November 24, 20195 yr I've had 8/10 qualifiers in each of the last 2 years and will match that again this year if I can manage to sneak through this time ~ (on the other hand if I DNQ it'll be my first year with 3+ DNQs since 2013 so let's not let that happen).
November 24, 20195 yr I've never had more than 2 DNQs in a single year before so it'd be nice to Q this time so I can avoid that again!
November 24, 20195 yr Author 'BB' samples 'Viva Forever'? Is it extremely subtle or am I just deaf? I've never noticed that and I must have listened to that song at least 15 times already! (My sense is that song won't be a win contender but hopefully at least a return to top 10, it is better than 'O' and that came 9th so x) It’s distorted and definitely subtle but I noticed it immediately on first listen. You can just about make out the ‘ever searching’ bit in the high pitched bit, including in the intro. It’s a very clever sample. Can't wait for that 4th consecutive DNQ I think you should q quite easily this time! And should be a top 20 contender in the final.

November 25, 20195 yr Author Oops haha. I was so pleased with this entry too, was not expecting to be a no hoper at all. I’ve been hammering it so much though so probably lost all sense of objectivity by the 10th listen but to me the whole album is so beautiful and mesmerising, one of my finds of the year by a long way.

Gonna place that as a borderline in next in line: budtar, flynnonda, east rukh, rontvia, maybe me?
November 28, 20195 yr truly smh if Beaverdonia don't get in through that semi, but it wouldn't surprise me.
November 28, 20195 yr things that work against beaverdonia: it’s in a poppy semi things that work in beaver’s favor: it’s in a meh semi, only 8 DNQ slots (most of which are predicted to be locked in already) UPDATE: i think wholune can be borderline too things that work against it: deduction, which could send it into DNQ status if points are low enough (so early Rejects contender?) things that work in its favor: it’s in a poppy semi so it probably got enough points to qualify anyway

I feel like New Lexico is definitely one to watch but Fljótavík does sound like a winner, and so do Ultraviolenceland and Aeroche. Hopeful my entry will be higher up the table, but these are odds to win not odds for where I think things will finish.
December 3, 20195 yr I think Scherzland should be right up with Fljotavik and UVland, they seem more likely to me than Aeroche/NewLexico Those are pleasing odds for me too, hopefully after our 11th last time we can get on the right side of the top 10.
December 3, 20195 yr i absolutely agree dan. i would say the same for FARC which i think will be a megasmash
December 3, 20195 yr I am just going to bask in the rare great FLJ odds while they last! :lol: I really wasn't expecting it to be so well received (by the couple of people who do odds!) and it wouldn't surprise me if it underperforms, I'm expecting a fair amount of low to middle points scores as I can't imagine many people hating it but I also can't see it being many people's favourite song in the final either. I think it's a pretty strong field this time.
December 7, 20195 yr Predictions: Altyr surprise winner, UVLand second Oslol top 5 Aeroche to get 39+ points more than FARC to get YTD #1 Dobago finishes 19th Tartford avoids bottom 10
