March 1, 20214 yr Doesn’t that make Bøtanikkä the winner with 324 points verses Altyr’s 319 points? :huh: (although on the spreadsheet I see Bøtanikkä‘s total is calculated at 306, so there must be a reason for this 18 point margin that I’m missing. :lol: ) Dan voted in both semis so his votes are counted twice.
March 1, 20214 yr Wow, I'm very shocked/amazed but so happy to finish 4th - Bré: get those excel pivot tables out, what was our other 4th finish? Was it Special Request? I thought that there wasn't much support for the Cumulonimbia entry and then because of the strength of quality in the final that it would struggle to fight for attention and get lost in the mix. Anyway, I'm just pleased that so many others enjoyed it - huge thanks to all those who placed us in their votes. On the track both collaborators are great independent Irish artists who deserve a wider audience, Elaine Mai is a music producer and MayKay was formerly the lead singer of Fight Likes Apes, so this was quite a change of direction for her! Anyway, the trance like breakdown in the festival edit and soaring chorus make me want the summer to arrive right now. I do wish that my favourites from Utopia and Vülkyria had done much better but I made some excellent discoveries and have no complaints with the results, the quality was so high and I really didn't have anything that I didn't enjoy in the final. Well done to John for the win, and thank you Dan for putting together a superb contest and presentation - I'm sorry I wasn't able to participate much but I have been checking back and it was very enjoyable to follow.
March 1, 20214 yr Special Request was your other 4th place yes (don't need a fancy Excel search to look that one up x). Aside, Elaine Mai was actually the most voted for song this month (and with a bit of a lead, 35 votes compared to 32 for Land of DW who had the second most) - two months in a row where a song has got the most votes without even being in the top 3, and then the second most voted song wasn't in the top 3 either!
March 1, 20214 yr Special Request was your other 4th place yes (don't need a fancy Excel search to look that one up x). Thank you Bré for answering my Special Request. I'd like to add: Tune!
March 1, 20214 yr Near the bottom is to be expected for Niceland I guess but looking at that last spreadsheet Dan posted it was absolutely a case of being in the right semi this time round :lol: Glad to be off the mark in terms of Qs for this year at least, and thanks for all the people who gave me points! Would have preferred a Cam win but glad to see so many of my favourites up there in the Top 10 and Persephonia in the Top 20 as well after tripling their highest-ever score from me :o (it was going to happen one day!) Thanks Dan for a brilliantly-hosted contest and congrats to Altyr for the win!
March 2, 20214 yr Wow, very pleased with those results, I voted for 8 of the top 10 and 10 of the top 12! Oops at the winner not being one of those but it wasn't bad by any means. Loved the close results and all of the lead changes. Congrats John! NCT 127 really didn't deserve last... A great job hosting as expected, Dan, thanks!
March 2, 20214 yr Thelonia confirmed as the biggest grower in the contest for me - from zero to 18 points in the space of a few extra listens! Just shows how current listening tastes can really change how much attention you give something. so true. repeat listens can totally change initial perceptions.... :o
March 2, 20214 yr So I assume from the silence that the Botannika song IS a rip-off of A Spaceman Came (Travelling)!!!!! How has she not been sued?? I think if the Spaceman became aware of the sang, that Cam woman and producers would end up in court.
March 2, 20214 yr Only if Altyr also weren't your 5 or above :P Ooh yeah at A Spaceman Came Travelling. I knew it sounded like something but not The Riddle as some pointed out!
March 2, 20214 yr Author but what does rave.dj have to say about it? ...wow they really are similar, how did I not notice :lol:
March 2, 20214 yr Unfortunately that means we have to disqualify the song :( So congrats Chez on coming 2nd again :cheer:
March 2, 20214 yr Wait, what's happening The sang is a complete rip-off of A Spaceman Came (Travelling)!! I'm not sure if it will get disqualified, as the rules state that covers can be accepted as long as they're different to the original, so we'll have to see what the veto committee says!
March 2, 20214 yr I mean, nothing is going to happen, the contest is over - if anything, if that was a problem, it's the mods fault for not spotting it at the time, not Addy's.
