February 28, 20214 yr The Midnight already left that train as well because they got entered a third time a few months ago x last contest? because i can only see 2 appearances it in the songs thread
February 28, 20214 yr Author A few personal comments from me now: Well it was a bit of a shame the Danævii points dried up a bit towards the end having been top 10 for most of the reveal but top 20 and over 200 points I will definitely still take as a success. I wasn't sure how well an electronica piano composition would do here so I'm pleased it managed to get a fair few fans. 'Dance For The Hell Of It' just wasn't really for me, not by any means a bad song but it was one of my least favourites of the final, oh well. Fitting for such a constant hitmaker to win with their 100th entry though and I look forward to BJSC 133 in Altyr. Very pleased that 'The Otherside' managed to do very well, I was very much hoping it'd give Bøtanikkä a long awaited second win (and how fitting it would be for an Avicii co-written song to win a Danæviia contest!) but at least it put up a good fight. Yay for Zanmatony managing to get their first top 10 on their comeback!! Cumulonimbia / Land of DW top 5, Dobago top 15 and Aelandor top 20 are all great to see too. A shame that East Rukahvian had to finish so low once again with a house bop, but then again it did only just scrape through the semis. Once again I'm glad you've all enjoyed your stay in Berg, Danæviia. I really enjoyed hosting this month as ever especially with it being another high quality contest this time around. Spreadsheets will be up tomorrow.
February 28, 20214 yr yes thank you for hosting Dan! Flawless as always and love all the flourishes you add which aren't expected!
March 1, 20214 yr WHAT :clap: A :clap: WINNER :clap: OUTSTANDING. Thank you to those who pointed Alexina :wub: Gutted I finished as low as 34th though :snif: Ah well. EDIT: Also, ofc, great hosting and loved the presentation, Dan.
March 1, 20214 yr Yay for Rein coming 3rd <3 Chestoria deserved to do better than 21st. Easily the best thing they've sent imo. Congrats Altyr. Well I can't say I was too shocked to finish high in the semi as I didget hit vibes from FM but oops at underperforming compared to my expectations really. Think that's my 2nd 24th placer tho so can't complain especially when the quality was insanely strong really. Synthwave not smashing it hard this time round in general either (unless I missing something major lol). Pleased to get first time points from Kath and Mack!! I've been wondering for years whether I'd get votes from you lmao. Excellent hosting Dan. Can always bank on slick presentation from you!
March 1, 20214 yr Congratulations to Altyr Muunilinst for winning. Second last we'll take that. To be honest not really how I would want to reach a final at the expense of a late voter being deducted sorry Republic of Adonia.
March 1, 20214 yr East Rukahavian's run in the last few contests is kind of impressive in its own way tbh. 5 of their last 7 entries have qualified but 3 of those came last, then this one came 2nd from last and the other came 4th from last. Really nailing getting just enough appeal to qualify but not enough to actually do anything in the final. (It's better than having 10 DNQs in a row again at least!)
March 1, 20214 yr Congrats Altyr, very impressive even if I don't see what it is about that song to make people go for it. Forever the unpopular to your popular :D Very good to see Terra Avium in the top 3, that's more my speed of song Very well hosted Dan, was a fun read this morning.

March 1, 20214 yr Didn't really expect much better than that, but it's nice to see Aesthetica in a final again :) Thanks to those who pointed us! Congrats to Altyr Muunilinst on the win, it was very much deserved! Looking forward to the next contest!
March 1, 20214 yr Thank you Mack, PCF and Snake for the max points. Although it didn’t have many fans, good to see those who liked Astounded liked it a lot :wub: A shame it couldn’t win over more of you but, looking at the vote split, I guess it got very lucky to be in SF2 as I’m not sure that anyone from SF1 pointed it - it could have been that elusive nil pointer!!! :o Congratulations to Altyr on the win and thanks Dan for the great hosting. Good to see Cumu, Terra and Aer in the top 10 out of the songs I pointed.

Good to see Cumu, Terra and Aer in the top 10 out of the songs I pointed. There’s much more competition in the final so I’m sure people would’ve pointed you regardless of the semifinal. No way in hell you would’ve been a nil pointer lmao You first world Fljotavikian people complain about EVERYTHING. Some countries ACTUALLY failed to qualify from the semis so HOE PUH-LEASE.
March 1, 20214 yr “Ermahgerd we ACTUALLY could’ve received ZERO POINTS if we lived in a parallel universe even though we were safely through. Please (Nama)send(a) thoughts and prayers our way, this is way too traumatic.” - Dandeh, 2021
March 1, 20214 yr 8th!!! That's incredible well done me, I popped in when I was about 18th then slowly saw Larkins climbing - I was hoping for a top 10 with TV Dreams which is an early contendor favourite discovery of 2021. Thank you everyone who gave me points!!!
March 1, 20214 yr Congrats John! Not a fan of the song myself but a convincing enough win that I don't have to regret not bumping up Cam to my +18. Very strong top 10 in general though with Land of DW & Cor Lupus finishing very high. 18th for Thelonia is pretty dece too! Super happy with 14th for my entry even if it was top 10 for most of the evening. A relatively risky entry but there wasn't much else like it in the final which probably helped. Not quite a unique finishing position neither with 2 other instrumentals of mine White Sand & Hello E also landing 14th. Excellent job as ever Dan, you always deliver and then some in hosting these big contests :clap: Edited March 1, 20214 yr by Dobbo.
March 1, 20214 yr Unlike February 2020's top-tier contest, a lot of my faves (Fljotavik, Tartford, Caerfyddia, Utopia, Klumanica) have flopped to some extent this time and a lot of the top 10 don't do much for me, but I'm glad to have come away with so many discoveries!
March 1, 20214 yr Cam joins the 2-time second placers with only 2 appearances club. The Midnight won't be alone now yay! And not just Cam but Camden Cox too! (again ignoring that feature and any other possible recent appearances not in the songs thread) Edited March 1, 20214 yr by Dobbo.
