February 16, 201510 yr I'd say it's not outside the realms of possibility, with the semis being so focused, one being very dance-oriented, the other.. not, that we've lost a potential top 10 song tonight (and that probably wouldn't be me before anyone ACCUSES me of self-interest). And that's not good at all. There are just too many DNQs. I'm sure the results of the semis will be wildly different to the result in the final, I'm going to be very interested to see how different. If something that was 11th to 15th does incredibly well, that's just a bit too risky and random for me.
February 16, 201510 yr Having more DNQs than Qs just seems like such an EEK situation. I think in future if this happens again it might be a good idea to let a few more songs in. Anyhow qualification streak update thingy coming in a tic :magic:
February 16, 201510 yr Author I could have done 16/16, but I didn't think we needed to make the final any bigger. I guess if there is such big demand next month the host can do that.
February 16, 201510 yr I should probably stick to safer songs :kink: No! The contest dies if people play it safe. Just stick to sending what you absolutely f***ing adore and one day you'll strike gold. Literally.
February 16, 201510 yr YAY, kinda glad I wasn't here as I would've died at wondering if I was 16th AGAIN. Who says February's too early for a Halloween special? *.* Shocked I made it and not Seyetana though! (and quite sad as that was their best entry in ages :() I guess horror film/video game gimmicks are more effective than I thought :P DNQs: 05; Seyetana 04; Numayania 03; Singerpurear 01; Zechonia Overall, nowhere near as bad as I thought! Zechonia (we shall miss you </3) and Numayania were never gonna make it through, but they did well to get that high, Numayania's in particular was really great. Â
February 16, 201510 yr Qualification streaks update: A mere 14 countries qualified for both LXXI and LXXII, and only eight of them made LXX as well. It's looking lonely at the top for Daehun, Persephonia and FljótavÃk, then there's a gang of 5 more countries who are some way behind the top three but some way ahead of everyone else. 13 Daehun 13 Persephonia ~ 11 FljótavÃk ~ 6 #00274E ~ 5 Altyr Muunilinst 5 Aquafina 5 Danaelanda 5 D'yermak'er ~ 2 Espen 2 FARC 2 Hendinia 2 Ramrynia 2 Sandebörg 2 Yehesi ~ / 1 Aeondia 1 (Federal Republic of) Ashton 1 Bellamia 1 Bignia-Zaragovina 1 Desbuanda 1 Hushkanukia 1 Isconia 1 Jayrusalem 1 Jukianië 1 Kylienips 1 New Lexico 1 N-Lazone 1 Oslol 1 Skall 1 Terra Avium 1 Terra di Campioni 1 Utopia DEAD 9 Trifoski 6 Aeroche 5 Cadelicia 4 FSR Rontvia 3 Patvia 3 Syndare 2 Cumulonimbia 2 Florina 2 PRoJ 2 Republic of Adonia 2 Séyetana 2 Usfland 1 Botanikka 1 Ethanola 1 Harmonica 1 Llewandia 1 Quintessa 1 Unovia
February 16, 201510 yr Author I'm coming for you Bre. Do you hear me? I will use every cannon, every bomb, every bullet, every weapon I have down to my own eye teeth to end you! I swear it! (whoever gets this REF will have a free pass to final OR a bonus 12 points in the final if they are already there*) (* not legally binding)
February 16, 201510 yr I could have done 16/16, but I didn't think we needed to make the final any bigger. I guess if there is such big demand next month the host can do that. don't say that now !11
February 16, 201510 yr Absolutely astonished that Rontvia and Aeroche are out. Thought both were top 10 contenders! :o Oh and yay for GRRL PAL *.*
February 16, 201510 yr 12 //\\ Tinnmark - Pinne For Landet 8 //\\ Jamvale - Light Up The World 10 //\\ Q 7 //\\ Q 6 //\\ Q 5 //\\ Q 4 //\\ ProJ - Always Be With You 3 //\\ Q 2 //\\ Q 1 //\\ Ajanaeda - Touch Me  I am so gutted for Tinnmark. That song was straight up pectin. It came on at a critical part of my run today and I was dance running like a trooper. Oslol are sending emergency copies of Hard Candy over to Tinnmark as we speak. STAY STRONG. PRoJ was also amazing - I have a massive crush on Charlie Simpson, so I just imagined he sung it and all was well.   ALSO YAY FOR QUALIFICATION. I'm drinking vodka through my spiral straw cup in celebration  who am I kidding I was doing that anyway. Edited February 16, 201510 yr by imaduck
February 16, 201510 yr No! The contest dies if people play it safe. Just stick to sending what you absolutely f***ing adore and one day you'll strike gold. Literally. Have to second this just to make sure it gets heard. I very rarely send a song I don't love to pieces and I regret it every time I go with something that's lesser, especially if it fails or I've been trying to appeal to others more than myself (which is just about every August really). I'm still jamming to Lightshy hugely so in a way, its DNQ doesn't bother me too much, it just makes me even more determined to find something better and interesting to come back with next month.
February 16, 201510 yr No! The contest dies if people play it safe. Just stick to sending what you absolutely f***ing adore and one day you'll strike gold. Literally. I can confirm this. I got my best position last year from contemporary classical music sung in Swahili which was also from a PC game soundtrack.
February 16, 201510 yr Me saving Usfland from being a nul pointer tho. Unwritten rule of BJSC of late: someone always has to be that guy that prevents the first nul pointer from happening. :kink:
February 16, 201510 yr Shouldn't Séyetana be ahead of Unovia as they have a 7 and Unovia do not? (looking out for u Izzle) (fabulous semi hosting tho Jonathan ~)
February 16, 201510 yr I gave Singerpurear 7 of those. Â :(Â Thanks Iz! It was inevitably last (though I think everyone who didnt vote for it is mad not to love it) :P
