May 11, 20223 yr Congrats Lotunia! And thanks for hosting (again x) John! Really happy with 16th :o I did not expect that. And.. I also did not expect Aquafina rock bottom?
May 11, 20223 yr eyyy 2 18s to finish, that's more like it! I had a suspicion I might do quite well. Congrats to the top 5!
May 11, 20223 yr Omg 18th is way better than what I expected considering muted support and after all the nations who I thought enjoys pop trash ignored it lol. (And ugh almost got elusive 19th placement :cheeseblock:) Congrats Lotunia on your anniversary win and Rontvia for medal position. Thanks John for fabulous hosting.
May 11, 20223 yr Aelandor and Skall lifesavers :cheeseblock: Yay for my current SOTY sneaking a top 10! I was getting worried with those last batch of votes. HAAi top 5 and my neighbor Jupiterdonia snatching a surprise 6th. So so happy with that BUT Cumulonimbia and Land of DW too low :nono:
May 11, 20223 yr thanks very much Bøtanikkä and Aquafina keeping me top 20! :cheer: Lookylion really crept up on Rontvia in the end then ;o but glad to see the top 2 still remain as it was. hooray for some dance bloc rep in the top 10 too in Aeroche, Kathaldazia and Jupiterdonia. congrats Lotunia, great entry and a discovery for me too.
May 11, 20223 yr FANTASTIC result for Rontvia, one of the most instant tracks this year, I swear FSR Ashvia is on a roll this year *.* Also didn't expect Jupiterdonia being this high so kicking myself even more :drama: Glad to see Botanikka get a decent result after it looked like they weren't gonna get the needed justice earlier on! 24th is... fine, I guess I should be glad I still manage to qualify consistently even if the Cor Lupus descent into nugudom seems inevitable these days. Moral of the story is y'all need to pick my entries from now bc I am HORRIBLE at making decisions and listening to my heart, passing up on Rêve, Ylona, Noa, and now Claudia and TSEBA is just proof that I don't have a good judge of taste when it comes to this contest :blink:
May 11, 20223 yr Will do my usual double check of the final scoreboard when I am finished adding in the last 11 votes but in the mean time congratulations to Noche for picking up a second win and celebrating your anniversary in style! I have never been able to get quite as into M83's music as most of the people who I usually have similar music taste to and this song isn't really an exception to that unfortunately (I did like it but fell just short of my votes, I wanted to be blown away by it much more than I was) but I can certainly see the appeal. 'Parmi Les Mortels' remains the only winner so far this year that I have voted for, hopefully next month... Susanne Sundfør joins the list of artists to have won more than one contest in this forum, after 'Delirious' winning one of the BJFestivalens!
May 11, 20223 yr Congrats to NocheLuna! Gave 'Oblivion' 4 points so definitely happy with that as a winner. Cannot believe I finished top 10 with 'Tachi' :o did not see that coming at all, I was honestly hoping for somewhere in the 20s at best before the results kicked off tonight. I was actually bottom 5 in some odds :lol: fantastic to seal a top 10 for the year now, especially after starting 2022 off with a DNQ. At least one top 10 every year since I started competing lives on. My next planned entry is quite whacky so now I have an unexpected hit I'm even more inclined to send that one. Really pleased that this entry connected so much anyway, thanks for the love! Would definitely recommend the 'Neotokyo' soundtrack in general as I considered several songs from it. Terra and Skall deserved better than languishing in the 30s but glad they qualified in the first place x Thanks for the strong hosting job John! Edit: 51,000th post :cheer:
May 11, 20223 yr Congrats Lotunia! A great, epic-sounding standout entry. In the end 4 of my pointers (Lotunia, Aeroche, Jadakissnia and Tartford) made the top ten so not too bad, still some really robbed songs from FARC, Summericia, Greenfroze and Terra Avium to name just a few. Thanks for hosting Altyr, it's been a great contest. Really happy with 27th, I was expecting mid-to-low-30s but that's my second best result to date (admittedly that doesn't mean much when I've had 3 finalists x). Thanks to anyone who enjoyed Four Phonica! Edited May 11, 20223 yr by Ansel
May 11, 20223 yr Congrats Lotunia! And thanks for hosting (again x) John! Really happy with 16th :o I did not expect that. And.. I also did not expect Aquafina rock bottom? All righty, time to spill: what happened with the semis?
May 11, 20223 yr Author Disappointed with the 17th. Was hoping for low top 10 but once Bre complimented it, I knew I was doomed.
May 11, 20223 yr Congrats Lotunia, a big winner indeed! It's a nice song and was growing on me, I can see why it crossed all the voter bases and managed to win, and obviously a spot on choice of anniversary entry. Thanks Rob for the final four points too, I'm elated and shocked to be 2nd! A year since Self Esteem went top ten and four years since Freya Ridings was our last hit this big so it's really cool to have another big smash. I had a feeling it could do quite well when I first heard it, which was funnily enough a month or two ago when it autoplayed on Spotify at the end of one of the BJSC semi playlists that month. I thought it was one of that month's entries and LOVED it so was about to assign it my 18 and then realised it wasn't and was excited that I could send it! I did not, however, expect it to come out on top with the pop voters on such a hugely strong month for the genre. Thanks so much for the great and efficient hosting for a second month running John! Hope you can have a rest now. Also so good to see Jupiterdonia, Kath and Tartford all making the top ten <3 The AQs are both lower than I'd expected, the results continue to throw up surprises every month.
May 11, 20223 yr Congrats Lotunia! And thanks for hosting (again x) John! Really happy with 16th :o I did not expect that. And.. I also did not expect Aquafina rock bottom? preach x
May 11, 20223 yr Ow a bronze medal!!! Amazing!! Thank you to all the nations that voted for Claudia - much appreciated! Also, huge thanks to our lovely host country, and congratulations to winning nation Lotunia! Bring on the next round!!
May 11, 20223 yr Gosh, I think that's the second time this year my 18 has won, I don't think it's ever happened twice in a calendar year! *.* Congrats Lotunia, pretty much anything from M83 is an instant win for me and while I do tend to prefer giving it to discoveries, there just wasn't anything quite up to it this month! Extremely pleased to see Jadakissnia and Jupiterdonia in the top 10 as I really didn't expect them, and Dobago and Tartford were two of the much better pop entries so I approve of that too, especially as I expected the top 10 to be littered with pop songs I don't get the appeal of x That last run of votes really killed me, I was hoping for a little higher than the 30s, but I suppose it's back to business as usual after my two top 3s! Really happy it made a great impression on some of you though and hopefully the first of many 6Music adjacent entries from me this year B-) Thanks for another round of smooth hosting, John, so quick!
May 11, 20223 yr All righty, time to spill: what happened with the semis? SO as it happens YOU were my 10 points.. but my email got sent like this: 12 | Mosquetania | Charlotte Jane | 10 percent24 | Cor Lupus | Madison Rose | Better Off Alone 10 | Kylienips | Cannons | Backwards ... So as you can see, two 10 points but on quick glance, it looks like a 12 for Mosquetania and a 10 for Kylienips and nothing for Cor Lupus... When I realised this, I resent my votes with Cor Lupus as my 10 points and everything else knocked down a position but after the deadline had passed I realised... I SENT THAT PM TO MYSELF not to JOHN so I think he didn't add 10 points to Cor Lupus and instead ignored that because it's hard to see it's there in the initial votes? John - can you confirm this I don't think it affects the qualifying results?? So it's all ok but just to clarify :drama:
May 11, 20223 yr I'm absolutely out of words to be honest. I can't believe I have received a lot of high points from a combination of different nations! I'm very grateful and I hope I will send something similar and convincing in the future (Hiwwhee anyone?? ;) ;) ;) ). Absolutely stoked to finish as my 2nd best position tonight! CHAL BADHE AAJ!!!! Absolutely overjoyed to see Lotunia winning. This is an amazing winner! FSR Rontvia and Lookylion both shocked me to finish that high. :o Congratulations on getting medal positions! Hushkanukia achieves an amazing result though I'd love to see it even higher. ;) This song flopped in another contest I'm in so glad to see this do well here. Cumulonimbia, Flynnonda and Greenfroze absolutely robbed unfortunately. Botanikka deserves higher too! This edition is quite iconic with a lot of memorable songs. Long may it continue! I also encourage risks taken as you'll never how that'll propagate! Thank you John for another prompt hosting. Hoping to have another edition some time in late time. At the same let me know if you want a Pride edition in June hosted by me! ;)
