October 5, 201410 yr The more i listen to 'Alchemy' the more obvious a winner it seems. Doesn't seem divisive at ALL. Just a stunning song that should capture almost everyone. Haven't felt this strongly about a song that wasn't my own since my debut contest i don't think :drama: It *has* to do it and i hope people don't pick at it for being "uninspired" or whatever because that's the only thing that could stop it i think. JOHN SIT DOWN, ADDY HAS THIS. If they vote on that basis then Altyr won't be winning either because that's even more uninspired thsan Alchemy :lol: I'm not sure though, I mean it's a surefire top three but I'm hesitant to call it a certain winner. I feel like I Loved You will appeal to a wider spectrum of people (even if it doesn't pick up as many 12's in the process).

Made all the more bitter for me because of the fact that he abandoned an absolute BEAUTY for this, at the first whiff of success :( Alchemy is shit. Interesting point.
October 5, 201410 yr I love Alchemy but it's a disappointingly obvious winner. :( I know we've had loads of wide open contests recently and maybe an obvious winner once in a while wouldn't hurt, but I prefer the unpredictability! I'd rather have a GOOD but predictable winner than a sub par one that is "unexpected".
October 5, 201410 yr Author I'd rather have a GOOD but predictable winner than a sub par one that is "unexpected". then clearly the best mixture is; a good AND unpredictable winner! (i.e. KERO KERO~)
October 5, 201410 yr I've been called a cheap hoe for sending Enrique/Ciara in past and now I've been called the same for sending TĀLĀ :snif: Edited October 5, 201410 yr by Addy K!ng
October 5, 201410 yr I'd never personally heard Alchemy before BJSC! I wouldn't call it cheap but evidently it seems to be well known in certain circles.
October 5, 201410 yr Alchemy is shit. X2 I'm probably biased and I'm not going to win, but I really don't think Alchemy is that good. But then I've not really thought ANY winner is year has been very good, so it would be fitting.
October 5, 201410 yr All this heresy about "Alchemy" - I really won't have it. :( Anyway, it seems all the CONTENDERS are in the other semi, but I really enjoyed "Broken Flowers", "Wolves", "Dancing In The Dark" and "White Wine" from mine, so I hope they are in with a shout also.
October 5, 201410 yr I'll be taking up temporary residency with John in the BitterBetty club this month.
October 5, 201410 yr LexC and Johnkm disliking a song is pretty much the hallmark of quality anyway so that only makes me even more confident in an 'Alchemy' win ~

October 5, 201410 yr that would be a pretty meh winner. i've TRIED to get into it but it's not for me. i think prelude / lapse of time will be a 'darkish horse' if anything!!!!
October 5, 201410 yr ps i love all of these odds for feels like, i hope it's not just on the aeroche brand and there's some fans somewhere cos i know an abrasive 7 minute banger isn't on everyones xmas list
October 5, 201410 yr For the purposes of irony, it would be amazing if the first Asian Pop winner isn't a Daehun entry!
October 5, 201410 yr Author Sick Beat needs to do SOOOO much better than that, the Mario influences :wub: FINALLY some modicum of hype! (i did initially think it could do well, but i think i should keep a low expectation for this month~)
October 5, 201410 yr For the purposes of irony, it would be amazing if the first Asian Pop winner isn't a Daehun entry! LOL. The shade that oricon is about to throw you. 10/1! 6/1! I'M GIDDY
