very wide open and i can see any of the top quarter potentially doing it (so basically i have no idea B))
