hm, I may have under predicted Altyr Muunilinst, they're definitely a top 10 though.

These aren't bad odds!

 

I guess BJ i more hurr for Dancedonia than Balladonia with the cornetto summer blues

Sad to see Mike Mareen and Girly so low :(

Why did I just get an update email for this thread?? I didn't suscribe.

Take my odds with a pinch of salt ok, I'm just trying to get the ball rolling :P

 

Hendinia, Farc and UVland sound more like big pop songs to me, it's hard to judge with the complete lack of hype for anything this month so far yet though.

 

I also think Aeroche probably won't win but top 5 seems highly likely.

 

And I reckon 'Anemo' sounds more suited to BJSC than UP.

 

If I ever did odds again that's the best way to do it, the most discussion happens around the first set.

 

Ameno I agree with you on, if either contest was going to punish its relative cheapness (90s hit, popular in new-age circles and a meme, not the most uninspired BJSC's ever had but for UP it really stood out) it would have been UP. Although perhaps that would have been the UP of yesteryear when it didn't have as much crossover with BJSC and they were really harsh on boycotting songs that danced up against that line. Also it DEFINITELY fits the vibe of alternative BJSC hit, not because it's alternative in any way but because it's wide-appealing and yet something different to modern pop/modern dance so will have people earmarking it for high points, perhaps even the people who normally only vote for one kind of thing to show they can 'vote for something different'.

 

(this sounds like I'm blasting it a little, I do really like it but after UP I'm probably sitting out on giving it points, also I get rather interested in the psychology of BJSC)

I like the look of those Seven odds *.*

omg !!!!!! i wasn't expecting winner contender but i'll take it (gotta get that winner of the year somehow :o)

I'm quietly confident this will be another big hit for me, but it almost certainly won't win. It's pretty much the archetypal Altyr entry in that respect.

If you bring back 'Qween', it may do your country's entries more favours with the voters in many nations across Buzzjackia. They need a Qween to look up to to give their points!

Oh my, that is great advice!!

I enjoy your optimism Dan but Go 2.0 definitely is not winning for me :lol: It's made me feel a bit more confident about where this track could go though, I was thinking it was too generic and might bomb. Who knows~

‘Go 2.0’ is an absolute tune - I thought about sending it the last couple of months, but held off because it sounded like the sort of song people would shun for being a “Spotify hit”. But if people now have it down as a top five potential, then I literally don’t know anymore! Having listened to the rest of the second semi though, it surely must have a chance. Picking a top ten is going to be seriously hard from that bunch.

This is gonna be the 2015 altyr muunilnst all over again isn’t it :drama:

 

At least I didn’t really think GO 2.0 was a potential

 

Wait that’s a bad thing I think idfk

there's absolutely 0 logic to this statement whatsoever... :blink:

I knew of GO 2.0 pre-contest too but didn't love it enough to consider it as a potential, however obvious a hit it sounds.

I never know what crosses the right side of being punished for sounding too generic/like a Spotify hit and what is good enough to get away with it these days, so Go 2.0 was definitely not an 'obvious hit' send for me but the positive comments are reassuring either way!

Hmm...more wide open than last month, I still think Raincheck sounds like a winner but Aeroche are due one and this could quite easily do it, it feels a lot bigger than that Crystal Waters song that won for example. So I'm on the fence for now between these two. Altyr very much in the mix too though and Cor Lupus sounds like the sort of thing they often do VERY well with. A lot of hype going behind Hendinia so I have to put that above the line too, even though I'd not have called it prior to the other odds going up.

Leww is giving me an entry envy...i consider myself a 90's dance child and how the hell did you find that song :wub:

It was UK top 20 in 1994 apparently, three years before I Love You...Stop achieved the same thing!

 

I'd heard of both by name/seen them in chart books but never got round to listening to either before now :o Both very good.

I thought past UK top 20 hits got automatically vetoed, or is that not a rule anymore? Didn't realise those songs made top 20 though, and I personally agree with the decision to not veto them.
