March 12, 20205 yr OMG I won the semi?!!! Stefanie Heinzmann Queen of the BJSC semi finals and dropping in the final (not as bad as On Fires 3rd in the semi to 30s in the final!)
March 12, 20205 yr Congrats Rob!!!! Big thanks to leww for the hosting and the 18 :wub: and @Jade is this the first Áskissnia pointswap i see?
March 12, 20205 yr Would just like to say it's getting a little irritating having Rich start out the contest predicting me top 5/10 only for me to just about slink into the top 20 - this is not how you manage expectations! That said, this month was just ultra competitive so I will take the non floppage and what looks like 2/2 in the "barely gets out of the semi finals" stakes this year. Andromeda has got to be one of the most talked about and raved over songs of the year in Eurovision circles so I’d certainly assumed that would translate here. That said, the only thing that I was a little hesitant about is that it’s not super dissimilar to my DNQ from Dolcenera a couple of years back, maybe Italian power pop isn’t as much of a thing in BJSC as it should be. As an aside, I find that odds have become much harder to do of late and they are never going to be spot on, certainly with absolutely nothing to go on. Maybe it’s more interesting for me not to do them, not sure, the unpredictability of this contest was pretty exciting.
March 12, 20205 yr Am I correct in saying that the majority of that top 10 were also top 10 last contest too? How unlikely!
March 12, 20205 yr Am I correct in saying that the majority of that top 10 were also top 10 last contest too? How unlikely! BLOC BOTING!!!!
March 12, 20205 yr Omg my highest position in forever :wub: Can't begrudge Rob winning either, a bop!!
March 12, 20205 yr Congrats Rob! What a crazy long run between victories. As for the song tho, ewwwww. Make that second contest this year I've not voted for the top 2. Did throw some points to bronze tho this time. This is the first time my favourite song in the final finished last. Always one of the best things about BJSC is discovering (+ loving) an entry from a genre I seldom like but THIS is what I want see more of from the K-Pop spectrum, rather than the endless conveyor belt of absolute noise from the 10 billion girl groups that seem to exist. Not a vintage contest for me, very few songs I'll be going back to.
March 12, 20205 yr Hard agree on Daehun, I expected 'Way Back Home' to be an easy non-qualifier so I'm not surprised at it finishing last nor being the song that got lucky but it's so lush to listen to. I'll remember it being in BJSC a lot more than most entries. Most Asian pop is a lot more like that than the K-Pop and J-Pop that gets international attention.
March 12, 20205 yr Big win there, decent song though so I can't complain! Shame to see Vulkyria so low down but at least they didn't come last. Also a real shame Charlie didn't live up to the hype but I did think it was a slightly strange choice of contender, glad it finished respectably at least. Thanks for hosting once again Leww!
March 12, 20205 yr Am I correct in saying that the majority of that top 10 were also top 10 last contest too? How unlikely! You're right, 6/10 are the same as last month - a quick scour of the old spreadsheet reveals this is only the second time ever that more than half of the top 10 countries are the same as the previous contest, the last time going all the way back to BJSCs 5 & 6 (which also had 6/10 repeats). Much more unusual this time considering there are nearly twice as many total entries as there were in those two contests! I did notice that Rich's first post in the odds & predix thread - 'Hendinia, Aeroche and FARC are frontrunners and Jadakissnia following behind' - felt basically like a rehash of last month :lol:
March 12, 20205 yr Bottom 10, but I made the final, so no complaints from me. Congrats to Rob on the win and thanks to everyone who voted Aesthetica. Aesthetica is cancelled. How can you cancel something that can barely even be considered started? :P
