December 3, 20213 yr Ok, I've just come to again. Is there a Hosting for Dummies manual somewhere?? The next contest isn't due until January so please relax and enjoy Christmas and whatnot first before worrying about that...! (I'll be on hand to help out with anything when the time comes around, even imaduck was able to host a couple of times before with it being only mildly a disaster so I'm sure you should be able to pull it off :basil:)
December 3, 20213 yr even imaduck was able to host a couple of times before with it being only mildly a disaster That's.... reassuring.... I STILL have nightmares hosting PJSC a few years ago :cry:
December 3, 20213 yr 2nd in the semi! Trance does have a habit of smashing semis and then doing comparatively worse in the final.
December 3, 20213 yr and speaking of reliability... Kælan Mikla really came 22nd again *_* and with almost the same number of points as when I sent them as well ('Draumadís' got 157 so just a slight drop this time). I suppose that still isn't bad but c'mon y'all they deserve better than this xxx any takers to try sending them a third time some day? :lol:Was top 10 for a little while! There was an 11 country long drought and only 4 points in the last 14 voters so reading through I was just watching it slowly drop. :nocheer: That said, three 18s!!!1!! Thank you Bré, Jade, Chez for those and Doctor Blind for the 15, as well as all the other significant points. Picked up most of the points from fewer mid to high points (at least in the first half) rather than more trickle points, so a few big fans which is always nice to see. A decent midway position too. Congrats to Lookylion! Always good to see a new winner, got to admit I didn't see it coming but it was in my commiserations, good song. Addy, I said in the PM but hosting has been incredible, above ( :kink: ) and beyond! 🛫🛫🛫🛫🛫
December 3, 20213 yr Ok, I've just come to again. Is there a Hosting for Dummies manual somewhere?? There is, but it’s a little out of date. Lemme Polish it up when I get bored over Xmas
December 3, 20213 yr Well done Lookylion, one of the best winners in a while! I can easily see how that managed to run away with it though. Good to see Modern Love/Diggy Diggy Hole in the Top 10, plus a few more songs I pointed as well. Would have been nice to see Rolloland/Suedeonia/République d'Áskorza/Utopia a bit higher but glad they all made the final at least. Thanks for all the effort put in Addy for a stunning final!
December 3, 20213 yr Surprised to see I'm joint 3rd based on number of voters (shared with Klum who I'm also tied for 7th with in terms of points :lol: ) but I guess it makes sense seeing how many low scores I got. Surely I get a pretty big drop for the 12-point system :lol:
December 3, 20213 yr 'Holiday' btw comes in as the 4th highest scoring BJSC entry of all time and the 9th highest in terms of percentage of possible points!

December 3, 20213 yr I think it is also the first time that a finalist I have awarded the maximum 18 points to won!
December 3, 20213 yr I always forget that The Last Time collected over half of its available vote *.* That's brilliant for Lookylion to smash the elusive 400 points barrier, most of us can only dream of finding a song this accessible!
December 3, 20213 yr Author Also worth mentioning Lookylion scored points from 37 countries out of 57!!
December 4, 20213 yr That stat is actually comparatively not that impressive, especially coming only 5 contests after Stockholm Noir got 47 votes out of a possible 63 - there have been 32 songs in total which have received 38 or more votes. (Some of those were from contests that had a lot more than 57 votes in total of course but still) 19 countries placing it in their top 2 is a record by a pretty wide margin though after quickly botching together a way to check that! The old record was a three way tie on 15 - Indila and Sigala both got 5 10s/15s in addition to their 10 12s/18s, while the Clare Maguire winner got 9 18s and 6 15s.
December 4, 20213 yr Congratulations Lookylion, that's a very impressive score! Have to say I agree with Bré on Confidence Man having better entries in the past ('Better Sit Down Boy' indeed) but I can see why this one went further. Great to see FARC, Hendinia and N DNTN coming up behind as those were 3 of my favourites this time around. I did a couple things with my votes but the main one I'm going to pull out of the PM is my favourite artwork associated with my entry this month: Thanks Addy for a fantastically hosted contest, I love how all out you went with the theme and those voting cards were very pretty to look at - especially as I could read my foreign language one
December 4, 20213 yr It might be worth discussing in another topic… but has anyone had an entry sent which was already confirmed by another nation… only for that country to then go on and win the contest? I mean of course as I’ve previously said I’m very very happy for Lookylion and as I’d confirmed all kinds of entries this month in an attempt to qualify I was bemused to learn that the first time I had an submitted entry already confirmed by another nation that entry goes on to win! :lol: I was curious if this has been anyone else’s experience before? ^_^
December 4, 20213 yr Congratulations to Lookylion! ^_^ Definitely a well-deserving winner, although I'm not voting for it! Safe to say it's actually growing well on me after this results. Thank you to Bøtanikkä for the great hosting! :wub: Thanks so much for the 18 Cow Cow, and the pair of 1s are appreciated too Iz and Chez!WHOA WHAT??? A MEDAL POSITION FROM EASTOVKA FOR A POP SONG??? thank you Cow Cow!!! and thanks so much Rich for some more high points! :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:Thank you to Cow Cow and Iz! My first points from Eastovka hooray *.*You're welcome! Really love all of your entries :heart:
