Blimey that is SOME score for Medhelnia. I mean it was a good song but not THAT good :P Many congtrats tho mdh, knew it was only a matter of time before your first victory after coming close twice now!

 

Fantastic to see Aeroche in 4th, for sure a song like that was best entered under your stewardship!

 

Holy f*** at that progression for Yalla, I could have legitimately qualified at its expense if it were further down my own votes :o no chance of that ever happening though as it was a big highlight of this contest.

As far as I'm aware, that's a new record?

I'm sorry but HOW THE HELL is Harmonica last place?!?!

I don't know but it's our best result since March so we're certainly not complaining! :jump: Breaking my DNQ streak was truly all I wanted but I suppose I wasn't reaching as high as I could there :kink:

 

Amaaaazing winner, thrilled to see Aeroche & Klum in the top 5 and Botanikka so close to top 10! And I'm also pleased that the mysterious Helgon turned out to be Syndare, thought it was too good to be true! Well, onwards and upwards for 99.

Ooh another 18! Thanks Suedey!

I tried to enter Banners last year but was vetoed :( This was easily the best song of the contest for me.

All votes double counted and verified (that took less time than I expected :P), and apologies to Wardy / anyone else who may have hoped I was a point out on something, but the scoreboard I posted is correct, hooray ~

I know I'm flopping when even Suedeonia snub me :kink:

Sorry, the song just didn't do anything for me :(

VERY good turnout after a slightly :/ qualifying stage. My only real flops were Dive and My Yute :D

Still very much aggrieved that I was denied my first ever Top 10 position by a single point! :o

So yes, well done to mdh on a first winner after coming 2nd twice before! I did like 'Elizabeth Taylor' a fair amount though not near enough to make my points in a strong final (it was only 28th in my rank) but I can totally see why it had the appeal it did, cannot argue with a 123 point lead! The song has ended up not quite breaking any records as far as I can tell but it's very close to quite a few records, as I shall ramble about in my national thread soon... (and it will of course be the #1 song of the year in the YTD :magic:)

 

I'm really pleased that 3 of my top 4 songs made the top 10 here - especially Cumulonimbia, a very very rare hip-hop top 10 hit in BJSC, and that's all male vocals and no real pop chorus :o I guess the lyrical themes may have helped more people here relate to it than normally would do with other similar songs. 'Innerbloom' actually making it as high as 5th as well is fantastic for a 9 and a half minute song :wub: 8th is slightly underwhelming for 'Feria Festival' after the hype but it could have been far worse. The rest of the top 10 is more of a mixed bag, only one other song I voted for and that was only one point (but yass at 'Eclipse' being top 3 anyway, well deserved), and although both songs grew on me a bit I am pretty lost as to how Aeroche and Hushkanukia have done so well this time, especially the latter being their 2nd biggest hit ever! Genuinely thought it was gonna be another 32nd place smash for them :o Whoops at Zanmatony being 11th twice in a row as well, I'm sure that elusive top 10 hit can't be far from you though.

 

Elsewhere, fab to see Buzzjack Mountain getting a first top 20, 26th place is alright enough for Land of DW though was hoping for a bit better, Espen deserved way better but honestly I'm still amazed they even qualified so they could certainly have done a lot worse than 35th. Jadakissnia, FARC, Aelandor, Avalonia, Cadelicia, Trifoski, Quintessa all deserved way better too, y'all are hoes at those ones. x Quintessa actually coming below Terra Avium is quite the shock, a good use of an AQ from them after all, would have been a real shame if the gorgeous 'Heaven' had been entered without the AQ status and DNQed! :cry:

 

Jupiterdonia's progression is indeed breaking the record - projected 39th to 6th for a +33 progression, previous record was only +28! Also, I noticed Harmonica getting a ton of trickle points, to the extent that despite finishing last by a mile, there were actually 8 other countries that got fewer votes :o

 

Thanks to Leonardo for being a great host (even throughout a painfully slow computer :P) and thanks again to everyone who voted for Dead Husband *.* x

Woah that's a huge landslide! Well done Medhelnia, aww at Persephonia falling out in the last bstvh of votes, it was looking so good just a shsme a few of theirs supporters couldn't be revealed in the final batch, oh well. Wow at Botanikka, I know I gave it a 7 after hyping them so I'm glad that helped them rise to 12th! Boo at Aelandor being so low, my 2nd consecutive 18 pointer :(

 

Wd to Pupok, Hendinia & Klum tho. All fab entries (even though Hendinias actually grew on me).

 

Was hoping Mack wouldn't predictably end up that low tho as I thought the 'this is unlike them' factor may have actually boosted them to do quite well, never mind!

 

Looking forward to next contest with my track!

Well done to everyone. Sorry I didn't vote, it honestly didn't even cross my mind until just now. I'm gonna take another month off BJSC (obviously, since I'll be banned) and come back for 100. Will probably take a break from the contest after that, I've just kinda lost the spark I had for it a year ago.

Boo at Aelandor being so low, my 2nd consecutive 18 pointer :(

Oh yeah of course, I feel honoured! :o

 

Huge thanks for that, like I say I loved yours and I wish I could've helped your song out more. #Summlandor

OH WOW, I'm absolutely delighted to have come 3rd - sure enough the odds kept predicting it but I did think it'd be end up coming low top 10 (which would still have been fabulous, but a top 3 is obviously even better). Passing 300pts and being in a battle for 2nd throughout kept it fun catching up. It's been a really relaxing contest in general, never predicted above 3rd but consistently predicted to do well, plenty of 18/15 and 13s that made me 'ooh' and actually finishing where predicted.

 

All in all, thanks to the mods for vetoing me and allowing me to find a fantastic song out of NOWHERE in half an hour, worked out well :')

 

Great hosting from Leo, very concise and easy to follow, can't be faulted. And congratulations to MDH aswell, I thought you'd already won for some reason but even better that you were able to grab your debut win in such a style!

Great hosting Leo!! I think I forgot to say earlier but wanted to let you know you did a great job.

Great hosting Leonardo + congrats mdh!

I'm happy with 26th (no, this is not a flop), the backward reveal was a bit evil, at a point I thought I'll finish in the bottom 3 (falling from the 'top' would've been worse tho).

 

 

 

 

200 points - that's a nice round number! :D Thanks everyone!

Congrats mdh and great hosting Leo!

Idg why the winner is such a runaway winner bht covnrats nontheless

 

Was hoping for a lil' more than 25th for Sophia, but still pleased

 

Edit: Omg at me nearly not even qualifying

Thanks for hosting Leo, great show.

 

I think the reason Elizabeth Taylor was such a runaway winner is because it's so easily accessible and has such vast crossover appeal, as opposed to being an absolutely outstanding song. I gave it 18 though so it was obviously my favourite in the contest - it is brilliant and I'm happy for mdh.

 

Interesting results, nice to see Hushkanukia grab a top ten! and yasss at Pupok 2nd too *.* Shame Jadakissnia is so low, the track is really magical.

Oh wow. There's a song we vastly underestimated when working out of we should veto it!!!

 

Congrats mdh!!!!

Um, surely how well a song ultimately does has nothing at all to do with whether it's worthy of a veto?

Wow, I didn't expect Kevin Abstract to do so well! Thanks to all those who voted for him -and congrats to mdh for the win. It was just outside my votes, the piano house sound is very popular here (see: Blonde) so it is no surprise that it won really.
