I second this! Right on time for POPHub’s scheduled pure-pop entry
January 23, 20214 yr I don't mind the winner, can see why it's popular was a mid-table rank for me. Great hosting Frank :) Saved from 37th at the death, pleased with how many people voted - thanks all. Only one voter down compared to last month but 82 points fewer, liked but loved!
January 23, 20214 yr That's a great result with the top 2 both being in my own top 4. Congratulations Dan on winning and Rob finishing in 2nd place. I'm really thrilled with 6th place for Perry's song. Thanks Frank for hosting so well and putting all the effort into a commentary to accompany each pair of votes.
January 23, 20214 yr Not to take away from Dan's moment but Bre do you have how many 18s I got? Anna did so much better than I expected :o & 7th is nice to have a unique placement. And tbh the quality of the songs up top was good! No shade xx
January 23, 20214 yr Wooooo! Well done Dan, I'm so glad that the best entry in the contest did have the crossover appeal required to win (or at least the major support it needed from enough non pop nations to do so). What a stunning entry, and the second month in a row that my 18 pointer has won. I adore all these instrumentals although I really could have picked a better month to send mine. Over 150 points is wonderful and much love to all the voters but ending down in 27th means it probably got swallowed up a bit by all the other instrumentals. A wonderful runner up too, I'm glad Rob had faith to send VNV Nation after they didn't do so well last time, as this was a brilliant entry that reminded me of Depeche Mode. Most of the rest of the top ten was good too - yay at Bøtanikkä just hanging in there in 10th. Shame to see Séyetana in the bottom five, it was great fun and deserved better. Also Tartford second last :( Retro 90s dance doesn't always work out then. Thanks very much for stellar hosting throughout Frank, great pace and a very enjoyable host.
January 23, 20214 yr oh wow, Danæviia actually went and did it! :heart: thanks for all the love this beautiful piece has been getting, I'm glad so many were able to make a discovery from it and in such an unbelievably strong contest too (from my point of view with all the dance/electronic anyhow!) didn't expect it'd have enough crossover appeal although Hushkanukian hype was a sign (thanks for +15!), and it now makes two of my winners orchestral dance so perhaps we should be seeking more of those out. Frank you've been an excellent host too, glad we sat on 'Wetlands' last month and gave you the hosting opp!!
January 23, 20214 yr Double checking the scoreboard quickly as per before commenting further :magic: DON'T YOU DARE
January 23, 20214 yr can’t wait to start 2021 off in danaeviia! Congrats dan! I want frank to win another one of these so that I can actually qualify and bask in how well this was done
January 23, 20214 yr Author Thanks All for the opportunity, it was a fantastic experience! B-) Waiting for Bré to okay the final results, but I'll share the spreadsheet so you can check out the semis: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1unx...dit?usp=sharing
January 23, 20214 yr Well I posted that too early but it still applies, wow my top 2 being the top 2 has only happened once before and coincidentally it was Danaeviia's last win :cheeseblock: Four of my top 5 being in the top 10 as well and almost all of my top 10 doing pretty decently too (guess Cumulonimbia could've been higher but you can't win them all). Many congrats Dan for a third win (all of which being real favourites of mine!) :wave: Has to be one of my favourite sets of results ever! ... or would be if we overlooked my flop xx -_- But while I'm a little disappointed for a song I've loved so much for a while now, I did see this coming. In a month so heavy with instrumentals/experimental electronic, it probably did get a bit lost amongst the crowd it would usually appeal to and it took even me a while to fully appreciate it. I'm glad I sent it if just so Varien's last DNQ can be rectified and I really wanted to introduce it to a wider audience, I can see most of those it did appeal to liked it a lot so that's a great thing :wub: At least I got over 100 and wasn't last like the most of that vote x Thanks for this, Frank, brilliant contest and hosted so well right from the start, we'll have to make you win more often!
January 23, 20214 yr Okay, so Beaver didn't quite give me 8 in the semi as declared in my national thread but did give me 7, noooo Meekul :lol:
January 23, 20214 yr Final scoreboard all matches mine so we're all good! ^_^ We have a rare three-way split (in fact a five-way split technically) between the countries with the most points, most votes and most 18s - which means we'll have three different leaders in the new YTD thread which - and please hold me to this - WILL be coming tomorrow, alongside the full EOY summary for 2020! Danæviia obviously winning the most points, but the most 18s is Jadakissnia, while the most votes is a three way tie between Summericia... and Aeroche (9th) and Lookylion (14th), bizarrely enough...! I will need to do a bit of digging to see if there has ever been a song that got the (joint) most votes while finishing as low as 14th before :o
January 23, 20214 yr Lol at me actually winning the semi when I assumed I'd be the bottom qualifier :lol:
January 23, 20214 yr (also FFS Michael, I needed something like that in this final (I could've been as high as 36th xx))
January 23, 20214 yr ONE POINT off coming 4th, you are kidding me!!!! :lol: :cry: ugh, one day :kink: ah no, if I only I'd known in advance - it was a real toss up between you and POPHub for my one point and in the end they just had it. but you'd have been like at least 7 points in most other contests.
January 23, 20214 yr Not to take away from Dan's moment but Bre do you have how many 18s I got? 5, the 2nd most out of anyone. (Jadakissnia got 6 and a few others got 4).
