June 27, 20205 yr Make that 4 15s now! Thank you Harve :heart: (you were one of the few I was counting on to hopefully be a big fan but I find your taste one of the most unpredictable in this contest with regards to my entries so never taken for granted!) Thanks Dexton as well! Hopefully in good standing to maybe get another top 20 here.
June 27, 20205 yr In 2010 we had an edition of the contest with the country names removed and it was mostly still the usual suspects (of that era) finishing the highest. I vaguely remember that! I found the contest as a whole way more predictable then though. Like Mdice just sent the latest pop-friendly blog-pushed track - and there only seemed to be a limited number of standouts per month - and you knew where it was gonna finish.
June 27, 20205 yr Author And finally Lotunia and Dobago for our second-to-penultimate scoreset of the night. I should take this time to say, this has been a blast, despite the ridiculous amount of prep it took! Lotunia Here are the Lotunian votes: Honourable mentions ~ Jadakissnia: BETHY - UTOPIA! FARC: REYKO - Spinning Over You 01p | Rolloland: HAARM - Better Friend 02p | POPHub: Evangelia - Páme Páme 03p | Cadelicia: Offer Nissim - Better Man (feat. Meital De Razon & Riki Ben Ari) 04p | Thelonia: BRONSON - HEART ATTACK (feat. lau.ra) 05p | Greenfroze: Little Green Cars - My Love Took Me Down To The River To Silence Me 06p | Kluminican Republic: Brooke Candy - Volcano 07p | Hushkanukia: Call Me Loop - Strike 08p | Jupiterdonia: FM-84 - Bend & Break (feat. Ollie Wride) 09p | Harmonica: Overcoats - Fire & Fury 10p | Aesthetica: Full Tac - Where's My Juul?? (feat. Lil Mariko) 11p | Altyr Muunilinst: Nova Miller - Mi Amor 12p | United States of Jack: Olivia O'Brien - Josslyn 13p | Ultraviolenceland: Izzy Bizu - Faded 15p | Caerfyrddia: L.E.J - Pas L'Time 18p | Daehun: Apink - Dumhdurum I think this is the 1st time i've ever given a nation a second 18 pointer? Congratulations if so x Dobago 18: PERS 15: DANA 13: THEL 12: CADE 11: NEWL 10: SING 09: CAER 08: SUED 07: POPH 06: FARC 05: EAST 04: ALTY 03: TART 02: SCHE 01: BOTA Also, thank god you didn't all send your votes in the above format! Nightmare to parse :') Persephonia finally get an 18 in the last four-set of votes, while Lotunia boost Daehun and UVLand back into threat position. So what does that do to the scores? Scoreboard incoming...
June 27, 20205 yr It's also interesting though that there are some long established countries who have never received points from another, or just a tiny handful over a long period (maybe Bre can produce a list at some point). So you do wonder if anonymising things would end such droughts. Then again, it's possibly just coincidence in a lot of cases. I was amazed to find myself pointing Jayrusalem for the first time the other month, but they'd often either fallen just outside my votes or missed the final when I'd loved their entries.
June 27, 20205 yr Make that 4 15s now! Thank you Harve :heart: (you were one of the few I was counting on to hopefully be a big fan but I find your taste one of the most unpredictable in this contest with regards to my entries so never taken for granted!) A lot of the alternative-ish entries (read: Persephonia entries) I either adore or find them fine but have no desire to listen to again, even tho on paper I should love them all! Apologies for the fickleness.

June 27, 20205 yr Thank you Jay and NocheLuna!! At least someone from Semi 2 has finally given me points :drama:
June 27, 20205 yr There are so many positions in the 30s that I don't have but I'm stuck in one that I actually do already have unique position please!!
June 27, 20205 yr Author In terms of the discussion about voting, I rarely look at country names unless to remark 'oh, that doesn't sound like their usual thing!' There are so many countries that I regularly forget who is who unless the name makes it obvious. As for name recognition, I'm not sure what my last two results say about me, especially with the across the board winner predictions and promo from AQing this one!
June 27, 20205 yr I'll happily take either of the top two but it's gotta be Ultraviolenceland I reckon.
June 27, 20205 yr Out of those three contenders I think I'd like Ultra to come out on top? All are very good though so don't mind either way. No shade intended but I'm a bit confused how Hushkanukia is all the way up in 5th? The track didn't leave much impression on me in comparison to the rest of the top 10.
June 27, 20205 yr Ooh I do get an 18 after all!! Dobago my saviours in the dying moments. Thanks Dobbo :wub: x As I have been expecting all along I'm not a big fan of any of the songs near the top but 'Faded' is the best of that top 3 by some distance - lowkey want Hendinia to win though just because Rob was a delightful host last time xx
June 27, 20205 yr Author We will have New Lexico's votes next... just before 11 as I need to nip out for a second. Keep the chat flowing xox
