January 29, 20178 yr I mean, let's not forget here that it was only 2 contests ago that Crystal Waters won in a very close contest after being pegged as a contender by literally no one (and to your earlier post about not having close contests any more, 'Fate' only won by 8 points even though it was a widely predicted winner!) I think in general the consensus on the winner happens BECAUSE it's on course to get a landslide when we get these kinds of 'obvious landslide winners', I don't think there's much effect the other way round, it's tempting to think that's the case especially when said big winner is not your own favourite but I think that's just a kind of confirmation bias. These are the contests I forget because they're so new. I also think the fact that I wasn't raving about those winners or anything in the battle itself made me forget them, besides, I want close contests to be the norm rather than the exception as XC was. And Relax just feels, odd anyway because old 90s hit, I mean, it's a good song as a winner but not something I think of as 'shock winner' because of that little thing. A shock (and ideal) winner for me has to have pretty much... literally nothing cheap about it as well as not being pegged as a contender. Ghost Loft is like the ideal all winners should strive for in order to get maximum entertainment out of a results show, and I think I'm justified in saying that because I don't think it's the best winner on quality, it's an alright song but it made up a perfect checklist of a shocking and out of the blue winner that I don't think anything else has quite matched before or since. I guess Cry For Freedom comes pretty close though.
January 29, 20178 yr #fakenews (sorry Phil :kink:) (the positive news is Aesthetica had 1 more point than posted xx) Apology rejected. 15 year ban implemented. See you for the 242nd contest!
January 29, 20178 yr Trap influence is there for sure, I can't really hear any trance though. To my ears it's witch house through and through though! Synths in chorus are very trancey imo. I know Crim3s are best known for making witch house though.

January 30, 20178 yr OMG 8 is not too shabby and my THIRD top 10 and only MY SECOND OFFICIAL top 10 after my other one was deducted out!! :wub: I congratulated Sam first in my super-early votes ^_^ Thanks Lew for this BJSC - it was amazing, presentation, timing, graphics, everythin!
January 30, 20178 yr all caught up congrats ultra loved the song sadness tho for no beaver win. absolutely incredible from start to finish I've not listened to anything else all week amazing presentation lew, f***kkkkk 💕 OMG thanks!! :wub: I love it too, great track!! Also, if it had been a Beaver win, my autoqualifier woulda been a treaaat!
January 30, 20178 yr MOAN. (altho that was kinda obvious about 2/3rds thru the results that it was a contender) That too for sure. Good times. (even if past me was a bit 'wtf is this shit' I love it now)
January 30, 20178 yr Author omg ive found something super good for 92 but not only is it in the discussion zone but its a self-recycle :'( i hate bein this uninspired but it is SO good
January 30, 20178 yr mostly good top 10, Aesthetica getting a well deserved smash i really grew to love I FEEEEL YOU *.* never any doubt about the winner though was there, congrats Sam! (Grouplove 3rd <3 mulgracia's been on a great run lately and i'm glad one of their recent gems cracked the top 5) thanks to the very few sensible people who voted AS Crust~
January 30, 20178 yr Beaverviolence top 2 :o 4 / 60 // DEANDRIA QUOTE hey, here are the votes from Deandria, thank you! cool.gif 18… Beaverdonia / Digitalism - Open Waters :wub: 26 / 60 // CADELICIA QUOTE Good evening Aeroche, this is your good friend Cadelicia calling. Here are the results of the Cadelician vote. 18 | BEAVERDONIA :wub: Big thanks to everyone who voted Beaver!!
January 30, 20178 yr Lowkey here for Michael to snatch this for the novelty of a Beaverdonia hosted contest *.* The best MESS possible. :lol: Hmmm, easyfun sounded very ordinary to my ears so I'm hoping this is just the misleading early vote in action, Beaverdonia/Ramrynia would make amaze winners though (:o at the former being that high). Persephonia & Altyr for top 10 pls (also let's not make #00274E's best entry in a long time be a flop). Kinda here for this Palmyra semi slayage as well *_* Thanks!!
January 30, 20178 yr Well, finishing on my first points from Beaverdonia since 'Habib Galbi', hooray for that :lol: thankooo Meekul x And that saved me from the bottom 10, 'yay'. I'm really disappointed with that position ngl as I had talked myself into being confident it'd come top 20 but can't do well every time I guess! Pretty similar showing to 'Thelema' in the end. Mental note to never have high expectations again. x Pleased to see Sirusho coming 2nd so my crystal ball wasn't too far off ignoring the gigantic landslide :kink: (but also a very good song so well deserved to match Ryan's peak - I'm sure you shall win one of these days). Fab to see Digitalism, Wonder Girls and CRIM3S top 10 as well, 'Open Waters' quite rightfully outdoing 'Blitz' and brilliant debut top 10s for both Travis and Roba :D Didn't really get St. Burbia's entry at all but fair play to them getting a first top 10 too and so close for Niceland as well, a very fresh feel to all of that top 10! Not sure what happened there with Yehesi, S Danaelanda, Cadelicia and Taahino :mellow: (also Unovia but that was pretty bad so not complaining at it being that low) Thanks for a fabuloussss hosting job as ever Leww <3 No way has it been so long!! :lol:
January 30, 20178 yr Wow, I somehow wouldn't have called UV winning despite Monopoly being a firm fave - congrats Sam! I probably would've predicted Ramrynia but at least they got to 2nd in the end. Also thrilled to see River in the top 5 and Open Waters in the top 10, and Thelonia getting their second best result! Sad to see Taahino, Unovia and Azure wayyy too low...at least Seven can say he beat his sister. :P As I've said I was shocked to qualify at all so top 30 is great for me. Great presentation Leww, especially loved the color scheme!
January 30, 20178 yr So, I got max points from BJMO in the semis and nothing in the final?? Not a long-lasting favourite, I guess...
January 30, 20178 yr Lmao at me getting 12 from Altyr in the semi and 0 from them in the final :lol: Lol. 10 from Cameron in the semi and 0 in the final. So, I got max points from BJMO in the semis and nothing in the final?? I also got 12 from Yehesi in the semi and nothing in the final. Spooky! :lol:
January 30, 20178 yr Y'all are bitter, people lose interest in songs. (I genuinely forgot to point James and I explained this to him.)
January 30, 20178 yr Y'all are bitter, people lose interest in songs. I wish people lost interest in commercial songs that quick, the charts would be much better! :lol:
