Posted February 25, 20188 yr Deandria is currently preparing to potentially (:basil:) return for another contest next time with a song she's been into for ages but for now, she would just like to ask this question. First of all, this is not specifically a thread intended for the depths of bitterness and despair if a potential of yours has been sent by someone else and won :o I do remember finding out that my winner 'Sanctuary' was a missed potential for Altyr Muunilinst oops... I've just been thinking about it because I have found that generally, when I have a potential and for some reason or other I just kinda leave it and it gets sent by someone else, it tends to do really well! Here are all the examples I can remember: BJSC 80: Caravan Palace - Lone Digger (2nd for Kluminican Republic) BJSC 91: Tearist - Headless (12th for Jadakissnia) BJSC 92: Paradis - Toi Et Moi (5th for Trifoski) [i was absent this contest but was slightly keeping an eye on things] BJSC 93: Eivør - Í Tokuni (5th for Land of DW) Japan vs South Korea spin-off: Kagura - Sui-Ren (winner for Land of DW) [i admit this was only a potential for a very brief time as I was looking for something for the spin-off] The current Beaverdonia entry was also a potensh of mine so it's going to do really well :P #psychicM.
February 25, 20188 yr oh loads haha so many. probably would have done better in 2015 & 2016 instead of sending a lot of bottom 10 in the final songs :kink: some of mine... Meg Myers - Sorry (should have signed up in early 2015 now oops) Sandra Lyng - Play My Drum (again before I joined and these two were the reason I finally joined lol :') ) 2016 Aelyn - Give Love A Try - Won for Pupok obviously... was my alternative potesh against Dive! Willa - Hey - - finished 2nd for Altyr No Wyld - Let Me Know finished 4th for Medhelnia MSTR Rogers - I'll Take You Hotel Garuda - Smoke Signals Nakita - Where Are You Catey Shaw - The Ransom (Tommy Walker Remix) 2017 2 of these I had down as potentials in 2016 mind you.. KREAM - taped up heart Oliver Moldan - High & Low VINAI - into the fire
February 25, 20188 yr Amanda Delara from 101 and Vera Blue from this current contest spring to mind immediately.
February 25, 20188 yr Amanda Delara from 101 and Vera Blue from this current contest spring to mind immediately. :) Amy Shark - Adore from 102 is one I would've entered if I knew it wouldn't be veto'd :lol:
February 25, 20188 yr :) Amy Shark - Adore from 102 is one I would've entered if I knew it wouldn't be veto'd :lol: It's been on my list for ages too :lol: My Indigo last contest was something I strongly considered. It's actually relatively rare though that something pops up that I was strongly set on sending at some point. But of course many entries have appeared that I might have mulled over for a few seconds before passing on. It doesn't bother me at all when my potentials are sent though because it satisfies my curiosity as to how they would perform...sometimes I miss out on a big hit, sometimes I swerve a flop/DNQ so it's all relative.
February 25, 20188 yr Plenty of my potentials have been sent :lol: From off the top of my head: Britt Nicole - Through Your Eyes My Indigo - My Indigo Little Big - Lolly Bomb Schwarz - Home
February 25, 20188 yr It's not happened to me yet (although someone did enter an artist who got vetoed when I tried), but I know somebody said that they had been considering Bleachers (Suedeonia's winning entry) when I entered that.
February 25, 20188 yr Doesn't happen tooooo often as my potentials are usually fairly obscure songs that I wouldn't expect anyone else to have come across let alone wanted to send but a few times I can remember / have reminded myself of by looking at my voting history: BYRTA - Andvekur (an inspired Faroese language song that went on to be a top 10 hit for Pavel, I literally flipped a coin to decide between sending this and Orphic Oxtra :lol: partially worth it) Christine And The Queens - Saint Claude (I love 'Christine'/'Tilted' as well but still think this is better, should have been her hit both in BJSC and IRL!!) Elizabeth Rose - The Good Life (a middling hit for Cadelicia, deserved better x) FRANKIE - New Obsession (yes really!!1 I came across this and thought it was really good for a pure pop song and thought I might send it just to shock everyone xx ended up being a middling UVland hit) George Maple - Vacant Space (a top 10 for Florina <3) Grace Mitchell - Jitter (had this in my list as a possible rare pop entry as well, did ok for FLJ) HAIM - Forever (obviously before they got big, and this DNQed although did pretty well in Rejects) Iiris - Tigerhead (Oslol's best entry!!1 I dodged a bullet with this I guess as it DNQed but God knows why...) Kacy Hill - Experience (I gave this one to Bal x Pretty middling hit) Marmozets - Play (I probably wasn't ever going to send this but I did have it on my list. Again DNQed but did very well in Rejects (winning this time)) Mz. 007 - Important (no comment) Ou Est Le Swimming Pool - Dance The Way I Feel (was going to send this as an archive~ entry but never got around to it, Medhelnia eventually did a couple of years later and came 2nd with it) Slow Magic - Girls (a flop in the end sadly, I wanted to send either this or 'Youth Group' but kinda knew they wouldn't do too well) Also Alien Alien - Sambaca was taken by someone in Unknown Pleasures (Cal I think?)
February 25, 20188 yr George Maple Hero was one of mine too - in fact I'd just tried to enter her for 100 but been vetoed lol
February 25, 20188 yr Stanger, Higher, Makes a King, and that Fyg Faem song sent by Jachq. Whilst I kicked myself over the first two, the Jachq and Suedonia songs flopped :kink: , so I was glad they sent them instead. With Stanger and Higher, I was LITERALLY thinking about sending them for the months they were sent and smashed. Instead I sent two huge flops, as I thought they would do better :lol: :lol: Still, shows we can be right on point! Also, Peggy and Pat - the 2008 Slap Remix got sent by someone else :/ I switched to Mad Donna and that got top20, though, so not too bad
February 25, 20188 yr This has happened twice to me. Both times I lost out to a big hit and instead DNQed :lol: the first instance was in BJSC 77 when me and Altyr Muunilinst both had our eye on Koven - 'Get This Right'. I was not able to confirm quickly due to a sad event in the family so I was beaten to it. Koven came 3rd (I had to wait 11 more contests for my first top 3 instead :lol:) while I DNQed with Muhsinah's 'Luv W Luv', my worst entry :kink: then the second time it happened was when #00274E sent Delta Heavy's 'Ghost' in BJSC 80! I actually wasn't beaten to it, I was fully intending to send Stranger Cat that month and just had it as a potential purely because of the iconic video :lol: but then the song itself MASSIVELY grew on me in the contest and I was kicking myself as it went on to win, while 'Unzip Your Skin' DNQed, argh!! Some of my artists overlap a bit as well, for example I had Baby Blood and LUNA as potential artists before Persephonia sent them to the contest, but I don't think I ever would've got round to sending either so I'm pleased. Another one that comes to mind is Summericia with Prince Rama! A shame they DNQed.
February 25, 20188 yr I had 'Waves' by Perttu feat. Alexandra as a potential a few months before Greenfroze sent it. Finished in 30th which was higher than the 41st I had that contest but I don't regret passing on it. Biggest regret was giving 'Platinum Chains' to FSR Rontvia, I was so sure it would flop but it finished in 4th. Though it helped that Rich had the idea to make a radio edit. That's all I can think of at the moment, it doesn't happen often.
