April 29, 20214 yr I'm finding it really hard to click with new music recently, these contests seem to keep swinging around and I'm mad unprepared :lol:
April 29, 20214 yr Now Jafet - please promise me that you'll put your feet up and take it easy this weekend, enjoy some luxury wind down and maybe take the whole of May easy too. You've more than earned it! Oh and then win and come back to host again... x Absolutely brilliant to see ishi vu in the Top 3, I mean I know I was hyping it for the win but I knew in my heart that it could suffer quite a polarised voting pattern - debut album is out tomorrow so I'm looking forward to checking that out. Great to see Jake win with Ane Brun- it was one my favourites from first listen but in such a strong final it had to make do with sitting outside our Top 5, but it's a fitting winner and you absolutely deserve it Jake. A shame that India Jordan didn't do a little better however I did actually enjoy the edit that Dandy* made.. although I see that Harve is a fan too so that's more important to me, and Top 20 would actually be a good result for us so maybe Dandy* is breaking the Doctor Blind #1 singles curse by doing a cheeky radio edit- although I see Math actually already smashed the curse because Grimes is fifth!! farc hosting 4 ur nerve v soon x 100% here for it. <3 You actually hosted my first ever contest Jake back in early 2014, it was part of the reason I signed up (that and I was being badgered by Bré to sign up -)
April 29, 20214 yr Ooh thanks for the extra stats. Can I be a pest again and ask for Bre's scoreboard with the artists/song titles? :kink:
April 29, 20214 yr Ooft, now here's a Results show I wish I could've stayed up for! :lol: 12th overall and 2nd in the jury vote, and all those double-figure points in there *.*.* Thank you all so much, It was such a showstopper for me, but this sound is so niche, I was honestly unsure I'd even qualify with how big the competition was this month so that's wonderful to see, ever the more pleasing as it's nine places higher than my other post-rock entry years ago, it'll go mainstream soon, mark my words x Great winner, congrats to FARC, I was so close to voting for it, and D'yermak'er too, but both just fell out at the last minute, good to know neither needed it badly! :D Great to see FSR Rontvia and Rolloland in the top 10 as my top 3 was nigh on inseparable. Would've liked Utopia and Arcodesia a bit higher, but it could've been worse and I guess for the former even qualifying is a triumph! Barely needs saying at this point, but thank you Jafet for the marvellous hosting, I truly cannot comprehend how much time and effort went into it and it all looked so beautiful, won't be forgotten any time soon, now please do take a rest!
April 29, 20214 yr Naughty jury :nono: Although I really can't complain with 14th given hwo terribly I usually do, thank you to all the many people who gave us votes! FARC were my favourite of the contenders so good to see them win in the end, Rolloland Top 10 was good to see as well. Shame to see Varake so low down in the end but glad Trifoski managed to leap up a few places at least. 16th in my semi :o Not as safe as I hoped I'd be then! I thought I might have pushed a few songs into the Final with my votes but amazingly all of my semi votes either ended up in the TOp 10 of the semi or didn't qualify at all :lol: And finally a massive thanks to Jafet for putting so much effort into one of the most stunning contests I can remember!
April 29, 20214 yr I imagine that vetos prevent this occurring regularly, but how often do artists score multiple medal positions as Postiljonen have now done? I count at least 23 artists, including Charli XCX who has three top 3 hits (albeit one being uncredited in its contest at the time) and one artist who has top 3 hits under 2 different names (Rationale / Tinashé): Cam - Diane {Dobago CXX; 2} Cam - The Otherside {Bøtanikkä CXXXII; 2} Camden Cox - Gold {Aeroche CV; 2} Camden Cox - Healing {Hendinia CXXI; 2} Charli XCX - Nuclear Seasons {Mdiče XXXIX; 3} Charli XCX - You're The One {Umiiruka XLVI; 3} Icona Pop - I Love It (feat.

Colby O'Donis) {M.K.L. VII; 2} Lady Gaga - Paparazzi {Torchwood X; 2} Lily Allen - The Fear {Ashton VI; 2} Lily Allen - Fuck You {Nonsuch VIII; 1} LINES - People (feat.

Noonie Bao) {Ultraviolenceland XCI; 1} Noonie Bao - Pyramids {Hendinia CXXV; 3} Postiljonen - Atlantis {D'yermak'er CXXXIV; 2} Postiljonen - Supreme {Skall LIV; 1} Rationale - Fuel To The Fire {Mulgracia LXXVIII; 1} Tinashé and Kissy Sell Out - Come On Over (This Could Be Love) {Kingdom of Shadow XXIV; 2} Sheelah - The Last Time {FSR Rontvia XXXI; 1} Sheelah - Psycho {FSR Rontvia XXVI; 1} St. Lucia - China Shop {Kluminican Republic CXXVI; 2} St. Lucia - September {Skall XLIX; 2} The Subs - Trapped (feat. Colonel Abrams) {FARC LXIV; 2} The Subs vs. Tsar B - Flesh & Bones {Fljótavík CXX; 3} Tone Damli - Look Back {Ashton XLI; 2} Tone Damli - Smash {Federal Republic of Ashton LII; 3} TR/ST - Capitol {Aeroche C; 1} TR/ST - Sulk {Aeroche XLVII; 1} Truls - Circles {Kluminican Republic LXXIX; 2} Truls - Out Of Yourself {Persephonia LIII; 3} Marcel Woods - Bring It Back (feat. Vanbot) {Caerfyrddia LV; 1} Vanbot - Make Me, Break Me {Lievant XXXIII; 3} Velvet - Come Into The Night {Tinnmark XXI; 3} Velvet - Take My Body Close {FNT Nickodonia XIV; 3} It's possible there may be others who had hits under multiple names but Rationale was the only one I could find from the likely incomplete list I have of such artists (and there may also be artists who had hits both solo and as part of groups but I do not have a list of those to consult at all x) but aside from that this should be a complete list unless I messed up somewhere x Sheelah and TR/ST are the only artists with multiple wins and in both cases it was the same country who sent both of them - Postiljonen is the latest of a number of close calls for the first artist to win for 2 different countries.

April 29, 20214 yr I think I found my next entry it will be overhyped and underappreciated like most of my entries but I'm obsessed with it at the moment
April 30, 20214 yr Fantastic hosting Jafet, a shame I couldn't make the final. Congratulations FARC :cheer:

Ooh thankyou for this!! I had suspected you'd be the one to come back with an interesting read. I completely forgot that there's a second medal position of mine (St Lucia) that has been resent to give the sender another top 3. Since I have only had 4 in total, might I advise for you all to recycle Lo-Fi-Fnk and Christopher Tin/Soweto Gospel Choir as according to this track record u are likely to do well x
April 30, 20214 yr Lo-Fi-Fnk and Christopher Tin were both already recycled as well! (Not doing quite as well as the other two but both scoring pretty solid hits the second time as well - 'Nightclub Nirvana' coming 10th and 'Temen Oblak' coming 11th respectively) Soweto Gospel Choir is free real estate, if they actually have any other songs xx
April 30, 20214 yr Very late, apologies! Absolutely DELIGHTED with 2nd place. It was between 'Atlantis' and 'Help' from Postiljonen (when I knew I was going for them) and although I adore both, I think I went for the right choice :dance: Glad it had so many fans <3 Well done to Jake on the win :cheeseblock: On the otherside of the results, I am v upset at the forever underrated Varakë being so low down :snif: Deserved more! Jafet this contest has been exceptional. The hosting has been possibly the most engaging and exciting I have ever seen - what an absolutely brilliant event it has all been. Thanks for giving us all a brilliant ride <3

If Pinnacle hadn’t be robbed of its rightful victory, Tone/Ashton would be the only one standing on all three podium steps. As it is, pleasing to have the only two time top3 non winner 🤣
