October 11, 201410 yr you just need to go with your gut. i don't know how many times a song i've considered has been sent alongside a song i've entered (worst case scenario was me getting my worst result ever when the other song went on to win) but you have to just root for urself and the songs u love and not think about what could've been I agree. If I were you Math, I'd always go with the song that you love the most, regardless of the feedback of others (remember that a straw poll of 4 or 5 members out of around 60 participants means very little at the end of the day). Send the entry that you can get 100% behind and feel absolutely happy to have it as your entry above any other. That way you'll never have any regrets. Sure there have been songs I've considered which have been entered and gone on to do better than my own entries that month but it never bothers me if that song was only my 2nd/3rd choice anyway. However, if I sent a 2nd choice because I thought it might do better and somebody entered my first choice and went on to get a better result then THAT would irritate me, so I never let that happen. But then again I have absolutely no regrets sending the likes of [thou shalt never be mentioned again] and A Grade Playa, because they're among my favourite songs of the past year or so and I'm proud to have them in my catalogue of entries, regardless of the fact that they both went down like a lead balloon. I'd have had regrets if I hadn't sent them because I'd have felt like I hadn't done my duty in at least attempting to push these amazing songs onto a wider audience!
October 11, 201410 yr Séyetana points :wub: Yeah, we're getting closer to some final points that sort of way. :D Lovely different entry, shame it couldn't make much of an impact.
October 11, 201410 yr re: semi 1 boo at Vanilla DNQing -_- although I knew that was coming. Andy C DNQing is still a bit WTF. Would've liked Nause to Q too. Also Tartford and Ultraviolence to a lesser extent (and so close for UV, you'll Q one day!)
October 11, 201410 yr +8 Isconia // School of Seven Bells "I Got Knocked Down (But I'll Get Up)" +4 Hendinia // T-ara "Sugar Free" +3 Séyetana // Amaranthe "Drop Dead Cynical"

October 11, 201410 yr I am chuffed at getting 46 points for such a long song - I think thats the best I have done in a while! Thanks KYNP for the 12, ALTM for the 10 and UTOP for the 8 :D Onwards and upwards next month (hopefully). I'm ever the optimist.
October 11, 201410 yr ⭐03 Quintessa ⭐Vanilla | Who Gets Your Love ⭐02 N-Lazone⭐Nataša Bekvalac | Nikotin ⭐01 Republic Of Adonia⭐Andy C | Heartbeat Loud Feat. Fiora Overall i'm happy with my whole top 7 qualifying, however, it's going to be pretty tuff ordering votes for final :snif:
October 11, 201410 yr Congrats Lexico ~ 12 QUALIFIED 10 QUALIFIED 8 QUALIFIED 7 TARTFORD 6 TERRA DI CAMPIONI 5 QUALIFIED 4 QUALIFIED 3 LAND OF DW 2 SKALL 1 QUALIFIED 12th Quintessa 14th Republic of Adonia 18th Bignia-Zaragovina 19th Budtar 22nd Utopia 23rd PRoJ 24th Ultraviolenceland 25th Jukianië 26th Greenfroze 28th Unovia 29th N-Lazone Can't complain too much here, would have been nice for at least a couple more of the ones I voted for to get through but at least my top 3 were all safe and pretty much all of the not-so-good songs are gone! And from my 'would-be' semi 2 top 10 (didn't make a full rank): 12 QUALIFIED 10 QUALIFIED 8 QUALIFIED 7 VARAKË 6 QUALIFIED 5 QUALIFIED 4 QUALIFIED 3 QUALIFIED 2 QUALIFIED 1 FLORINA Even less complaints there, only really the Varakë racism messing it up with the rest going almost flawlessly.
October 11, 201410 yr Only Bellamia (5 points) and Sandeborg (3 points) missed out on mine. Great results overall.
October 11, 201410 yr Wow, 2 12s and a 10, thanks you guys (and the other 4 of you)! I think I'm quite pleased with that result, closer to qualifying than I would have expected. ^_^ Still getting final withdrawal symptoms though, gonna have to pick right for the last contest.

Would have got 8 or 10 if I'd been voting in Semi 1, I didn't realise Zero 7 had even made a comeback recently! :o Flop fan indeed.
