January 17, 20179 yr I'm almost certain that I'm DNQ'ing this month. Back to something more mainstream then
January 17, 20179 yr Also are we not certain that a lot of the Asian entries will just end up cancelling themselves out? Idk that's just my theory
January 17, 20179 yr Aren't the dance-pop entries going to cancel each other out? Aren't the indie-pop ballady entries going to cancel each other out? Same principle. (except two of those songs are probably more similar than my entry is to Manamoo (which is a Paramore vs Girls Aloud like comparison), for example, so kind of even more pronounced) Cancelling out is something that rarely is a thing in BJSC because people don't have quotas of genres they vote for, if they like two similar songs they give high points to both of them and both do well.
January 17, 20179 yr though there was that one contest where my semi was wall-to-wall bland dancepop and I got so sick of 'em I reacted and gave preference to non-dance just for being different...so did others and the result was a dance bloodbath. The next contest was noticeably less-dance-oriented :lol:
January 17, 20179 yr I know personally that I do try to vary the genres that I vote for, If I have to cut down my votes I'll usually remove songs that are of a similar genre so that I end up with a variety
January 17, 20179 yr Author i'll always send whatever but i always try to just make sure it sounds quite 'me' so it'll stick out apart from the odd non-descript one
January 17, 20179 yr I feel like it's going to end up with the results presenting relatively small margins between the DNQ line and somewhere around the top ten.
January 17, 20179 yr I'm really behind my entry this month, the most I can remember in ages and with 20/31 qualifying I'd be rather disappointed to miss out eek!

I promise I'll DNQ in February.
January 19, 20179 yr All these DNQ predictions for my awesome song :(There is absolutely NO WAY you are DNQ-ing! I will be absolutely shocked (and will start the riots for you) if you were to in fact DNQ!

In Semi 1 Bellamia, Syndare, Bhangra, Ajanaeda and Azure also sound like Qs, and actually there's not a single song in the semi I'd completely rule out of having a chance...BLOODBATH! In Semi 2 Singerpurear and Terra Avium both NEED to get through but I'm just not sure...Hendinia's also sounds like a likely Q...just not enough spots!
