August 21, 20168 yr I did think Higher would do well, but wasn't quite anticipating that landslide. Guess I missed something with it, but I'm very happy for you, Cody as it's a new country winning and I know that this will mean a lot to you! (now no more flopping posts plz x) Shame for Technique, would've been a wonderful winner as it's one of the most unique entries I've seen in BJSC lately! Shame Rontvia didn't quite do as well as I thought, I guess my own love for it was blinding my judgement haha, but fab to see it top 5, it is a rather niche genre after all. Also great to see Jadakissnia top 10, I thought I'd be alone in loving that, Persephonia doing well x and a lot of my own votes not totally flopping! Wonderful hosting, Lotti (and Tim!), I loved the scoreboard reveal from the bottom (definitely more so than the all points clumped together one) and the inventive use of gifs :P
August 21, 20168 yr YAS Cody. Well done <3 Fully hyping a Cor Lupus hosted BJSC right now :cheer: Great hosting Lotti! Really enjoyed the reveal.
August 21, 20168 yr Am I right in thinking that all but 1 winner this year so far (FARC) is a first-timer? (Bré help) This is right btw! And all of those first time winners had waited a while before their first win so it's not like there's just been a bunch of newcomers swooping in and winning straight away.
August 21, 20168 yr Great to see The Naked & Famous do it for you Cody like they did for me back in the dark ages in July 2010 with “Young Blood” on the very first Unknown Pleasures. Congrats!

August 21, 20168 yr 'Higher' has also matched the record for most votes in the final (also set by 'Save It'). I knew it was a song that was gonna get points right across the board but not sure I was expecting it to do THIS well!
August 21, 20168 yr Just caught up been in weymouth with family... Fab contest tim and lotti and the final reveal was so the right way to go :cheer: Well done cody its a great track! Finally thanks to all the lovely singerpurear voters esp 2 top markers seven and mdh :wub: i love you all for taking us from 16th in the semi to 12th in the final! Just goes to show how random the semis can be totally down to who is in which semi and dnqers could quite easily do quite well in a final. Our 3rd biggest entry after kishi bashi and sandra and in a very competetive contest :yahoo:
August 21, 20168 yr Congrats Cody!!!! Got to say that's probably one of the best top 10's we've had for years. That top 7 tho is outstanding. Pavel's song is still growing on me, if the final was next week it'd probably get my 18, it was no where near my points in the Semis. Glad I didn't lose out on qualifying to something that I pointed, although that would be easier to take than being narrowly beaten by something I hated. (No Greenfroze points tho :( ) Thanks for hosting Lotti & Tim! You guys did a bang up job!! When you've come down from cloud 9 Cody imma need dates of you for your contest.
August 21, 20168 yr I think Rob can start preparing himself for a possible AQ coz I don't think I can participate in the next contest for a couple of reasons.
August 22, 20168 yr Omg Cody yes....I am so happy for you :wub: And thanks everyone who voted for queen of music Vita Chambers :) Also I am very happy that all my upper voted finished top 10...quality was insane this month. Can't wait for next contest...this time I am definitely sending 90's lol and I know I keep saying this all the time.
August 22, 20168 yr This is right btw! And all of those first time winners had waited a while before their first win so it's not like there's just been a bunch of newcomers swooping in and winning straight away. Queue jumping the old fogies like Unovia, Ramrynia and ourselves in the process :cry:
August 22, 20168 yr Thanks to everyone who voted for Die Antwoord, happy to return to the top 10 and incredibly pleased to see Aeroche and FKA Pi get top 5! :dance: Well done to Cody as well!
August 22, 20168 yr Queue jumping the old fogies like Unovia, Ramrynia and ourselves in the process :cry: and poor Espen, Tinnmark, Ojnoj, Seyetana and especially Danaelanda (:ph34r:) who've also been here for ages and not won :(
August 22, 20168 yr Thank you for the votes, we were bottom for a LONG time there Lotti, haha! For the first time since entering for the first time I know exactly what song I want to put in for 88. Bring it on!
August 22, 20168 yr Well done Cody! Loved your song (shh Iz) and it was a well deserved win. Great hosting from Lotti and Tim! Also yw to all the people who thanked me for points, glad to see Taahino continue with their consistent results though I would've loved to see them top 10. <\3
