April 21, 20214 yr Oh wow I only lost my 1 pointer in semi 2 :o the final is going to be tough to order with only 2 losses across both top 10s :lol:
April 21, 20214 yr Yeah, I used to follow the German charts a lot more than I do now so I knew quite a few of your entries came from there often from recognising the artists (although Sofia was pretty massive across the rest of Europe too to be fair, I wasn't on the forum at the time you entered it but I was a fan of it at the time regardless). Even with this one I thought Never Not Try sounded so much like the sort of song German radio would love too (though it turns out he just won one of the talent shows). :lol: Just searching through the songs of BJSC thread I see quite a few massive German hits were sent in the past as well (Geiles Leben, Auf Uns and Atemlos durch die Nacht all came to mind)! You can blame my four work trips a year to Germany (pre-Covid) for those <3 Whenever I’m there I have the radio on all the time and discover some great stuff. Both of those I still hammer regularly, along with Stadt by Cassandra Steen which I entered into a BJSC spin-off. There have been some other great German language entries too, like Frida Gold in 2011. Just caught up on the thread, such an incredible hosting - thanks Jafet, the flags were all stunning and thanks so much for the effort. Aquafina was a pretty huge loss there, I’d thought that could do very well for them. A few of my faves that had a lot of DNQ predictions did make it in though, which is good. Sorry to see Summericia and a few others out too.
April 21, 20214 yr Quite a lot of voters for a 30th placed song there! Singerpurear was fun for variety but ultimately couldn't place it too high up my rankings in such a strong semi. Will say I'm impressed that it sounds shockingly 'modern' for a recording from 1938 though! Yes, thanks everyone for liking it! Our new flag is FABULOUS! :heart: I just downloaded a version on itunes - and it sounds old, in terms of sound quality! So it's either been suped up by sound studio wizardry for an expensive movie/TV spot (quite possible) or it's an identikit superb cover that's as good as or better than the original. We will be sad if it's the latter as we want that record for oldest entry....!
April 21, 20214 yr Oh my goodness! Thanks all for the points in particular Jafet for the 10 points, Flynnonda, Holland-Oats and Zanmatony for the 7 points! I think the song has outperformed by expectations and sadly this becomes the 4th consecutive DNQ for us -- maybe I will become the master of borderline out entries :P :P Thanks for all the support and I hope to send an even stronger entry next edition! Doh! Just outside our points too, a good positive response though, and even if you got another 7 DNQ's you wouldn;t beat our debut run of 12 DNQ's (that's not a challenge BTW we own that record forever!) :lol:
April 21, 20214 yr thanks for hosting, it was truly beautiful even i fell asleep before semi 2 sorted. So close in Semi 2 but I'm glad that there's a good response for my song even though a lot to be in semi 1 :( Wrong semi.
April 21, 20214 yr Thanks Jafet for the reveal and the design of nation flags! Great effort all round!
April 21, 20214 yr Well that's disappointing but at least it wasn't a close call to qualifying. Pushing my luck with the instrumentals now perhaps so might switch it up a bit for next month. Results were generally good but I'm surprised Caerfyrddia didn't qualify and that I was it's biggest fan. Incredible effort put into this Jafet, absolutely tremendous results thread :clap:
April 21, 20214 yr thank you for all the time and effort you put into this jafet <3 are we getting a final thread today? x
April 21, 20214 yr Author thank you for all the time and effort you put into this jafet <3 are we getting a final thread today? x Yes, I'm setting it up right now!
April 21, 20214 yr CUMULONIMBIA OMG I love it Jafet! Thank you. *.* You've definitely put my 10 second Paint job to shame, though that's a little unfair to compare because it's SO much better. I just wanted to echo the comments praising the immense effort you've put into hosting this contest. Outstanding. Sad but not surprised to see EXUM out (but thx to those who threw us some points - YES Pav!), it was an incredibly strong semi final, far too strong for us Cumulonimbians who usually squeak through on a technicality - great to see Rontvia and Kathaldazia through and in Semi 2 I'll be throwing my support behind Fljótavík of course (the other Orbital sounding track :P )
April 22, 20214 yr . semi final two qualifier 20 of 20 GREENFROZE Zolita Truth Tea ..based on.. I went full Cthulthu here oops . That's fine, it turned out lovely :wub: Oh, and I was at the edge of my seat this whole time. Can't believe I was revealed as the last qualifier! So happy I made it into the final again :D I did lose a couple of my favorites, though :( Edited April 22, 20214 yr by Freeze
April 22, 20214 yr I wasn’t sure whether I would qualify after seeing the predictions but I’m over the moon that I qualified for the final! Yay! I might stick around for a while*, Bré. I’m super glad I came back for THIS contest. The presentation, effort and flags - INCREDIBLE! Can't wait for the final! Thank you for the upgraded version of our flag, LOVE it. Caerfyrddia, Harmonica, Mulgracia :cry: *until I DNQ again :ph34r:
