March 2, 20187 yr I’ve never sent a song I don’t like tbh. I think I’ve only chased hype once maybe and that was with “Palette” but it was a pretty ‘Cadelicia’ entry anyway. I’d even go as far to say that “Tunak Tunak Tun” was hype chasing considering how meme-y it was! :lol: I’ve sent a wide range of genres, both songs that could do well and songs I expect to bomb. Just because I don’t stick to a signature sound and like to branch out and try new things doesn’t mean I chase hype. It’s not my fault that since the inclusion of Plug.dj my songs nearly always do well there and never as well in the actual contest, therefore buildings my confidence in my songs. I actually thought you enjoyed most of entries even in a “it’s ok but not BAD” way but I guess I was mistaken. :(
March 2, 20187 yr If anything Oliver, hype-chasing was referring to how it's easy for you to get hype and then fail which I notice more with you and is a little unfortunate for you so I sympathise! Combined with how I know I must be off a little with you and your music taste between what I know of it outside and what you send to BJSC because I should like your entries more than I do. I was just quickly looking through the entry lists of everyone to get a feel - a 5 in general is something along the lines of about 15% I really like, 40% are enjoyable enough and the remaining half aren't for me, I made my scores fairly harsh. Which is close enough to how it is, I probably noticed things like Feed Me a bit more than Tielsie when I was making the judgement.
March 2, 20187 yr Izzac, Swedish Angels ended my DNQ to almost every contest and started a massive Qualifying streak *.*

Apologise for snapping if that’s what you meant by hype chasing, I thought you were implying I deliberately pick my entries based on how wel they’ll do! :lol:
March 2, 20187 yr good score and comment to start off! Thank you Iz :heart: it's no fun playing it safe! One thing I've noticed since I've read your comment is that I rarely send a foreign-language entry (particularly Asian entries which I think has never happened) despite the fact I'm often pointing foreign-language songs! Maybe that's something to try out this year :hmm:
March 4, 20187 yr OK, I'll go~ I tried comments, but I'd just be repeating myself and it wouldn't be particularly enthralling to read and Iz summed it up for each country better than I did so the score speaks for itself and I decided to find a choice cut from each country - if you click your country name, you will find a single entry that I've really enjoyed from all of you, spin-offs, chart hits and entries from before my time do count, yeah I cheated a bit but oh well, at least it's consolation prize if you got a low score :magic: As for the scoring itself, it's completely arbitrary but it's ROUGHLY based on how much I've enjoyed your entries and pointed them for the duration of my time in the contest. I tend to like left-field genres so countries that sent that tended to get a higher mark. Don't be put down by a low score, it just means you just haven't fully captivated me as a nation yet, and in most cases, I'm expecting one right back :P 08 07 10 05 04 06 03 06 04 04 07 03 05 06 BuzzJack Mountain 08 07 08 06 Cor Lupus 04 10 06 06 08 07 07 06 09 09 09 (no one could anger a plug room quite like your entries *_) 07 09 FSR Rontvia 02 10 05 07 05 08 06 10 03 Jayrusalem 03 03 06 09 07 08 08 07 08 06 01 05 10 N DNTN 05 04 Niceland 07 05 05 09 06 11 07 10 05 07 08 05 République d'Ashton 05 01 02 08 08 10 09 04 06 Suedeonia 07 03 07 Terra Avium (too many to choose from xx) 03 06 08 05 10 04 Ultraviolenceland 05 (wth is it with Cosmo's Midnight glorious entries DNQing here? :() 01 05 07 07 07 03 09 (aside: We can end this now right? Thanks Iz *. I will make up that points deficit eventually)
March 4, 20187 yr Yay, glad to be up there as a 10 for you Chez after just a few years :wub: our taste is very similar though I suppose! Currently listening to 'Arcade Summer' thanks to you linking it, what a beaut! Will have to go through the rest of your choices at some point.
March 4, 20187 yr my thumbs were too big and I accidentally clicked bridgecow’s lmao but YES, more appreciation for Way Of Life, hoping more Touhou remixes surface in the main contest soon!
March 4, 20187 yr Tom <3 also loving that Pogo is a highlight of mine for you - not sure I realised before now!
March 4, 20187 yr 'Way Of Life' is so stunning *.* pleased to see some love for it so far from both people who have rated. I will never understand how that one did so badly for Cor Lupus </3 probably my 3rd favourite of yours behind 'LAX (Mr.Kitty Remix)' and 'Weekends'!
March 4, 20187 yr I support ending this now as well tbh. :wub: (I shall try and do this rate some time today/tomorrow xx I didn't read through all of Iz's comments yet but will do that soon also, thank you for the glowing review besides the continuing uncalled for Aron Can shade x) I approve that song choice ofc Chez, #instrumentalbloc x
