February 8, 20196 yr my only issue with White Lies winning is that it's kind of a popular and recognisable band already. but the song is really good + the video is brown cow stunning! I agree. I was slightly iffy on them being in the contest but it's been quite a while since they did anything noteworthy and if that track didn't make me sit up and pay attention...
February 8, 20196 yr The scores are all matching what I have added up so far so the Google form is doing its job! I am slightly worried about how the jury reveal is gonna go tho (but as long as we do get the votes posted right after it it'll all be fine xx) Klum Rep seems to be my obligatory song I hype as a winner contender that then flops. Oop

February 8, 20196 yr my only issue with White Lies winning is that it's kind of a popular and recognisable band already. but the song is really good + the video is brown cow stunning! Would be the first time in a while too, probably since maybe Cut Copy? :kink:
February 8, 20196 yr Jury vote not screw over New Lexico challenge! HA! (apologies Lex, your song wasn't entirely terrible for me x)
February 8, 20196 yr my only issue with White Lies winning is that it's kind of a popular and recognisable band already. but the song is really good + the video is brown cow stunning! same surprised it wasnt vetoed a bit tbh but then maybe they are less well known than I recall I was a big fan in like 2014
February 8, 20196 yr I mean if only that were the final score for New Lexico :ph34r: x (OK I'll stop shading it now) I think a song like Tokyo would do this well whoever the artist tbh, it sounds really massive.
February 8, 20196 yr White Lies' new album has charted at #14 which is like 3 sales these days. Don't think many people are really still checking for them, maybe not the most inspired entry in the final but not really veto-worthy imo x (would be a v worthy winner, FARC are overdue a win after so many near misses and this is their best entry for ages so I'm here for it)
February 8, 20196 yr Don't give a damn who wins but with this winner being crowned we can finally leave the bullying Lex special in the history books!
February 8, 20196 yr Would be the first time in a while too, probably since maybe Cut Copy? :kink: touché. but at least MMIAHOL wasn't a single (at the time)
February 8, 20196 yr I mean, White Lies were on the fringe of mainstream for about half a decade and I credit Radio 1 loving them to me knowing about them more than many others, but they've completely dropped off since 2014 at least so... eh. Not the worst offender.
February 8, 20196 yr Yeah White Lies are definitely more famous than many of the others BUT I can't pretend I'd have been searching for the track should it have not been entered so it was as much of a discovery for me as any of the others tracks.
February 8, 20196 yr what the f*** is this. espen AND holland-oats both out already?? they were all like top 10 after the main votes
